Amazing beach 10 mins up the road. Fun place to explore. Our kids had a great time throwing rocks and finding crabs along the shore. We would totally stay at Ragged Island Retreat again. Stunning views from the loft over looking the ocean!

I have a lingering memory of our week at Sanderling Beach House. It is of waking up in the master bedroom and gazing out the full length windows to the sun filtering through the fog and lining the beach grasses with silver. That's just one of many that I will treasure. The house was well designed, with clear views outside, room to be together and apart, a well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. We appreciated the colourful deck chairs (just looking at the range of shades was a treat onto itself) and the sand toys. Helen was very helpful and took a personal interest. The only drawback was the horrendous state of the 1.8 klm. road going in. It was so rough and rocky we felt it hindered our ability to go out and about exploring. Other than that, it was just perfect. 

This was our 10th Wedding anniversary and it was great. Castaway Ocean Lodge is such a beautiful log cabin. The view was wonderful also! We took out the Kayaks on Saturday; it was great! The lodge was just spectacular, so new and comfy. The hot tub was so relaxing. We will return with more of our family because it's a great lodge and property. Thanks.

We had a wonderful week in Shelburne. This house is truy a very special place and is named appropriately: very tranquil indeed! We enjoyed the quiet and sense of isolation. The screened porch was the favorite part of the house for us. Although the water was cold, we enjoyed our dip at the Crescent Beach. We will always remember our first trip to Nova Scotia and how very much we enjoyed this house.
