It was our second visit enjoying Beth's cottage! Being there for our second time was just as exceptional as our first visit last year! It is our new home away from home. We look forward to next year! Beth is an exceptional hostess with supplying everything that you need. Love her personal touches of farm fresh eggs, flowers from her garden, and dog bed/bowls/blankets. The cleanliness and decor are perfection..love the new deck/seating by the beach area. She is always there for you!

This is the best property we got over that past decade!! The location is just amazing with a breathtaking view on the bay. The cottage is equipped like never seen before with a level of details that is over the top! The cleanliness and the condition of the place is 11/10 and the communication with the owner Beth is irreproachable. I do recommend this place to whoever wants to spend good, relaxing and quiet time in a peaceful environment.

Sunset Bank Cottage is amazing! We loved this cottage - very quiet and peaceful with spectacular views. The cottage is decorated beautifully, very well stocked, and so inviting and comfortable. The landscaping and flowers are stunning and really added to the ambiance. Beth is wonderful host. She checked in to make sure we didn't need anything. One of the special touches was fresh cream for coffee and fresh farm eggs. Every single thing about this property is perfect. We highly recommend!

The cottage was new and the best equipped cottage we have ever had. This host goes above and beyond to make your trip and cottage experience special. Loved walking down to the waterfront and going for a swim and watching the sunset and ocean views from the cottage :(

My husband and I had the best sleeps at Sunset Bank Cottage from June 6-8, 2025. The king mattress and pillows were so comfortable. The property is new, well appointed and offered lots of extras from an abundant supply of coffee and tea, to puzzles, binoculars, tons of towels and a full range of kitchen appliances. The property offers privacy, ample outdoor seating on the deck, and of course the sound and views of the ocean. Lots of birds in the area as well. Beth was very helpful and responsive. I would go back in a heartbeat. Maritimers are by far the warmest and friendliest of all.

Idyllic Stay

Can’t say enough good about this property. The pictures do not do it justice. The care and attention to comfort and beauty was evident in every room. Beautifully decorated- every amenity- spotless- and stunning views…we were so sad to leave. Beth- the host- obviously genuinely cares about creating an amazing guest experience from her personalized welcome note, fresh eggs and cream in the fridge, a kitchen fully stocked with spices, oil, coffee etc. Also- great yard with deck and bbq. And at the bottom of the garden a little path down to the water and a private bench for sunset views or communing with the forest and the water. Super private and perfectly situated to explore the area. Don’t miss the sunset!

Paradise at Sunset Bank Cottage

Two days of rest and relaxation in a beautiful little cottage with gorgeous views. This new build was pristine, well appointed, with thoughtful welcoming touches- personal welcome message in the chalkboard that included sunset time, basket of local toffees and bottle of bubbly, fresh flowers- and attention from the owner included hand delivery of a kitchen tool needed to complete our meal.
