About this property

Beach Condo with Gorgeous View of Birch Bay

Welcome! We invite you to enjoy the magic of Birch Bay - an aquatic summer paradise, next door to Vancouver, B. C., Seattle, and the cities of the Northwest. Over the decades, families and generations, of all ages have come to love this idyllic spot with its sheltered warm, shallow waters, and so many aquatic and recreational activities. Gather the kids, grandparents, and friends and join us for a fun filled, relaxing vacation that will linger in your memories for years.

Enjoy the views of the Bay and the Gulf and San Juan Islands, from our living room and front deck. The rear 'garden deck' is outdoor living at its best! Start the morning with coffee, the morning paper or breakfast. As the sun rises from the east, flowers, trees, and the greenery of the garden setting, come to light. At midday, lunch or snack with the sun overhead. Later, at happy hour, visit with friends, and family, and enjoy a cocktail or glass of wine before dinner or a BBQ. After dinner enjoy dessert, coffee, conversation, and the sunset as the sun slowly fades behind the mountains of Vancouver Island. An end to a perfect day! And, as our guests report, a perfect vacation!

This view unit occupies mid and top levels at the Jacob's Landing Complex. Architecturally designed, and spacious with nearly 1,000 square feet, it features high vaulted ceilings, with floor to ceiling windows and is decorated in a Mediterranean theme. Living room, kitchen, dining area, bathroom, washer/dryer, and bedroom plus front and rear decks, complete the layout on the main level. A second bedroom, adjacent bathroom with shower, and private sleeping loft complete the top level.

Meals prepared in Irene's fully equipped kitchen are guaranteed to satisfy the heartiest and most demanding appetites and extend the family budget as well. The large island bar facilitates food preparation and provides seating for four. An adjacent bar height dining table seats four. The pantry is stocked with staples; flour, sugar, tea, coffee, canola and olive oil, and a wide assortment of spices. Bon Apetit!

Our guests love the heated Olympic swimming pool, summer and winter alike. The racquet ball court and game room for ping pong and foosball, and the two tennis courts, add to their enjoyment. Our guests walk or bike from the front door to a scenic path following the perimeter of the bay. Golfers will discover two championship courses, within 5 minutes of the condo. And those seeking strenuous walking will find the trails of Mt. Baker and Mt. Shuksan, one hour to the east.

Because of its sheltered location, Birch Bay warm and shallow waters are perfectly safe for all ages. At low tides, children can explore the sand bars, hunting for clams and crabs, or building a sand castle or flying a kite. Birch Bay is also perfect for kayaking and boating, with a convenient boat launching ramp at Birch Bay State Park. And lastly, the area is classified as one of the most important birding areas and bird watching is a popular past- time. Watch for bald eagles.

Bed linens, towels, beach towels, and kitchen staples provided. Bring only groceries, and personal items. Our Birch Bay home has all the comforts, conveniences, and amenities of our own home, and we do not expect our guests to accept less.

Enjoy!
Irene

Cozy and comfortable

We needed a "home base" for our travels to Canada and Bellingham. This was the perfect place to rest and recoup after day trips. The condo had a great view of the bay, was well furnished with everything you could want or need, and the owner was very easy to contact.

Love Birch Bay

Our family has gone up to birch bay the past couple years. The perfect place for all ages. The condos location is PERFECT. Close to everything and the view is beautiful. We stayed in the same complex last year but Irene’s condo was so much better for our family with two showers instead of one, and the cute kids room was nice for the extra space for kids. The condo was well stocked and we will definitely be back!

Wonderful View and Location

Our hosts was easy to communicate with The stay was relaxing with beautiful views The neighbors were really nice Beds were very comfortable... This is a major bonus... Kitchen was very well stocked the little Hobbit bedroom off of the loft bedroom was cute, my daughter is petite and enjoyed that. I would suggest the host updating the photos online to capture the current set up of the condo since it does have some updates and newer furniture. :)

Our week end July 11-14

The condo is spacious and perfect for 4 adults. The only caviot is the sleeping arrangements unless their are 2 couples. The third bed is in a space with an extremely low ceiling that slants. This space is for children 3-10. Not for adults. The living room has a comfortable couch. We took the back cushions off of it and one of us slept there. Plenty of dishes and cooking supplies.

