Beautiful, peaceful waterfront cottage!
Perfect place for two couples to relax and enjoy the beautiful harbour! John and Kathryn have thought of everything that you need for a comfortable stay. We loved watching the eagles and other birds from the deck or from the cozy window seat overlooking the water! We would definitely love to visit again!

Beautiful property, great hosts, but be aware of a few things
First off, the hosts (John and Kathryn) were fabulous. Had everything ready to go. And always so helpful with things, including switching to a firmer bed for us! They're fabulous. But there are a few things to be aware about. There are lots of bugs on the beach -- insect spray even during the day. It's a rocky beach (great for rock hunting), but you're going to have to go to Pomquet Beach for a sandy beach. The hot water in the house is limited so you need to take a timely shower and not linger around too long. The cell service (and I have both Bell and Rogers) was spotty. So if you're trying to disconnect, it's great! And to get to the house, is down a steep path. We have a SUV so it's not an issue, but it may be if you don't have good grip. Thank you for a great stay in a beautiful place.

It has it All!
We spent a great week in this clean, bright, spacious cottage that was generously supplied with everything one could wish for when travelling, from maple syrup, milk, cream, mustard, ketchup and relish in the refrigerator plus olive oil and vinegar in the terrifically outfitted kitchen to great beach towels, bbq equipment and kayaks to use. It is aptly named Quarterdeck and is a few feet from the shore of the bay with lovely views of sunset from the great room and decks. It is a quiet retreat, only minutes drive away from lovely, sandy beaches and Antigonish’s Main Street with StFX and the excellent Bauer summer theatre on campus. The principal bedroom was spacious with a very comfortable King size bed and there were two large walking closets with lots of shelves. Our hosts were warm, welcoming, responsive and even spent the time to get us set up in the kayaks and take us out on the water. A memorable visit!

Ocean Getaway
An older home that has been beautifully redone with beautiful ocean views in a woodsy area. Every bedroom has a deck or porch to enjoy. John and Kathryn have thought of everything. We felt at home immediately!

You Gotta Stay Here!
What a wonderful property! Even with the less-than-delightful weather, this home was a beauty. Thoughtfully well-appointed kitchen, super clean and loads of space. And our hosts were so welcoming - what a treat! We are so grateful. We really hope to have a chance to return.

Gem of a vacation house
This brand new house overlooks a bay, affording wonder views. Impeccably appointed and with meticulous attention to detail, this is an oasis of quiet and beauty. Hosts went far out of their way to accommodate us. An ideal place for a vacation amid nature, yet 15 minutes drive from a charming town with all the needs of civilization. Our best VRBO.
