Guest Testimonials

Our first day here we open the curtains to be greeted by the view of a Great Blue Heron standing among the rocks of your little beach area!  For our 20th anniversary what we were looking for was a place that offered quiet an seclusion away from very busy lives! Castaway Ocean Lodge was just the ticket!  Quiet relaxing days of no particular schedule made this an anniversary to remember!

We loved our time here at Bird's I View. Even with the fog, we still enjoyed the beautiful beach. Hopefully we get to return sometime.

Thanks so very much for opening this amazing "house-with-a-view!" Sanderling Beach House is utterly amazing! The design totally allows every room to enjoy and celebrate the beauty of its surroundings. Thank you for the special things you've allowed us to use in your home, too; from the fine sheets and towels to quilts and good (Henckel's) knives. Great job! Those things really enhanced our stay. We will definitely be back! Nature's beauty was amazing! Spectacular! Unbelievable!

Can't remember a vacation when we were less ready or willing to pack up and go home! Bay Bluff Cottage is a fabulous cottage and a truly beautiful setting. We have been so comfortable and happy here. Although we have lived a total of more than 60 years in Nova Scotia, we had never truly appreciated the beauty and variety of this part of the south shore before. Thank you so much.

Description

Located in the small close-knit, coastal village of Daniel’s Head, Bird’s I View Cottage offers peace, serenity and a warm and friendly spirit.

Newly renovated, the cottage is bright and cheerful with an open concept, fully equipped kitchen, living room and dining area. There are two bedrooms both with queen size beds, a 4-piece bathroom and laundry facilities. Making the most of its seaside setting, the cottage is decorated with maritime pieces. Soothing paint colours, hard wood floors and lots of windows give the house a sunny disposition. A private deck with a restful view of a tidal wetland alive with ducks, geese and other waterfowl invites you to linger over morning coffee. It’s a short 2-minute walk to beautiful sand dunes and miles of white sandy beaches. Head over to the Daniel’s Head wharf with its fleet of colourful cape islander boats for a yarn with a local fisherman.

Should you want to leave the island, Barrington with its shopping and restaurants is just across the causeway. The historic town of Shelburne is 50 minutes to the east. The Acadian Village in Pubnico is about 40 minutes to the west; while the ferry terminal in Yarmouth is just over an hour away. Halifax International Airport is 3 hours drive.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I have been to the cottage and am quite familiar with the property.

2012 Early Bird Special: Book this cottage by March 30, 2012 for a chance to win.

Location

Bird’s I View Cottage is located on the eastern shores of Cape Sable Island … Canada’s most southerly point. The Island has been designated and internationally recognized as an “Important Birding Area”. With its unique climate, abundant tidal marshes and location along the north-south flight path, Cape Sable Island is an essential habitat for numerous waterfowl including the Atlantic Brant and the endangered Piping Plover. In March and April, tens of thousands of Brant take to the air in a nightly spectacle leaving their feeding grounds at the local salt water marshes to spend the night bobbing in the Atlantic to the east of the island. It is quite a sight!
