Very well equipped and maintained house. Short stroll to two beaches. Great for kids and adults alike. Lovely patio with a hot tub. Hosts Karen and Neil live next door and are available if there are any issues or questions. We hope to return.

The owners thought of everything. Setting the bar high for future rentals. Back patio was a nice gathering place.

The house is beautiful and fully stocked (even a pot big enough to cook some delicious lobsters!). Karen and Neil were kind and wonderful. We were very grateful to spend out stay in their home and spend time collecting sea glass at the beach down the street!

From the minute we arrived we felt right at home. The owners live next door, so we stopped over to let them know we were there and to get dinner suggestions. They gave us our privacy, but let us know they were there if we needed anything. This was one of the nicest vacation rentals we have stayed in, the house was very clean and nicely decorated. The weather was perfect, we were able to take the kayaks two mornings before heading out for a day of sight seeing. We will definitely stay there again when we return to Nova Scotia.
