Beachfront condo with indoor pool/hot tub
Great home! Has most of the things that you need and great views that you get from the main room/ loft! We would love to stay again in this place again! Hosts Jon and Marci also are highly communicative and have a good taste for elevated casual beach house decors! Well-kept home and liked their books, games + also well-equipped kitchen. The lower bedroom has its own loft like a cozy nook to sleep/ hang out. It is so cute! Amenities were almost like a hotel - only better! Highly recommend it! :)

Beachfront studio with lovely views, private patio
Beautiful suite, clean, tastefully decorated, and well stocked. It was a great value for the amazing location - we truly had a whole beach to ourselves! The owner provided great insight and suggestions, when asked about relocating to the area. I’ve already recommended the place to family members in the area for a close by getaway. I can honestly say this was the best Airbnb we have had to date. Thank you so much!

Studio: water views, balcony, near hiking trails
My partner and I enjoyed our stay! We had problems with the WiFi and the host was able to respond quickly and help us resolve the issue. For the inconvenience, they offered us a late checkout which was incredibly nice of them. The views from the room were phenomenal. The location is private and quiet. I definitely would plan to stay here again on my next trip to Orcas Island.

Comfortable Studio across the street from the beac
I had a peaceful night sleep The weather was not good during my stay too much rain But the cozy little studio apartment was fine .

Trails, rails, hikes and bikes!
The place is very comfortable with nice furnishings and clear of extra stuff. We enjoyed the view of the bay and downtown Bellingham. We walked to a local coffee shop, and there are other restaurants walkable. It is close to downtown and the bay, it’s pretty quiet but there is train noise and since it’s an attached ADU sometimes noise from people in the house. It does feel very private, has a private entrance and there is a nice fenced backyard, and easy off street parking. The space is clean and the kitchen is stocked with essentials. There is a convection/microwave and a cooktop, which worked great for us, but there is not a full size oven. The bathroom has heated floors and a nice over sized shower with 2 rain shower heads. The bed is soft and comfortable and there is plenty storage for clothes. Katrina is a great communicator responding quickly and answering questions. I highly recommend staying here when in Bellingham.

Stowaway Suite on the Lake
Great location on the lake. Enjoyed using the kayaks. The suite was spacious and clean. Would stay here again.

Semiahmoo C6 Oceanside Serenity Ground Level Condo
staying at this condo very much an amazingly beautiful place to relax and enjoy the water, nature and many birds. My only critiques would be to possibly get a new couch and gas fireplace; also if you’re tall, most of the furnishings were fairly low height. We would stay there again for sure.

Charming West Sound Studio Apartment
I always travel with my folding chair and enjoyed using it on the deck on this early spring visit. The bed linens and mattress made for a blissful sleep. Used the binoculars more than once and the toaster allowed me to enjoy my avocado toast for breakfast. No doubt about it, I'll be back.

Charming Lummi Bay Waterfront Beach House
We stayed here with a group of friends to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday (5 of us in total), and it was perfect. The place was exactly as advertised: clean, spacious, and well-equipped. Sim was friendly, responsive, and super helpful throughout our stay. The home had everything we were looking for: a large kitchen, an open-concept dining and living area, and stunning ocean views from every bedroom. We especially enjoyed the BBQ and fire pit, and with the ocean just steps away, we ended up going for a dip every day. Everything went smoothly and we had an amazing time. Highly recommend!

Waterfront Privacy, Pet-Friendly, Close to Trails
This home is clean, cozy, and quiet, but the views are what really set it apart. Truly gorgeous!

Lake Front Retreat at Cain Lake
Amazing lake view! Everything matched the photos and descriptions. Perfect for a weekend getaway.

Waterfront Luxury | The Perch at Birch Bay
Absolutely beautiful area!! If you're looking for a relaxing place on the water with an absolutely beautiful view...look no further! We (family of 4) visited from the East Coast...we checked out Vancouver and Seattle - both areas well within driving distance. But, once you arrive here....you won't want to leave or venture out too far away. We enjoyed all of the different animals we saw...felt like we had our own private viewing of the bald eagles. We definitely will consider visiting PNW in the future. We had a fantastic time!!

