Oceanside Retreat ~ Private Beach in Quaint Seaside Town

Set on a private beach property on the Bay with views of the Pacific Ocean, Oceanside Retreat is the perfect place to get-away in Birch Bay. Spend the day at the private beach out front, bring your paddle board or crabpots, have a bonfire, or take a day-trip up to Vancouver. An abundance of outdoor activities and close proximity to the State Park, waterslides, restaurants & bars. There is absolutely no smoking and no pets allowed on the property- maximum 4 guests. This is not the entire house, it’s the bottom floor of the house.

The surrounding neigborhood very good, easy location to explore from. We really appreciated the good working kitchen that to hosts had provided too, Great for small families and really enjoyed calling it home for a few days. Thanks for the all the attention you gave to both interior & out doors too.

Birch Bay Cool
The property is well-maintained and quite cozy. The location is perfect.- away from the main drag of Birch Bay but close to wherever you need to go. I would recommend this property for couples and singles alike.

Not the whole house, it's a "suite" but very nice
The listing said it was the whole house. It's not. It is one out of three suites. That being said it was very clean, quiet, had a full size kitchen with all appliances, lots of amenities, and a view. There were condiments, tea, shampoo, conditioner, etc. There's no air conditioning and it does get a little hot. You can't access the master bedroom without going through the first part of the bathroom which is strange. It was easy to park, had lots of outdoor entertaining areas, and had clear directions on everything. We would stay there again.
