Guest Testimonials

Thank you for a wonderful stay in your beautiful cottage.  The views are breathtaking and we really appreciated the fully equipped kitchen.  We hope to be back to this area very, very soon.

 This place is incredibly beautiful. Summerset Cottage is spotless, modern and beautifully decorated. It has everything you’re likely to need. It takes only 3 minutes to walk to Summerville Beach. You can hear the waves rolling onto the beach from the house. It’s incredible. I’d love to go back again.

  Amazing!
Can't say enough about how wonderful this property is! Family Friendly, well equipped, comfy beds, and one of the best beaches around. Our boys (aged 6 & 9) made good use of all the beach toys provided, flew kites, played soccer, and barely touched their iPods once. Sanderling Beach House is a real gem and our week in Nova Scotia was amazing! We can't wait to go back and would highly recomend it to anyone.

 Loved our stay at Sapphire Cottage. An old home making you feel right at home. Good location for day trips to explore the southern shores and close to some lovely beaches.

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.
