Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Birch Bay

Beautiful and comfortable home, exactly what we were looking for. Wonderful living room for sitting and visiting, comfortable and spacious. Kitchen is well equipped and a pleasure to cook in. Beds super comfortable.

We really enjoyed our vacation at Michele’s! It was the perfect spot for us with kiddos. The back yard was lovely and we enjoyed every afternoon/evening out there in the beautiful weather. It was fun to see the baby geese and otters in the canal as well. We enjoyed how close it was to the beach! We would absolutely stay here again.

If you’re visiting Bellingham or are looking for a relaxing getaway with family, this is the place. Very comfortable home with a beautiful view. Everything was clean and the beds were comfortable. It wasn’t far from good restaurants and activities. We liked the outdoor lights and fire pit. While we didn’t sit outside, it looked inviting. We’d stay there again!

We stayed here for a week while waiting for our household goods to arrive after a cross-country move, and it was exactly what we needed. The house was clean, spacious, and had more than enough room for our family of six to spread out and settle in for a bit. Communication with Marcellus was great throughout, and he was super accommodating when we needed to extend our stay by a day on short notice. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a comfortable and well-managed place in Birch Bay.

What an amazing home!! We loved the cottage decor with all the little nooks to hang out, books and games, telescope, cozy blankets. The views from the living room and patio were spectacular. We spent our mornings watching hundreds of herons fishing in the low tide! Walking down the beach to the southern point was so quiet and peaceful. Then ending our nights back out on the patio with a fire - such a relaxing time. Dawn’s home was also so great for our pup. He loved basking in the sun on the patio and exploring the water just steps away. Driving the short loop toward the ferry is well worth the amazing view of Mt Baker, and we enjoyed a little ferry trip to Lummi island, although the cottage is so comfortable and relaxing, we would have been happy not leaving at all during the day too!

This was an excellent stay for my fiance and I. Kim's house was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a long-term stay. The kitchen was very well stocked, with a brand new dishwasher and oven. The bedrooms were very cozy, with extremely comfortable mattresses and sheets. The bathroom was also very clean, with lots of storage space for toiletries and things. The neighborhood was something special, too. its a gated community with a very peaceful feel to it. Several walkable parks, one of which we went to nearly every day we were there to watch the sunset over the bay. The people here are friendly and welcoming. Finally, the property manager, Shirley, was a real gem. She was so thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely kind to us during our stay. She works hard to make sure the yard is kept up with, issues are resolved, and overall cares for the comfort of the guests. This is a 5 star Abnb that I wish I could have stayed at for longer. Dont hesitate to book!

2nd time at this home. The home has just the right amount of space for my family of 6. The backyard is large and provides ample space for my kids to run around. There’s a wonderful view on the deck of Mt Baker and the bay. Highly recommend this home.

Absolutely lovely stay at Linda and Don’s beach home in Birch Bay! It was so well stocked and provisioned and Linda and Don were incredibly friendly and responsive. They also had little handmade items around which they offered for us to take as gifts and souvenirs which were so cute and thoughtful! We had an amazing time and would absolutely stay again :)

My parents had another amazing stay at Kay's place. It is comfy and very homey. They also enjoyed sitting in the shade while watching the Farmer's Day Parade.

David was a great host! His communication was prompt and helpful throughout my stay. The location truly can’t be beat — right in the heart of Fairhaven, where you can easily walk to shops, restaurants, and the waterfront. It’s the perfect spot for anyone wanting to explore the charm of Fairhaven, and it’s only a short drive to downtown Bellingham. David’s apartment is beautiful, clean, and well-equipped, making it a comfortable and relaxing home base. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to take advantage of all that this area has to offer! Thank you kindly, David, for the stay!

I can’t recommend Emma’s beautiful stay enough! The studio is beautiful and had everything I needed for my stay. The property is peaceful and even though there were other guests staying on the property, my apartment felt private and I didn’t hear a peep. The bed is super cozy, too! I’ll definitely stay here the next time I’m in the area.

Lara and Casey were very accommodating as we stayed in their apartment for over a month. The place is beautiful and located in a very peaceful and relaxing part of town. It has everything you need for an extended stay in Bellingham, and they were super helpful and lovely hosts!

Ann Marie was Very welcoming. Recommended places to eat. Great communicator. Salt of the earth! Kind!😊

Such a cute place. It has an open layout and very clean and in a great area. Nice view of the water and walkable. It was nicely stocked and homey. Yes you can heat the trains but it didn’t bother us. We use a sound machine at night. I would stay here again.

Great host. Beautiful view and lovely gardens and wildlife. Great streaming choices. Extremely friendly and helpful

This was my second time staying at Adam's studio. Location can't be beat! The studio is just as described. Very comfortable and very well equipped, close to everything I needed. Felt just like home!

This place lives up to its name, Hidden Gem. With the shrubs and bushes around the property and the terrace give total privacy as well as the beautiful sounds of birds and the odd passing squirrels and deer. Even being above quite a busy street, it is peaceful and relaxing. The apartment is really comfortable and has everything we needed for the 10 days we stayed. The proximity to town as well as some lovely nature walks and easy access to the walk along the Boulevard is wonderful.

This condo is beautifully decorated with a seaside decor. I enjoyed the little garden with flowers next to the patio while looking beyond at the bay. The kitchen is well-stocked with dishes, pots and pans, glasses, etc. I shopped at The Market in Birch Bay Square and cooked most of the time. We did go up the Blaine to Jack Niemann’s Black Forest Steak House for dinner one evening, and it was delicious. There is a wonderful walkway all along the bay just across the street from the condo. We had a very relaxing stay in a beautiful place.

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.

We had a wonderful stay! Super clean, easy access to downtown Friday Harbor. Highly recommend!

This was a really, really great find and stay. Dawn, the property manager, was incredibly responsive and helpful - our only issue was someone who parked in our designated spot, which Dawn sorted out within minutes. Lars' condo is beautiful and well appointed, with many thoughtful touches including coffee and toiletries. One downside on hot days in the absence of air conditioning, however the unit has plenty of high powered fans to help. I would absolutely stay at Lars' place again. Thanks Dawn and Lars!

Katie was a very great and responsive host. We are actually able to get in there a little earlier than expected and we appreciated that. I would stay here again in a heartbeat the next time I am visiting the San Juan Islands. The place was private and yet close to town. There was a great rock covered in moss. That was a perfect meditation spot for me in the early morning. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The kitchen was above and beyond! It exceeded my expectations.

What a great location, beautiful, comfortable space. Loved the steam shower. We'll be back.

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.
