Blaine, Washington is beautifully framed by Mt. Baker to the east and Semiahmoo Bay and the Georgia Strait to the west. You’ll enjoy picturesque sunsets from the patio of this modern, waterfront home recently built in 2017. The home has 9-foot ceilings and expansive glass doors that frame the breathtaking scenery that you can enjoy without leaving the comfort of a luxurious king size bed. The main level features a master bedroom and bath complete with his and her sinks, a tiled shower and separate bathtub. The living area and kitchen have an open floor plan, designed to take advantage of the west facing views of Drayton Harbor and Semiahmoo.

All the apples and berries you can eat this time of year on the property and coastline.

The kitchen is a dream for any chef, complete with full stove, dishwasher, microwave and spacious island to do all your prep work. We should mention there’s a brand new BBQ in the backyard for your use too! However, there are some amazing dining options nearby as well.

Blaine has recently been made the Audubon Society’s list as on the of state’s top birding destinations and Drayton Harbor attracts thousands of geese, ducks, loons, gulls and shorebirds every year, as well as, endangered species such as the bald eagle, peregrine falcon and marbled murrelet. There is water access from a private path along the backyard and a kayak available to you to go paddle and explore this beautiful shoreline. There is a firepit by the water’s edge, which is a great place to enjoy your evening glass of wine.
For a fun time, affordable menu with OK food, cheap drinks and dancing the Beach in Birch Bay is my favorite place. It is on the water and there is a bar next door with dozens of exotic beers on tap and a liquor store next door. On the 4 mile drive back home there is a little market.

Only minutes away the other direction is the Semiahmoo Resort. It is a world-class destination, featuring a marina, pool, spa, fitness center, restaurant and championship golf courses and $1,000,000 condos. Visit Packers Oyster Bar for their amazing lamb burgers, flatbreads and beer-battered fish and chips, or the for exquisite brunches and a fabulous selection of fine dining options.

Semiahmoo Spit is also home to Semiahmoo Park, which features more than 300 acres of tideland and approximately 1.5 miles of level pathways ideal for walking, biking, rollerblading, kayaking, clamming, sand sculpting, kite flying and picnicking.

Downtown Blaine is just a short drive or nice walk from the house, where you can grab a scoop of delicious ice cream from a local family farm in Lynden. In 1975, Ed and Aileen Bransma combined their names to create Edaleen Dairy. The ice cream shop in downtown Blaine opened in 2014 and includes all the usual varieties and some tasty others, among them chocolate chip peanut butter nut, blueberry cheesecake, white chocolate raspberry, fudgy wudgy and coffee almond fudge. A great place to also stock up on fresh cream, yogurt, milk and cheese all made from their dairy too. Additionally, there are nearby local farms where you can pick your own berries, apples, veggies and lavender. There are apple and berry trees and bushes on the property.

I hope you will enjoy your memorable stay here at our wonderful oasis overlooking Drayton Harbor. There is a separate entrance to the second floor and is occupied by quiet long-term renters and Drake the dog. Let me know if you have any questions regarding your future stay here with me. I hope to see you soon!
