Guest Testimonials

We had a fantastic time. Such a relaxing atmosphere and inspiring architecture. Sand Hills Park was a great beach... Nice warm water. Thank you for sharing your cottage!

A Hidden Gem

Red Head Retreat is remote enough to make you feel as though you "got away" and close enough to historic attractions and pristine beaches to guarantee a terrific stay rain or shine. I chose this cottage for my ability to bring my pets and for its proximity to the shore line. I would come back in a heart beat. The open concept and decor are modern and homey. The beds and furniture are comfortable. There are snowshoe hares, deer and even porcupines to keep you entertained. I was warned about ticks which are many this year. I simply made sure my cats had the proper treatments and kept an eye on their fur. We had no mishaps. Minor thoughts of improvement would be a fan in the master bedroom, additional outdoor chairs and a supply of fresh chopped wood. Everything else was wonderful. Thank you to Sandy Lane for your attention to detail and to the owner for sharing their cottage.

Castaway Ocean Lodge was a perfect location for exploring the South Shore. The log cabin far exceeded our expectatons. We were very comfortable here. We will definetly be back. We will miss the little critters that entertained us while we enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck. Next year we will book 2 weeks. Thanks for sharing this wonderful place with us.
