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).

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.

May 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Colleen T. Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Christine R. May 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### May Stay Everything was nice. The bed was very comfortable and room was supplied with everything as listed. It was a little inconvenient to leave the room to go to the main house to use bathroom but it was close to the front door. The bathroom was ok for cleanliness and maybe because it was shared with those in the main house. There was a small amount of ants by the microwave and could be because of open sugar in the drawer below microwave. Otherwise overall it was quiet and comfortable, what I was looking for ##### Christine R. Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Lori C. Apr 19, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Don't stay here This property is very misrepresented. There is no water at all in the place. The bathroom is shared with the male homeowner. His dog is "grumpy", his words. And after investigating more reviews has actually bit a guest twice. There are no views like it says. DO NOT stay here. ##### Lori C. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ashtyn A. Dec 24, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Ashtyn A. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Meredith G. Jun 12, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### DO NOT STAY HERE I have never had such an awful experience as I did with this property, and I will never book through VRBO again now that I have experienced what passes for customer support with them. The listing does not make clear that there is NO bathroom, or even a sink, in the guest room. The room could actually be described as more of a shed, and certainly not a "cabana." The bathroom is in the main house next to the shed. The host (John) sent a message through VRBO with the code to get into the main house, but none of my attempts to use it when I arrived were successful, so I had no access to the bathroom. I got to the property at 9:30pm, and when I couldn't get into the house, I attempted to contact John first through VRBO messaging, then by texting his direct number, then by calling his direct number, and then by ringing the doorbell on the main house. I received no response that evening. In the morning I knocked on the door and was let in by some person who wasn't the host, and when I explained that the code wasn't working, she said she had trouble with it the previous night as well. After twelve hours had passed with no response whatsoever from John, I contacted VRBO customer support. They did absolutely nothing to help me. I am shocked and infuriated at the treatment I received from both the host and VRBO. They clearly have no interest in seeking accountability from the people who list on their platform. ##### Meredith G. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Mark G.

John was attentive to questions and needs, and the Cabana was comfy and cozy! Definitely will be an option for me next time I'm back home ##### Mark G.

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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels.d178276.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Stony Plain Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Stony-Plain-Inn-And-Suites.h194474.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Grand Mound](https://www.expedia.ca/Centralia-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Grand-Mound.h2019706.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake Whatcom Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Lake-Whatcom-Waterfront-Cabin.h33489657.Hotel-Information) > > [Mountainview Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Olds-Hotels-Mountainview-Inn-Suites.h5932187.Hotel-Information) > > [7 Cedars Hotel & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Sequim-Hotels-7-Cedars.h42589298.Hotel-Information) > > [Anaheim Marriott Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Anaheim-Marriott-Hotel.h12035.Hotel-Information) > > [Roche Harbor Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Friday-Harbor-Hotels-Roche-Harbor-Resort.h16604230.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels.d6023515.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Halifax](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d602873-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Motels New Westminster](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Westminster-Motels.d10551-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Mirage Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-The-Mirage-Hotel-Casino.h15575.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Calgary South](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Calgary-South.h4453.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yvr/edmonton-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Hamilton (YHM) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhm/yvr/hamilton-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Narita (NRT) to Sepang (KUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/nrt/kul/tokyo-to-kuala-lumpur) > > [Flights from Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/178314/flights-from-toronto) > > [Plus Ultra Lineas Aereas S.
