Our hosts (including their two dogs Milo and Enzo) were friendly and welcoming throughout our entire two week stay. They offered suggestions on places to go and things to do, which we found very helpful. Their advice on availability of fresh seafood, and tremendous help in obtaining and preparing fresh lobster, made a real difference to our trip.The highlight for us was the location, which was right at the shore, allowing us to enjoy uninterrupted ocean views, and listen to the waves. Beautiful, no matter what the weather.It is very obvious the owners take great pride in what they have created here, and rightly so. Their tremendous landscaping efforts are clearly a labour of love.We had never been to Nova Scotia, and certainly will be returning.

Beautiful stay with a panoramic view

First, just a beautiful place inside and out. As my wife and I like to cook, we can say this was the best equipped kitchen we've cooked in, and you can watch the sea as you do it. We had a great time relaxing and reading, watching the lobster boats at work.

Fantastic Cottage and Location

This cottage was fantastic, very clean, well furnished and decorated with a relaxing feel. Right on the ocean for great views, sounds and sunsets. Paul and Heidi were excellent hosts and so were Milo and Enzo the wonderful furry (dogs) attendants making sure we had everything needed. We would recommend this cottage to anyone and would certainly stay again when in the area.

The kitchen is well equipped with everything thing you need. The view is fantastic. This is the perfect place to relax and recharge your mind and body.

Xanadu by the Sea - Nova Scotia Paradise!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful sea side beach house! With a spectacular view of the ocean we were entertained each morning by the lobster fishing boats pulling up their catch. The house itself is bright and airy with decor that reflects the sea. It is both tasteful yet comfortable complete with a screened-in porch and a wood burning fireplace that was easy to use. Lovely patio, lawns and easy steps down to the beach where we took advantage of the kayaks to explore the coast. A special treat was lobster dinner which we bought at the wharf just 10 minutes away! It was a holiday we will long remember and we would love to return.

If I had know how wonderful this was, I would have booked it for a lifetime!

WOW!!!!! The house is absolutely gorgeous and the host, Paul, so genuine and welcoming. It was a cold day when we arrived and he had a fire in the fireplace, nice music playing, candles in the windows, and string lights on outside. Felt like home as soon as we walked in. The house is beautifully decorated, very comfortable and well appointed. Being dog lovers (especially Goldens in my case), it was an extra treat to be greeted by Enzo and Milo and watch some of their antics. Being cold and rainy some of the time, we really enjoyed the fireplace with coffee to start the day and wine after our hiking adventures. Paul was especially gracious to order lobsters for us, steam them, bring them over, and “chop” them so we could pick the sweet meat out. He is truly a gem of a host and we would definitely stay there again. Our only regret is that we didn’t meet his wife Cathie because we expect she is as special as he is.

Xanadu checks every box. At least for me it does: Peace, comfort, amenities (if you even need them) and a panoramic landscape worthy of the highest quality “clip art”.Heidi and Paul are gracious, reasonable and friendly hosts. If you looked up ‘Escape’ in the dictionary, there could be a picture of this place. The dogs are definitely a bonus. Initially curious and protective. They immediately adopt the guest as ‘family’. Waking up to them guarding you and the owners will add to your natural euphoria that this place provides. Don’t worry if you forgot the book you planned on reading. They’ve got that covered too with a full library. Everyone comes here with a story and a background. Thank you Paul and Heidi for providing whatever we were looking to find.
