Raintree's Sandcastle, Birch Bay

The resort is in a good location, right across the beach in a bay. It has a restaurant on the ground floor, which plays really loud music on Friday and Saturday nights until very late. We didn't eat there because honestly, it didn't look very "inspiring". There are other good places in Blaine, 15 minutes North of Birch Bay. The apartment was ok, in dire need of a refresher. The furniture old and beds very soft. There is no AC, just a fan, but we didn't really need it, the weather wasn't too hot. Overall pretty clean, except the bathrooms. They could have used a deep cleaning. Kitchen not a lot to offer, but sufficient to cook breakfast and light dinner/lunch. Parking lot is a little weird, half paved, half dirt. The staff is pleasant. There's not much to do in the area, we didn't stay local. There is a market not far from there, called The Market, well stocked with a lot to offer. Bellingham offers a lot of stores, a Costco, a couple of Fred Meyers, a Whole Foods, coffee shops, restaurants. I wouldn't return here unless they update the place and do something about the restaurant downstairs.

Everything was excellent including staff, quality of rooms, cleanliness. Everything required was available in kitchen and washrooms. Lot of natural light in rooms. Beds were clean and comfortable. Very spacious rooms. We will visit again for sure.

We stayed in a penthouse suite and it was great! Lots of space, amazing view of the bay, very comfortable. We were able to play cards outside in our little porch while watching whales spout and even had an eagle fly over! Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay and we felt pampered. Definitely putting this on our "going there again" list!

Nice room location.deck needs cleaning up.

My first impression was Sunnie at the reception desk was so friendly! It turns out all the staff were very friendly and more than happy to help with any questions we had. We reserved a two bedroom unit .We found that the King bed was very comfortable. I read from other reviews that the furniture and decor were a little dated but we didn’t mind at all. The unit was very spacious and clean. Very homey The first night we had dinner in our unit and the kitchen was well equipped .We then enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub. Then it was back to the rooftop patio to enjoy a fantastic sunset Restaurants are an easy stroll away. Good food at a reasonable price. we both thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it We were fortunate and had a sunny and warm weekend so we enjoyed our small deck for morning coffee. In the afternoon I took my glass of wine up to the rooftop patio and enjoyed the amazing views of the ocean and basked in the sun. There was even a whale spouting off in the distancet
