Lovely Off Season Stay

Perfect for a family stay. We used everything in the kitchen. The blender, oven, pots and pans, toaster, dishwasher and washer/dryer. Everything worked great and was clean when we arrived. The table is large enough for several people. Quality furnishings just a bit outdated. The dryer took hours to dry the load of laundry but it did eventually dry. The pool is heated! My daughter and I had a lovely time in the pool and hot tub. It was 51 degrees outside and still warm in the pool. Check in was quick and the staff friendly. She told us there was a rooftop area where you can lounge and look out over the water. We went up at sunset. There are lots of chairs and my kids saw a lighthouse signal for the first time. We had a great time!

Christmas at the Raintree

It was fabulous!! They left us some sparkling cider as it was Christmas. The unit was clean and well appointed. It was too warm with no way to control temp within the unit. The lobby was decorated for the holidays and the staff was so fun and friendly. We will be back and the price was fabulous.
