Guest Testimonials

Perfect getaway location for relaxation
My husband and I had a wonderful week at Red Head Retreat. it was completely peaceful with only the sounds of gulls, waves on stone at the foot of the bluff and intermittent bird song. The house is spacious, comfortably furnished and open and airy with lots of natural light. The back deck is perfect for enjoying a quiet coffee in the mornings with dawn over the trees and In August it gets full shade in the afternoon, which makes it perfect for lolling in the Adirondack chairs with books and a cold drink. And there always seemed to be a refreshing breeze off the ocean. This was most welcome because we were there during a hot, humid week. But even the foggy mornings seemed special in that house. Alerted by the management company and a previous guest's post, we limited our time on the large back lawn and on woodland trails in the region due to ticks. We took extra medication precautions for our dog and checked her and each other after each excursion. Happy to report that we didn't see a tick all week! But we did see lots of deer. The back lawn area seemed to be an early morning and evening gathering place. At dusk on one day we counted 12 does and fawns of assorted sizes (see photo). We also saw plenty of rabbits, and pheasants, plus a beaver or muskrat by the causeway on the approach road. We are familiar with Nova Scotia's south shore and like to choose a base from which to explore by car and at times by bike or foot. Red Head Retreat is our favourite rental so far. There is no direct beach access from the house but many beautiful beaches - usually very sparsely peopled - within a short driving distance. We also treated ourselves to a final night dinner out at the Charlotte Lane in Shelburne. it was our fourth visit to the restaurant over the past decade and it never disappoints. But a note to other guests who might be inclined to give it a try - do make a reservation. We saw several tourists walk in and be disappointed the evening we were there. Altogether, a lovely week. Thank you!

 My husband and I take a vacation every year on our anniversary!! I had suggested going to Nova Scotia because neither of us have ever been there before and we both have always wanted to go!! I found Castaway Ocean Lodge on Home away website. My husband and I love log cabin homes and try to rent them when we have vacations!! The pictures of the cabin looked beautiful and we were not disappointed. We found it very easy to find. We came upon the cabin, we both said WOW at the same time!! The cabin was beautiful inside and out! This vacation was about relaxing, no agenda!! Each day, I awoke early in the morning, made coffee, and sat outside on the deck, reading, drinking coffee and enjoying the beautiful ocean views!! I took pictures every day of the sunset looking over the ocean!! It was absolutely breathtaking! The cabin had everything you needed for amenities. We travelled to surrounding communities of Shelburne, Liverpool, Barrington and Halifax! I would recommend this cabin for anyone who wants tranquility, serenity and a peaceful vacation!!

This cottage is exactly as advertised, maybe even better. It truly is only a 3 minute walk to beautiful Summerville beach. Make sure to walk to the end of the beach and see the old bridge when the tide is all the way out. It is beautiful. The 3 bedrooms are very large and the kitchen island is great for all cooking and eating together. We had a great vacation here at Summerset Cottage, made lots of new memories and hope to make it an annual tradition.

 "Wow, what a wonderful time we had! This beautiful cottage was exactly what we needed.  The views are incredible and the amenities are so convenient. We stayed here at Bright View Cottage for  a couple of weeks in September. The weather was lovely and the surrounding  environment was peaceful. We spent a lot of our time lounging on the main deck,  observing the ocean and the wildlife. At nighttime the second level deck is an  incredible place to view the stars. We played sports on the surrounding lawn and  took walks (and swam!) at the nearby beaches. Great place for bike riding and  jogging as there is little to no traffic. We were able to cook every meal at the  cottage with a very well equipped kitchen. We especially loved having access to  the extensive library both up and downstairs-lots of classics! Overall a  fantastic place to reset and take it slow."
