Guest Testimonials 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. We had a fantastic stay at Francis Louis House on our honeymoon. It's a relaxing and beautiful! This is a truely a unique place and we enjoyed every moment here.
What an amazing little Shangrila in the Port Joli Basin. Thank you for a wonderful holiday. We were awestruck with the picture postcard perfect scenery in and around Port Joli. What a bonus to have a fully stocked kitchen and library and a deck to take in the sounds of the ocean. We also witnessed the majestic bald eagle soar over head; truly unforgetable. We'll be sure to tell our family and friends back home what a great place the Francis Louis House is.
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.

Helen and the owners were very accommodating to our needs leading up to the stay and during as well. The location is amazing, and we loved having a spotting scope and binoculars to watch wildlife. The house is a good size and could have easily accommodated more than our family of four, beds are comfortable and the living room comes with a nicely tuned piano, which we loved playing."Jared, 2022 "Black Point Cottage was a wonderful place to stay. We thought that it was a very comfortable home that was rustic but full of character and tasteful touches. The land is really amazing. That such a large and untouched tract by the ocean even exists and can be rented is a marvel. It was beautiful in every direction with so much wildlife, and beautiful smells and sounds." J.
