Extended Stay Gem in Columbia - Walk to Parks

  • Summary:

    Designed for real living — not just a weekend.



    This renovated 2BR duplex on West Street is ideal for longer stays: relocating, remote work, or an extended visit to Bellingham. Walk to Squalicum Creek Park, neighborhood coffee, and local breweries. Pet friendly. Fully stocked. Stay a while.



    The Space:

    This is the kind of place where you unpack your suitcase and exhale.



    Clean, modern design. Comfortable furniture. Thoughtful lighting. Everything chosen with the idea that you might be here for a while.



    Not flashy — just done well.

    Both bedrooms include:

    • Queen memory foam mattress

    • High-quality, layered linens

    • Simple, calm design

    • Space to unpack and feel settled

    Good sleep matters more when you’re staying longer. These rooms are designed for that.

    A comfortable space to land at the end of the day.

    • Oversized Smart TV (log into your own apps)

    • Fast WiFi and separate desk for remote work

    • Games, books, and puzzles

    • Inviting seating and soft lighting

    It works for movie nights, workdays, or slow mornings with coffee.



    A Kitchen You’ll Actually Use

    If you're staying more than a few days, the kitchen becomes important.

    This one is ready:

    • Stand mixer

    • Blender

    • Baking tools

    • French press + Chemex

    • Burr coffee grinder

    • Quality cookware and real storage space

    You can cook real meals here. Meal prep for the week. Bake on a rainy afternoon. It doesn’t feel temporary.



    Made for Longer Stays

    • Relocations

    • Traveling professionals

    • Remote workers

    • Insurance displacement stays

    • Extended family visits

    The Neighborhood:

    Peaceful & Local in the Heart of Bellingham

    Located in a quiet residential pocket of Bellingham’s Columbia neighborhood, this home offers the perfect mix of comfort and convenience. You’ll be staying in one of the city’s most beloved historic areas—where tree-lined streets, character homes, and a strong sense of community create a peaceful, welcoming vibe.



    Just blocks away, you can walk or bike to local gems like Elizabeth Station (a cozy beer and cider spot), Squalicum Creek Park, or nearby trails leading to the waterfront. The home is also a short drive or bike ride from downtown Bellingham, where you’ll find farmers markets, restaurants, galleries, and the charming Fairhaven district.



    Whether you’re sipping coffee on the porch or heading out to explore the bay, the neighborhood offers a relaxed and authentic Bellingham experience—close to everything, but just tucked away enough to feel like a true retreat.



    Getting Around:

    You’ll be staying in one of Bellingham’s most walkable and bike-friendly neighborhoods. The Columbia area is known for its peaceful tree-lined streets, friendly community vibe, and easy access to parks, trails, and local shops. It’s perfect for guests who prefer to explore without a car.



    There’s a bike lane just a block away, and you’re a short ride from downtown, the Bellingham waterfront, and Western Washington University. The Interurban and Bay to Baker trails are also nearby for longer scenic rides or walks.



    Public transit is easy too—Whatcom Transit Authority (WTA) buses run frequently through the area, with routes that connect you to Fairhaven, Bellis Fair Mall, the airport, and other key destinations.



    If you do bring a car, free off-street parking is available on site for your convenience.



    Whether you’re walking, biking, taking the bus, or driving, this spot makes it easy to get around—while keeping things low-stress and eco-friendly.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We have stayed in a lot of VRBOs over the years, and Emma and her Stay Bham team are hands down the best hosts you could ask for. They went above and beyond to make sure that our 47 night stay was everything we wanted it to be. The unit itself was very nice and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, everything was very clean, and the TV and appliances all seemed very new. Everything worked as it should. The park and dog park just down the hill that provided trail access to walk to the pier which we did almost daily. Check-in and check-out were also very easy. We would definitely recommend staying at this property.
