WorldMark Birch Bay

The resort and its setting

WorldMark Birch Bay is a WorldMark by Wyndham property at 4810 Beachcomber Dr, Blaine, WA 98230, right on the water in Whatcom County. Google's own summary describes it plainly: relaxed studios and condos with kitchen facilities and balconies, set at a waterfront resort with a pool. It currently holds a 4.3 out of 5 rating from 1,147 Google reviews, which for a resort of this size and age is a solid, consistent score rather than a spike of recent hype. Units are self-catering, which suits owners and renters who want to cook some meals and treat the stay more like a holiday home than a hotel room.

The area and things to do

Blaine is tucked into the far northwest corner of Washington State, right at the border crossing into British Columbia, which makes the resort a practical base for anyone splitting a trip between the two countries. Birch Bay itself is known locally for its shallow waters, warm for the Pacific Northwest, and long stretches of beach, popular with families in summer. The wider Whatcom County area gives easy access to Bellingham to the south and the San Juan Islands ferry routes, while the border town of White Rock and the city of Vancouver, BC, are both within reach for a day trip. Birdwatchers and walkers also use the Semiahmoo Spit and Drayton Harbor area nearby.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at WorldMark Birch Bay and are considering selling it on, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list the week yourself, set your own asking price, and pay a one-time listing fee rather than a percentage commission on the sale. Buyers contact you directly through the platform, so there's no third party negotiating on your behalf or taking a cut.

Because WorldMark Birch Bay sits within the WorldMark by Wyndham system, a few brand-specific points are worth knowing before you price or agree a sale. According to WorldMark, a resale transfer typically carries a $399 transfer fee, a figure seen consistently in broker price lists for 2025–2026. No right of first refusal has been found in the current ownership documentation, meaning the resort or developer does not appear to have a contractual option to step in and match a private sale. A broker-handled transfer usually takes around six weeks to complete, so build that into any timeline you give a buyer.

It's also worth being upfront with buyers about what does and doesn't carry over. Club Pass exchange access is limited to developer-purchased vacation credits, so a resale buyer of a secondary-market week may not have the same Club Pass flexibility as an original purchaser. Similarly, VIP and TravelShare benefits attached to an account are reported by owners to transfer only within the same family, not to an unrelated resale buyer. The resort does participate in the RCI exchange network, which is a point many buyers ask about directly.

Practical notes

Anyone renting the week out rather than selling should flag the practical basics that holidaymakers care about most: that units are studios or condos with kitchen facilities, a balcony, and access to a pool, and that the resort is a short drive from the US-Canada border crossing at Blaine. Confirm your week's exact size (studio vs larger condo) and season when listing, since that affects both rental demand and resale value more than almost any other detail.
