Waterfront, Beachfront Cottage, with Amazing Views
About this house rental
Situated in Birch Bay, this lovely house for $131 per night is a great choice for your next break. Discover the enchanting beauty of fall and winter at the waterfront Blue Heron Cottage, where serene views and tranquil moments await. As the seasons change, watch from almost every room as the sea recedes to reveal tide pools and sandy beaches transformed by the autumn leaves and winter's frosty touch. Spend your days exploring the beach, now adorned with the colors of fall or the crispness of winter, collecting shells, and enjoying the unique charm of the colder seasons by the sea. Our contactless check-in and professional hosting ensure a seamless experience from booking to the end of your stay, perfect for a cozy fall getaway or a peaceful winter retreat. The cottage's decor, with its beachy feel, harmoniously blends with the seasonal changes outside. Wake up in the two front bedrooms, fitted with comfortable queen beds, to the soothing sound of waves and the sight of the sea framed by fall foliage or glistening with winter's first snow. The sunsets, viewed from these west-facing rooms, become even more spectacular with the vibrant colors of autumn or the clear, crisp skies of winter. The living space, with its open concept, is ideal for gathering and enjoying different activities while staying connected. The massive window in the living room offers incredible views of the water and sunsets, now set against a backdrop of changing seasons. Step out the sliding glass door to a large grassy yard, perfect for enjoying the cool autumn air or watching a gentle snowfall, complete with a propane barbecue and fire pit for memorable fall evenings or cozy winter nights. A community path beside the house leads to miles of beach, now a wonderland of seasonal beauty. The yard offers plenty of privacy, making the cottage feel like your own secluded world. For those who need to work or study during their stay, our comfortable office chair, desk, and good internet connectivity allow you to blend productivity with relaxation. Take a break and gaze out at the stunning seasonal views for inspiration. This casual beach environment, now enveloped in the magic of fall and winter, invites you to relax and savor life's little moments with friends and family. It's an ideal space for couples or a family getaway, offering a unique experience in the cooler months. Bring your canoe, kayak, or rowboat to launch from the beach below the cottage, now a gateway to a different kind of seasonal adventure. The path is large enough to carry your boat and provisions to the water, but do check the tides and weather, as conditions can be more variable during these seasons. Explore Semiahmoo by walking, biking, or driving, enjoying the views of the water, Canada, Birch Bay, and islands beyond, now dressed in their seasonal finery. The towns of Birch Bay and Blaine, just a ten to fifteen-minute drive away, offer cozy spots to warm up and enjoy local cuisine, while Bellingham is a short drive south. When the border is open, a visit to White Rock, just twenty minutes from the Cottage, is a delightful addition to your fall or winter escape.

This was a terrific rental. The location near Semhiamoo, Blaine and Birch Bay. Is ideal. There are a lot of opportunities for exploring. The outside of the house is plain with virtually no landscaping, but inside you are welcomed by a nicely appointed home. The living room offers a magical picture window overlooking the water. The furniture is attractive and comfortable. Bedrooms are bright. The kitchen is small, but quite nice for two people cooking. It had everything one could want for preparing and serving meals. Everything worked -small to large appliances! Thank you! The neighborhood is quiet, so it’s a great getaway from urban hubbub. Interactions with Jackie were terrific. We felt very welcomed. 5 stars!

Very nice and clean with a beautiful view
This was a lovely stay for our family. It's a very short walk to the beach and the outdoor chairs were a nice addition. The views were gorgeous and since the place was in a quiet area, it was very relaxing. We would definitely come here again. The beds were comfortable too which isn't always the case in rentals!

We very much enjoyed the property. The cabin was older and quirky and very clean. The bedrooms did get chilly, but the space heaters made it very comfortable. The view was amazing. The short walk to the beach ment we were able to enjoy the beach several times. The complimentary snacks, beverages, and toiletries were very thoughtful. We would 100% stay again.

We had a lovely family weekend getaway staying at Blue Heron Cottage! We were greeted by a beautiful sunset over the ocean out of the huge landscape window as we checked in, and appreciated the flight of local IPAs in the fridge :) The home was clean, comfortable, and well equipped. Beach access was extremely convenient, and we had a blast collecting shells and bird watching during low tide, even getting close-up fly-bys from a bald eagle on both days of our stay. There were herons everywhere, and even a few bats flying around during twilight, much to our daughter's delight. Jackie was very welcoming and made sure our stay went smoothly. Thank you for a great weekend getaway!

We absolutely loved our stay at this bright and cheery cottage. We ate dinner outside and watched the gorgeous sunsets together, and we even felt like we were outside when in the cottage with that massive window in the living room. With easy access to the water, we would spend our days exploring the beach with all the different water levels. Our girls could catch crabs and admire the birds all day. The cottage was well-stocked and was a lovely home away from home for our family.

Spectacular location overlooking Semiahmoo Bay and Canada,. I had not seen so many eagles and herons in one place - even bald eagles.and osprey. The cottage was well equiped and even though the outside temperature reached 106 degrees the absence of A/C was not an issue as the breeze off the ocean kept the property comfortable. I would definitely rent the cottage again.

This cottage is a lovely cottage with an amazing view! We appreciated the extra touches like s’mores supplies and starters and logs for the fire pit, snacks and the local beer flight. It was very clean with plenty of space for our family of four. We enjoyed clamming in Birch Bay and then had our feast in the garden overlooking the ocean at sunset. We also used it as a starting point to drive into Mount Baker State park for a stunning hike. Just perfect!
