Guest Testimonials Cottage was very clean and spacious. It has an outstanding view and not far from the beach. Beautiful, peaceful location!
Lovely renovated cottage in beautiful coastal location!
Red Head Retreat was open, bright and clean as seen on the website pictures. Nicely furnished; fabulous views from interior and from deck. Lots of opportunity for walking and viewing nature. Our dogs loved it too. Pre-visit information package including driving directions were very thorough (use them not GPS for the last bit) Red Head is absolutely peaceful and relaxing. A wonderful place to get away from it all. Grocery stores are in Shelburne or Barrington Passage, both about 30 minutes away. We would certainly go back again! We've had the best week here! We had less than a 2 hour drive here but we seem so far away from home. No stress. Relaxed, easy days. Between this house and Carter's Beach we barely went anywhere. We spent our mornings down on the rocks by the ocean. We saw 2 otters our first day here. We read and drank coffee outside in the various places that have chairs. We ate all our meals here and felt right at home. It feels like our cottage. We will definitely be back. Thank you!
We arrive here after a long drive. Francis Louis House is lovely and romantic; made us feel extremely happy and we rested very quickly before running down to the beach. When we got to the water, we were amazed that the sand actually is white! We looked around and we knew that we had found the perfect vacation spot. A little into our visit we wondered why people were crazy about the Bahamas and no so fanatic about Canada's hidden paradise. For the last three nights, we made bonfires and cooked our dinners on the beach. The coals looked like the sky's stars and the sound of the waves made it seem too good to be true. We really enjoyed our stay.

DescriptionWith a population of under seven hundred people, Lockeport is a small town in a spectacular setting. Settled in the 1700's, the town relies on the fishing industry for its livelihood. Numerous wharves provide plenty of photographic opportunities of working boats as well as a chance to talk to some of the hardy folk that fish on them.The long stretch of white sand that forms the outer edge of Lockeport's causeway is better known as Crescent Beach. At one end of the beach is the Crescent Beach Centre. With a tourist information center, snack bar, washrooms and gift shop, the Centre is a welcome pit stop during a full day on this lively kid-friendly beach. Crescent Beach Centre organizes a number of different activities: Beach parties, Sand Scultpure contests, and an annual Sea Derby. For the history buff - Nova Scotia's only Registered Historic Streetscape is worth investigating. Made up of five houses built by descendants of Jonathan Locke between 1836 and 1876, the houses offer an interesting cross section of historical architecture with excellent examples of Colonial, Georgian and Victorian styles. A walking-tour guidebook is available at the Little School Museum. The museum has in its collection a variety of artifacts relating to early life in the community, a replica of an early school room and a marine room. If you are coming with children and don't want to spend the whole day on the beach, there is a great playground in the centre of town. AddressLockeport, Nova ScotiaGoogle Map |
