Quiet place at end of day
The best part was the location because it is a quick walk through the park to family. It's very peaceful and quiet. It was quite cold while we were in Bellingham, but it was cozy in this apartment. It was nice to have a free laundry.

Eclectic and Comfy!
Enjoyed staying here, great location. The kitchen was a bit under-par, but everything else was very comfortable. Quite, setting with charming outdoor seating. No air conditioning, but we stayed in August and didn’t miss it. Washer and dryer were appreciated! Amy was very easy to work with when we needed an extra day.

Bellingham visit
We really enjoyed staying in a neighborhood during our visit. Much more quiet than a motel. Nice to prepare a meal to enjoy with our grandson and his friends (all WWU students) and be able to sit and visit for a while. A tub mat is needed. A very slick tub, so we had to be bery careful.

Horrible curb appeal
The entrance to our unit was covered with cobwebs and weird plant debri, making a poor first impression. The inside was clean but very dated. Won’t be back.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Romanoff

Host profile image
We are a mother/daughter duo taking over a popular VRBO. We moved to Western Washington in April 2016 from Northern California and are loving this area. Danie (daughter) lives in Bellingham with her cat Jaguar and Amy (mother) lives with her husband Kent aboard their steel trawler in Blaine. In the short time we've lived here, we've discovered so many great places to eat and explore by foot and boat, yet we still have lots more to experience. This area is especially appealing to us because it's easy to enjoy the outdoors and it's very affordable. Our love for the area inspired us to start this business.

Why they chose this property

The minute we saw this lovely VRBO property we knew we wanted to manage it. The charming, well decorated apartments caught our eye. We also saw several opportunities to grow and add our own flavor, without disrupting the tasteful ambiance. This property feels very manageable because the apartments are in excellent condition and they are already uniquely decorated and nicely furnished. We feel lucky and honored to keep this tradition going.

What makes this property unique

What drew us to this property at first was its location -- being so close to our favorite parts of Bellingham. We especially love the peaceful setting, nestled in a quiet and safe neighborhood with private sitting areas hidden around the property. Unlike a hotel where every room is identical, here each apartment has it's own unique personality and character.
