The cottage kept the soul of the family who was living there. And the neighbors became friends so we could walk all along the proprieties as if we were from the family. Like a clan. In front of the long beach. With the waves banging on the rocks. A unique place on the coast of Pictou. We shall go again.
Bill is an exceptional host. He is warm, responsive, and genuinely thoughtful. The cottage is an absolute gem: beautifully maintained, sparkling clean, and full of charm. The spacious deck and cozy sun porch offer breathtaking views of the ocean at any time of day and in any weather, making it the perfect place to relax and take it all in. Every detail has been carefully considered to ensure a comfortable and seamless stay, from the well-equipped kitchen to the inviting furnishings. What truly makes this place unforgettable is the sense of history and love woven into every corner. You can feel the generations of family memories that make the cottage feel not just like a rental, but a real home.
We enjoyed our stay in this tranquil Northumberland Shore location. Well kept older cottage in a prime, private setting. Friendly neighbors and a beautiful view in all directions. We enjoyed our stay and hope to be back sometime!
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage! It was a good home base for exploring and visiting family nearby. The kitchen was well equipped and beds were comfortable. It was lovely to be able to look out the many windows and see the ocean or catch sight of several deer in the mornings. The host was helpful with a phone call to check in (and communication beforehand to answer questions), and the caretakers Cathie & BJ went above and beyond - very hospitable and friendly. We arrived later than planned and had a bit of trouble finding it in the dark (Google put us at the wrong address!), but Cathie came out and helped us out. The only suggestion I would add to the other feedback I've read, is you may want to bring some bottled/spring water to drink. The well water taste may not always be how it was for us, and certainly it was safe to drink, but we preferred a more familiar taste. Also, the listing may be made more accurate with updated photos of the beach. It has evolved significantly from the sandy beach in the photos, and while my kids still had a blast exploring the by climbing the rocks and finding tide pools, for a "classic" beach experience, we drove to nearby Melmerby Beach (worth the trip!). There is also a new larger deck on the ocean side of the cottage that is not pictured and is a lovely spot to sit in the morning with a coffee. Thank you for the great vacation accommodations!
Really nice, honey, relaxing and quiet. Beautiful view, lots of space. House had everything we could possibly need. Only stairs to the beach would have made it better
The cottage looks directly out on the ocean and offers an amazing vista each day regardless of the weather. Really enjoyed the many hours on the beach enjoying the views, relaxing, swimming and reading. Cathie and BJ are wonderful hosts attentive to every need.
We enjoyed our trip 100%. The cottage supplied everything that you could need. We really enjoyed the screened sun porch. The views were spectacular ; the weather was fantastic. We will definitely return. Our host Bill was extremely helpful and even called to see how we were settling in.
This is such a charming cottage with an eclectic mixture of furniture. The view is amazing, and the hosts are super friendly and welcoming. I would certainly stay here again.
Had another excellent stay at our favorite Blackpoint Cottage .
Coming here is like coming home.
The cottage is clean and spacious and welcoming. It is fully equipped and has everything you need for a comfortable stay.
Cathy and BJ the property managers are terrific and are there at a moments notice if you have any questions ... and dealing with the owner is seamless! A wonderful vacation, a lovely cottage and a perfect location . Thank you and hope to return next summer đ
Felt very much like home as opposed to a rental. The views where amazing. The host Bill, and Cathy and Brian made us feel like we where friends not just another customer highly recommend for a nova scotia stay. If you want a great relaxing vacation its a great spot..
The location on a bluff overlooking the water was superb. The cottage was clean and well-equipped. The caretakers were friendly and helpful in any situation. The owner checked in on us many times during our time there. The stars on a clear night were amazing. I plan to stay there again in the future.
Our group had a wonderful time. The cottage has everything needed for a very comfortable stay and thereâs something here on this lovely beach for all ages to enjoy.
Our fourth year here and it does not disappoint! Beach is beautiful and and easy access to day trips to PEI or Cape Breton is the weather is not cooperating. Jacqueline had the place spotless for our arrival and JB the caretaker and his life partner Kate are true gems! Highly recommend this location!
Stunning views both sunrise and sunset and everywhere in between. The cottage was completely functional, had great breeze off the water and cozy.
We had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation. Initially we booked for one week and jumped at the chance for the second week! 14 days was not enough time to relax and unwind and take in the breeze off the water! Wonderful spot!
It was extremely clean and well-kept. The view was absolutely beautiful morning and night. We enjoyed it so much we often to stay for a second week. Despite how warm the weather was, there was a beautiful breeze most days. Beach was completely quiet every day and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
This was a return visit and like the first time, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at " Beach Front Cottage". We have family in the area so the location was perfect for visiting and catching up. From the front window you can watch the fishermen bring in their catch early in the morning, enjoy visits from the local deer population, or just watch the water coming into shore, the view is spectacular. The cottage is well supplied with everything you will need. Arrive, unpack, sit back and enjoy!
Dickens wrote âIt was the best of times, it was the worst of timesâ. Storm Fiona hit Black Point hard and yet we had a most memorable holiday; in fact we extended our stay by five days. In the face of adversity, the people of Nova Scotia opened up their hearts and helped each other in every possible way. We were privileged to be a part of all that went on.
In spite of Fiona, clearly Black Point is a wonderful place to spend a quiet, relaxing holiday. The cottage kitchen is equipped with every utensil known to man, and there is plenty of room for lying around reading, playing games, or simply sitting and looking out to sea. A perfect place to unwind from the hustle and bustle of the city. The host and property managers were really attentive and thoughtful, fresh flowers on the dining table, freshly baked muffins and sconesâŠ. What more could you need!
Black Point has a very interesting history, some cottages are 100-plus years old and remain family owned. It is a close, caring community, and we met some very friendly and interesting people. It is also perfectly positioned to explore Nova Scotia, East, West or South. We will be recommending this property to friends and family as a perfect get-away.
