Ocean view / access was great as were the blueberries along the litre trail to get there. We had a fantastic fire pit too; used 3 of 4 nights (one was rainy). It was a little further from the park than thought; but really, not an issue - beautiful drive and nice shops in the area too for enjoyment.

CanadaBeautiful location. Such a treat to have our own private path to a private ocean view. The cottage was very comfortable and perfectly equipped. Proprietors were extremely helpful. Our breakfasts were filling and delicious - the best meals we had on that side of the island. Perfect for our family of four!

Every cottage i have ever stayed at has never been this well cleaned and maintained . It was quaint and peaceful, and our wood stove kept us so so toasty ! I have nothing bad to say at all , when we come back ....We know where we will be staying .

CanadaThe owner, Ton, makes a beautiful breakfast! You can tell he loves to cook. The property is so close to the water you can hear the waves crashing all night.

CanadaFound this beautiful gem for a little winter getaway. Very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Relax by the woodstove and watch the waves through the large patio door windows. From the patio, walk down the short path to a picnic table over the beach to watch and hear the waves crashing, the seal, river otter and birds fishing. There is also another path to access the beach. The hosts are very nice and the breakfast, soup, date square and Oliebollen (dutch donuts) were excellent. Thank you!
