Spectacular views!! This place was clean, cozy, communicate was easy and the location was perfect! It also had everything we needed! We could have used a few extra blankets but I was planning on bringing my own from home but forgot. Would stay here again!

This is a great family property! Lots of board games, a ping pong table, and close to everything in Shelter Cove. It’s very close to Black Sands Beach, but the walk back is quite a steep uphill walk. The listed pictures of the ocean view don’t do it justice! We really enjoyed our stay here.

This was a phenomenal place to stay. We had three kids, ages 16, 14, and 11, and had the absolute time of our lives. Everything felt like a fairytale. The place was very well stocked, the views incredible, and the hosts were responsive and helpful before, during, and after the stay.5/5 highly recommend.

This was a really cool place! We picked it for the location outside of a tourist area, the 3 floors to give us all some space mid-way through a long road trip, the indoor and outdoor ways for our tween-agers to play and run, and the awesome deck for my husband and I to enjoy some local beverages. It did not disappoint!

Great Location for Families

It’s a great home and host for families. They have everything you could think of including the golf clubs that we used to golf the local course. The kids loved the game room and SEGA!

Perfect Getaway

Loved the place, loved the views. Kat and Alex were excellent hosts. Photos were accurate of the property. Would definitely love to come back. The only critical comment - the only way to access the third bedroom is through the master bedroom - if you have teenagers, just be aware!

Secluded beach getaway

Area is very secluded which is what we wanted to be able to get away for a couple days. Gorgeous views and comfortable outdoor seating to enjoy those views and weather. Kept kids busy with walks around the area, exploring the tide pools and visiting the nearby Black Sand beach. This home had everything we needed for my family. My kids had fun playing on the ping pong table and outside in the yard. This home was fantastic and highly recommend staying here!!

Thank you for your feedback. Sorry if it caused any inconvenience. We believe there was mention about the small gas station at the General Store 2 miles from the house. We will make sure to highlight this detail in our welcome letter for future Guests. Thank you for staying at our Beachhouse!

Unexpected stay

We were forced to find a new spot to stay on one days notice, due to fires a couple hours up North of here. We got so lucky. Never knew about this area and now want to keep it our little secret. Loved everything and wish we could have stayed longer. We will be back and can’t wait to stay in this home again! Really just the best.

We really enjoyed our stay here! Super clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The area is super remote and super quiet. It’s a great get away. There is very little cell service along most of the northern coastline, but they had great WiFi at the house. Loved how everything was labeled in the home, soap, shampoo and conditioner was stocked. Linens were clean. They had fun games, a gaming console and old VHSs and DVDs. We saw a ton of wildlife around the outside of the house including a black bear one night! Just a great little spot to retreat to. Just be aware that it is a 45 minute drive in from the main road. There is not much around so pack in what you need. Black Sands Beach is not a beach to be in the water in because of the riptides. So just be aware of that too. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get just away.

We had a great time at Shelter Cove. Alex and Kat were excellent hosts. The house is very comfortable and well-stocked. Our kids enjoyed exploring everything around town, especially the tide pools and seals. We found so many treasures on the beach. The Black Sands Bistro has delicious food and a nice dining deck overlooking the ocean. Thanks again for sharing your amazing house. Hopefully we can come back someday!

Lovely Home in Lovely Town

Great place to stay for multiple people or even groups. Trees around and a view to the ocean. Located very close to Black Sand Beach and short drive to any shops/restaurants. The house has everything you need for the kitchen and a beautiful deck with plenty of outdoor furniture. Inside there is a bathroom on every floor and the 3 floor set up gives a lot of privacy between visitors. Everything was very clean and ready for use, even the outside furniture, which was nice. Only item to mention is that the neighbors are quite close when you're out on the deck. Definitely would like to stay there again.
