We’ve stayed here two years in a row and we had a great experience both times! The host is excellent, the property is beautiful, very clean and well maintained.
The most peaceful place I have been so far. The hay field, the waterfront and the rental in itself are amazing. Perfect for those who truly love nature.
This place is amazing, the view is beautifull and very quiet all what we need was there and more! For beautifull vacation it’s the perfect destination!
Beautiful quiet location. Private space to retreat and unwind. Modern interior with bedroom, living room, kitchen, and bathroom with all amenities anyone could need. AC and Wifi plus additional hospitable touches to make us truly welcome. Hot tub, outdoor fireplace and large property to explore made our week-long stay a pleasure. Beautiful sunsets every evening.
You can tell that the cottage was well thought out. It was like a home away from home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Melissa and Luc welcomed us with a beautiful fruit basket and wine. Definitely would recommend. Thank you so much for your hospitality!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the SeaCan! It was very calm and relaxing. Location was great and the hot tub was the icing on the cake! Thanks for sharing your little slice of heaven with us!
From the moment the sparkling solar lights beckoned me from the road, I knew i was not only in the right place, but a magical place. This place is a dream vacation spot, the ambiance of light and the clean space made a warm welcome. The property itself was more than i could have hoped for. Private but spacious, lots of places for me and my dog to explore. The little add-ons like a cozy robe to get to and from the spacious hot tub, the bottle of Magnetic Hill wine to savour, and the bed and bed sheets mixed with the river air made for the best sleep ive had in years. The nearby town of Bouctouche is a beautiful town with many things to do and experience. If i could rate the entire experience 20/10 I certainly would.

What a beautiful review 🥹
Makes our hearts very happy.
❤️❤️❤️
An amazing oasis for couples looking to get away and relax. Completely private overlooking fields of wild flowers. The place is everything it advertises to be. Clothing storage is somewhat limited but one really doesn't need much as most of the area spots are casual. The hot tub is an amazing addition and the host are very attentive to your needs.
The hosts thought about everything that someone could forget. Nothing was missed! Hosts are very accommodating and kind. Definitely recommend this gem!

Great guests, easy to communicate with and very clean, neat and tidy! Cleaned very well prior to leaving! Love to have them back anytime.
Coming from the noise and congestion of the GHTA, it was a pleasure to spend a week surrounded by fields and close to the water. The 'shipping container' was beautifully renovated. It was comfortable, very well equipped and Melissa and Luc were very responsive to questions. We were greeted by a fruit bowl and some basic food items like milk, cream, coffee and OJ. Really a 5 ***** experience. Thank you Melissa and Luc.
This spot was a layover for my husband and me while traveling to Nova Scotia. We took a chance on an unconventional looking rental, and are so glad that we did! This set the bar very high for the remaining places that we stayed (which for the most part, did not compare!), and even with the weather less than perfect, we still enjoyed every moment of our stay! So modern, clean, welcoming, and peaceful! We had fun exploring the area and ended our day paddle boating on the river and then soaking in the hot tub! Perfect start to our vacation. Thank you again Melissa and Luc, you are superb hosts!
