Enjoy beautiful views, sunsets and peaceful times at the waterfront Blue Heron Cottage. From almost every room watch the sea recede to reveal large tide pools and swathes of sandy beach to explore. Spend the day on the beach, collecting shells, digging in the sand, clamming or sitting on the sand breathing in the sea air and soaking up the sun. Our contactless check in and professional hosting will provide you with a fantastic experience from booking right through the end of your stay. The decor has a beachy feel so even when you aren't squishing the sand between your toes, you still know you are at the beach. The two front bedrooms have comfortable queen beds where you can wake to the sound and view of the lapping waves. The sunsets from these west facing rooms are incredible; you will marvel at the variety and intensity. The living space has an open concept. The dining, kitchen and living area allow everyone to enjoy different activities while still being in each other's company. The massive window in the living room provides incredible views to the water, sunsets and Canada beyond. Step out the sliding glass door, to a large grassy yard with propane barbecue, and fire pit. Walk down the community path beside the house and there are miles of beach to explore. The yard has plenty of privacy and when you are in the cottage it feels like you are in a world of your own. We have a comfortable office chair, desk and good internet connectivity if you need to bring your work or school with you to the cottage. Swivel the chair and look out to the view when you need a break. This makes a great 'work from home,' option. Our casual beach environment encourages you to relax and truly allow yourself to enjoy life's little moments with friends and family. The space is ideal for couples, or a family getaway. Bring your canoe, kayak or row boat to put in on the beach below the cottage. The path is large enough to carry your boat and provisions to the water. Check the tides and weather, as conditions can change quickly in this area. Walk, bike or drive around Semiahmoo. There is a significant downhill to our property on a dead end street. It is short and there is a lovely trail from the Semiahmoo Spit through the center of the peninsula. The road around the peninsula is a nice drive with views of the water, Canada, Birch Bay and islands beyond. The towns of Birch Bay and Blaine are only a ten to fifteen minute drive and Bellingham is a short drive south. When the border is open it is only twenty minutes from the Cottage, and a visit to White Rock is worth it! As a professionally managed property you will receive top notch service and communication.
