Possibel candidates are the Semiahmoo and Sandcastle just across the border and the Ocean Promenade in White Rock. Family of 5 so we need a two bedroom type suite ar appartment. Any suggestions or tips?

I grew up and currently live in White Rock, and am pretty familiar with the area. Unfortunately, that also means that I dont often stay in hotels around here
Ocean Promenade is on a nice part of White Rock beach, and its a nice, reasonably priced hotel with suites. But the area can be pretty crowded, and the Sandpiper Pub next door attracts a lot of bikers & such. Nothing to be worried about as it is a completely safe area, but just be prepared to see the "old school White Rock crowd" on and around the patio on sunny days.
I've heard that Semiahmoo is pretty nice, but it's isolated on a peninsula, so it might seem a bit confined.
Birch Bay is a quaint little town, and seems to me like a quieter version of White Rock.
You might also want to check some places a bit further south like Whidby Island. The natural landscape in those parts is pretty awesome.
PM me if you have any other questions.
