About this property

Stunning home on Louis Head Beach available for rent.

This exquisite property is located on eight acres with a quarter mile of private beach frontage. The home is located at the end of the beach at the intersection of the Atlantic Ocean and the Sable River.
Recently constructed in 2009, this 2,300 square foot property has three floors of living space with beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Sable River to the west. The home is surrounded on three sides by a large outdoor deck on the first level and a deck off of the master bedroom on the second level.
The beach house has four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The inside of the home was constructed of natural wood by a master carpenter to better complement the beautiful natural environment outside. The many amenities that are provided include Wi-Fi; cable TV on two levels; gas grill; washer and dryer; sheets, towels, and a fully equipped kitchen; fishing and clamming supplies; and a couple of kayaks.
Louis Head Beach is a two-mile long sandy beach with both deeper areas great for fishing and shallow areas ideal for swimming, body surfing, or sea kayaking.
It is a fifteen minute drive to the quaint village of Lockeport, known for its beautiful Crescent Beach, and roughly one half hour to the the picturesque seaside town of Shelburne. For extended shopping, dining, or other attractions the larger town of Liverpool is also one half hour away. For a big city experience, Halifax is around a two-hour drive to the northeast.

We had a fantastic time at the Louis Head cottage. David was very helpful and responsive to any of my questions. We spent most of our days in and around the private property with activities like clam digging, mackerel fishing, swimming, and beach combing. The cottage itself was very comfortable and much bigger than I expected so we could spread out and had our own space. The expansive Louis Head beach was amazing and most days we had it to ourselves. Carters beach close by seems to draw much of the beach crowd from the area leaving this a pristine paradise. Thank you David for your hospitality. We would love to return in the future.

Great location

This beach house is lovely and the location is exceptional, right on a very long sandy beach with few others. Great for long relaxing walks. The house feels so welcoming and comfortable.

Lovely Property

We stayed for 4 nights, and had a wonderful stay. The house has everything we could have wanted and the location is amazing. The beautiful beach rarely had anyone else around and was amazing. Note: bring bug spray, there were a lot of bugs on the beach at the time of year we were there.

Exceptional experience

This is our 2nd time staying at David’s property and it was once again a stellar experience. Immaculate property with everything you would need. The beach is like your own private hideaway. We spent almost every day on the beach and our kids loved it. Can’t wait to go back again next year

Louis Head Beach Tranquility

This is a quiet, tranquil setting with a long stretch of pristine, sandy beach right out the front door. Most times we were the only people on what seemed to be our own private beach. The house is extremely clean and we enjoyed sitting in the sun on the deck watching the chipmunks feast on the wild strawberries in the lawn. Totally relaxing and a completely enjoyable east coast experience.

Beautiful Home

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. It was very comfortable and well equipped. Lovely views of both the ocean and the marsh from the upper deck. A fox visited the property one evening. We also saw a couple of black bears on the other side of the river. We were surprised how bad the mosquitoes were during our stay.

This cottage is one of the nicest I have stayed in and of course the beach is wonderful ...long, powdery white sand with almost no seaweed ...excellent for walking as it is so flat and very good for children. We swam as well. It is close to the towns of Lockeport with more beaches and tourist things, a nice restaurant; Shelburne with a very nice waterfront.There is a very nice BBQ, outdoor shower and plenty of room in the cottage and on the deck. Beds were comfortable. Bunnies in the yard. We will probably stay here again although we like to go to different places in the province, this really hit all the boxes!

Excellent Location

We had a lovely time! Spent all day on the beach. The children loved digging holes and making sand castles. Beach sand makes this feel like a tropical getaway. House is huge. We never even used the downstairs with 6 of us. Could have easily had another couple with us. Would recommend this hidden gem and we look forward to booking again!

A relaxing time in September with the beach to ourselves . Kayaking should be done with care & knowledge of tides. Great wildlife in area. Marshlands very peaceful .

Perfection

I recently stayed at this wonderful VRBO property, and it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I arrived, I felt right at home. The property is immaculately clean and beautifully decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The location is ideal, nestled in a peaceful area yet conveniently close to local attractions and amenities. The views from the property are stunning, offering a perfect backdrop for a relaxing vacation. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything I needed to prepare meals, and the living areas were spacious and comfortable. I highly recommend this VRBO property to anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable stay. I can't wait to return!

A blissful private retreat

We had 7 people in all (one a toddler) and the house accomodated us perfectly. It was spotlessly clean, and very well equipped. The only issue we had was poor satlite for the TV ... constant "blips". That was not important to me, but some in my family were disappointed by that. The beach is absolutely incredible, and the location is blissfully quiet and private. David and his wife were helpful and accomodating whenever I had a question. Some days were spent simply enjoying the wonderful beach, on others we made day trips to towns and villages around the south shore, and returned to our sanctuary at night, This vacation was blissful, and I will recommend this location every chance I get!
