Guest Testimonials

We loved this place. 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 Orchard Point enough, beyond such a beautiful home, the surrounding area is just so nice. Hope to be back next year!!

This was our first trip to Nova Scotia and we enjoyed every minute of it.  Castaway Ocean Lodge turned out to be everything we had hoped for and more.  The view, the firepit, the kayaks, the waterfront were all perfect!  Thanks for a great family memory.

Wow! We wanted peace and tranquility and got it! Our cottage was a marvelous place to escape internet, phones etc! We were so fortunate to have a full moon and high and low tides! Wonderful. We were constantly amused at the many sea birds, deck squirrels and hares. Weather was wonderful despite the mid October time frame! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and rested our souls! Just to make sure we experienced the cabin in all weather conditions, our last day provided us with a wonderful wild storm. We sat comfortably inside while wind and rain raveged the roof and trees! It was hard not to be mystified by the ever changing gray cloud banks and gusts of wind as it played with the surface of the water. Better than satillite TV!

Solitude and Nature
Red Head Retreat has been the best house our family has rented yet. It is a quaint cape cod that was perfect for our family of four. We loved the most the open layout on the main floor with only the center staircase being any obstruction. The back wall is filled with windows giving a 180 degree view east and north of the ocean - incredible morning sunshine to sit, read and enjoy a cup of coffee (amazing sunrises!). The had a large deck with two rocking chairs and a grill - a table would be beneficial but we ate our breakfasts in the morning sun on the floor of the deck. We would have spent more time in the yard if it weren't for the ticks which happened to be bad this summer (we needed to get a flea and tick collar for our dog beyond her monthly treatments which did the trick). Even though there are a few house next door to Red Head, we didn't see a sole the entire week. We enjoyed the adventurous walks hopping along the boulders on the shore (no beach but a great one less than 10 minutes away, Roseway). Again, we had the vast shoreline to ourselves to explore. Red Head was truly a treat away from the hustle and bustle of our busy DC lives.
