Christmas stay
This property was perfect for our family to celebrate a late Christmas. Lots of space and nice location, easy to access. Dog park a close walk away. Had a few small issues to contact the manager and each time she was very responsive. We did have to spend 21 for batteries for the chirping smoke alarm with no reimbursement. Great location, great house , would highly recommend it. We will definitely be back in the summertime!

Best Bellingham EVER!
Everything about this place was awesome… Contacting the property manager for things that we needed was very easy and Nicole was super quick to respond and she accommodated everything that we needed.
I can’t stress enough how great this area was. We visit Bellingham often because we have family and friends up here and I will book this rental every single time moving forward! We have states some very nice places in sudden Valley and the fact that this one is also pet friendly, was the icing on the cake! the house is over 5000 ft.² so plenty of room to spread out and have some quiet time if you need it.
I don’t wanna review this because I hope it’s not booked in the future! But, this place is amazing!
Thank you for everything, Nicole!

Wedding visit
unaware of no A/C----from Texas--have never rented a place without A/C---need to leave instructions on closing house before leaving after night and morning cool down. Had one very hot day when we came back to house and we left it open and it got very hot. Stated ice maker that was not working---2 ice trays hard to keep up with 8 people

Lake Whatcom FAMILY reunion
We are "locals", in fact my daughter is a firefighter for S Whatcom. The house we originally booked was damaged and we were notified but the email was incorrect. I never heard from the property manager. I sent messages early on because I didn't receive proper reservation confirmation. In all those unsent emails she sent me, you'd assume she would notice. Make a phone call? Two days prior I called VBRO and got the mess sorted out. We rebooked a property with air conditioning! I was well aware of the forecast. Other than myself, my guests all live close by. Upon arrival the house was HOT! I went to the thermostat and attempted to start the cooling process. I have Bulldogs and they cannot handle heat...it can kill them in minutes. I put them in a cold shower, let them lay on a bathroom floor, wet. My family started to arrive...my son determined, the home had no AC. in fact, it didn't even have fans. My husband showed up with a fan to put on the dogs. The house was between 80-90 degrees every single day, My adult children and grand kids went home to sleep in their homes with AC. It was miserable and dangerous! My elderly parents had planned on visiting they couldn't.
I contacted the Property MGR., she told me she didn't understand the thermostat. Explained typical weather to local people and told me to take dogs that are heat sensitive and can't swim, to the dog park to cool She is clueless. I'll never rent another property she manages. We deserve compensation from VBRO.

Beautiful home & views!
We enjoyed our weekend with a group of family and friends. The home is in great condition, lovely views, and walking distance to golf club, marina and Sudden Valley amenities. Our younger guests and adults loved the darts, pool table and puzzle. Highly recommend this place!
