Guest Testimonials

Perfect getaway location for relaxation

My husband and I had a wonderful week at Red Head Retreat. it was completely peaceful with only the sounds of gulls, waves on stone at the foot of the bluff and intermittent bird song. The house is spacious, comfortably furnished and open and airy with lots of natural light. The back deck is perfect for enjoying a quiet coffee in the mornings with dawn over the trees and In August it gets full shade in the afternoon, which makes it perfect for lolling in the Adirondack chairs with books and a cold drink. And there always seemed to be a refreshing breeze off the ocean. This was most welcome because we were there during a hot, humid week. But even the foggy mornings seemed special in that house. Alerted by the management company and a previous guest's post, we limited our time on the large back lawn and on woodland trails in the region due to ticks. We took extra medication precautions for our dog and checked her and each other after each excursion. Happy to report that we didn't see a tick all week! But we did see lots of deer. The back lawn area seemed to be an early morning and evening gathering place. At dusk on one day we counted 12 does and fawns of assorted sizes (see photo). We also saw plenty of rabbits, and pheasants, plus a beaver or muskrat by the causeway on the approach road. We are familiar with Nova Scotia's south shore and like to choose a base from which to explore by car and at times by bike or foot. Red Head Retreat is our favourite rental so far. There is no direct beach access from the house but many beautiful beaches - usually very sparsely peopled - within a short driving distance. We also treated ourselves to a final night dinner out at the Charlotte Lane in Shelburne. it was our fourth visit to the restaurant over the past decade and it never disappoints. But a note to other guests who might be inclined to give it a try - do make a reservation. We saw several tourists walk in and be disappointed the evening we were there. Altogether, a lovely week. Thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing the beautiful property with us. It was peaceful and relaxing, changing and comfortable. We couldn't have asked for anything more. It exceeded our expectations. It was a holiday that we will never forget. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

The Beach Heaven cottage is an endearing and beautiful space indoors and outdoors, designed for your wellness. The photos look convincing, but it is even better in person.

Words can’t do justice to this space. But a week surrounded the beauty of sand and sea and time spent with my loved ones in this lovely home was energizing and rejuvenating and I would return again and again.

It is everything it claims to be (clean, modern, amazing location just a hop away to the shoreline, breathtaking views), and much more.

Props to John who lives next door, he is very kind and helpful.

GF side note: The fish and chips restaurant flier on the fridge has excellent gluten free fish and chips and fish cakes.
