Beautiful setting
The location is lovely. The house was very comfortable for our family get together. The only downside was the furnace is really noisy and goes on and off all through the night. This was a big problem as the master bedroom is right next to the room with the furnace and it was impossible to get a good nights sleep. You would just get to sleep and suddenly the furnace came on very loudly. It stayed on for about 10-15 mins and then you’d just go to sleep again and it would start up snd wake us up. This was really a shame because we didn’t have a good sleep during our 3 night stay.

Great New Years!
We had a great time. The house was perfect for our needs. Kind of wish there was cable but we were able to work with the Roku to watch all the football games!

Great location, grew up on the beach, so to celebrate my mom was a wonderful, memorable tribute to her. Thank-you for allowing us in early.

Thank you for your nice comments. The property is definitely a birch bay beach property. I will remind the housekeepers know to check the dishes as sometimes the dishwashers do not get them clean and clients put them away and we forget to check so thanks for the reminder.

Great Mini Vacay at Birch Bay
We had a great stay. The house was very clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Beds were comfy! Prior to the stay, Rosemary was very quick to respond to questions and the check in was so easy. I would definitely recommend this place!

Perfect Birch Bay Stay
We booked the house to stay for the last weekend for summer crabbing season in Brich bay. The house was clean and comfortable for six adults . The owner/manager quickly responded to my emails. Nice deck with beach views. One very minor downside, the driveway is a little tight for two trucks and a boat on a trailer. I would 100% rent again for another Birch Bay crabbing trip.

Just what I needed. Only two comments. For the rental price, internet should be included. My grandaughter is just starting college and really needed the internet. Air conditioning would have been super. Otherwise, thank you!

Great location across from the beach, roomy and clean. Although I didn’t read closely enough to realize there wasn’t internet or cable TV, I didn’t care about the TV, but internet is absolutely necessary. Can’t stay here again next season without internet. Sorry. Jim

We stayed for a couples weekend to crab and relax. There was 3 couples with enough room for us all. Beautiful location about a 20 minute walk to the restaurants. The place has a great deck right across the street from the beach, it also had private beach area. We will be renting again for our crabbing weekend next year.

Great large beach house
The house has a nice private beach and is very well stocked with everything you need. My only complaint is the the floor was very sticky and really filthy dirty. I washed it with the mop supplied & it was still dirty.

The place is great. Late check in and early check out makes a weekend a very short stay.
The place was great. Took a while to find the actual TV remote., but fine other than that. Check in at 4 PM on Friday and checkout at 11:00 AM on Sunday however makes for a short stay on a weekend, in a house, where food etc must also be packed in and out. Not sure I would make that choice again for a weekend.

Great for a beach getaway!
We loved this place. The location was great and with the private beach access we were able to get to the beach quickly. It wasn't as windy as the ocean beaches we have stayed at before and we were able to do a fire on multiple nights. The kitchen was well equipped for the meals we had planned. I would definitely stay here again!

I am so sorry about the hot tub not being at the property. With COVID we removed it and will return it when we can. I have made changes in the amenities. I had forgot to do that so thank you for reminding me.

Awesome getaway, everything was perfect, only thing we could have used was an umbrella on the deck!
It was a very smooth check in process, could have used some screens on the windows, and maybe some more fans! An umbrella on the deck, otherwise it was a perfect house! Thank you!!

Great family beach house!
We were pleasantly surprised by this house. The price is so reasonable we kind of expected something to be wrong haha. The house is spacious and clean with across the street beach access. Basic Vrbo amenities with lots of clean towels - important for families! Our only struggles were lack of screens on the windows and some rickety furniture. Everything else was very nice and made our stay quite pleasant. (Note this house sleeps 6, not 8 although a queen size air mattress fit nicely in the living room for extra sleeping space)

Sachin G., Bothell, USA

good location but very poor amenities
Location of the house is really good, right across the water, but beach is dirty. Home itself is cozy, but doesn't have good amenities. We called in around noon the day we were suppose to check in to get the lock passcode and wifi and been told home will open and wifi password is on check-in sheet on dining table. Upon arriving, this late december, home is freezing cold, we had to crank up the heat and it took 3 hrs to get it warm. Wifi never work and we have been told that listing doesn't say wi-fi, but listing doesn't explicitly called out saying NO wi-fi in home. If wi-fi was not available why the property management manager said wifi is available and password is on check-in sheet. Furniture in the home is very old. Almost torn sofa, broken dining room chair. This home has VHS player. in year 2018 who has VHS cassettes? No cable either. Check-in sheet said pantry is full and guest can fix a light snacks or gourmet meal. But pantry was locked and only thing available was salt and pepper. I am not a expert cook, but how can one fix the gourmet meal with only salt and pepper? Lesson learned: Next Do not rent a house which doesn't have any reviews and call in to check for the amenities before making a reservations. Thank You!

I am so sorry your stay was not as expected and I thank you for bringing it to our attention via the review. Birch Bay has experienced many storms this season and the beaches are not cleared yet. Another storm due today. As stated in the description there is no wifi (only July and August) but the neighbor allows the guest to use their wifi when they are at their cabin, which is why we put the password on the check in packet just in case they are there. I can see how this can be confusing so will make the change. Yes, we have a VHS and a DVD player right next to it. There is a fully equipped kitchen not pantry as stated in description. Wa. State Transient Accommodation Laws frowns on leaving food due to cross contamination. If you would like to email me direct, I will be happy to work together to see if there is something we can do to make this up to you.
