Luxury of a bygone era.

The house has the characteristics of a peaceful era of time gone by! If walls could talk the history of the house would be full of stories! At one time it was probably the queen peering over the bay, anticipating the arrival of fishing boats! The house was clean and accommodating for our stay! Enjoyed the daily visitation of the humming birds! Amazing! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Haunted mansion

This property had the feel of an old haunted mansion. Wonderful, beautiful, secluded property at end of unpaved road, close to rocky beach. Great location for hiking and biking to nearby coastal sights and waterfalls. House itself is a tear-down and not really fit for vacation rental. Does VRBO not do any vetting? Very overpriced. Should rent for about $50 per night. No operable windows with screens on main floor. Musty, damp odor on main floor. No comfortable seating in LR. No local TV stations in real time - only streaming. Kitchen is good for local restaurants as you will NOT be tempted to cook here. Kitchen needs a deep cleaning and frankly a complete reno. All bathrooms very odd and water pressure is problematic. Driveway full of mud running off unpaved road. Decks - sketchy construction in a sort of Rube Goldberg manner (Yikes!). Not impressed with piles of wood debris and firewood stacked all over the place. Bed was comfortable. Wifi worked well. Interesting art and antique furniture was lovely but not very practical for comfort of guests. Much more of a museum and curiosity than a restful vacation retreat. Generally people look for more comfort on a vacation not less. Save your money. Check in at a nice local motel/hotel/bed and breakfast inn and drive to beach and hiking sights. Much nicer places to stay in Windsor area or Kentville for much less $$$$ & onsite staff, amenities, linens, etc.This is our last transaction with VRBO.Buyer beware.Yikes!

Amazing location

The house was great and as listed. We had a great time and it was really awesome that the host left food to feed the hummingbirds. So many of them came! The large fire pit outside was also great and we used the wood burning grill outside to cook corn and hot dogs. It’s a great remote location, incredible view over the Bay of Fundy and a short walk access down to a rocky beach where we saw a bald eagle. The hammock and chairs on the balcony are very comfortable. The bedrooms and beds as well. Thanks!

Smelly House

Let me start by saying this property has amazing views and an amazing Beach but the property is very remote and you almost require 4 wheel drive to get there. Once there other than the Lobster# close by everything else is 45 minutes away! Oh and the road to Lobster# is almost inaccessible. The house has 4 bedrooms up and 2 extremely old bathrooms that are very awkward and uncomfortable to use. There is a newly remodeled bath on first floor but who wants to go up and down steps constantly to get ready??? The house has a very strong Musty Oder and even when you open windows it’s still there. We left a day early because the kids (who are mostly adults) we’re complaining of headaches. The house also has a lot of bugs (ants, fruit flies, and roaches)!!! Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else and come visit this Beach

Family reunion celebration.

Incredible place to stay and enjoy the stunning view of the waterfront. Cozy and inviting cottage with everything you may need or forgot to grab on the way there. Comfortable beds you will want to stay in longer. Great outdoor space on the deck and around a bonfire in the evening. This is the place you want to come back in future. The host is very organized, and easy to communicate through email or text messages. Thank you, Angela!

About the host

Hosted by angela harris

I am a very private person, but if there is one thing you want to know about me than know this: I live my life with integrity. I do not lie and I try to always do my best in whatever situation I am thrown into.

Why they chose this property

Salty air, sun, beach and privacy is what this property is about. It is about relaxing with family, it is about cooking together in the kitchen, it is about walking to the beach, it is about drinking coffee on the deck watching the sun come up, it is about listening to the waves, cooking lobster and watching the seals swim by. It is about opening a nice bottle of wine and leaving the world behind just for a while, where no one can find you, where you are save and happy.

What makes this property unique

What makes this place unique is, that we love this house. This house has a soul, made up of every picture hung on the wall, every cushion chosen and placed a certain way, every glass bought to match the integrity of a certain drink . Everything that surrounds you is loved and has its' own story.
