Tiny home by the beach

Summary:
Enjoy beach life at Birch Bay! This tiny home is in a quiet neighborhood and perfect for two people. Wifi is suitable for remote work. Bring your small dog or cat. The tiny home is appointed with housekeeping necessities for a short or mid-term stay.

The Space:
We are off the main street a little way, and behind a big house, so it's quiet here. This unit is positioned along the creek with a row of other tiny homes.
Your tiny home has an all-wood interior and smells like wood inside. The queen bed is cozy for two and has a TV right above it. There's a fan attached to the wall for those who enjoy white noise and a breeze.
Bar height counters allows more space underneath for dishes and cooking supplies which are provided. Unit has microwave, fridge, two-burner cook top, toaster, rice cooker and air fryer.
The compartment for the shower and toilet is small, but, after all, it is a tiny home!
Your view is of the creek, directly from your porch and from the kitchen window. Enjoy watching the many birds and occasional sea otters.
Our clientele are mostly remote workers and vacationers in the summer months. We work and live here, and sometimes visit in the common spaces - but we do not have loud, busy gatherings. The vibe is quiet and friendly. You'll meet people and hang out if you want. Nearby restaurants and live music give you opportunities to expand your circle of friends.
Public beach access is across the street. We perch out there most nights to watch the sunset and take pics.
Shared coin-op laundry is in a little red building by the deck.
Ask if you want to borrow a bike.
Feel free to have packages, mail, and groceries delivered here.

Guest Access:
Park right next to your tiny home. A key will be provided upon arrival.

The Neighborhood:
Ours is a quiet neighborhood. Pets are welcome. We do request dogs to stay on leash since they will encounter one another on our property and when walking to the beach.

Birch bay is all about beach life: Strolling on the beach, kayaking, shell fish harvesting (in season) and going to the nearby restaurants. The food scene is small, but often includes live music. The beach side restaurants are about 2 miles north, where you'll also find a coffee shop with local arts and crafts for sale. Check online calendars for the many festivals throughout the year in Birch Bay, Blaine, and Semiahmoo For example, checkout the kite festival and the sand sculpture festival. We also enjoy old car shows, music, art, and food vendors.
