Such a beautiful property in a spectacular location, right on Birch Bay. The deck was amazing. I barely left the place it was so cozy and relaxing. The perfect place to unwind–thank you!
We had a great time. Birch bay is nice but other than beach activities not much else to do. We had good food in all the restaurants.
Definitely would recommend this property.
Really enjoyed this location and check in was very easy and communication with Sean was simple and response time was quick. Loved the turntable and the albums that we could listen to, that was a great touch. Loved the area and the town was great and spend an evening at the Beach Cat Brewing.
