Beautiful spot on Western Shore!
This lovely home was very well equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable week by the ocean. Our hosts were responsive to us when we had questions. We will definitely return and highly recommend to others who want to experience the beauty of the region with lots of outdoor activities and fine dining.

Perfect stay
This was a perfect ending to our trip around Nova Scotia. It was the most comfortable and relaxing spot to wind down and we were gifted a visit from the "Bluenose". As we sat at the firepit she just lowered her sails and anhored right in front of us. Very special. Shirley is an amazing and thoughtful hostess. We wanted for nothing. Bed was very comfortable and the welcoming cider was a lovely touch. Would highly recommend this accommodation. We loved that we were totally private even though there were other homes nearby. The entertainment was the free range chickens. A beautiful spot.

Relaxing week
We enjoyed this opportunity to slow down and relax. The cabin was cozy and very clean. It was thoughtfully stocked with gifts of local eggs and homemade cider, along with all the necessities. We did not meet the hosts, but they were welcoming and attentive through VRBO messaging. This is a scenic spot and a good home base for visiting the area.

Peaceful
The perfect place to get away and reconnect with family. We had an amazing time just being able to talk, play cards or cook together. A quiet peaceful sanctuary close to some beautiful places. The little extras were appreciated, fresh eggs in the fridge, homemade cider and chocolates in the bedrooms. A 10 out of 10. Would stay again.

The cottage was spotless and very well appointed. Especially the kitchen: came supplied with both pod and drip coffeemakers - and coffee along with some other staples. Communication with the owners was clear and timely. While the property lot runs down to the sea at Western Shore, the cottage was not truly "ocean front". It is set back from the ocean a bit but we could sit right beside the sea. Lovely!

The Perfect Location!
Shirley's cottage was the perfect location along the Southern Shore! Any exploring we wanted to do was just a quick, easy drive away. The cottage was exceptionally clean, and was equipped with absolutely everything! Couldn't have asked more a more perfect spot to spend our week in lovely Nova Scotia. Thanks so much Shirley and Jack for a great vacation location!

My husband and I stayed for 5 days at the beginning of October. At the time that we booked the accommodations there were not yet any reviews but we thought we would take a chance. We were not disappointed. The accommodations were spotlessly clean. The kitchen was well equipped if you choose to cook which we did. There are lots of extras in the cottage to make your stay even more pleasant. Very warm and inviting. It reminded me of European bnb or vrbo. There is a fantastic covered porch to enjoy Beautiful place for a morning coffee to and evening cocktail. There is also a fire pit right at the shoreline stocked with wood go your evening fire. There is not a single thing not to like about the place. Shirley and Jack were great. Readily available should you need anything. Would have no hesitation in recommending this accommodation.
