Comfortable home, beautifully done. Great outdoor spaces with a very large fenced in backyard. Easy walking to nearby restaurants and marina.

We had a great stay. The house was very clean, directions were clear as what to do, empty garbage, recycle, etc. The home was exactly as shown in the pictures. The kitchen was stocked with so many extras--a full spice drawer with tons of spices (none of them were past the best buy date), games, two coffee pots, decaf coffee, etc. There was also some supplies probably left by otbers such as saran wrap, aluminum foil, that we could use. The kitchen also had lots of pots and pans. The neighborhood was very quiet. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

This house is great. It was quiet, air conditioned, and nicely remodeled and had everything I needed. Loved yard and hammock!! And it’s walking distance to town

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. Beds were comfortable and comfortable living room.
A few issues :not enough toilet paper and the cleaners didn’t do a good job : unwiped counters, hair in the bath tub and Kleenex box left to look full but only 1 tissue in the box. But in saying all that we would stay here again. The location is an easy walk to town.
The host was very communicative.

This was a good location, especially with kids. Big fenced back yard plus a playground less than a block away. Rode bikes to the downtown Blaine area. Easy drive to Birch Bay park, Semiahmoo Spit, Bellingham, and Vancouver. The house was perfectly fine! Big walk in closet made for a good toddler bedroom.

I would highly recommend this home. Clean, comfortable and so many little extra’s. Spice drawer was full, desktop computer available for use, huge backyard, beds are comfy and the soaking tub was my favorite and TV is living room and each bedroom. Stay was perfect.

Home was very nice. With no handrails my nephew fell and knocked me off the deck our second day. I had to go to ER. Then my nephew fell in shower due to no mat and it was very slippery. I will do better checking on ADA if we go again

My husband I and another couple had a lovely stay at this cute rancher house. When we saw this cute house from outside we just fell in love with it. When we entered the house it was just what we were looking forward to.
This house was totally clean. So bright as there are skylights in the living room. Loved the kitchen and the whole area.
The kitchen is equipped with everything...name it cutlery knives serving spoons, scissors, ziploc bags etc. You will love it. the spice cabinet was awesome though we did not need to use any as we cooked food and brought. All we did was just warm up the food.
We met with the Manager cute lady Tami. Bless her she has taken real good care of this property. There are decks on either sides of the house. Very clean. The backyard is awesome. Well kept. There is a computer in the room where I guess kids can play their games or you can check your emails. Very cozy and comfortable.
They have a bed that folds into a cabinet. That was smart. It looked so neat and tidy. Bedrooms were awesome too.
My husband and I slept in the queen bedroom I found the bed a bit too high for a person my height. I'm 5.2 feet. But comfortable beds. The bathroom/washroom were absolutely smelling fresh and clean. She also had a shower cap. I had forgotten to carry mine. So thank you Tami. We went on our walks to the Pier so beautiful.
Loved the house. Tami you take a lot of trouble to keep it clean for all that rent this place. Thank you very much.

Great property, wish we had more time to spend there but no such luck. Great yard and 2 enclosed backyard areas with seating for travelers. Will definitely try and make it back and spend more time!

What impressed me was the overall cleanliness of the Facility. This was truly a place away from home that made you feel comfortable. It fulfilled ALL my expectations. Note that the Facility had two showerheads in the main bathroom and is well lighted. Location was perfect for accessing restaurants and the Blaine Dairy, Eadaleen's makes outstanding ice cream. The owner is truly friendly and makes you feel welcome. Thank you!! David C.

We have stayed at a number of rental properties, and this one was the best equipped property we have ever stayed at! It made our stay so very enjoyable!! From the fluffy bathroom towels, well stocked kitchen(Good knives that actually cut!!) and little details like a canister of q-tips in the master bathroom…this Blaine property is a gem! We stayed during October, so the weather was cold and wet. We look forward to staying here again during the warmer months to fully enjoy the large backyard, blueberry bushes, and outside living areas!!

Me and a few of my fellow mom friends stayed at this house for a mom getaway. It was perfect! So cozy, comfy, and quiet. The bathtub was amazing and we loved hanging around the kitchen island. Thank you for such a great time!

Our family of 4 stayed here while visiting from Arizona. This vrbo was everything we could have hoped for in making it the perfect stay. Our boys (4 & 10) played in the backyard every day! Overall it was a 10/10 stay!

This is a nice little house and the kitchen is well stockedl. They even have a drawer with lots of seasonings for cooking which was nice. It’s in a quiet neighborhood and there is a park a block away which was very convenient. It has a very large enclosed back yard with two sets of outdoor furniture and a bbq grill. It rained all but one day while we were there and we had a busy schedule so we were not able to enjoy the back yard. There were some things that could be improved on that took away from our stay. We arrived late about 8 pm. After eating dinner and getting settled we realized that the large garage door was unlocked so my husband locked it. Then we discovered that the back garage door that led to the backyard had no way to lock it. It was a door with a metal flap for locking with a padlock but there wasn’t a padlock on the door, and the garage door that led to inside the house couldn’t be locked from inside the house, so essentially someone could get into the house with no way to lock the back garage door. Luckily, my husband happened to have a padlock with us that trip so we put our personal padlock on the door to secure the house for our stay. We also found 2 windows unlocked before going to bed that night. There was a load of laundry in the wash and a load in the dryer that I had to finish myself before being able to use for our own laundry and had to fold and put the laundry away. I looked everywhere for an iron and ironing board which is listed in the amenities but couldn’t find them so I contacted the owner. Their response was that they didn’t have one at the house but they would bring one the next day. That was an inconvenience because my husband had to wear a suit early the next day and so I was unable to iron his shirt. There was not a large outdoor trash can so there was no where to put trash for the 11 or 12 days we were there and apparently there is no trash service. We didn’t care for the beds being so high and we weren’t fans of the foam mattresses that made us sweat every night but that’s personal preference. Night stands in the master bedroom would be nice. Under the beds and couch had not been cleaned, there was a lot of dust and even a drink can under the couch. The hall bath tub was dirty, I had to clean it. And there were a couple items in freezer from someone else that should not have been there. Overall it was a nice place, but is still being worked on and could use some attention to details.

So beautiful. And the attention to detail leaves you in awe. We had a wonderful weekend and hope this can become our new rental a few times a year

This home is updated and the bed was super comfortable. The two desks make for awesome bbqing.
The bay is just a quick walk (2 blocks) and a park is less than that!
The home is complete with everything you would need for your stay, and some extra! (basketball, football, games.....)
