Beautiful!

Our expectations were high from the listing, and our stay exceeded them! This is a beautiful cottage in a great location by the ocean. In mid-March, it was very comfortable, and we were even able to use the deck. We were well stocked with any amenity that we could want, including a delicious loaf of sourdough bread that was waiting for us upon arrival, and it’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into the decor. Checking in and out was easy, and our host was helpful and responsive. Would definitely stay again.

Girls weekend

We had the best time at this sweet rustic cottage. There was everything there that you would ever need. All you need to take is your clothing and food. The cottage has a beautiful view of the ocean, beautiful setting areas. The beds were very comfortable. Our host contacted me before hand to give us perfect directions, and very easy to get into the house. Overall we had a great weekend and definitely hope to return. There was five of us so economically it was very affordable.

We loved our stay!

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage and the location were perfect. Our kids loved the playing in the ocean, around the cottage in the yard, and the fire pit was a hit with them as well. Jeanne (our host) was very helpful and responsive throughout as well.

Great house for large group

There were only two of us, but the house seemed great for a family or group of friends - lots of different spaces to hang out (upstairs deck, front deck looking out onto the bay, large lot, upstairs loft bedroom.) The house was well equipped in kitchen, bathroom and entertainment. Just be aware that the nearest place for groceries and restaurants is Tatamagouche, about 16 km away.

I could live here forever !!!!!

Wow !!! I came to town to handle some very emotionally charged issues and truly needed a peaceful , soul soothing place to call home for 4 days . From the moment I pulled into the driveway , I knew the place was going to be special . It was without a doubt , one of the best experiences I have ever had with vacation rental properties . The cottage exudes charm and warmth , the location is so perfectly situated to watch the sunrise or the sunset every day - there’s panoramic views of the straight from almost every square foot of this place . The locals were so hospitable and the neighbors directly across the road from the cottage were unbelievably kind and welcoming . Any basic supply, implement or comfort was provided by the very thoughtful host . A 3 minute drive net is a walk through the beautiful Rushton Beach area.! A 15 minute drive bright is to the sweetest little village of Tatamagouche - a 20 minute drive to a lavender farm- a 30 minute drive to a beautiful winery . I could live in this slice of heaven provided by Jeanne and John. Thank you so much for sharing your peaceful place with us . It was so special we had to dance the happy dance all around before we headed home (literally !!!!!)

Family Vacation 2024

Wow! What a spectacular cottage. I travelled from Ontario to spend a week with my kids and grandkids, we really enjoyed our time here. The weather was perfect, the views of the ocean were awesome, a short walk along the beach we saw seals basking in the sun and swimming around. The sunsets were amazing every night! There front of the cottage is all windows so if you like to see the ocean there is no shortage of views but the very best view is waking up in the morning in the loft and looking at the ocean and the sky meld together. Priceless! The cottage had everything we needed including lots of comfortable seating areas especially the lounge chair on the roof top patio and the chaise lounge in the beautiful loft bedroom, my little oasis! The kitchen had everything we needed including lots of condiments and spices for cooking. We played lots of board games plus there were plenty of outdoor games as well to enjoy. We biked around the little dirt roads along the ocean and had fun meeting some of the really friendly neighbors. Our favorite spots were Blue Sea beach, Rushton Beach (2 min drive), Tatamagouche Train, Lismore farm and top of the list was the Country Bread Bakery in Brule Point Rd. Jeanne’s special SourDough bread was a lovely welcoming surprise and was delish!!! The communication with the host was excellent. 5 Stars ✨ doesn’t seem to be adequate so I give it 10 out of 5!
