Wonderful beach side retreat
Our 1 month stay at this Oceanside Retreat was amazing. Jayne was so responsive and wonderful to deal with from start to finish. The home was super cozy with cabin like vibes and was equipped with everything we needed over the stay. Looking out the window and seeing the Ocean right there was nothing short of amazing and those sunsets were stunning! We absolutely loved the Birch Bay community. We would absolutely love to come back and stay there again. Thanks so much for everything Jayne!

Wonderful property - great value
My wife and I stayed here for a long weekend with a trip into Vancouver for the day. It was clean and comfortable, and a fabulous value. The view onto the bay is spectacular. Easy access to the surrounding area, and an easy 90 minute drive to downtown Vancouver.
My only note is that if you stay during a cold month (we were in December), the heating was a little challenging. There is an in-wall heater in the bedroom and bathroom, and a gas fireplace in the living room. The in-wall heaters definitely struggled to keep the place warm when it was windy and in the 30's (F) outside.

Birch Bay Cool
The property is well-maintained and quite cozy. The location is perfect.- away from the main drag of Birch Bay but close to wherever you need to go. I would recommend this property for couples and singles alike.

Not the whole house, it's a "suite" but very nice
The listing said it was the whole house. It's not. It is one out of three suites. That being said it was very clean, quiet, had a full size kitchen with all appliances, lots of amenities, and a view. There were condiments, tea, shampoo, conditioner, etc. There's no air conditioning and it does get a little hot. You can't access the master bedroom without going through the first part of the bathroom which is strange. It was easy to park, had lots of outdoor entertaining areas, and had clear directions on everything. We would stay there again.
