"Beautiful property! Peaceful, secluded, spacious and clean! Host was very responsive with any questions we had. Waking up to wild bunnies on the lawn, the ocean view, and smelling the ocean air from our primary bedroom balcony was amazing! Perfect spot out back for claming too! All the tools you need are provided."

10/10 Excellent
"Stephanie greeted us at the door as we arrived and welcomed us not only to Albert's (her establishment) but to Shelburne as a community. Stephanie had already provided us with the offer to make dinner reservations which we unfortunately declined as we had a very late lunch after driving in off the Digby ferry. Everything about the check in process was enjoyable and we were provided direct access to Stephanie should something go amiss. Nothing went amiss other than your's truly messing up Stephanie's wonderful communal coffee/espresso/latte machine which Albert's staff had tidied up and made operational almost immediately. All in all a wonderful experience and 1 night was not enough so I am already planning my trip back"

"One of the best accommodation during this Nova Scotia trip. Check in was smooth, AC was blasting when we entered the unit (30 + degree so we were so hot), two queen beds in two separate rooms, clean kitchen and washroom. It also had creek and benches so you could enjoy nature. We were there for only one day but we will definitely recommend this place. Also there is restaurant called Mr.Fish, amazing little restaurant and you can enjoy legit seafood. We will definitely come back for longer stay. Highly recommended"

"What a great spot, a historic apartment with all the amenities in the core of one of the most charming seaside towns that feels less touched by tourist hubbub. Great eateries, a gallery or two, a museum, historic fare. And walk to all of it and then home again from Shawn’s rental. A delight!!"

Lakefront Living in a Sunset Cove with kayaks

10/10 Excellent
"Booked this site for my daughters Grade 12 graduation gift since she loves swimming and a quiet cottage.Everything was just as advertised. Scenery is just breathtaking. Relaxing for swimmers and non swimmers. Kayaks, water boards and row boat were available to use from a very accessible dock and small rock beach. The town of Shelburne is a short distance away (just over 20mins) for groceries and quite a few eat in restaurants. Wifi was good and plenty of board games to play. The heat pump was pretty valuable too. :)Kitchen was large and the bedrooms were quite cozy. There is a fireplace as well but we never used it. Helen was very responsive and answered any questions I had very quickly. We will be back to visit soon. We had an amazing time!!"
