Guest Testimonials

The property is such a lovely place! We really loved the place and shall come back. It couldn't be better.

You were right, Sanderling Beach House is a little piece of paradise; the house; the beach; the waves; the little towns; the other beaches. Everything was perfect. I enjoyed your home on the beach!

We enjoyed our stay very much at the Castaway Ocean Lodge with a beautiful vista. The perfect place for an adirondack family to unwind for a week. This was our first visit to Nova Scotia. We viewed an eagle soaring! A perfect place for Kayaks and hot tub.Thank you Helen and John.

We've totally enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It is so lovely and the surroundings are absolutely gorgeous. We want to thank you for allowing us the opportunity to use your home this past week. We did the lighthouse tour from Yarmouth to Lockeport. We did the whale watching tour and saw 2 humpback whales and one Minke.

Crescent Beach

A mile long stretch of white sandy beach.

The water and waves were perfect for an afternoon of skim boarding at the Lockeport beach bash.

I love this picture of Lucas and Halley going for a walk on the Lockeport beach. Such a cute brother and little sister photo

Our entry for the 2011 Sand Castle Contest was "Big Foot". Here Sam is illustrating just how much big "big foot" is! No, we didn't win the contest, but the kids had fun!

This was the winning sand sculpture for 2011. The photo really does not do it justice!

Crescent Beach in Lockeport is a beach we go to frequently. This past summer I took my children to the Beach Bash. We could not have asked for a better day. The weather was truly spectacular! The sun was hot overhead, and little white wisps of clouds dotted the blue skies .

We took blankets, chairs, beach toys and a picnic and spent the day playing in the waves and soaking up the sun. As part of the beach bash, we entered our "big foot" into the sand sculpture contest. Our creation was not creative enough for a prize. The beautiful mermaid created by artist Rebecca Tudor won first prize. I did notice that she came with all sorts of sculpting tools - everything from brushes to chopsticks. Next year we will add sculpting tools to the beach bag. By then the kids will be bigger and hopefully be able to help me carry all the stuff!

Here is a little video I uploaded to YouTube.
