Guest TestimonialsWhat a great house! We are here on our honeymoon and although it's not a typical spot for honeymooners, it's been perfect for us. It's so peaceful and quiet and very relaxing. The house is beautiful. The views are spectacular and we truely feel like we are the only people in existence. Thanks for providing such excellent accomodations. We will definitely pass on the word about this beautiful region and house to our friends and family.
Spent a wonderful 5 days at the cottage. Thank you for sharing your amazingly designed house situated in such beautiful surroundings. Clearly a lot of thought and love went into designing and building this place. Also, the sound system is fantastic and helped make our stay even more enjoyable. We hope to return in the future.
It has been a fantastic week in Nova Scotia in this so beautiful Maritimes. And, we truly enjoyed the cottage; very quiet, beautiful garden, well equipped and so clean the day we arrived. A home far from home. One of the few places you keep in mind for the rest of your life. We'd like to thank and express our praise to the owners to have built such a wonderful nest.
My husband and I take a vacation every year on our anniversary!! I had suggested going to Nova Scotia because neither of us have ever been there before and we both have always wanted to go!! I found Castaway Ocean Lodge on Home away website. My husband and I love log cabin homes and try to rent them when we have vacations!! The pictures of the cabin looked beautiful and we were not disappointed. We found it very easy to find. We came upon the cabin, we both said WOW at the same time!! The cabin was beautiful inside and out! This vacation was about relaxing, no agenda!! Each day, I awoke early in the morning, made coffee, and sat outside on the deck, reading, drinking coffee and enjoying the beautiful ocean views!! I took pictures every day of the sunset looking over the ocean!! It was absolutely breathtaking! The cabin had everything you needed for amenities. We travelled to surrounding communities of Shelburne, Liverpool, Barrington and Halifax! I would recommend this cabin for anyone who wants tranquility, serenity and a peaceful vacation!!

Registration Number: RYA-2023-24-03271700062056227-113 LocationOrchard Point Cottage is located on a bold Atlantic headland just six miles East of the historic port town of Shelburne on Nova Scotia's scenic South Shore. Close enough to town for shopping, restaurants, and visits to the museums, theater and festival venues; the cottage is far enough away to guarantee seclusion.Standing atop a long shoreward meadow, Orchard Point Cottage offers dramatic ocean vistas and wildlife viewings from every window - the welcoming sparkle of pristine Jordan Bay to the north and east, the thrill of open Atlantic surf to the south, and a South Shore picture-postcard cove to the west. This awe-inspiring setting was celebrated by writer, poet and naturalist Howard T. Walden's beautifully written "Anchorage Northeast: The story of one man's quest for the unspoiled bounties of nature and their discovery on a stretch of Nova Scotian Coast." Amenities

Everything came as promised, the host was very responsive and helpful with a ton of information on the surrounding area before we arrived. Cannot recommend this place enough, beyond such a beautiful home, the surrounding area is just so nice. Hope to be back next year!!"Max, Toronto, Canada, 2021 "The house was well taken care of, renovated, and modernized. As advertised, it is very private and secluded. Standing on the shore of the ocean, you get to fall asleep to the sound of waves. It is also conveniently located only 15 min from downtown Shelburne, where you can explore the local museums, breweries, and great dining places! If you're a bit more adventurous, 45 min in either direction you will find some of the best beaches in the province (Hawk Point & Carter's Beach) and other hidden gems! Cell reception was hit and miss on the entire peninsula, but WiFi at the house was very good, we were able to stream Netflix without any lag! The host is very responsive and helpful! Overall, a great experience!" Nick, Halifax, Canada, 2021 "Orchard point exceeded our expectations!! We had such an outstanding two-week stay. We hope to return for years to come. We chose this place to isolate (as per NS covid rules) with our 4 month old baby. We had so much room to roam safely, lots of quiet, serene rocky shore to explore, and didn't see anyone except for the neighbour once or twice. It was truly perfect! There were tons of amenities, games to play, noodles for floating in the ocean, and anything else you might need on a beach vacation. Falling asleep to the ocean waves and waking to the perfectly calm water and sometimes even the sunrise was amazing, and the stars were spectacular every night! We couldn't recommend this place enough." Jillian, Toronto, Canada, 2020 |
