Guest TestimonialsThis is a very special spot. Sanderling Beach House has a 360 degree view of marsh, river, ocean, sand, and sky. We loved our stay here. Thank you for providing a very well appointed and comfortable house.
A great stay with beautiful views and plenty of room and all the amenities for a great stay.
The cottage was a delightful, very private spot. It had all the amenities needed for an enjoyable stay, lovely setup and right on the ocean. Barrington and area was wonderful to explore. We would definitely go again!! Thank you Helen for a seemless stay, it was great dealing with you.
It was an absolute pleasure to stay at Neptune's Rise!
Before our trip Helen gave me an extensive package of information about Shelburne and Nova Scotia and details about the house. If you’re going to use the stand-up paddle boards don’t forget to sign your liability waiver! It was so much fun to take them out on the open water.
The house is quite secluded and it’s gorgeous! The photos in the listing are very accurate.
I was pleased to see so many personal touches in Neptune’s Rise. For instance, there were tons of games and books to help you pass the time without phone, internet, or tv. There were lots of pastimes for kids too, such as colored pencils, books, and toys. The kitchen was stocked with all the pots, pans, and utensils that you’d need to prepare home-cooked meals. I was a bit concerned about a lack of kitchenware, especially due to COVID-19, but we found everything that we needed. Importantly, there was a percolator and a French press for coffee in the morning.
The bedrooms were spacious and had a great deal of storage, and the beds were very comfortable! I thought the overall decor was a nice blend of modern and personal touches.
We didn’t spend a ton of time in Shelburne because we spent our days going to beaches and lighthouses around the shore. But, we did have a great time at Boxing Rock and their shandy is the perfect summertime drink. I also recommend: the tomato soup at the Keeper’s Kitchen at the Cape Forchu lighthouse, Crescent Beach in Lockeport, and hiking at Thomas Raddall Provincial Park.
This was our most memorable experience from Neptune’s Rise …
We wanted to try the paddle boards so we brought them down to the water and started paddling around near the house. When we got our sea legs we decided to paddle to a sandy beach across the cove. It was a bit of a jaunt, and the waves made it a bit difficult to land on the beach, but it was well worth it. On our way back we spotted a seal who was watching us from a distance. The seal must have been curious because it swam closer and closer. I guess the seal’s curiosity drew the attention of its friends because before long there was a group of 5 seals! At this point I was trying to remember anything I could about the predatory tendencies of seals and I tried to keep my mind on getting back to shore. We paddled home without incident and we were followed by the curious seal. That seal watched as I floated near the shore and drank my shandy. When it realized I wasn’t going to do anything interesting it joined its friends and swam back out to sea.

The location was quiet and scenic. Being right on the bay we enjoyed paddle boarding, searching for sea glass, and even swimming. Brrrr!Communicating with the host was helpful and always prompt. The house is lovely, was clean, and had everything we needed. We would highly recommend staying here." Deidre, Lebanon, NH, 2022 "Overall stay was well beyond our expectations. The location was amazing the house was wonderful the walks on shore you'll never forget. Lots to keep the little ones busy which we werent expecting at all. Like coloring books, toys, blocks even playdoh etc... which really helped. Everything was clean and perfect. Definitely would stay again. No complaints at all. Perfect for the family." Jen, 2022 "Gorgeous place. The photos are beautiful but it's even better in person. Completely private and surrounded by nature, you'll drink your coffee next to the tree tops. We absolutely loved our stay." Emily, Halifax, Canada, 2020 "I would book another stay here in a heartbeat. We spent a lot of our trip on the porch off the kitchen, watching seals, deer, eagles, and osprey go by. My son stayed busy with the toys and books. It's a totally private space, yet minutes from Shelburne and not far from many beautiful destinations on the south shore. The beds are very comfortable, the kitchen is well appointed, and the property is lovely." Lynn, Dartmouth, Canada, 2020 "We had a wonderful stay at this cottage. The location and house are even better in person. The house was very clean when we arrived and had everything we needed. It is perfectly located and close to many beaches. We were thrilled by how private the property was. We really enjoyed morning coffees on the deck looking at the water. We had our 2 year old daughter with us and the house was very well equipped for her. That was a lovely surprise. We would highly recommend staying here and look forward to going back!" Carolyn, Hammonds Plains, Canada, 2020 "Unique cottage design with lots of windows & a super kitchen. Ocean view and beach front make a great place to kayak, walk and an evening fire. Private & quiet, & only 5 min drive from Shelburne." Paul, Nova Scotia, Canada, 2020 |
