2 Bedroom Condo in Birch Bay, Blaine

Starfish is a lovely 2 bedroom/ 1 bathroom condo that feels like a cottage. Fully furnished with luxury linens and all the comforts of home. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to take advantage of our many farm to table markets. Barleans Fishery and Pleasant Valley Cheese Farm are just a few miles away. Not your average vacation rental. Leather furniture in the living room paired with beach rattan furniture in the study make for a sophisticated feel. A desk in the study provides a scenic view while working in this home away from home. The bathroom has a rain shower head and luxury bath linens. The bedroom has 2 closets, queen bed with luxury linens and a view of Terrell Creek and all the wildlife. While the back deck overlooks Terrell Creek for your morning coffee and sun, the front deck offers a sunset ocean view for your afternoon wine and people watching along Birch Bay Drive. Ideally located just steps from the beach.
Terrell Creek rises and falls with the tides and is home to many ducks, birds and the occasional otter. Birch Bay State Park is 1/4 mile away and easily accessible by walking.
Starfish is one of only 8 condos ideally located in charming Birch Bay. Birch Bay itself is a protected half moon bay with a gently sloping beach. There are not many places which boast a beach that, at low tide, has more than 1/2 mile of warm water wading, ideal for clamming and beach combing . World famous sunsets are the perfect setting for evening bonfires on the beach.
Enjoy the local flavor all within walking distance. Around the corner is the C-Shop with ice cream, homemade chocolates and pizza and nearby is the Bayside Cafe for lattes and quick sandwiches. Further down the beach there are many restaurants, live entertainment venues and Bay Center, a well-stocked convenience store.
There are hiking trails abound through the State Park, Point Whitehorn Preserve and many other nearby locations.
It is a short drive to local attractions: Drayton Harbour Oyster farm and brew pub, golf, spa, water-slides, miniature golf, go-cart track, hiking, restaurants, bars, the cannery museum, wine tours, local cheese and berry farms. There are many antique shops all throughout Whatcom County as well.
We are surrounded by many charming small towns, Blaine, Ferndale, and Lynden. Bellingham is a larger city 25 minutes away featuring brew pubs, wineries, historic Fairhaven, Alaska Ferry Terminal, Amtrak station and marinas. We have so many things to offer, we can't begin to list them all.
Located in the heart of Birch Bay, this ideal cottage is the perfect home base for your Whatcom County adventures.

Summary: I felt right home in this cute cottage that did not miss a thing, making my stay comfortable and enjoyable. I was in there for a month and did not notice how days passed. I wiĺl definitely come back again!Bianca

Lisa N. Oct 17, 2023 05:22:16 PM

Summary: We were seeking accommodation for a month- Starfish provided us with everything we needed- comfort, ease of access, every possible household item, a very comfy bed, big fluffy towels and a wonderful welcome basket that even included a treat for our cat. Our host was always accessible and quick to respond. The location is perfect- a short walk along the beach to several restaurants, a state park, with easy access to Bellingham or Vancouver. In a word, Starfish is wonderful.

Summary: Could walk to bay& restaurants. Owner very responsive

Mary H. Jul 13, 2022 11:38:56 PM

Summary: The property was just what we needed for a month long stay and the owner was wonderful to work with. We enjoyed exploring the small towns in the area and having time with family. We like to walk and found several places nearby, but major hiking was a bit of a drive.

Angela B. Dec 10, 2021 02:04:07 AM

Summary: The cottage was beyond my expectations and Ginger, the host, was so friendly and accommodating. I was instantly feeling right at home!

Lakshmi K. Oct 12, 2021 02:03:01 PM

Summary: We stayed at the Starfish for a month (along with our dog) and it was a delightful experience all around! prompt and courteous communication, well stocked home, fantastic location - lots of places to explore with the dog. The internet speed was fast for all our work needs and streaming. We would definitely come back! Strongly recommend for those considering long term stay.

Summary: My husband and I stayed in Ginger’s lovely Starfish home for about a month and really enjoyed our time. We worked from home full time and loved taking breaks to walk across the street to the beach or even just looking at the water from the front window. The internet was very fast and reliable for two people on frequent video calls. It was a joy monitoring the creek in the backyard, with almost daily encounters with precious otters, a heron, bald eagles and a belted kingfisher! The state park beach is down the street and a wonderful place to hang out. Ginger made my husband’s trip by arranging golf at the beautiful country club. The house is very clean and while “luxury linens” is a term frequently used on this app, it is truly the case here. Ginger has stocked the house very generously and makes you feel very at home. She is completely available, but not invasive and a lovely person all around. We loved going to local farms and picking berries and buying our food there. The only aspect that was less than perfect was the street noise during the day. But the windows are very soundproof, so it’s absolutely not an issue if doors and windows are closed. We loved our time in Birch Bay and are thrilled we found the Starfish to call home for a month.

Summary: My fiancé and our dog loved our 3 month stay at starfish with ginger! The space was perfect for us and everything we could possibly need was provided. Ginger has really thought of everything to make a longer stay comfortable and feel like home. Her communication was outstanding. She was prompt and solved any issue, which was very few, quickly and efficiently. Being across the street from the bay was our favorite part. Beach access for fetch when the tide was low was our dogs favorite part. Walking through the town while the sun was setting made for such a relaxing and beautiful evening every night. Thank you Ginger! We will miss our temporary home in Birch Bay!
