Guest Testimonials

Harbour Tide House was beautiful, very accurate to the description if not better in person! Location is perfect, big garden and lovely view. Very close to Carter's beach. Would recommend for sure!

Halifax, Canada, 2022

We had a wonderful week long stay at Black Point Cottage. 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.

Great location from which to explore the South Shore. We had a great stay at Harbour Tide House.

We had a wonderful time. The view was spectacular. We enjoyed hearing and seeing the seals from the deck of the cottage. We visited Shelburne and Lockeport a couple of times and visited Kejimkujik (the seaside adjunct as well as the park). We even took a trip up to Upper Clements Park. All in all, a great vacation. Thanks.
