The view at Castaway Ocean Lodge is fabulous as well as the quiet and tranquility. The idea of coming to a place so private and peaceful was very appealing and your spot definately lived up everything it promised! Thank you so much. Hopefully we will be back in the future!
An Idyllic Retreat by the Sea
We travelled with another couple to spend a week last June in this beautiful spot. The ferry from Portland was a ‘mini cruise’ and lots of fun. Landing at Yarmouth, it was a short hour’s drive to Orchard Point. The house, itself, is pristinely clean, and well decorated with a warm, antique feel, but very modern appointments throughout. With two large sunny bedrooms, and two bathrooms, the house is perfect for traveling with friends, couples, or a family with children. The house is situated at the edge of the ocean, on a point with water views from all sides. Sunrise and sunset were spectacular, and even the one rainy day we had was special. You can do as much, or as little as you’d like during a stay. The location is perfect for day trips to Nova Scotia Highlights, including The Bay of Fundy, Halifax, Digby, Gran Pre National Historic Site, numerous Vineyards (We had lunch at Luckett Vineyard overlooking the Bay of Fundy, where everyone gets to make a free call to anywhere from the old red phone booth —spectacular!), and of course, the famed ‘Lighthouse Route’. Only minutes away is the sweet and well preserved loyalist town of Shelburne, with its Saturday farmer’s market, picturesque docks and iconic yellow Dories, still made by master dory makers. We enjoyed nice meals at a number of restaurants in Shelburne, along with a lovely harbor cruise, where we were treated to a steak and lobster dinner while touring the coast. On a few days, we just enjoyed spending the day at the house — kayaking, beach combing, grilling, and of course, having drinks by the giant fire pit at night. Overall, my husband and I agree that our time at Orchard Point was one of the happiest and most relaxing weeks we’ve had in years. A very special place that we hope to get back to soon!
Beach Heaven is a beautiful spot, just steps to the beach, and amazing views. Very comfortable, and the kitchen is super well equipped which was great for us since we love cooking. Would not hesitate to stay again Moose Harbour View is an excellent spot for a getaway. Really beautiful views. Even had deer walk through the yard in the evening.
