Guest TestimonialsCastaway Ocean Lodge is away from it all in the most tranquill, idyllic spot in Nova Scotia! Our first view of your beautiful home was breathtaking and we've enjoyed every minute. Watching humming birds feeding, woodpeckers on the sateliite dish and Ospreys has been briliant. We've explored hidden coves and inlets from Peggy's Cove right dwon the South Shore to Yarmouth. We also visited Digby; the scallops were great! Driving through Kejimkujik we saw deer. The weather has been so good to us too; sunshing every day apart from Monday and even then it was really warm. Thank you so much.
What a beautiful spot! Enjoyed the beaches and Keji. Also, enjoyed studying all the interesting art and mementos that seem to have been carefully chosen and collected over many years. Francis Louis House is a great place to stay.
We've totally enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It is so lovely and the surroundings are absolutely gorgeous. We want to thank you for allowing us the opportunity to use your home this past week. We did the lighthouse tour from Yarmouth to Lockeport. We did the whale watching tour and saw 2 humpback whales and one Minke.
We loved our stay in Nova Scotia. The cottage is beautiful and comfortable; very well equipped and a joy to settle into. Lovely backyard with great view!

Crescent Beach
A mile long stretch of white sandy beach.
The water and waves were perfect for an afternoon of skim boarding at the Lockeport beach bash.
I love this picture of Lucas and Halley going for a walk on the Lockeport beach. Such a cute brother and little sister photo
Our entry for the 2011 Sand Castle Contest was "Big Foot". Here Sam is illustrating just how much big "big foot" is! No, we didn't win the contest, but the kids had fun!
This was the winning sand sculpture for 2011. The photo really does not do it justice!

This past summer I took my children to the Beach Bash. We could not have asked for a better day. The weather was truly spectacular! The sun was hot overhead, and little white wisps of clouds dotted the blue skies .We took blankets, chairs, beach toys and a picnic and spent the day playing in the waves and soaking up the sun. As part of the beach bash, we entered our "big foot" into the sand sculpture contest. Our creation was not creative enough for a prize. The beautiful mermaid created by artist Rebecca Tudor won first prize. I did notice that she came with all sorts of sculpting tools - everything from brushes to chopsticks. Next year we will add sculpting tools to the beach bag. By then the kids will be bigger and hopefully be able to help me carry all the stuff! Here is a little video I uploaded to YouTube.
