About this property

Hop off the steps onto the beach - a rare Birch Bay Find! Kayaks, full kitchen.

  • One of the few truly beachfront homes in Birch Bay - step off the deck directly onto the beach. No roads, no cliffs, no walking. A truly waterfront home - and a perfect place to make memories!

    Grab your family, friends, dog – or just yourself – and come enjoy a delightful time at the beach! Daytimes can be filled with beachcombing, birding, exploring the tide-flats, visiting local attractions, or exploring nearby hiking trails. As the tide comes in you might want to hop in the kayaks (launched directly from the yard) for a sunset paddle, then enjoy a relaxing dinner on the deck, or visit one of our delicious local restaurants. Finish the day around the firepit with s’mores, or stargazing from the deck (or both). Fall asleep to the gentle lapping of the waves.

    Beach - the steps are right out the back door. If steps aren’t an option (for you or your dog) there is access at the public area two houses away.
    State Park - one mile down the road or beach
    Closest restaurant - 1/2 miles north along the beach

    Our beachfront home is designed to make every moment of your stay delightful and unforgettable, combining comfort with the natural beauty of Birch Bay.

    Some of our favorite features…

    → Exceptional bay views from the living room, bedrooms, and deck
    → Daily tide changes that expose miles of enchanting tidepools and soft sandbars
    → Dedicated workspaces for remote workers.
    → In-home washer and dryer for hassle-free laundry days.
    → Wifi, ethernet, and a Smart TV for all your digital needs.
    → Waterside deck with a propane firepit
    → Delicious restaurants and coffeeshops that are locally owned (no chains!)
    → Kayaks provided, and golf carts available for rent a half mile away.

    Eager to hear more? Here is what some of our guests have to say:

    "We loved our 5-night stay at Dustin’s place! The home was comfortable, and had absolutely stunning ocean views—the sound of the waves at night was magical" - K

    "What a view! At high tide it feels like you’re on a house boat. Clean. Walkable to the restaurants and pubs." - L

    "This classic beach bungalow was perfect for our family over the Thanksgiving weekend. The grandkids loved the grass lawn area & beachfront access. With 3 bedrooms and 2 baths for 4 adults and 2 under 7 (plus 1 old dog) we had plenty of space to stretch out and find quiet" - D

Beautiful view from the beach which is very close to the property. Very responsive host when we had questions such as recommending a good restaurant not too far - CJ’s Beach House. We drove to Lynden and enjoyed the shops and art center. They had a good supply of games on hand and a large screen for viewing games and streaming movies.

Best vacation ever

The house was just perfect. My sister and I brought my mom back to see our family before she is not able to travel anymore. We chose this house because my mom always loved to watch the water and walk on the beach and watch the beautiful sunsets. She had the best time and the smile and laughing made it all worth it.

Family fun!

We loved spending low tide in the tidal pools and afterwards biking and exploring. The accommodation was beach casual and very comfortable. Our twin 15 year old and 12 year old were not bored for a minute. The water called to them every day, kayaking, exploring and even a scavenger hunt. Loved it

Bungalow on the Beach Birch Bay

Nice property, comfy rooms and beds, exquisite sunsets. Everything we needed to cook meals and enjoy the stay. One small problem with doorlock was quickly resolved. The deck is as wide as the house and sitting on the deck at high tide feels like youre on a boat with the waves lapping literally at and below your feet. Very satisfied overall.

Happy to finally get to the beach!We initially rented this place for my husband's birthday and to recover from a Stem Cell transplant for his Lymphoma. Unfortunately, all did not go as planned and he went home to the Lord much earlier than expected. It was a great place for the family to heal. Beautiful area and wonderful restaurants.Please go.