Private Hot Tub, Sauna & secluded beach access
Our family is local to the area but we just wanted an escape from our day to day routine. Ana’s home was exactly what we needed to recoup and reconnect as a family. It was winter but some of us still got to enjoy the lake, hot tub, and sauna. We decided to extend our stay by one night and Ana was extremely helpful in make the accommodations work. The home and location is beautiful and a place we are excited to plan another trip to hopefully in the very near future. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

The Lake House on Blue Canyon
Thoughtful, simple decor that let us feel at home and left ample room for out stuff. Firm memory foam queen bed upstairs; twin beds downstairs probably best left to children. Stunning views with loads of sun and sometimes serious glare inside due to no curtains. Bring slippers, tile floors are pretty cold. Kitchen was great - full marks on pots, utensils, dishes and open cupboard space. Grounds and dock were lovely such that we felt comfortable walking around barefoot. Area was quiet. East side of the lake seems way more chill than the west. Worth the extra drive time. Overall great place - would love to come back!

Gooseberry Getaway - Oceanfront!
We had a fantastic stay in Lummi. Quiet and cozy. Just what we were looking for in a place. Views of fishing boats going by and the sound of the waves on the shore. The home was clean and comfortable for us. Clear instructions for checkout. We planned around the lack of restaurants in the area, and it was no trouble. I would stay again without a doubt. Thank you for letting us use your home Marissa.

Sweet retreat 1-bedroom house close to beach
Right next to the Lummi Island ferry so easy to pop over and adventure there. Fairly spacious yard that is shared with the main house on the property, and can walk over to the water to enjoy some water views too.

Stone & Sky Villa
Beautiful condo with lots of room and great views. We all felt right at home.

Beautiful Beach Condo! Indoor Pool!*Pet Friendly*
Perfect little condo for our weekend getaway as a family of four plus our pup. Our kids (4 and 6) loved the bunk bed and access to the pool. The other room is a loft room so it’s a bit bright in the morning. The condo had great decor, and all the necessary items. It was a great home base for a couple nights!

Beach Retreat - Steps From Beach, Clubhouse Pool
Birch Bay is great, there home is excellent.

Upscale Waterfront Condo in Birch Bay
Kelli's place and hosting exceeded expectations. She was communicative, friendly, got clear instructions and quick responses to us, and checked in during our week stay to make sure we had what we needed. The place was super clean, warm, with several places to cozy up with our grandkids who came over for a visit; parking, entry, getting settled was easy. We could stare at the bay from the living room or the covered patio; going for beach walks was as easy as crossing the street. The comfortable bed and spacious closet suited us perfectly for our 7 night stay. It had all the kitchen accessories we needed for the week. An example of Kelli's superhosting: when we arrived, we noticed one lightbulb out in the bathroom, hardly an issue. I messaged her so she could fix it (even if she did so after we left, again, it was not a bother) - within an hour the bulb was replaced. We have stayed several places when visiting our kids in Blaine and none of them suited us as well as Kelli's place.

Beach Get Away
Above and beyond our expectations, attention to detail & made our visit so comfortable ! They were always present to our needs & felt at home! An excellent vaycay!! We give it a 5 plus stars!!!

Relaxing River Condo with WiFi, Pool & Hot Tub!
Kristine's place is the perfect condo to relax at after a long day up at Mt. Baker. We've rented several times and will keep coming back! Her place has many little extras that go a long way when traveling as a family - like plenty of clean and soft towels, extra soap, shampoo, laundry detergent and even complementary snacks! The cute decor and extra blankets help us feel right at home. We can't wait to come back!

Mountain Gem - One Bedroom Time Share Condo
Beautiful and serine location in one of the best places on earth.

Templin Haven
Leith's studio apartment is quiet, yet a walk around the corner from the main street. The views of the East Sound and surrounding landscape from the high up deck are beautiful. The interior is artfully well-appointed and equipped.
