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.

Absolutely loved it. Had a plan to meet family from Bellingham. This was close and a thousand times nicer than staying in a hotel in the City. We didn't want to leave! No A/C but it didn't feel hot even when it was 82 degrees out. There was a ceiling fan in bedroom and living room. Lots of kitchen ware for cooking and baking but strangely no skillet so we cooked our eggs in a large sauce pan. Depending on who you book through you might have to pay for internet, which just seems outdated and greedy. Thankfully we booked through Orbitz and had internet included.

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.
