Truly an amazing ocean view with good access to the walkable rocky/gravelly beach in front. It was quiet, felt private and was well positioned for exploring the beaches and the parks nearby. There was lots of well set up space outside to sit or eat, a hot tub that was much appreciated, lawn space to just be on and the little bunkie was a cute added space.

We loved our stay, and only wished we could have stayed longer! What a beautiful and peaceful location right on Scot’s Bay. The cottage was immaculately clean. What a perfect set up the cottage is for a family or even two separate families or several couples. The cottage is so tastefully and creatively decorated and well equipped with everything you need. We fell in love with the place and hope to go back!

This cottage was an amazing place for my adult daughter and I to stay as we explored Nova Scotia. The house is immaculate, well-decorated and comfortable. The view is great and watching the tide come in and out was so cool. We particularly enjoyed collecting beautiful stones on the shore. We hiked the nearby Cape Split trail and did the ocean floor walk at Burntcoat Park. Fresh seafood was plentiful at area restaurants and delicious. I hope we can go back some day!

This is a great little cottage that comfortably slept all of us for a family roadtrip. The place was well equipped so we could prepare some meals there. We really enjoyed being able to explore the shoreline right from the property. It was very relaxing.

Gorgeous home and view. Clean, comfortable, well set up and absolutely beautiful inside and out. Only thing we didn’t love, was the exterior video surveillance, it’s constant movement made it feel weird while having a nice family dinner on the patio.
