Guest Testimonials

We arrived at Sanderling Beach House early afternoon and were overwhelmed by the wonderful beach. The house is perfect; the beach even more so. The seals were elusive but we did manage to see them every day. We made some day trips, had some beach dys, water was frigid, and managed a round of golf at River Hills in Clyde River. On the front 9, the view of the river is beautiful but it was the scenery on the 11th and 15th that was breath taking. We loved our stay here, the views, the isolation of the cottage and the friendliness of the people we have encountered on our travels.

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.

Great place and location for privacy.
The cottage is bright and cheery.
Fishing, biking, hiking and even golf not too far away.
Best of all, dog friendly so our 4 legged buddies had fun too.

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.
