This property is absolutely stunning! As good as it looks in the listing, it’s exponentially better in person. Check-in and out was simple and the owners were quick to respond to any questions. There are several beaches to check out close to the house (including the one on property) that are great for play and hunting sea glass. We had a pleasant surprise when we realized that the beach on property is also a great spot to view starfish! Our family had the trip of a lifetime and could not have been happier with our stay. Thank you for sharing such an incredible place!

This was the perfect place for our family vacation. We had two older adults, four young adults, 2 children, and a baby. The house was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The property was beautiful with lots to do. We spent a lot of time on the water kayaking and looking for sea shells with the kids. There was also a great games room and lots of toys for the kids. There was also a high chair and crib for the baby. Lots of the bedrooms had blackout curtains too so we had no issues with the baby napping. I would recommend this spot to anyone. We're already talking about coming back.

Excellent stay for a family getaway

Private, clean , spacious and well stocked for all our needs ! The two floors were terrific to provide lots of room for babies, children and adults . The bedrooms were comfy and cosy with bathrooms that came in handy for all of us. Their were toys, games and activities provided and that made our stay so enjoyable. The outside area was perfect with a fun swing set, lots of room to run around, water play and bonfires! Lots of fun and special memories for our entire family! Thank you very much. We would highly recommend this stay to anyone!!👍 Robert and Betty Rose Landry

A taste of tranquility

Three generations, 6 adults and 4 children ranging from 3 years to 4 months. My little grandson summed it up beautifully “this is the best vacation ever”. The accommodations were perfect for us both inside and out. The kitchen is well supplied with everything we needed, great open concept especially having young children. The swing set was a huge hit and also the abundance of toys to choose from. We loved sitting on the deck facing the water especially when the sun was setting. The paddle board and kayaks were another hit with easy access to the water. We would love to return some day.

Amazing property and hosts !

We are a large group of friends who wanted to ride our motorcycles around the Cabot Trail. West Tracadie Island was the perfect spot for us. It was close to the Canso Causeway, had enough beds for everyone in our party, a large driveway to park our 2 cars, 2 trucks, 2 trailers and 7 motorcycles. The house was immaculate and the caretakers Della and Wilf were absolutely wonderful. They are so friendly and helpful, just all around terrific people. Thank you Robin for allowing us to stay at your house !

Stay for the sunsets!

What a wonderful stay! The cottage is large with a clean, well stocked kitchen, with every pot, pan, dish etc. you need. The open concept kitchen and living room was bright and beautiful overlooking the water with a huge sofa. The bathrooms were large, two with showers, one with shower and bath. The only suggestion I would make is to add some anti slip stickies to the showers. I am disabled and found it a bit scary to balance because the shower floors were slippery, although there was a small handle to hold onto. It was great to have the washer and dryer on the main floor too. The master bedroom is a dream with a super comfortable king sized bed , a walk-in closet and a huge bathroom! I loved waking up with beautiful views of the ocean and the pines (you can watch the sunsets there also). All the bedrooms are clean and the decor was beautiful (I felt like I was in Martha Stewart’s beach house!) There is plenty of room for loads of people. I loved having my coffee sitting out on the huge deck overlooking the water. They have thought of everything in the house, we wanted for nothing! There is a lovely deck on the waters edge with plenty of seating. You will definitely need water shoes because it’s rocky and oysters are abundant (hint…collect a bunch and boil them up for a fresher than fresh appetizer) but we had great swim sessions. I would say that best thing we experienced was the sunset we saw while out kayaking (there are three kayaks and a paddle board for use), incredibly peaceful! We LOVED our stay, highly recommended!
