Guest Testimonials

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!

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.

We enjoyed our stay very much at the Castaway Ocean Lodge with a beautiful vista. The perfect place for an adirondack family to unwind for a week. This was our first visit to Nova Scotia. We viewed an eagle soaring! A perfect place for Kayaks and hot tub.Thank you Helen and John.

Crescent Beach

A mile long stretch of white sandy beach.

The water and waves were perfect for an afternoon of skim boarding at the Lockeport beach bash.

I love this picture of Lucas and Halley going for a walk on the Lockeport beach. Such a cute brother and little sister photo

Our entry for the 2011 Sand Castle Contest was "Big Foot". Here Sam is illustrating just how much big "big foot" is! No, we didn't win the contest, but the kids had fun!

This was the winning sand sculpture for 2011. The photo really does not do it justice!

Crescent Beach in Lockeport is a beach we go to frequently. This past summer I took my children to the Beach Bash. We could not have asked for a better day. The weather was truly spectacular! The sun was hot overhead, and little white wisps of clouds dotted the blue skies .

We took blankets, chairs, beach toys and a picnic and spent the day playing in the waves and soaking up the sun. As part of the beach bash, we entered our "big foot" into the sand sculpture contest. Our creation was not creative enough for a prize. The beautiful mermaid created by artist Rebecca Tudor won first prize. I did notice that she came with all sorts of sculpting tools - everything from brushes to chopsticks. Next year we will add sculpting tools to the beach bag. By then the kids will be bigger and hopefully be able to help me carry all the stuff!

Here is a little video I uploaded to YouTube.
