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.

Absolutely Outstanding Stay!We had an incredible experience at this beautiful ocean view cottage which served as our home base for our family reunion. The location is truly breathtaking, offering both stunning sunrises and sunsets right from the comfort of the property. The cottage itself is exceptionally well designed—modern, clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need or want during your stay.What made the visit even more special were the hosts, Lee and Charlotte. They were extremely responsive, warm, and accommodating, going out of their way to ensure we had a memorable and comfortable stay. Their hospitality truly made a great trip unforgettable.Highly recommended—this place is a gem, and we can't wait to return!

Relaxing Retreat

My family had a wonderful week in Nova Scotia. The beach house had everything we needed to feel comfortable and relaxed. We started each day with quiet walks on the beach, looking for treasure and soaking in the calm. The private beach was a dream — we spent our evenings watching the sunset and our nights under a sky full of stars. My daughters, who range in age from 14 to 25, had such a great time swimming and sunbathing. The upper deck was our go-to spot for coffee, reading, and taking in the incredible view. This place gave us the kind of memories we’ll talk about for years to come.

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.

House is a great layout for families with teenagers/young adults with basement family room with walk out to huge lawn for playing sports. Lee was so helpful in answering all our questions before we arrived and touched base with us during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed.

Oceanfront gem that lives up to its photos

Amazing and meticulously decorated house overlooking the ocean. Beautiful ocean views from many rooms and colorful sunsets. The house is very new, clean and well-equipped. It has the design and feel of a boutique hotel. Our kids enjoyed the spacious front lawn and fire pit. Truly waterfront and beach is accessed from a short path (shared with approx two neighbors) at the side of the property. Beach stretches for at least a km for wonderful evening walks! A real gem and I hope we get the opportunity to stay here again.

Loved This Property!

We stayed at Lee's home for a glorious week. My husband and I, our three adult children, our son-in-law and our 5 month old grandson. This house is set up so that it is as easy to be together in a group as it is to have alone time. We picked blueberries down the road, walked the beach every morning, played in the ocean, watched for sunsets, had a day trip to Antigonish and family game night every night. It was a beautiful house whose pictures couldn't even do it justice. Thanks Lee for sharing your beautiful home with us!

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.

Even Better Than the Pictures!

First I need to say that although the pictures are great they do not prepare you for the real life experience. It is even more amazing in person so the 4 rating for accuracy of listing is a bit cheeky! The minute you are at the door you get the sense of what is to come. The home is spacious and welcoming yet feels intimate. There is plenty of room for friends and family to be together and have their own space. Everything you can think of has been taken care of. The kitchen was a pleasure to cook in because you remain part of the group and there are beautiful views wherever you turn. Lee was responsive to my questions and helpful prior to arrival. Not a morning person not so did see every sunrise but stopped every evening to catch the fantastic sunsets! Thank you for sharing this piece of paradise.
