Guest Testimonials

What a charming, well-appointed little home is the cottage. I have been so comfortable and content is this historic and lovely setting. It will be very difficult to drive away. Shelburne, especially history-laden is a delight for "land-lubbers" seeking fresh seafood, good (super) accommodations and sightseeing - beaches, museums, period costumes, pleasant faces and helpful info everywhere! Farewell Nova Scotia, and we'll not forget what we've learned about the folks who make this province great, nor those who went before to build its harbour towns.

Fantastic holiday house

Sanderling Beach House is perfect, just as it is described. It's furnished and equipped to a very high standard and has everything you could need, a real home from home (except this home sits on the very edge of the perfect beach!). I can't recommend this beach house highly enough, we had a great time.

The Beach Heaven cottage is an endearing and beautiful space indoors and outdoors, designed for your wellness. The photos look convincing, but it is even better in person.

Words can’t do justice to this space. But a week surrounded the beauty of sand and sea and time spent with my loved ones in this lovely home was energizing and rejuvenating and I would return again and again.

It is everything it claims to be (clean, modern, amazing location just a hop away to the shoreline, breathtaking views), and much more.

Props to John who lives next door, he is very kind and helpful.

GF side note: The fish and chips restaurant flier on the fridge has excellent gluten free fish and chips and fish cakes.

We really enjoyed our stay at Bright View Cottage. The house meets all the criteria, the common area is perfect. It is very well located. The view is beautiful. Thanks!

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.
