Great stat
We had a comfortable and clean room. The property is lovely and we enjoyed walking on the paths and beach. Outdoor jacuzzi tub was great after a big hike. We enjoyed the onsite restaurant - great food - good entertainment one night. It would have been nice to have bathrobes to walk to the pool/hot tub.
The Nook studio condo makes a great get-away vacation stay. From the 4th floor there is a serene view of the estuary and Craig Bay. It's both comfortable and beautiful, and featured great amenities: a working fireplace, big flat TV, sofa, comfy king size bed, a kitchenette, a balcony, a fabulous deep jacuzzi tub, good lighting, and a convenient elevator near the parking garage. The building was quiet and the resort has lots of amenities and a beautiful setting to explore.

The resort and the area is beautiful. Georgeous sunsets and nice swimming area. Nicely maintained swimming pools and hot tubs. The unit was nice and cozy with a large jacuzzi tub. I filled it up and got in and then noticed some hairs in the tub. The extra sheets for the pull out bed were just thrown in the closet so it was hard to tell if they had been laundered.
