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!

Summerside, PEI, 2009
Nestled in a beautiful location and only a short walk from Carter's beach (which looks almost tropical). Sea Star Cottage is perfect for honeymooners or a large family. Would definitely recommend it for a relaxing and refreshing vacation!

We had a fantastic time at Bay Bluff Cottage! Such a relaxing atmosphere and inspiring architecture. Sand hill park was a great beach. Nice warm water. Thank you for sharing your cottage!

Shipwright's Cottage, the area and Nova Scotia are all fantastic! One week was not enough. The deer visited everyday and appeared to be watching us more than we were watching them. Thank you for sharing this cozy and comfortable home.

Summer in September

Locals know it, and so should you!

Ask a local what the best month of the summer is and most will say September. Unlike other parts of Canada, where the first nip of fall is in the air, summer temperatures linger on in Nova Scotia. As the Gulf Stream moves closer, it brings warmer water temperatures, blue skies and sunny days. So, it you are not constrained by school schedules, consider coming in September where you will enjoy not only a beautiful time of year, but also lighter traffic, and reduced accommodation costs.

Lockeport

A Spectacular Beach

This one kilometer white sand beach is one of the most popular beaches in along the South Shore.

Shelburne

The seaside town of Shelburne with its Historic District, marina and yacht club, performing arts centre, Provincial Park, museums, shopping and fine dining, is a favourite destination for locals and tourists alike.
