Tranquillity by the sea
Our second time visiting this beautiful home overlooking the ocean. We were so happy to experience the long walks on the beach and meals on the deck overlooking the stunning sunsets again! We especially enjoyed the BBQ which was a new addition this year. Thank you for sharing your home with us again Lee and Charlotte !

Stunning home and setting
This cottage is gorgeous- exactly as depicted in the photos online. It would easily accommodate 2 families with 5 bedrooms, three full bathrooms, 2 family rooms. It is so tastefully decorated and welcoming. The views are spectacular, the beach just steps away, gorgeous sunsets and sunrises, campfires, lots of local sights and activities- just a great setting for a family vacation. If you can, plan your next vacation here.

The Place to stay in Nova Scotia
A wonderful home in a beautiful location. The whole family thoroughly enjoyed their stay. Everything was as described. Sitting on the deck and watching the bald eagle fly over it was awesome. Highly recommend this home/location to anyone visiting Nova Scotia

Beautiful vistas
This property was exactly as described and the photos accurately reflect the condition of this home. The views from the deck and the great room are awesome - we enjoyed stunningly beautiful sunsets and sunrises. The home is beautifully appointed, modern, clean and spacious. The only amenities I recommend be added are a bbq (an indoor grill just doesn’t measure up) and a hot tub to further enhance the experience. On balance, a fabulous vacation experience.

Beautiful House on water
My friends and I are always looking for a house overlooking water when we go on vacation together. This did not disappoint. The house was immaculate! The views were breathtaking. We spent more time just relaxing at the house than sight seeing. Definitely a great home to get away in. The Wongs were also extremely hospitable with answering all of our questions and checking in on us. Definitely would love to be back!

Beautiful home
The property and home are absolutely stunning with the views of the ocean. Communicated a few times with Lee via email and always had a responded quickly. The house was very clean and have everything we needed except for a bbq, but was told that by Lee before renting. The house was in a great area, talked to a few of the neighbors and they were all very polite and friendly. Love thi property and the location and would definitely rent again. Lee was so easy and very nice to deal with and I recommend anyone should rent this place if they love great views and a beautiful home. We rent every year in Nova Scotia and definitely will be returning in the years to come. Thanks Lee and Charlotte for the beautiful home for the week.
