Comments: Our stay at Highland Beach House was absolutely perfect. The home is exceptionally well maintained with a beautiful gourmet kitchen, great decks, lots of bedroom space and a lovely fireplace. Truly a home away from home for our Thanksgiving weekend with our daughter who is a student at St. FX University. Our first experience with VRBO Rentals exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend VRBO and this home in particular! A. & D. Curtis, Toronto, OntarioOctober, 2009

Comments: Highland Beach House was the perfect spot for our family summer vacation. The house looks out onto a beautiful stretch of beach that was a great place for the kids to hang out and served up some postcard perfect sunsets. Some days were spent just enjoying the views and others doing day trips including the majestic Cabot Trail. The house was nicely finished with a great de3ck for coffee or dinners overlooking the ocean and the steam shower in the master bedroom was a nice touch. Highly recommended!

Ok- so we are moving to Nova Scotia. That's how much we loved this house, this location, this province.Can't describe all our advertures using the beach house as a base camp, and what a base camp! Dining al fresco every evening- bonefires on the beach- beautiful sunsets every night. A truly magical vacation, enjoyed by all the Bogards.

What a fantastic house! The weather has been so kind to us, that we spent most of the time here, enjoying the beach, the view and the sunsets.The peace and quiet was just what we needed. Our two teenage children went swimming in the sea, lots of nice memories for us. to take back home. Thank-you for a lovely stay.
