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.

Surprisingly amazing! Would go back! This place was small but perfectly layed out so it did not feel small. We had 6 adults and it worked out great! Could have not asked for anything better. Clean, great communication, easy to get to. Had everything we needed for our stay.

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.

One of the best VRBOs I’ve ever rented! From the outside, it’s pretty unassuming, but once you walk in, you realize what a great place it is. It was spotless, very well laid out, and had plenty of room for the four of us.What really impressed us were all the little details—the coffee beans and grinder, books, and thoughtful touches throughout the house. You can tell a lot of care went into making the place comfortable and welcoming.And then you have the location. Right on the Bay of Fundy with an absolutely incredible view! Waking up to that scenery and watching the huge tides come and go was something special.We loved our stay and would absolutely stay here again. Definitely a 5-star experience!

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.

Thank you Sarah for your feedback on the new anti theft and vandalism security system. I’ve adjusted the settings to prevent this discomfort for guests in the future. Please come again.

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!

A little bit of paradise with spectacular sunsets! This property is meticulously clean, beautifully built, artfully decorated and thoughtfully equipped. Information and communication was excellent.The cottage beach has tons of cool rocks at low tide, and the nearby Cape Split hike is fantastic. The cottage area is quiet and peaceful.We feel very lucky to have found this place!

I cannot express how much we enjoyed staying at this little slice of heaven. The cottage was so beautiful, with so many thoughtful touches. From the stunning sunsets, to beach adventures, roasting marshmallows on the fire, and family game nights, this week has been full of memories we will keep forever. We did local adventures such as the Cape split hike, found treasures at Amethyst cove, caught crabs and clams on the tides of blomidon provincial park, and ice cream at the lookout. We even made the longer trip into Shubie River to do tidal bore rafting, which was so much fun!!! And one of the best parts of these days was coming home to the view of the ocean sunset:)All in all, I would (and will) highly recommend this place to anyone! And my family and I plan on returning in the future :)

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!
