Wow, reasonably priced, excellent views and quiet.
Did I mention the Bald Eagles soaring in front of our windows??Nice home in a quiet neighborhood. Very close to the town and far enough for quiet. We had a couple of questions that were immediately addressed by the owners. I would happily stay here again.
Amazing location with beautiful panoramic window view of Bellingham Bay. Manicured lawns and path to beach. Great for fair weather stays or cozy views out the window with a fire.Ammenities were basic but functional. Quick and friendly communication from local host.
Perfect location with easy commute to WWU and Civic Stadium! Beautiful view to wake up to and sip our morning Java! Brought our dogs and took them for walks around the quiet neighborhood. Host was easy and wonderful to communicate with.
As described and comfortable. Great communication. Thank you.

Could be a great vacation rental with lots of work
The property could be really nice, however, it was not very clean, there was no hot water in the shower, the advertisement said it had central heat and air, and when we texted the owner to ask how to turn on the heat she said the HVAC wasn't being installed for another week or so. The listing also claimed to have a sleeper sofa in the living room but it did not. Lastly, and most importantly, the owners home is connected to the rental via a door, which has no lock on the rental side and at one point, when we complained about no hot water, the owner just opened the door to give us an update and just yelled, "hello, hello", without knocking or coming to the front door! We were very uncomfortable after that, knowing that they could/would enter our space at any time without any prior notice.
