We had an amazing stay at the cottage. It is very a comfortable place to relax, enjoy the beautiful scenery and to completely unwind. Also, ideally located for the area. We recommend the Keji seaside park, Summerville Beach, Quarterdeck Bar and Grill, and Lunenburg.
It was an absolute pleasure to stay at Neptune's Rise!
Before our trip Helen gave me an extensive package of information about Shelburne and Nova Scotia and details about the house. If you’re going to use the stand-up paddle boards don’t forget to sign your liability waiver! It was so much fun to take them out on the open water.
The house is quite secluded and it’s gorgeous! The photos in the listing are very accurate.
I was pleased to see so many personal touches in Neptune’s Rise. For instance, there were tons of games and books to help you pass the time without phone, internet, or tv. There were lots of pastimes for kids too, such as colored pencils, books, and toys. The kitchen was stocked with all the pots, pans, and utensils that you’d need to prepare home-cooked meals. I was a bit concerned about a lack of kitchenware, especially due to COVID-19, but we found everything that we needed. Importantly, there was a percolator and a French press for coffee in the morning.
The bedrooms were spacious and had a great deal of storage, and the beds were very comfortable! I thought the overall decor was a nice blend of modern and personal touches.
We didn’t spend a ton of time in Shelburne because we spent our days going to beaches and lighthouses around the shore. But, we did have a great time at Boxing Rock and their shandy is the perfect summertime drink. I also recommend: the tomato soup at the Keeper’s Kitchen at the Cape Forchu lighthouse, Crescent Beach in Lockeport, and hiking at Thomas Raddall Provincial Park.
This was our most memorable experience from Neptune’s Rise …
We wanted to try the paddle boards so we brought them down to the water and started paddling around near the house. When we got our sea legs we decided to paddle to a sandy beach across the cove. It was a bit of a jaunt, and the waves made it a bit difficult to land on the beach, but it was well worth it. On our way back we spotted a seal who was watching us from a distance. The seal must have been curious because it swam closer and closer. I guess the seal’s curiosity drew the attention of its friends because before long there was a group of 5 seals! At this point I was trying to remember anything I could about the predatory tendencies of seals and I tried to keep my mind on getting back to shore. We paddled home without incident and we were followed by the curious seal. That seal watched as I floated near the shore and drank my shandy. When it realized I wasn’t going to do anything interesting it joined its friends and swam back out to sea.
We had a great week at the cottage. We really enjoyed our down time. Relax, relax, relax...We went to Roseway beach; a wonderful beach, nice and peaceful. We also saw deer in the front several times. Thanks!

Beach HeavenModern Beach House on secluded beachDescriptionBeach Heaven House is a striking, modern beach house with a whimsical personality that is evident from the moment you reach the driveway. Look up and you will see some of Port Mouton's namesakes. The story goes that in 1604 Samuel de Champlain, the famous explorer (and later founder of Quebec City), anchored in Port Mouton`s protected bay to chart the Nova Scotia coastline. The sheep on board were so excited to see land that they jumped overboard and tried to swim to shore. All were lost, except for a plucky couple who made it and are now living on the roof of Beach Heaven House.Built in 2010, Beach Heaven is a contemporary design with floor to ceiling picture windows running the width of the house. Overlooking the Port Mouton Bay, the views are of blue skies, white sands and shimmering seas dotted with islands. Upstairs, the space is dominated by the sun-filled open concept, kitchen, living and dining room. The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, a full selection of dishes, pots and pans, kettle and coffee maker (drip). The living room is playfully appealing with futuristic leather Leolux furnishings. The dining area has custom table. Patio doors lead from the dining room out to a solarium and from there to an upper deck that runs the width of the living space and features a couple of lounger chairs and tempered glass rails so as not to obstruct the incredible view. Adjacent to the living room is a sunny office with glorious ocean views. Beyond that there is a large master bedroom with two double beds. The room features a wall of windows that overlooks the beautiful sandy beach. Overhead skylights make it possible for you to fall asleep listening to the sound of waves while watching the night sky pass by. There are black out blinds if you are not an early riser. On the ground floor there is one other bedroom, a large media room, a small den and a utility room with laundry facilities. The bedroom has two twin beds that are configured into a king size bed and an ensuite 3 piece bathroom. The den has a pull out couch that can be used as an additional bedroom. It is from this level that you can access a small private courtyard with a screened-in sun room.

Guestbook"This relaxing beachfront home is a seaside sanctuary immersed in nature. Modern framed views overlooking the treetops, sand dunes, and pristine white beach. A perfect getaway for anyone looking to recharge. We were spoiled with wood fired saunas stoked by our hosts. We would highly recommend this stylish home to anyone looking for an ocean adventure retreat."Caralee, White Point, Canada, 2022 By far one of the best cottages ever rented. We stayed Labor Day weekend and it was an absolutely dream. The weather was perfect. We got to enjoy the beach most days and the evenings were perfect weather for the hot tub and sauna. We knew at the time of booking we would love this property. The kitchen was fully stocked with every utensil/pot/pan you would need. There were things we forgot to bring and they had it there! The detail they've put into this place truly made our stay amazing. We will for sure be back :) Andrea, Halifax, Canada, 2020 |
