Guest Testimonials

The property was so peaceful, wonderful, fantastic...a big thank you for everything. It's a little piece of paradise with the sea, the sun, the wind and this beautiful house. Merci beaucoup pour tout!

"Wow, what a wonderful time we had! This beautiful cottage was exactly what we needed. The views are incredible and the amenities are so convenient. We stayed here at Bright View Cottage for a couple of weeks in September. The weather was lovely and the surrounding environment was peaceful. We spent a lot of our time lounging on the main deck, observing the ocean and the wildlife. At nighttime the second level deck is an incredible place to view the stars. We played sports on the surrounding lawn and took walks (and swam!) at the nearby beaches. Great place for bike riding and jogging as there is little to no traffic. We were able to cook every meal at the cottage with a very well equipped kitchen. We especially loved having access to the extensive library both up and downstairs-lots of classics! Overall a fantastic place to reset and take it slow."

The cottage is a great getaway and in a wonderful location. There are so many different parts of the house to explore, and all very tastefully decorated. We loved the stack of games and the nook for watching movies, sitting in the window looking out at the apple trees and rabbits, and also the ease of navigating around the area from the house. We were in NS for a wedding, and it was a perfect launching pad for all activities over the weekend, and a lovely place to wake up and come back to at the end of the night! One tip: Make sure to pick up some provisions on your way, as there's not much in the area.

Harbour Tide House was beautiful, very accurate to the description if not better in person! Location is perfect, big garden and lovely view. Very close to Carter's beach. Would recommend for sure!
