This property and surrounding area was beyond our expectations. Pleasant walks and views, it was quiet and not a far drive for anything needed from town or for the airport

John was easy to communicate with, very helpful and replied to messages quickly.
I would recommend staying here!!
Easy check in. Perfect location. Beautiful resort with lots of amenities. Easy and quick drive to Parksville and Qualicum, but truly a lovely place to stay and relax after our adventures. It was a great stay.
Place was perfect for our stay on the island! Beds were super comfortable, suite was clean and stocked with all the essentials. Property includes access to pool and hot tub! Restaurant on site was also a plus and parking was very convenient!
very nice place to stay. outdoor hot tub in the snow was awesome.

Really nice place to stay and can’t beat the price! The location is wonderful, right down on the water and easy access to the beach. Room was modern and clean and had lots of nice touches.
The only downside is the sound proofing between suites is not great. It was an issue one of the two nights we stayed.
If you are local and want a nice get away highly recommend or if you are visiting Vancouver island this would work as a wonderful base for day trips.
Very nice condo, very clean, comfortable king bed, lots of very efficient plugins that we appreciated, lovely jacuzzi bathtub in the bathroom. We appreciated the little selection of kitchen supplies to get started with. We loved sitting out on on private little protected balcony with a view of the bay. We made good use of the swimming pool and hot tub, plus the outdoor hottub. We walked on the amazingly made walkway on the water, all around the grounds. Plus there were places to sit and to BBQ - to further enjoy being outside. It was fun to watch sports while we enjoyed supper in the on-site restaurant. We would love to go back to just relax again.
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.

Beautiful condo with a lovely patio and view of the stunning water. Everything included. Board games, dishes, fan, air conditioner. The blinds are new, electronic and easy to use. Property comes with a binder with a ton of information, dining, activities, beaches etc.
A pleasant surprise! Fully equipped modern studio and fully equipped grounds with BBQs courts hiking trails, sunset viewing and swimming beach! Would definitely return!
We were satisfied with our overall stay at the resort, however the bathroom needs some serious maintenance. The sliding doors on the balcony would not lock and need to be repaired. We were most disappointed with the lack of communication with the property manager. The food at the restaurant was exceptional however the lack of breakfast was disappointing. The view from our room was beautiful, very much enjoyed.

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.
