About this house rental
Escape to Blue Heron Beach Cottage, a cozy, pet-friendly retreat just a 60-second walk to miles of sand in beautiful Birch Bay. This charming cottage sleeps up to six and is perfect for couples, families, or small groups. Enjoy a private, fully fenced garden with BBQ and fire pit, unwind by the fireplace, or stroll to nearby Birch Bay State Park. Comfort, charm, and the beach just outside your door....as well as the infamous C Shop to get your ice cream and candy fix on! Whether you’re here for quiet mornings, sunset walks, or quality time with loved ones (including your pup), this is a place to truly slow down. Come as you are and leave feeling refreshed.
We've thoughtfully designed this space to be the perfect retreat for 2-3 couples or a small group of friends and family. We have been visiting short-term rentals and VRBOs for more than 25 years and have curated our sweet cottage specifically to be the home away from home you (and your pup) craves. We've thought of the details we've always wanted when traveling. We know you'll love getting away to Birch Bay and calling Blue Heron home while you're visiting.
We welcome up to two well-behaved 50 lb canine companions at Blue Heron. We have three fully-fenced areas designed for their comfort and your peace of mind!

Cute beach house. Nicely decorated fully stocked kitchen, everything you could ask for and more. Never been in a vacation rental that had so much kitchen stuff available, worked perfect for me because I do like to cook! Also dog friendly house our Oliver was in heaven!!

This house has it all: Location, well-appointed kitchen, comfy beds, beach supplies, and dog supplies (the Poop Deck should be trademarked!). The outside spaces were as nice as the interior. One of us worked remotely from the house, so all is well even if you cannot fully unplug. Due to the convenient location and laid-back town, we walked to dinner in town and combed the beach (awesome sand dollar colony!). I took side-trips to Ferndale/Tennant Lake, Bellingham, and Mt. Baker, but one could easily fill a weekend or full week in Birch Bay.

My wife and brother-in-law spent childhood summers in Birch Bay and we knew spending time here together would be a wonderful way to relax and unwind. The Blue Heron home exceeded our expectations in every way possible--we have stayed at many vacation rentals and B n B's over the years and this is definitely one of our new favorites. It felt like it was our house, as if we lived there...meaning we felt 100% at home. The owners have taken every step to create an inviting, comfortable, peaceful and functional space to enjoy. You can tell they put a great deal of thought into every nook and cranny. Their love and consideration for their home and guests made it easy to just simply "be" and lean into our stay. Things we appreciated: close to shopping and beach recreation rentals close to state park, a few minutes walk to the bay (if that), quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors, beautiful home and gardens, fenced and private yard, well stocked kitchen, grill and supplies, very comfortable beds (we all slept like babies and logs!), thoughtful welcome package, great water pressure in showers and immediate hot water), garage to store our bicycles for easy access, lamps throughout the home for that lovely cozy glow, a charging station for your devices, the list goes on. We didn't have a dog to bring with us but if we had, we can tell they would have been living their best vaca life here as well! Thanks so very much, we can't wait to return.
