A view that is beyond compare. We had a peaceful stay at this little cottage, packed with luxurious extras. From expresso machine, Ninja foodie, every Kitchen accessory you could dream of and house coats for the hot tub. Due to wind, we didn't spend much time on the upper deck but it was well appointed.We had a wonderfully relaxing time.

The property was better than described online. It was a perfect spot for a family with a well-stocked kitchen, outdoor hot tub and deck space, volleyball and corn hole games as well as an outdoor fire pit, hammock and swing. We slept very soundly in the cabin as it is located in a quiet area. The upstairs patio housed comfortable patio furniture and a propane fire table to overlook the ocean. Having laundry at the cabin was a bonus as was the AC unit on the main floor and fans upstairs. Wifi was excellent as was our ability to stream from our streaming services to the TV. Board games and a karaoke machine (speaker and mic) were also a hoot. Dishwasher was a nice convenience as well as water/ice in the fridge. Highly recommend for a family getaway.

It truly means so much to hear that you and your family enjoyed the cottage and all of the little touches we’ve put into making it a comfortable and special place to stay.

Perfect ocean views

This was just the most wonderful cottage! Sitting in a hot tub while staring at those views was worth every penny. And sipping a morning coffee on the patio upstairs was just as great. Cozy, comfy and quiet while having tons to do and see. Definitely have to go back!

Such a beautiful spot. Breathtaking views out every window. Very comfortable beds, well equipped and close to town.

The immaculately kept and fully detailed cabin, sits on top of a hill with an incredible view! If you during the day is truly eight islands. The view at night is a stunning star field. My wife and I went here to celebrate our wedding and have our honeymoon. And the cottage was perfect for this moment in our lives we hope to return again next year, the online listing for the cottage is accurate. The cottages very well kept and equipped with essentials, luxuries, and even a nice telescope to watch the stars. Highly recommended!

Our stay at 8 Island View Cottage was perfect. Chelsi was responsive and helpful throughout every step of our booking and stay. She answered our questions and gave recommendations of things to do. The cottage is great and was very clean. The large hottub was so helpful in loosening our aches and pains after a day of scouring the beeches. The views are breathtaking and unmatched by any place we have stayed. The ability to blend relaxation with outdoor activities made our stay very memorable. Parrsboro is a great small town. Most of your necessities can be covered by the stores in town plus there are some other nice shops focusing on original creative works and antiques. Make sure to get to Partridge Island. We had so much fun beachcombing there. Our pretty rock collection has blossomed.

The property is fine but needs some serious updating. The furniture (couches) were not appealing and were very worn looking. Cleanliness needs to be improved. Only for two people.

Loved it

We stayed 5 days in Sept. Loved the area, lots to do. Highlights Amazing tides, harbour, Ottawa House run by volunteers and Partidge Island, Cape d’Or, golf, exploring, Amore pizza, nearby beaches (car) We were there to relax - Loved the deck, view just like the photo - private and quiet during the week, some neighbours came on the weekend. Coop grocery in town handy. Loft bedroom fine, bed comfortable, great to have washer/dryer. Ceiling fans. Was cool at night when we were there, but no need for woodstove.

Great spot, beautiful views and really sweet cottage that had everything we needed.

Close to town, nice and clean and overall great cottage to get away to! Owner was super easy to deal with and really has a place to be proud of. Definitely worth the money and she hasn't missed anything. The only thing I wish I had was a fluffy housecoat to relax in on the wonderful deck overlooking the water. Will definitely book again! Loved the loft for sleeping and had enough sleeping room for my 2 kids on main floor.

Beautiful

We loved staying at Chelsi's cottage and it had everything we needed for our stay. The view of the Bay of Fundy was stunning and we had fun watching the tides go in and out. We had hoped to do some exploring of the area but our time was cut short due to another commitment. Chelsi was easy to communicate with. We did have a bit of trouble finding it due to our GOS but we're eventually able to get to it. I would totally recommend staying here if you are exploring this specific area of Nova Scotia!
