    What's special

    Manicured gardensMature apple treesPrivate beach accessSpa-inspired primary suiteVaulted ceilings
    Salt air. Golden light. Your gateway to the Great White North and beyond. This is a lifestyle defined by tides, fairways, and adventure. Set on nearly three-quarters of an acre where the Pacific Northwest meets the open sea, this coastal retreat offers private beach access, vaulted ceilings, and walls of glass that frame the water from nearly every room. Step out onto the expansive 1,700+ sq ft deck and take it all in. The spa-inspired primary suite with gas fireplace is a sanctuary unto itself, while the full lower level lives like a separate residence — second kitchen, private entry, and all — perfect for guests, multi-generational living, or a stylish income suite. Currently operating as an active short-term rental, the home offers exceptional income flexibility: lease the lower suite while enjoying the main residence, or use the property part-time and rent the upper and lower levels independently. Manicured gardens and mature apple trees ground the home in natural beauty. Mornings on the deck, strolls along the shore, bonfires at dusk — and Semiahmoo Resort's golf course, marina, and spa just around the bend.
