This was a clean and fully equipped cottage. The view was outstanding and the amenities were all there. The personal touches by the host were so appreciated and went beyond anything we could have expected (there were toothbrushes, in case you forgot!). All communication was clear and timely. Would absolutely stay here again! Thank you so much for a lovely stay!

Dixie F.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
We stayed 6 days in the cottage in late May. There is a beautiful view of Margaret’s Bay with gorgeous sunsets. It is fully equipped with anything one may need with attention to detail. The cottage is centrally located to explore the beautiful south shore beaches of Nova Scotia and is still in close proximity to Halifax and the airport. Our only complaint was the very small bedroom with no place to store or hang one’s belongings or clothing. The VRBO website shows a small “second bedroom” with a dresser for clothes. The room was apparently remodeled after the posted photo to add a closet with a washer, dryer, heat pump, and a water filtration system which emits an alarmingly loud noise at 2AM on a biweekly basis. Still the cottage is a little jewel and would be great for guests looking for one very nice bedroom.

It was our second visit enjoying Beth's cottage! Being there for our second time was just as exceptional as our first visit last year! It is our new home away from home. We look forward to next year! Beth is an exceptional hostess with supplying everything that you need. Love her personal touches of farm fresh eggs, flowers from her garden, and dog bed/bowls/blankets. The cleanliness and decor are perfection..love the new deck/seating by the beach area. She is always there for you!
