| This place is a hidden gem! Completely private, peaceful, has everything you need. We thoroughly enjoyed the use of the kayaks and fire pit as well as being able to bring our dog with us. We saw lots of different kinds of birds and seals, too. Thank you, Duncan & Connie!

| So relaxing. Just sitting on the deck looking at the ocean, no traffic, no noise other than nature. Everything you could possibly need including the biggest blanket I've ever seen for the best nap ever. The hosts were wonderful, came by the first afternoon to see if we needed anything and to get the kayaks. We will definitely be back next year.

| Perfect private little cottage with everything you need & a beautiful view! We had an amazing week here(and I totally meant to write a review earlier). Our kids(7,6 & 2 at the time)spent hours after hours everyday down exploring the beach & looking for crabs. They also had plenty of room outside to run around which was nice! I could have sat down there by the water all day everyday, it's so peaceful.
We loved the surrounding areas as well, we went into Canso a couple times. We checked out Chapel Gully Trail, Black Duck Cove Day Park as well as Tor Bay.
We'd recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a place to stay in NS - the cottage, location, & owners were all fantastic!

| This spot is beautiful and peaceful. Located on a peninsula, with private beach access, it is private and tranquil. Lots of opportunities for watching birds, seals and exploring treasures on the beach. Our puppy loved running off leash on the large property and on the beach. The cottage is clean and inviting with all needed amenities. Duncan and Connie are helpful and available if needed. We would love to return. If you crave a relaxing vacation as you watch the tides ebb and flow, this is the perfect location.
