This is truly a gem of a cottage on the Northumberland Strait. We are so happy we chose this cottage for our 2 week vacation, last 2 weeks of August. The cottage has been recently renovated and is bright, tastefully decorated and spacious due to the open concept floor plan. The elevated location on the huge deck over looking the water made morning coffee extra enjoyable watching the seals, daily, bob in the water between their search for fish and Northern Gannet dive bombing for the meals. Water was very warm for swimming and beach is easily accessible by stairs 50 feet away. Beach is exceptional due to the variation of sand and rock. The rock creates the interesting tidal pools to explore at low tide. I am a big kid, so enjoyed seeing the Hermit and Rock crabs, flounder and even small lobsters. The best swimming is actually out front of the cottage, pure sand. Sunsets as you can see in the pictures of the cottage delivered and transitioned nicely into nights around the camp fire. The hosts even provide the wood. If you want to leave the cottage and explore the area, thereâs lots to do a short distance away. Lots of small towns along hwy 6 to explore. Tatamagouche and Pictuo are 2 towns that deliver and worth the visit. Great restaurants, art galleries and other shops to explore. Looking for some other adventures not too far away. The ferry to PEI is only 15 minutes away. We took the ferry and enjoyed a day in Charlottetown. Some great hiking trails near by and in particular Wentworth Ski hills has a great hike and lookout 45 minutes away. Also, Truro is only about an hour away and has great hiking in the middle of the city, amazing. Drive a little further to Halifax for an outing, only 1 hour and 45 min minutes away. We drove an 1:45 minutes away to Clam Harbour beach, east of Halifax and took surfing lessons, had a great day. The Calm Harbour beach has to be one the nicest beaches in Nova Scotia. As mentioned this cottage is a gem, in a laid back location, really peaceful, yet is in a location that offers up lotâs to do. Owners Chad and Marcy are great host, that were very helpful when we were booking the cottage back in May and checked in with us periodically during our stay to see if we needed anything. Thanks again Chad and Marcy, we are hoping to be back again next year.
