Amazing views, beautiful home, comfortable, quiet and private. We had a hard time leaving it even to go on our day tours. We loved the fresh air and breeze and the sound of the fog horn in the distance. We enjoyed take out seafood from Shelburne. Thank you.
By far one of the best cottages ever rented. We stayed Labor Day weekend and it was an absolutely dream. The weather was perfect. We got to enjoy the beach most days and the evenings were perfect weather for the hot tub and sauna. We knew at the time of booking we would love Beach Heaven. The kitchen was fully stocked with every utensil/pot/pan you would need. There were things we forgot to bring and they had it there! The detail they’ve put into this place truly made our stay amazing. We will for sure be back :)
Thank you for sharing your comfortable home with us. Even on cloudy days, the house always felt bright and airy, especially the fantastic sun room. We appreciated the tide clock as going to the beach became the center of our days here. Such a lovely place.
Bright View Cottage is a great spot for family and pets! Short walk down main road to private beach! Lots of beaches, lots of choices!!

The Lobster Festival is usually held on the first weekend in June. The town wide yard sale is also on this same weekend. Founder's Days take place on the third weekend in July. The Whirligig and the Pumpkin Festivals are fall festivals that take place on the third weekend in September and first weekend in October. The Shelburne County and Dory Museums are worth visiting. When John Williams established his dory shop in 1880, it was part of a dory-building industry, which at its peak, included at least seven shops along the Shelburne waterfront. During the early part of this century the shop employed five to seven men and produced 350 dories per year. The museum has a workshop where Dories are still built to this day (albeit not in such large quantities!). Amenities

Guestbook"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 here again. Stunning views from the loft over looking the ocean!"Stephanie, Elmira, Canada, 2022 "This is a lovely piece of land and a great cottage with everything that you need. You can enjoy kayaking and paddle right to a lovely, secluded beach. Enjoy coffee on the deck with beautiful views. The cottage has everything you could need and is quite modern. Great kitchen for cooking and all the bedrooms were super comfortable. We saw rabbits and deer, and tons of birds. This is a very private get away -- and you will not hear a car or other people from the cottage." Jamie, Halifax, Canada, 2021 |
