Love this home!

We had a wonderful stay at this home. The host thought of everything, as there wasn’t anything we didn’t have. The kitchen comes fully equipped with all of the cookware, dishes and utensils needed to cook in. The beds were extra comfy, and the added bonus is the fully fenced backyard with two decks for relaxing! We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect home right on the border

This house was in the perfect location for us, as we were flying into Seattle and spending a day in Vancouver. We were able to cross the border easily in the morning without any issues. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The owner was very easy to communicate with and answered all questions promptly. I highly recommend!

A Quiet and Pleasant Break

This lovely house provided a very nice quiet break from the bustle of the city. Everything you might want for your stay is provided, even sharp knives and spices! The location is convenient to walking paths and restaurants.

Canadian Closeness

This was a beautiful property in a quiet neighborhood very near the Canadian border. Unfortunately, we were there for a funeral and didn't get to enjoy the two beautiful decks that were furnished on either side of the house. The house was well appointed , but we basically just slept there. We wished we'd had more time to enjoy it and the beautiful area.

Quiet stay off the coast.

My partner and I, along with four other family members, booked this home for a wedding weekend in Blaine. Before our arrival, Tori was incredibly communicative, providing clear instructions for check-in, details about the home, and house rules, making everything easy and stress-free. When we arrived, we were greeted by the peaceful serenity of the neighborhood and a spacious, well-maintained home, exactly as pictured. It was the perfect size for the six of us to enjoy a few relaxing days together. The kids loved the large, wrap-around backyard, while the adults took full advantage of the BBQ area and soaked in the calming sounds of nature. The location was ideal—a short five-minute walk to the beach and a scenic 20-minute stroll into town along Peace Portal Drive. Our stay was thoroughly enjoyable, and we highly recommend this spot for anyone seeking a quiet escape. We can’t wait to book this home again in the future.

Great stay lovely home--pride of ownership

We had a great stay. The house was very clean, directions were clear as what to do, empty garbage, recycle, etc. The home was exactly as shown in the pictures. The kitchen was stocked with so many extras--a full spice drawer with tons of spices (none of them were past the best buy date), games, two coffee pots, decaf coffee, etc. There was also some supplies probably left by otbers such as saran wrap, aluminum foil, that we could use. The kitchen also had lots of pots and pans. The neighborhood was very quiet. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

Lovely home- great location

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. Beds were comfortable and comfortable living room. A few issues :not enough toilet paper and the cleaners didn’t do a good job : unwiped counters, hair in the bath tub and Kleenex box left to look full but only 1 tissue in the box. But in saying all that we would stay here again. The location is an easy walk to town. The host was very communicative.
