Very calming atmosphere and surroundings. Loved the view and the proximity of the ale brewery and Black Sands Bistro. The area is stunningly beautiful!
Loved my time here! Host did a wonderful job preparing a welcome binder with explanations on household gadgets and such. The view was breathtaking and the bed was very comfortable. Place was conveniently located.

Thank you for being great guests. We hope to see you again soon.
Shelter cove is well off the “beaten path” but we liked it. The house seemed recently redone. There’s a visible sleeping bag setup on an “off limits” loft, which was fine but a little off putting initially. The showers have windows (without frost or shades) same with the bedroom. The house backs up to a hill so I’m sure it’s fine but still a little off putting since there are other houses.We loved our stay and were especially happy with the price and it being a last minute change for us.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cottage. Our host thought of everything we might need, from local fresh roasted coffee beans and grinder, to binoculars to watch the local wildlife, to umbrellas on the deck during the sunny afternoon and a fire pit for the cooler evenings after the sunset. The home feels new and clean and fresh. I enjoyed sitting and watching the ocean from the family room and appreciated that local restaurants and the black sand beach were within walking distance. The ocean feels closer than it looks in the photos and you can listen to the waves from the deck. We will definitely return in the future!
