Guest Testimonials

 Perfect House, Perfect Place
Our second time at Sanderling Beach House, and we couldn't dream for a better place. We love Nova Scotia for the untouched nature, and unspoiled beaches, lakes, and forest, but high standard accommodations are some times hard to find. Sanderling beach house is the best place we could have: charming, on the edge of the Ocean, tasteful, functional, very well appointed, clean. A wonderful feeling of home pervades the house. The kitchen is fully equipped, ready for baking, cooking, BBQing, etc. The 3 bedrooms are large, with comfy beds. The beach is long with fine silver sand, and hardly anybody is ever around. Our children and ourselves spent wonderful days playing and swimming (yes, swimming!). The night skies are among the most beautiful and starry in the whole planet! UNESCO's Starlight Foundation declared the area part of North America's first Starlight Preserve, on top of the designation as a protected biosphere!

I had so much fun at our cottage! I loved going down to the fishing wharf and the big rocks. We went to  Carter's Beach and found many sand dollars. Summerville Beach was an awesome swimming area. I would come back anytime!

 .. and relax! The beach house of dreams.
If you want to have a one mile sandy beach virtually to oneself then this is the beach house for you. Once the rough track from the road has been negotiated the peace and remoteness of Sanderling Beach House comes into it’s own. Don't stay if you want TV and Wi-Fi; this is a place to relax, stroll down your own boardwalk to the shore, paddle in the tea-brown waters where the sea mixes with Sable river estuary, beach comb for sand dollars, listen to the siffling of the piping plovers. Comfortable beds and sofas enable relaxation inside the house too; put on some coffee, pull up an Adirondack chair and watch the cormorants fishing offshore. There is good food and drink in Shelburne and Lockeport and lovely places to visit along the South Shore. Quite pricy for just two but would be good value if filled with a young family.

We've had a wonderful time here. It is a beautiful cottage and well-equipped. You really own a lovely property! The cottage was perfectly clean when we arrived. Thank you cleaning lady! This is our first time in Nova Scotia. We loved to spend relaxing days with out children at Carter's Beach, The weather was wonderful-sunshine and warmth. A place we can recommend is the pub at the Lane's Privateer Inn in Liverpool. Extremely friendly staff, great burgers, good beer. Thanks for a perfect holiday at your cottage.

Description

This 19th Century sea captain's haven has been lovingly renovated and restored by an artist and historic preservationist, husband and wife team.

By combining modern touches and conveniences with traditional features this dedicated couple has managed to breathe new life into this historic oceanfront vacation rental home.

The design tastefully blends old and new architectural elements, art and furnishings to create an environment rich in character, charm, texture, and comfort. The palate of the home is a simple harmony of warm wood tones and crisp whitewashed plaster with calming ocean touches throughout. The ground floor has a living room, dining room, custom soapstone and wood kitchen with breakfast dinette, a laundry, and full bath with stone and tile walk-in shower. The upper level has a full bath with claw foot soaking tub and two bedrooms to sleep four. There is a queen size bed in the master bedroom and a double bed in guest room.

Location

Orchard Point Cottage is located on a bold Atlantic headland just six miles East of the historic port town of Shelburne on Nova Scotia's scenic South Shore. Close enough to town for shopping, restaurants, and visits to the museums, theater and festival venues; the cottage is far enough away to guarantee seclusion.

Standing atop a long shoreward meadow, Orchard Point Cottage offers dramatic ocean vistas and wildlife viewings from every window - the welcoming sparkle of pristine Jordan Bay to the north and east, the thrill of open Atlantic surf to the south, and a South Shore picture-postcard cove to the west. This awe-inspiring setting was celebrated by writer, poet and naturalist Howard T. Walden's beautifully written "Anchorage Northeast: The story of one man's quest for the unspoiled bounties of nature and their discovery on a stretch of Nova Scotian Coast."

Guestbook

"We loved this place. Everything came as promised, the host was very responsive and helpful with a ton of information on the surrounding area before we arrived. Cannot recommend this place enough, beyond such a beautiful home, the surrounding area is just so nice. Hope to be back next year!!"

Max, Toronto, Canada, 2021


"The house was well taken care of, renovated, and modernized. As advertised, it is very private and secluded. Standing on the shore of the ocean, you get to fall asleep to the sound of waves. It is also conveniently located only 15 min from downtown Shelburne, where you can explore the local museums, breweries, and great dining places! If you're a bit more adventurous, 45 min in either direction you will find some of the best beaches in the province (Hawk Point & Carter's Beach) and other hidden gems! Cell reception was hit and miss on the entire peninsula, but WiFi at the house was very good, we were able to stream Netflix without any lag! The host is very responsive and helpful! Overall, a great experience!"

Nick, Halifax, Canada, 2021


"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."
