About

Birch Haven Retreat | Palm Coast – Pool Table • Close to Beach • Dog Friendly

Welcome to Birch Haven Retreat, your serene coastal escape in sunny Palm Coast! Just minutes from soft, sandy beaches, this warm and welcoming home blends relaxation, fun, and comfort for the entire family—including your four-legged companion.

Step inside and feel the airy brightness of the open living area, where natural light filters through large windows and soft seating invites you to sink in and unwind. The fully equipped kitchen is a cook’s delight, with everything you need to prepare a hearty breakfast before heading to the shore or to savor a home-cooked dinner filled with the aroma of fresh ingredients. In the evenings, gather around the pool table, where the soft clack of billiard balls sets the stage for laughter, friendly competition, and family game nights that linger into the night.

At Birch Haven Retreat, we know dogs are part of the family. Your pup will love curling up at your feet after a day of beach walks, tail wagging as you relax together in the cozy living space. This property accommodates two housebroken dogs (under 35 pounds) with a non-refundable pet fee of $150. Approval is required for pets exceeding this limit.

Perfectly situated in the heart of Palm Coast, you’re only a short drive from golden beaches where the sound of waves and salty sea breeze wash your cares away. Explore nearby parks with rustling palms and shaded trails, or head to local shops and restaurants buzzing with coastal charm. Here, you’re never far from sunshine, adventure, and relaxation.

Highlights include a pool table for endless entertainment, dog-friendly accommodations (with approval), spacious light-filled living areas, a fully equipped kitchen with modern amenities, and close proximity to shops, dining, and attractions.

Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a fun retreat with friends, or a peaceful escape with your pup, Birch Haven Retreat offers the perfect setting to relax, reconnect, and create lasting memories by the coast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please remember you are in Florida, where temperatures routinely exceed 90 degrees during the day. If it is over 90 degrees outside, the AC will struggle to cool the house below 75 degrees. Setting the temperature 20 degrees or more below the outside temperature or running it with windows and/or doors open will cause the AC system to run excessively, which may cause the HVAC system to freeze and malfunction.  If this happens, you may incur an additional charge for AC repair and you will not have any AC until the AC company is able to resolve the issue.  Refunds will not be issued.  We recommend keeping blinds and curtains closed during the day to limit light/heat from entering the property.
Please be aware & mindful that there are alligators throughout the fresh water areas of Palm Coast & Flagler Beach. You should assume that there is an alligator in every pond, lake & fresh water river.  Please do not allow small children or dogs near the edge of these fresh water areas.  DO NOT feed or taunt the alligators!
​Many different pests live and thrive in this part of Florida. We get asked about Palmetto Bugs all the time. They can be pretty big, can fly and will scurry around the floor but they are largely harmless. They do occasionally come inside, especially at night and during or after any storms. Rest assured all of our homes are professionally treated at least quarterly for pests. Any bugs that manage to get inside will die quickly.

If you leave the doors or windows open, especially at night, you will likely see a few. This is perfectly normal. If you see 20 or 30 all in one place then please let us know. This might mean we have a nest somewhere in the home and we'll need to get pest control out to take care of it. This is extremely rare! Manager does not accept liability for unfortunate and seasonal visits of any wildlife including but not limited to rodents, insects, and sea life, and no refund or credit will be given related to such unforeseen events.

Tree Frogs & Lizards are also indigenous to our tropical climate and will be around all of our properties. These are good for the environment and are not anything that we treat for!  You may find the occasional one has gotten into the property and not made it out - or has gotten in and is hopping around. There is nothing wrong with this - it is part of our local environment.  

Please don't worry about bugs, enjoy your vacation. You'll likely not see any while you are here, we just include this note so you understand it's not unusual to see some and it doesn't mean the home isn't well looked after!

We utilize third party professional service companies for the provision of Handyman Services, A/C & Heating Repair, Pest Control, Wildlife Removal, Plumbing Repair, Pool & Hot Tub Service, Electrical Repairs, Appliance Repairs and any other repair or maintenance of a technical or specialist nature.  We only used trusted, reputable professional service companies to assess, repair and replace equipment that needs attention. We will work with them to get the first available service appointment. Due to many companies experiencing staffing shortages it can be a challenge to get fast, timely service. Rest assured we will do our best to resolve issues quickly and our service providers understand our need for fast, reliable care.  Due to the global supply crunch, parts and even replacement units may not be available which can be frustrating. Please be patient as we work hard behind the scenes to make small miracles happen on a daily basis!

Guests are not authorized to perform, schedule or coordinate any repairs to anything at the property during their stay. No one may perform any maintenance work on the home without our specific permission in writing. 
The person who makes the reservation must be over 25 years old and must be present during the entire stay.   A mobile number must be provided where we can contact the primary renter at all times. If code enforcement call us with any issues we need to be able to contact someone onsite with 60 minutes to address any issues or you may be liable for any fines imposed by the local government. 

We recommend adding a second mobile number to your account to make sure we can contact someone at all times. This second number may also be used to receive door codes in the event the first phone dies or is left in the unit. 
When you bring in all of your groceries and load up the refrigerator it is going to take time to cool everything back down. Make sure you do not block the vent that brings in the air-flow.  The more full the refrigerator is the harder it is to keep everything cool.  It needs unrestricted air-flow and circulation to be able to keep everything to the appropriate temperature.  Once you put everything in please wait a minimum of four hours before reaching out that there is an issue.
