Birch Bay Beach Cabana - a tiny oasis close to everything at the Bay. Pets OK

Easy, Breezy & Carefree...small spaces make big smiles.

The Cabana is a short walk to the beach and a 10-minute drive to the US/Canada border. The location is convenient for everything this area has to offer. The space is simple, clean, and modern with amenities selected for your convenience. The unit features a 32" TV, electric fireplace, Keurig coffee maker, microwave, and a/c.

Please Note: while the Cabana does not have a washroom ensuite a full bathroom is just steps away in the main house. For some this is no problem as the washroom is close just not in the room. For others who get up to use the restroom at night this can be bothersome. We want you to enjoy your stay so please consider if this arrangement is right for you.

Spectacular views of the Bay, San Juan's & Vancouver Island are waiting for you on the back patio and the world-famous "C" Shoppe is just down the hill. Close to everything Birch Bay offers yet the Cabana is quiet, private, and secluded. A peekaboo view of the bay is available from inside the unit

The well-maintained grounds of the property are open to guests. You may use the back patio where you'll find a grill and fire pit. Sunsets and stargazing on the patio are a highlight.

We offer free bicycle rentals while staying with us. We also offer kayak and SUP rentals which are just $25/each per day including all your paddling gear and free drop off/pick up beachside. There's no better way to experience the bay than on the water and we make it easy. Just show up at the beach and leave the rest to us.

New in 2025! We can arrange for golf cart rentals during your stay. A clean, comfortable and FUN golf cart can be yours for the day or an evening to explore the area (Carts may only be driven in the Birch Bay Golf Cart Zone). These modern golf carts can carry 4, 6 or even 8 passengers. All are street legal and can be driven by anyone with a valid drivers license. It's one of the most fun ways to spend some time here. We bring the golf cart right to your doorstep and from there you are free to go explore, get a bite to eat, enjoy the state park or whatever sounds like fun. When you are done you can drop your cart right in front of the Cabana. Ask your host for more information on availability, cost or to book a Golf Cart during your stay!

Summer is filling up fast! Make your plans to come relax and unwind in beautiful Birch Bay. The sun is out and the Bay is busy with BBQ's, sandcastle building and old fashioned summertime fun. Enjoy the many community festivals, catch crab or dig for clams. Enjoy great food at a local restaurant or golf at one of our nearby award winning golf courses. Enjoy hiking, biking, or beachcombing. Visit a farmstand or try your luck at the Silver Reef Casino. Whatever you like to do there is something for everyone.

**PLEASE NOTE: While we do not charge any housekeeping fees there is a $35/stay fee for guests with pets (no additional charges for ADA-registered service animals per federal law). This covers dogs or cats (1 only - up to 50lbs) for up to a 5 night stay. Longer pet stays are accepted though additional charges may apply. Please contact us for details.

Please indicate if you are traveling with a pet on your reservation at the time of booking (or by changing your reservation after booking). We make adjustments to the property for guests traveling with pets essential to ensure safety and a pleasant stay for you and your pet. If we are unaware of you bringing a pet it can cause a delay with check-in or not being able to accommodate your pet altogether so please let us know in advance.

Cabana

I didn't mind the separate bathroom in the main house. The little dog is the best part.i didnt find access to the the back patio. I had to go over a bench to see the koi pond. Then a big raccoon came out from behind a the fence.The evening was loud with fireworks. Then at midnight the owner got into his very loud truck and drove somewhere. I barely got any sleep. There is barely a view of the ocean from where you will stay. You have no outdoor space. Also, the owner should include a mirror and a box of tissue.I left first thing in the morning. I wouldn't have come back even if i could.

NO BATHROOM! MUST GO OUTSIDE TO MAIN HOUSE!

We booked the cabana with good intentions to enjoy our short stay. The information regarding the property is misleading. See attached photos. After having dinner and walking our dog, we arrived around 7:30-8:00pm. I opened the door with the code provided. The small room was super cute, but to our amazement, there wasn't a bathroom or sink. We aren't going to get dressed just to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. The ad for the property showed a bathroom and it was listed as 1 bathroom. After not even stepping inside the cabana, we left in frustration. We were tired and disappointed that this information was not more prominently advertised. After we left I tried to message and call the owner without a response asking for a refund. . Only after not receiving a response, did I say that I didn't want to leave a poor review, hoping he would be understanding and refund our money. Well, here I am leaving a very poor review. We are too old to be getting dressed just to use the restroom.

Don’t

We arrived around 9pm and immediately had problems. We realized the bathroom was in the main house, which was not clear in the listing, and we would not have booked, being two girls. The door to the room is unlocked by a key code, with no deadbolt inside, meaning anyone with the code could walk in at any point. We had issues with the heater not working, and needing extra towels so we messaged the host as listed. The host claims they are reachable until 11pm but there was no response. We didn’t mind since it was close to 10pm, but there was no response in the morning. Another issue arose when we went to shower in the morning. We went in together for safety, but one of us went back to the room to grab something. As the door was shut, with the shower running as someone was showing, the door opened, then quickly closed. It was not one of us who opened the door, but someone else in the house. The host lists that no one uses that bathroom anyway. The door was SHUT with the shower running and the host clearly opened the door and said nothing. During this, there was still no response to previous messages. Next, we received a message regarding there being liquid in the drive way, assuming that it was a bunch of oil. The host suggested parking on cardboard or not in the driveway at all. There was no liquid on the driveway when we arrived. But there was still no response to previous messages. If you are looking to stay here, as two females, don’t.

Escape to a Cabana

John's cabana was just perfect. The location is well-situated to the beach, shopping, and food. The views are amazing from this location. The unit was clean and had everything I needed. I would only add some birch to the seashells. 😉 John is a very hospitable host and very kind. He gave great suggestions for places to eat that did not disappoint. I would stay here again if I am ever up this way! Thank you, John!!
