Perfect House, Perfect Place

Our second time at Sanderling Beach House, and we couldn't dream for a better place. We love Nova Scotia for the untouched nature, and unspoiled beaches, lakes, and forest, but high standard accommodations are some times hard to find. Sanderling beach house is the best place we could have: charming, on the edge of the Ocean, tasteful, functional, very well appointed, clean. A wonderful feeling of home pervades the house. The kitchen is fully equipped, ready for baking, cooking, BBQing, etc. The 3 bedrooms are large, with comfy beds. The beach is long with fine silver sand, and hardly anybody is ever around. Our children and ourselves spent wonderful days playing and swimming (yes, swimming!). The night skies are among the most beautiful and starry in the whole planet! UNESCO's Starlight Foundation declared the area part of North America's first Starlight Preserve, on top of the designation as a protected biosphere!

The location is unbelievable - a lovely sandy beach within short walking distance. View from Bright View Cottage across the bay and gorgeous sunsets as promised. Best thing to be able to lie in bed and see the ocean! Cottage comfortable and well provisioned with everything you might need. Instructions clear and detailed and the cottage binder contained lots of helpful local information. Location is very private and access to beach would be difficult to impossible for anyone with mobility issues.

Simply wonderful

We had a wonderful time staying at the Elm Tree Cottage. The outside is deceptive as the inside is spacious with plenty of amenities for the traveling couple. The master bedroom was large with queen bed, Bureau, an armoire for clothes storage. The bathroom was equally large with an updated walk in shower, toilet and sink. The kitchen was complete with dishwasher, washer / dryer, pots pans dishes and everything else you need. The living room was especially nice due to the pull-out Queen sofa bed which came in handy because I snore. The eating kitchen sits four comfortably as well as the walk out deck with screened in porch with seating for 4. We had a pleasant week and look forward to coming back to stay. The location of the cottage is on a quiet street just off 103 and perfect for taking day trips in the surrounding Nova Scotia area.

Your own world

It's the third time I've stayed in this snug little house on its very own bay. Ragged Island Retreat is like a ship on the sandy, tidal lake -- a short kayak trip from the crashing ocean beach at Hemeons Head, and along a strip of land protected by the Nature Conservancy. I could watch the changing waters, and birds overhead, all day. Cool mists for evening walks and sun-heated swimming in the deep salt water pools of the "lake" are both amazing. This area is so beautiful -- rural and wild, yet a short drive from the town of Lockeport and the beautiful harbor of Shelburne, and the long sand beach at Louis Head.

Liverpool

Brightly coloured buildings on Liverpool's main street.

Max and Sam love this pirate ship play ground in Liverpool.

Description

History:
Originally a Mi'kmaq settlement, the Town of Liverpool was founded in 1759 by the New England Planters. During its heyday, between 1749 and 1812, the town was a hot bed of pirates and privateers. Privateers were given permission from the crown to seize enemy ships and their cargoes. The most famous of these were the Rover, the Lucy and the Liverpool Packet.

Every Canada Day weekend (July 1st) Liverpool hosts the Privateer Days - a lively festival that celebrates the town's "privateering" history. Events include boat races, walking tours, a historical reenactment, a rum run, street parade, live music and fireworks.

There are a couple of interesting museums in Liverpool. The Hank Snow Country Music centre features some of Hanks' personal memorabilia, including his 1947 convertible Cadillac. The Rossignol Cultural Centre appeals to kids of all ages. The Guide Sports, Hunting, Fishing and Mi'Kmaq Museum features images and artifacts of early guiding and native life. There are folk art, outhouse and apothecary museums. The Wildlife Museum has an 18-foot giraffe, musk ox, polar bear, wolf, caribou and other taxidermies. Outside there are teepees, an early settler's cabin, a yurt and a re-creation of Maude Lewis' tiny house.

Fort Point Lighthouse park is worth a visit. The park is open year-round with picnic tables, interpretive panels and a scenic view of Liverpool Harbour and Coffin Island Lighthouse. From mid-May to mid-October, costumed interpreters meet visitors, there is an audiovisual presentation by a previous light keeper's son, as well as a gift shop, viewing binoculars, washrooms, and parking. Guided tours of Liverpool are available from Fort Point Lighthouse Park. Brochures are available from the Queens County Museum and the Visitor Information Centre.

If you are traveling with children, Liverpool has an excellent play ground on the waterfront.
