About this property.

Rare low-bank, west-facing waterfront cottage on Semiahmoo Bay—truly one of a kind. Waterfront ownership isn’t just about a home—it’s about a lifestyle. From breathtaking sunsets and the calming rhythm of the tides to direct access for kayaking, crabbing, and beachcombing, living on the water offers a rare sense of peace, privacy, and connection to nature that simply can’t be replicated. It’s also a timeless investment—waterfront property remains among the most desirable and limited real estate you can own. This single-level, fully furnished 3-bedroom home is a turnkey property with a fully operable Airbnb, sleeping 6 and offering guaranteed revenue with an excellent rental history. Features include newer windows, fresh paint, hardwood floors, updated electrical, fresh appliances, and a charming, well-maintained interior that is clean as a whistle. Set on a shy half-acre of waterfront with utilities on site and a well-maintained septic system, the property offers future renovation potential. A detached two-car garage and unfinished basement add valuable flexibility. Set back from the shoreline, the home enjoys easy beach access—perfect for setting crab pots, launching kayaks, hosting beach barbecues, and creating lasting memories by the water.
