If you are looking to experience the beauty of Nova Scotia's beaches, look no further than this fantastic home. We rented this property during the first week of September, and I cannot say enough about what a remarkable week we had.

Right from our first email, Mark was quick and excellent with communication, making the process of booking the cottage very easy. He is so personable and had everything well organized, providing all the details we needed prior to us arriving for our weeks stay.

On the day of our arrival we were greeted with a lovely welcome basket, and a clean and lovely home! The house is so much more than a cottage - it is truly a home, with all the comforts. The rooms are large and well equipped with comfortable beds, the kitchen well equipped to make large and lovely meals with all the appliances one might require and then of course there are the views!!

The location of the cottage is just amazing - the beach is right at your doorstep, and the views are brilliant every day. We live in Antigonish, and rented the cottage for a reunion, and as a local I was blown away by the beach. It is one of the most unique in the area, with a large sandy shore, and amazing sand banks close to the shore making it accessible regardless of the tides. Our local friends who visited were in awe of the beach, as many in the area are rocky or accessible only during low tide. We had young children who were able to safely play in the water the entire week. The large sandy beach was also excellent as it allowed lots of room for walks, kite flying and playing in the sand for times when we didn't want to swim.

The house is perfect for everyone, but we found it just wonderful for those with young children, as the beach is just a 3 minute walk away making it easy for young children to come and go as they wish. The home has a lovely little library of books, games and even a telescope to add to your vacation.

For those looking to explore the local area, the town of Antigonish is a quick 15 minute drive away making for easy access to grocery stores, pubs, restaurants and local arts and culture. It is also very convenient to take day trips to Cape Breton. There are numerous other great hikes and towns to discover local flavour.

We cannot wait for a large group of friends to visit again, so we can once again return to this beautiful property. thank you Mark and Caroline for sharing your wonderful piece of paradise with us!!
