JadaRating, 5 stars8 months ago

Cindy's place was exactly what we needed. We were 4 adults travellings for a ceremony, and it was just the right amount of space. Cindy was very clear and accurate in her descriptions, and instructions. We arrived well after dark, but it was easy to find. The space was VERY clean, and beautifully accessorized. There was a variety of coffees, and oatmeal, and to our surprise lots of critters such as dogs, cats, chickens and a bunny on the property. It is a perfect getaway for a disconnect from the city life. Highly recommend, and will definitely book again when in the area. Thanks Cindy and family for hosting us.

Great place for us to spend a night on our trip back from PEI. The home is roomy and clean. The hosts have the basement suite so you have the entire main floor! Beautiful big deck out back overlooking the ocean in the distance. Pictou about a 20 minute drive away…… if you enjoy live music make sure to check out the deCoste Centre………beautiful and intimate venue! Thanks Paul and Eleanor for a nice stay!

Seaside Sanctuary Secluded Shipping Container

GregRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This is a lovely, secluded spot that offered the spa like setting that we were looking for. Robert was super easy to communicate with, was gracious with checkin flexibility where the space was read for us ahead of typical checkin time. He offered ample information by way of a resource in the space for reference. He was timely in his responses to inquiry. If you're looking to unplug, and have a quiet getaway in a cute and cozy spot, this is an ideal consideration!

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. Bryan was an excellent host who went out of his way to ensure we had an overall excellent experience. This house is everything you see in the photos/ description and more. The kids absolutely loved the basement. This property is located in the prettiest area less than 20 minutes away from the town. We highly recommend it :)

We would highly recommend staying here! Beds were comfy, view is amazing (we especially loved the sun room), and not far from town when you need something. They were quick to respond and provide proactive information/reminders.

Cottage in Toney River

Beachfront Cottage in Toney River

ClareRating, 5 stars7 months ago

When we booked this absolutely beautiful modern beach house from Australia we were seeking a unique, quintessential Nova Scotian holiday home to use as a base for 4 nights …. and we found all this and more at this delightful, special property. It has direct access to the beach (no road between the beach and the house) and we loved walking on the beach and enjoyed sitting on the large front deck spotting seals, fishing boats and the occasional cruise ship heading to PEI. It was totally peaceful. We visited the cute villages of Pictou and Tatamagouche and Ian did a private guided shore fishing excursion. If you are an overseas visitor, visiting out of season, I’d recommend picking up some tourist information at a bigger centre as the local tourist offices had closed for the season and the online information isn’t huge. We loved our stay at this great AirB&B property.

Sinclair Island House on Cliff

SarahRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We were so fortunate to spend spring break at Mark's place with our 3 kids. Upon walking in the view of the ocean is breathtaking. Mark has done an impeccable job renovating this place. The kitchen is a dream (hello gas oven ❤️) and the shower is super cool. The basement was perfect for our two older kids to have their own space. We really appreciated all the games and activities he provided - hours of fun just with monopoly and scrabble. That's the thing about this place - being inside it is a vacation in itself. So many touches to this place that make it stand out from the many others we have stayed. Thank you so much for sharing your space with us.

TeaMac Manor

LauraRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Beautiful place, lovely hosts and comfortable bed! Cute place in a great location. You have your own entrance but it's not very private as the space is connected to the home, so you can hear people talking and moving around inside. The hosts greeted us in person however and were very personable and warm! Good stay overall.

A functional kitchen displays wooden cabinetry and a white stove with an oven underneath a large window. A small microwave, coffee maker, and kettle are neatly arranged on the countertop. Soft lighting from a pendant illuminates the space, enhancing its practicality.

Your Shoe-in on East River Road

StephRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Five stars! I know I'm not the first reviewer to say this, but the photos don't do this place justice. It's so spacious and has lovely little architectual details that don't show up in the pics. Loved the luxury of having two bathrooms while traveling with a friend, especially the ensuite one in the master bedroom. Robert's place is squeaky clean and with a home-y vibe. The beds and pillows were comfortable and seemed new-ish and I appreciated finding a nice tea selection after a long day on the road. My friend was grateful to have a soak in the clawfoot tub (which was kitted out with all sorts of salts/bath bombs, etc) after travelling. When she realized the hair blowdryer was missing, we messaged Robert and he came over immediately with a new one. We both really appreciated that, and how quickly he responded. Glad we found this little gem!

A bright corner seating area features two light-colored chairs with decorative cushions, positioned around a round table. A small vase of sunflowers adds a touch of color, while natural light streams in through multiple windows, enhancing the warm ambiance of the space.

The Mustard Couch

AlexRating, 5 stars8 months ago

Great spot to stay. In town for work- good location, close to the hospital and town. Not the most sound proof from the family/kids upstairs but it’s great other than that! Would recommend if you’re looking for a cozy spot to stay.