Birch Bay view and ocean breeze

This unit is well equipped with everything you might want or need in a family vacation condo. The proximity to the beach is perfect, even for one with mild mobility issues. Our 3 generation group enjoyed our stay very much. Irene is lovely to deal with, and has a very pleasant telephone manner. Your party won't be disappointed.

Condo Delivers!

We loved our stay here with 3 grandkids. We slept downstairs, and kids had the upper bed and cute mini-room with their own shower upstairs! Jack and Irene had everything in the kitchen we needed, including more than just the sparse typical spices we've encountered elsewhere. And we appreciated having some DVD's suitable for kids. We loved the location. Still have a view, but back far enough to not constantly hear the traffic. The kids want to go again next year.

beautiful condo, awesome view

I just finished staying at this property and it was great! The condo is beautifully decorated and the beds were comfortable. The condo was extremely well stocked with everything you would need for cooking as well as pool towels and linens. It is very clean and is well updated with amenities. I can truly say that nothing about this condo disappointed me. In fact, having stayed in many condos, this one exceeded my expectations! The loft is the second room with a queen and then a "Harry Potter" room with a double. The loft room was really nice and one of the kids liked sleeping in the extra cubby room. The mats provided by the owners are actually quite comfortable to sleep on. The owners were helpful with directions and having everything arranged for us. The view is just as pictured, right off of the back deck. This condo is in the first building unit, and so it truly was "beach front" and not hidden in the back. It is also within a short walking distance (less than a block or so) of a couple of restaurants and activity centers. It is about 2 miles from Birch Bay park along the frontage road, which made an absolutely awesome running route. My kids had fun at the beach and at the indoor pool. We didn't get a chance to do any of the local activities other than walking the beach. But one of the shop owners pointed out there was an eagle and nest that we hiked to. That was quite a sight. I would definitely recommend this condo to friends and family and I hope to stay in it again!

Peaceful beautiful beach location with pool access

Our family had a wonderful restful time with a 3 and 1 year old girls. The pool was great for a rainy day which we used twice. We came for the beach access and it was a short walk from the condo which was set back from the road. The beds and room are comfortable for 4 adults. The 2 kids enjoyed the small loft behind the loft bedroom. And we cooked many of our meals and the kitchen is well supply with all you need. I would recommend this property to any family

Everything we needed!

This was a beautiful location. Irene was great to work with and so responsive to our every little question. The apt. was immaculate. Just be alert that the third bed is really for little kids - cute, but not what we were expecting. Being so close to the beach was just lovely. Be sure to visit Birch Bay Park up the road! A really lovely area.

Weekend Getaway

This was a great location, and perfect for a short anniversary getaway. We were able to walk to a few restaurants/brewery, and just enjoy a view of the bay right from the living room. We did not use the amenities, but this would be a great spot for family with kids as well. We appreciated the kitchen pantry basics being available, and would definitely recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Irene Robinson

Host profile image
Originally from British Columbia, Jack and Irene have long enjoyed the recreational attractions of BC and Washington state. Irene's family moved to Southern California, which led to a banking career and a Vice-Presidency at a major bank. Jack's career in engineering, took him from Western to Eastern Canada and the US, where he completed his graduate education in Business Administration, and started a teaching career. Later, he returned to the west coast as a Professor of Management at the University of Southern California. They are car enthusiasts, students of history, and political science and enjoy frequent travel to Europe. San Diego is their California home, and Birch Bay their home in Cascadia. They invite you to share it with them.

Why they chose this property

Birch Bay is the hub of an incredibly attractive vacation area embracing lower British Columbia, Vancouver Island, the Olympic Peninsula, the Gulf and San Juan Islands, Whatcom County, the Cascades and Vancouver and Seattle two of the most attractive cities in North America. And easily accessible from most parts of North America through Bellingham, Vancouver, and Seattle International Airports.

Jack's introduction to Birch Bay was at age 2. Since then we have sailed and fished in the San Juan and Gulf Islands, skied at Mt. Baker, climbed Mr. Shuksan, and biked on Vancouver Island, the Fraser Valley, and Whatcom County. And a return each summer to enjoy blueberry, raspberry, blackberry picking and Salmon BBQ's is a highlight of each year. We love this part of the world and this is a return to our roots.
