Beautiful location right across from the beach. Amazing sunsets. We got a great deal on a penthouse suite! You do have to pay for wifi if you are not a member. Limited dining options but full kitchenette so bring your cooler of food to make. Pool+Hottub+Fitness center also.

Really enjoyed our stay here. It is very family oriented so if you prefer not having kids playing and enjoying themselves- avoid. We were an older couple and wish we could have had our grandchildren with us. Staff is very nice. Coffee is served in the lobby from 7 to noon. Breakfast is not provided. Our space had a full kitchen so we were just fine - eating in or out when we wanted. From what I understand, this is a timeshare facility and spaces open up when owners cancel their available time. The biggest complement I could give - we would go back if not on the opposite coast.

Weekend getaway

A weekend escape to Canada and Birch Bay, Washington, entailed mornings spent on the balcony with coffee, taking in the water vistas and birdlife, and serene evenings witnessing the sunset's splendor. Truly, a destination tailored for unwinding and connecting with nature.

We've stayed before, again pools were out but noone said anything even at checkin. Pools had just opened next day. I took a hard fall as I stepped onto top step of hottub, even though I was gripping rail and am always super careful. It was as if oil was on it, my leg bolted out from under me. That was one week ago and Im still in pain and its been a real 'pain' since as my tailbone took a hard hit, twisted ankles going down etc.We reported it to front desk right away and were told they'd have maintenance look at it. We stayed there an hour and noone came. We said something again, same response. I have emailed the Raintree Corp and no response to date. Crickets. It would take so little to at minimum follow-up. Just fix the problem Raintree.
