This was one of the most well equipped and beautiful rental properties my family has ever stayed at. The property itself far exceeded our expectations (pictures of the home and property do not do it justice!). The home was spacious, uncluttered and provided more than enough room for our large group. Everything we needed for our stay was included, even basic spices and cooking oils. The deck was a favorite spot to hang out!The owner was easy to communicate with and very helpful. I would highly recommend this property.

Incredible property that was perfect for our multigenerational family and dog. The host is wonderful and very communicative, answers questions very promptly and is super helpful.This place is spacious, pristine (super clean and modern), well equipped (we loved the puzzles!), and situated in an excellent location for delicious food and drink (Jost winery, fresh oysters and lobsters, Malagash Cidery, Tatamagouche Brewery). We loved all the comfy seating and the view of the ocean throughout the space. There was a thoughtful mix of places to gather for a meal or board game and places to tuck away for quiet reading. We’d love to come back another summer!

Beautiful area

The home had everything you would need for a wonderful, stress free time. Plenty of room for our multi generational group and lots of space to chill out and relax with others or to find a quiet space and time for yourself. The host has thought of everything.

Beautiful home, amazing sea views, exceptionally clean, amazing communication and recommendations, only downfall was veracious mosquitoes. Great location for fresh oysters and nearby fresh lobster and scallops. Close to groceries, Tatamagouche brewery and Jost winery(exceptional). Wonderful place and very relaxing! Thank you.

Absolutely unbelievable place

If anything, the information on the site undersells what an amazing place this is. It’s spacious, thoughtfully-designed, clean and classy. The wide ocean-front lawn is perfect for kids. The owners and the properry managers have been a pleasure to interact with. A million thumbs up.

This was a wonderful home for us to stay with our extended family. Everything was wonderful - the view to the water was spectacular; the back deck was a great place to hang out; and the kitchen was so well stocked. The entire main floor and upper floor were perfect. We did battle some mosquitos (omnipresent at that time all over NS), but the owners left an arsenal of thermacells, bug spray, electric bug zappers that were all well appreciated. The only detractor was that you should not count on using the bedroom in the basement as there is an overwhelming smell of mould. The owners were obviously trying to deal with it having installed an industrial fan, but I could not stand being down there. Thankfully there was plenty of bed space on the main and upper levels.Overall we had a wonderful stay.

Thank you for reviewing our property, Chris. The bedroom in the basement is not advertised. It’s just there for overflow if anyone needs it however, the ofour in the basement is from the epoxy floor that was done. The only ventilation down there is from the windows, which are very seldom open by guests. We recently had the basement checked for mold and there’s no evidence of any whatsoever. It’s unfortunate.that You couldn’t enjoy the basement however, the top two floors seem to have provided you with what you needed. Thank you very much for the opportunity to host you and your family and for the positive review.

Hey Cindy.

I was emailing you as well. Please send this to VRBO. Our stay was EXCELLENT . I never filled in a survey. Checked my sent box, nothing there. Saw an email on Sept 3 to rate stay. I was busy with other emails & forgot to come back & fill survey. I just tried again & it says I already did it. I never filled in terrible, very intriguing…It was certainly EXCELLENT! Steve
