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

We had a wonderful time, home had all the needs met. We walked and got coffee, ice cream. Dug clams just out front the home. So beautiful!!! Our puppy loved running on the beach and the kids searching for sea glass was so fun to watch.

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.
