A perfect getaway, house is spacious, comfortable and well stocked. The property is beautiful with a huge lawn, lots of hardwood trees which are dazzling in the fall, and the water is right there, lots of water birds. The large deck is a lovely place to relax and read.

Wonderful cottage near the straight. Well equipped/stocked. Plenty of older board games and a foosball table that my 5 year old loved. Beautiful views and a small dock to sit on. Being close to the ocean it is quite windy all the time and there were some mosquitoes. The water in front of the cottage is relatively shallow and you can canoe kayak or paddle board the fingers without being in the open ocean. Great retreat from the city. Internet was fast, host responded to any questions, super easy and laid back.

Outstanding. Everything you could possibly need was provided.

The whole family including the dogs enjoyed their stay. The owner's relatives were extremely helpful with launching and removing our boat from the water. They built a dock before we arrived! The property is situated on a protected inlet. Neighbors are very friendly. The property is close to a malor town fir shopping and mesls out. Cl9se to the Cabot Trail which is an incredible venture. Couldn't be happier about our stay. Great value and totally enjoyable.
