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 Depending on who you book through you might have to pay for internet, which just seems outdated and greedy.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.

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.

We stayed at Raintree’s Sandcastle and had a mixed experience. The staff was exceptional. The were consistently friendly, helpful, and really the highlight of the stay. Unfortunately, the room itself didn’t live up to the same standard. There was no air conditioning, and with temps in the high 70s, the room got uncomfortably hot. The fireplace pilot light, which you can’t shut off, added to the heat. We had to keep windows open just to cool things down, and it didn’t really help until late at night. The bathroom wasn’t great. We had very low water pressure, and the tub didn’t drain, which made for a gross shower experience. The TV was tiny and outdated, not ideal if you're planning to relax in the room. The kitchen was a plus. It was well stocked with cookware, dishes, and utensils, which made it easy to prep meals without issues. Just be aware: this is a timeshare property, and it feels like Expedia rents out the units when owners aren’t using them. That’s fine, but it explains the odd mix of condo and hotel vibes.

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!

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
