The rest of our stay was filled with sunshine, walks on the beach and exploring other areas including New Glasgow, Pictou and other spots. The beaches in the area were very easy to find and lots of nice walking areas too! Great place to take a deep breath and relax. It was nice that there were caretakes in the near vicinity and the owner communicated with us too. The new pavement on the Little Harbour Road between the cottage area and New Glasgow makes driving time very short as well. Thanks for a pleasant and wonderful cottage stay. ##### Janet H.

This cottage has everything I needed and the view over the Northumberland Strait is stunning . I would get up early to enjoy the sunrise. The area is so peaceful and quiet. It was just me this time but the house is very spacious with three bedrooms so great for a family The kitchen is very well equipped. WiFi works very well. A cozy sun porch overlooking the water . And a sunny deck on the back of the house. Bill, the owner, was quick to answer all my questions prior to check in and checked in with me during my stay. A perfect host!!

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage! It was a good home base for exploring and visiting family nearby. The kitchen was well equipped and beds were comfortable. It was lovely to be able to look out the many windows and see the ocean or catch sight of several deer in the mornings. The host was helpful with a phone call to check in (and communication beforehand to answer questions), and the caretakers Cathie & BJ went above and beyond - very hospitable and friendly. We arrived later than planned and had a bit of trouble finding it in the dark (Google put us at the wrong address!), but Cathie came out and helped us out. The only suggestion I would add to the other feedback I've read, is you may want to bring some bottled/spring water to drink. The well water taste may not always be how it was for us, and certainly it was safe to drink, but we preferred a more familiar taste. Also, the listing may be made more accurate with updated photos of the beach. It has evolved significantly from the sandy beach in the photos, and while my kids still had a blast exploring the by climbing the rocks and finding tide pools, for a "classic" beach experience, we drove to nearby Melmerby Beach (worth the trip!). There is also a new larger deck on the ocean side of the cottage that is not pictured and is a lovely spot to sit in the morning with a coffee. Thank you for the great vacation accommodations! ##### Amy S.

We have always dreamed of waking up, and falling asleep for that matter, to the sounds of ocean waves crashing on the shore. We were not disappointed during our stay in this comfy nostalgic cottage. Everything described on VRBO for listing is genuine. Our host, Bill, was extremely attentive to our stay, even reimbursing us for a overpayment we didn't know we made. Our neighbors BJ and his wife were welcoming and helpful to every question we had. We live in the Boston area and decided to take the long way "Road Trip" version. It's not for the faint of heart to travel 11 hours. Staying at a hotel at a halfway point is recommended. Cannot say enough about the beauty and cleanliness of Nova Scotia. Every local we had conversations with were extremely friendly and informative. The cottage is lovely and charming in a "coming home to grandma" way. The kitchen has all the amenities you would expect and there were plenty of extra beddings and towels, etc; available for our use. The WiFi was strong and the Cable TV gave us no issues when we found the need to watch it. I would recommend a few good books and a couple of bottles of wine. Otherwise, just walking out the back door a few yards to enjoy the amazing Atlantic coast was all we needed. Thank you Bill! ##### LISA M. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alan S. Aug 24, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic Vacation What can I say…we consider this to be our new home away from home only better because it is right on the beautiful Northumberland Strait and everything else about the location. This is the second year in a row that we’ve stayed at this cottage and it certainly won’t be the last. We had an absolutely fantastic vacation, and once again, we were not disappointed with anything at all. Terrific weather the whole time and we spent a lot of time on the beach in front of the cottage walking, collecting interesting rocks and just generally enjoying the calming waters of the Northumberland Strait. The water this time of year is so calm and nice and warm so I spent a few afternoons at nearby Melmerby beach too. Even though it was a very warm period, the breezes in the evening cooled things off quite nicely for sleeping. Everything was as advertised. The WIFI was incredibly good with no interruptions whatsoever. The beds were fantastic and the main bed has the perfect mattress for my wife as she has a very bad back which made things so much enjoyable for her. Lots of towels, dishes and absolutely everything you need is right there which makes things so much easier when you go on vacation. The owner kept us informed of anything he thought we should know and even called to check in with us when we got there just to make sure everything was okay. The property managers were great, very approachable and checked in several times also to make sure there was nothing that we needed. They even offered interesting tidbits about the local area that would make our stay more enjoyable. One of my favorite spots was the screened room with a view of the water…absolutely priceless! We just chilled, looking out over the water, watching the Gannets diving for fish…very cool! My wife even caught a glimpse of a whale while scanning the water through the binoculars! We generally ate at the bay window overlooking the Strait...so relaxing. Overall we found that this was the perfect location to decompress and get away from it all. The property is nice and spacious with lots of room to throw the ball around for the dog. But her favorite thing was taking 3 swims a day though while I threw the ball in the water for her…she may have had the best time of all I do believe. Overall, we have no complaints and only good things to say. We just want to say thank you for an absolutely great nine days! This made our entire year! ##### Alan S.
