Great views but missed the mark

We booked a stay at this property for 2023, and while the property had great views and stylish decor, it missed the mark. The house does not have air conditioning, and the house rules do not allow the windows to be left open at night or when not at the property. It leads the property to be quite stifling during the summer as there is not an adequate way to cool (we ended up bringing our own fans as the ones there were not adequate). Many other properties in the area have heat pumps; you would expect better climate control for the price. Of particular concern was the lack of civic address on the property, it is very difficult to find the appropriate driveway for the rental, which is against bylaws and also concerning if there were a need for emergency services. The washing machine button was missing, and had to figure out our own way to make it work - there needs better communication in advance, particularly given that the rental price is a premium for the area.

Great views off the beaten track

Views from every window of this stylish, modern house were amazing, and we enjoyed sitting on the deck, watching the sunsets, and walking at low tide along the water (but a more accessible path to the beach would make it even better). The open plan design offers little privacy but adds to the spacious feeling. We were surprised to find standard amenities lacking (e.g. paper products, a TV) and dismayed that we were sent no directions to this hard-to-find house and minimal information about the location of the key. Highlights of the area include the Saturday morning farmers’ market in Tatamagouche, charming Pictou, and Gloria’s nearby farm stand.

Idyllic

The house and property were gorgeous - just like the photos! The area is somewhat quiet, Tatamagouche and Pictou were fun. It was a great place to unplug and relax!

Magical Spot on the North Shore

This is our second summer staying at Nicholetta’s beautiful beach house. It is just as gorgeous in real life as it is in the pictures and was perfect for our family of four - including a 2 year old and infant. The yard is huge and far enough off the road that our toddler could run around without as us having to worry. The beach is rocky but the water is warm and we had fun “hunting” for hermit crabs. The sunsets and view are stunning and made for perfect evenings with a nice bottle of wine. We hope to be back again next summer!

Séjour en famille

Le processus de location s’est bien déroulé. Il s’agit d’une superbe maison de plage décorée avec beaucoup de goût et avec une vue magnifique. La plage devant la maison est plutôt bouetteuse mais d’autres belles plages de sable sont accessibles à proximité. La maison est située un peu loin de possibles attractions en nouvelle écosse mais le coin est charmant, rural. La maison est très bien équipée malgré qu’il manque un peu de casseroles et bons couteaux. La maison a un entretien de base mais la propreté n’est pas optimale. Plusieurs problèmes sont non résolus dans la maison: plus d’escalier pour la plage, plus de panneau d’adresse, toilette qui coule, invasion de petites fourmis, beaucoup d’insectes morts et poussière en hauteur et dans les endroits moins accessibles. L’expérience est somme toute très bonne et nous la recommandons.
