Birch Bay Beach Cabana - a tiny oasis close to everything at the Bay. Pets OK
Easy, Breezy & Carefree...small spaces make big smiles.
The Cabana is a short walk to the beach and a 10-minute drive to the US/Canada border. The location is convenient for everything this area has to offer. The space is simple, clean, and modern with amenities selected for your convenience. The unit features a 32" TV, electric fireplace, Keurig coffee maker, microwave, and a/c.
Please Note: while the Cabana does not have a washroom ensuite a full bathroom is just steps away in the main house. For some this is no problem as the washroom is close just not in the room. For others who get up to use the restroom at night this can be bothersome. We want you to enjoy your stay so please consider if this arrangement is right for you.
Spectacular views of the Bay, San Juan's & Vancouver Island are waiting for you on the back patio and the world-famous "C" Shoppe is just down the hill. Close to everything Birch Bay offers yet the Cabana is quiet, private, and secluded. A peekaboo view of the bay is available from inside the unit
The well-maintained grounds of the property are open to guests. You may use the back patio where you'll find a grill and fire pit. Sunsets and stargazing on the patio are a highlight.
We offer free bicycle rentals while staying with us. We also offer kayak and SUP rentals which are just $25/each per day including all your paddling gear and free drop off/pick up beachside. There's no better way to experience the bay than on the water and we make it easy. Just show up at the beach and leave the rest to us.
New in 2025! We can arrange for golf cart rentals during your stay. A clean, comfortable and FUN golf cart can be yours for the day or an evening to explore the area (Carts may only be driven in the Birch Bay Golf Cart Zone). These modern golf carts can carry 4, 6 or even 8 passengers. All are street legal and can be driven by anyone with a valid drivers license. It's one of the most fun ways to spend some time here. We bring the golf cart right to your doorstep and from there you are free to go explore, get a bite to eat, enjoy the state park or whatever sounds like fun. When you are done you can drop your cart right in front of the Cabana. Ask your host for more information on availability, cost or to book a Golf Cart during your stay!
Summer is filling up fast! Make your plans to come relax and unwind in beautiful Birch Bay. The sun is out and the Bay is busy with BBQ's, sandcastle building and old fashioned summertime fun. Enjoy the many community festivals, catch crab or dig for clams. Enjoy great food at a local restaurant or golf at one of our nearby award winning golf courses. Enjoy hiking, biking, or beachcombing. Visit a farmstand or try your luck at the Silver Reef Casino. Whatever you like to do there is something for everyone.
**PLEASE NOTE: While we do not charge any housekeeping fees there is a $35/stay fee for guests with pets (no additional charges for ADA-registered service animals per federal law). This covers dogs or cats (1 only - up to 50lbs) for up to a 5 night stay. Longer pet stays are accepted though additional charges may apply. Please contact us for details.
Please indicate if you are traveling with a pet on your reservation at the time of booking (or by changing your reservation after booking). We make adjustments to the property for guests traveling with pets essential to ensure safety and a pleasant stay for you and your pet.

The room and bed was clean. But the owners dog pooped in the shower one night and peed on the bathroom rug the next. It would also be nice if it mentioned the bathroom and shower was inside of the main house, not in the cabin.
We were very excited to stay here for a second time! Great price and quick walk to the beach. Sadly the sweet dog left us a poop in the shower. I sent the host a message hoping to get it cleaned up so we could use the shower but unfortunately we never got a response. Even after we checked out, we never even got an apology message or anything, which was very disappointing : (
My partner and I enjoyed this clean, well-decorated cabana. The shower was luxurious, the bed was soft, and host communications were thorough. A cozy space to spend a weekend in.
Nice place, clean, and I would rent again. Would’ve been nice to have a bathroom and running water in the unit instead of having to walking into the house.
John's cabana was just perfect. The location is well-situated to the beach, shopping, and food. The views are amazing from this location. The unit was clean and had everything I needed. I would only add some birch to the seashells. 😉
John is a very hospitable host and very kind. He gave great suggestions for places to eat that did not disappoint.
I would stay here again if I am ever up this way! Thank you, John!!
Everything was nice. The bed was very comfortable and room was supplied with everything as listed.
It was a little inconvenient to leave the room to go to the main house to use bathroom but it was close to the front door. The bathroom was ok for cleanliness and maybe because it was shared with those in the main house. There was a small amount of ants by the microwave and could be because of open sugar in the drawer below microwave. Otherwise overall it was quiet and comfortable, what I was looking for

NO BATHROOM! MUST GO OUTSIDE TO MAIN HOUSE!
We booked the cabana with good intentions to enjoy our short stay. The information regarding the property is misleading. See attached photos. After having dinner and walking our dog, we arrived around 7:30-8:00pm. I opened the door with the code provided. The small room was super cute, but to our amazement, there wasn't a bathroom or sink. We aren't going to get dressed just to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. The ad for the property showed a bathroom and it was listed as 1 bathroom. After not even stepping inside the cabana, we left in frustration. We were tired and disappointed that this information was not more prominently advertised. After we left I tried to message and call the owner without a response asking for a refund. . Only after not receiving a response, did I say that I didn't want to leave a poor review, hoping he would be understanding and refund our money. Well, here I am leaving a very poor review. We are too old to be getting dressed just to use the restroom.
The owner made the check-in process easy. I got to the property late in the evening and the check in was easy. The cabana was clean and comfortable. The bathroom is in the main house right as you enter the house. Overall a great stay.
I really had a nice time at the Cabana! John was attentive to questions and needs, and the Cabana was comfy and cozy! Definitely will be an option for me next time I'm back home
