Vacation cabin on the Bay
The little house was worn but not dilapidated. It was very clean and perfect for a beach house. The setting was quiet (winter) and beautiful with Birch Bay in front and mountains behind.

Best ocean view stay
The cottage is nice and clean. I opened the door and there was the ocean through the windows! I enjoyed the beautiful sunset right at the deck , which is filled with teak patio furniture. The kitchen is fully supplied with everything I need to cook meals. What a relaxing get-away weekend!

Run down home, grimy throughout, owners trying to sell a tear down while renting to you for view
The mattress in master bedroom was comfortable, the view beautiful, tide goes way out so half of day your view is of mud flats not sea. The local Vacasa supervisor responsive.

Beautiful place!
Very clean and quiet. Right on the ocean. Had a wonderful time there.
Pros: beautiful views, right on the water, close to Birch Bay State Park, well-stocked kitchen, ample parking, clean.
Cons: strong musty smell, old/loose carpets, couches with broken springs, loose shower fixtures, non-working fireplace and no outside firepit, tight banquet dining table would be difficult for a group or family.

Housekeeping has done a good job, but there is just so much you can do with tired/old. Rug needs to be replaced. Smelled of mold and old.
