Guest Testimonials

What a great cottage!  Scenery, quiet, tranquility, quietest cottage we have ever stayed at. Went down Blanche Rd. to the end (about 10 min from cottage) and walked the beach and rocks at low tide. Saw a colony of seals barking on the rocks. Don't miss Cape Forchu outside of Yarmouth. Outstanding!

 The perfect oceanside vacation
A week at this Orchard Point was like a week in paradise. The house is very well built, and comfortably furnished with a great kitchen. The ocean, where you can swim from the rocks, begins right where the lawn ends. That is where both the sun and moon rise. It is comfortable all day in the breeze and stays warm though the night. It is private and feels secluded but is not remote; stores and all you need are close by.

What a wonderful getaway. It was a perfect week. Our family enjoyed the beach and all the extra parks so close. Thank you for a great stay.

We're both architects so it was a particular pleasure  to stay in a cottage that we had seen published.  Its beautiful - we wish more people were building contemporary cottages, and the site is gorgeous!

Description

Stay by the sea and experience the unique charms of this Nova Scotia vacation rental. Warm and inviting, this delightful holiday home sits in a large garden high on an ocean bluff and enjoys a spectacular panoramic view of the Atlantic.

Red Head Retreat is a renovated century home with a central staircase that divides the open plan living room, dining room and kitchen. The house has been beautifully restored with honey-coloured hardwood floors; wood trim and neutral paint colours. There is nothing to distract you from that marvelous view!

Simply furnished and decorated, this house has everything you need in a vacation rental. The kitchen is fully equipped with an under counter fridge, gas stove, microwave, toaster, coffee maker and kettle. The house is fully wired for internet. There is a flat screen TV in the upstairs TV room. Board games and cards are available for family time around the dining room table.

With accommodation for four, upstairs there are 3 bedrooms all with ocean views. The master bedroom has a king size bed while the two other bedrooms have one twin bed each. There is a 4 piece bathroom and a stacking washer and dryer on the ground floor.

A large deck runs along the back of the vacation rental and from there you can enjoy a fabulous unobstructed view of the Atlantic Ocean. It is the perfect spot to while away an afternoon watching birds flying overhead and boats passing by. It's hard not to relax in the company of such delightful natural scenery: blue skies, shimmering sea and fresh ocean breezes.

Set back about 100 meters from the shore line, the garden is safe for little ones and pets to play. The lawn ends at a 20 foot high bluff that is too steep to scramble down. But it is easy to get to the rocky beach by following the garden as it naturally slopes down to the shore line. Once on the shore it is possible to walk in either direction.

So pack your bags and head over to Red Head Retreat for a restful respite from daily living!
