The people are very friendly. We'll be back again some day. We enjoyed our stay at the cottage.
We're both architects so it was a particular pleasure to stay in a cottage that we had seen published. Its beautiful - we wish more people were building contemporary cottages, and the site is gorgeous!
Had a wonderfull week at the cottage. Highlights for the kids were the seals at the Keji Seaside Park. For us it was the dinner at the Quarter Deck Restaurant.
We enjoyed our stay at the rustic and quaint Sea Star cottage in July. There was more than enough room for our family of five. Importantly, the Wi-Fi worked well for our kids :) Having laundry and all the amenities of a regular home made our stay comfortable. The location is very quiet, and the grounds around the home are almost park-like, with mature apple trees and a well-kept lawn. There is a nice walk down the pathway through the back field to the rocky shoreline. The night skies were full of bright stars; I was able to photograph the Milky Way with ease.
Carter's Beach is an easy 10-minute walk down the road, but the area is also central to other beautiful beaches, with shopping (and a great skatepark) in Liverpool, only 15 minutes' drive away. Locally we had a good take-out dinner from the Seascape restaurant just down the road.
Overall our stay was very enjoyable, and I would not hesitate to recommend it as a perfect vacation home for a family. |

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."Jared, 2022 "Black Point Cottage was a wonderful place to stay. We thought that it was a very comfortable home that was rustic but full of character and tasteful touches. The land is really amazing. That such a large and untouched tract by the ocean even exists and can be rented is a marvel. It was beautiful in every direction with so much wildlife, and beautiful smells and sounds." J. Miller, July 2017 |
