The cottage was more rustic than I imagined. We loved the proximity to the beach and the peaceful neighbourhood but the cottage hasn't been well maintained and things are in need of attention. The AC struggled to keep the cottage cool, some of the windows didn't open and those that did had holes in the screens, the shower leaked, the bath towels were torn, the clothesline was broken and the outdoor furniture was rather rickety, We enjoyed our stay in Shediac but I don't feel this cottage is a particularly great deal and wouldn't recommend it for families.
