Great Location!

Backyard Bungalow

Jeannie’s place is about as close to the state park as you can get and I truly love this area. I was looking for a last minute booking for Birch Bay and was pleased to find this spot available. Jeannie is a very kind and considerate host <3

Paddleboarder’s Dreamspot

Backyard Bungalow

Jeannie’s Bungalow was so easy to find and was super cozy! It was our first time using the sort of bathroom at the bungalow and we were a bit nervous going in but the instructions were clear and Jeannie also walked us through how to use it which helped build our confidence. We stayed over 4th of July weekend and I would definitely recommend it for anyone who wants the fun of fireworks but hates crowds. Very convenient spot to stay for anyone looking to paddleboard or kayak as private beach access is literally across the street. The neighborhood is very friendly with the houses all very close to the street so you feel a strong community vibe as you walk through with people waving and saying hi. A spot filled with laughter of friends, but nobody blasting music. A lot of folks get around on bikes or golf carts and the cars drive very safely around them. Jeannie herself was so sweet to us and you can tell she really wants her guests to enjoy their stay (we did!). I would definitely stay here again and get more paddleboard time. Thanks again Jeannie!

Exactly what we needed!

Backyard Bungalow

My husband and I decided to do a last-minute weekend getaway to Birch Bay, and this little bungalow ended up being exactly what we were looking for. Jeannie was such a wonderful host. She was friendly, responsive, and has really thought of everything. I couldn’t believe how many cute little amenities were packed into such a cozy space. We loved playing cards, listening to records, and just hanging out after a day at the beach. It felt comfortable, clean, and had such a relaxing vibe. One of our favorite parts of the trip was riding our bikes down to Birch Bay State Park, then walking across the street to the beach to watch the sunset. It was absolutely gorgeous. If you’re looking for a quiet, affordable place to unplug that’s just steps from the water, I’d definitely recommend staying here. We’d happily book again the next time we’re in Birch Bay.

Birch BY

Backyard Bungalow

This is a fabulous place to stay! Clean and tidy! Bungalow was cozy and inviting- Bed was comfy, beach themed decor well done. Felt comfortable and safe in the neighborhood. Local bar/restaurant was a hoot with dancing and live music. Local options avail for golf cart and kayak rental. Peaceful waterway abuts the property and the beach is a short walk across the street in front of property. Enjoyed my morning coffee on the patio, listening to and feeding the birds. Definitely recommend and will look fwd to returning.
