Port Hood Cottage

Great location and perfect size for our short vacation. Amenities exactly as descibed and very clean when we checked in. My grandchildren enjoyed running up and down the hills when they came for a "picnic" and the views were stunning. Would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed the gorgeous setting of the property and the amenities were as described in the listing. It was a great stopover on our Cabot Trail weekend and we had a delightful dinner at the nearby distillery. Would recommend!

Ocean view

We really enjoyed the view of the sloping fields and ocean. It was peaceful. We enjoyed relaxing on the large deck. The owner was welcoming and friendly. The cottage had everything we needed to cook our own meals.

Beautiful sunrises an sunsets

Area was nice. Sunrises and the sunsets were very nice. Fairly quiet. Close to Sunset Beach as Murphy Pond was not acceptable. It appears there was an Alexa camera on. We turned off the second day we noticed it. No instructions to use TV because of Alexa system. Otherwise we enjoyed our vacation.
