Excellent stay

The location on a bluff overlooking the water was superb. The cottage was clean and well-equipped. The caretakers were friendly and helpful in any situation. The owner checked in on us many times during our time there. The stars on a clear night were amazing. I plan to stay there again in the future.

Another Great Stay

Our fourth year here and it does not disappoint! Beach is beautiful and and easy access to day trips to PEI or Cape Breton is the weather is not cooperating. Jacqueline had the place spotless for our arrival and JB the caretaker and his life partner Kate are true gems! Highly recommend this location!

Séjour de ressourcement

Nous avons passé deux semaines à profiter du site au pie de la mer: marches sur la plage, contemplation et jeux sur le terrain. La plage de Melmerby, à 10 minutes d’auto est magnifique. New Glasgow, tout près, offre tous les services nécessaires. Le chalet est grand, confirtable et bien équipé. On s’y sent chez soi! La décoration présente de multiples objets dont on imagine l’histoire. Malgré la proximité des voisines, le respect et le clame règnent dans le voisinage. Nous espérons y séjourner à nouveau dans les prochaines années.

So relaxing

Stunning views both sunrise and sunset and everywhere in between. The cottage was completely functional, had great breeze off the water and cozy. We had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation. Initially we booked for one week and jumped at the chance for the second week! 14 days was not enough time to relax and unwind and take in the breeze off the water! Wonderful spot!

Experience

It was extremely clean and well-kept. The view was absolutely beautiful morning and night. We enjoyed it so much we often to stay for a second week. Despite how warm the weather was, there was a beautiful breeze most days. Beach was completely quiet every day and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Second time was as good as the first!

This was a return visit and like the first time, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at " Beach Front Cottage". We have family in the area so the location was perfect for visiting and catching up. From the front window you can watch the fishermen bring in their catch early in the morning, enjoy visits from the local deer population, or just watch the water coming into shore, the view is spectacular. The cottage is well supplied with everything you will need. Arrive, unpack, sit back and enjoy!

An Unforgettable Holiday at Black Point

Dickens wrote ‘It was the best of times, it was the worst of times’. Storm Fiona hit Black Point hard and yet we had a most memorable holiday; in fact we extended our stay by five days. In the face of adversity, the people of Nova Scotia opened up their hearts and helped each other in every possible way. We were privileged to be a part of all that went on. In spite of Fiona, clearly Black Point is a wonderful place to spend a quiet, relaxing holiday. The cottage kitchen is equipped with every utensil known to man, and there is plenty of room for lying around reading, playing games, or simply sitting and looking out to sea. A perfect place to unwind from the hustle and bustle of the city. The host and property managers were really attentive and thoughtful, fresh flowers on the dining table, freshly baked muffins and scones…. What more could you need! Black Point has a very interesting history, some cottages are 100-plus years old and remain family owned. It is a close, caring community, and we met some very friendly and interesting people. It is also perfectly positioned to explore Nova Scotia, East, West or South. We will be recommending this property to friends and family as a perfect get-away.

Home Away From Home....I Wish..

We have always dreamed of waking up, and falling asleep for that matter, to the sounds of ocean waves crashing on the shore. We were not disappointed during our stay in this comfy nostalgic cottage. Everything described on VRBO for listing is genuine. Our host, Bill, was extremely attentive to our stay, even reimbursing us for a overpayment we didn't know we made. Our neighbors BJ and his wife were welcoming and helpful to every question we had. We live in the Boston area and decided to take the long way "Road Trip" version. It's not for the faint of heart to travel 11 hours. Staying at a hotel at a halfway point is recommended. Cannot say enough about the beauty and cleanliness of Nova Scotia. Every local we had conversations with were extremely friendly and informative. The cottage is lovely and charming in a "coming home to grandma" way. The kitchen has all the amenities you would expect and there were plenty of extra beddings and towels, etc; available for our use. The WiFi was strong and the Cable TV gave us no issues when we found the need to watch it. I would recommend a few good books and a couple of bottles of wine. Otherwise, just walking out the back door a few yards to enjoy the amazing Atlantic coast was all we needed. Thank you Bill!

Another Fantastic Vacation!

This was our fourth year in a row staying at the cottage and it seems to get better every year. We had an absolutely wonderful time and were not disappointed in any way. The place is well kept with everything you might need including a fantastic view of the water. Spent a lot of time on the beach in front of the cottage as well as a number of days we went to Melmerby beach…best beach in NS in my opinion! Mostly we just took it easy and enjoyed the tranquility of the location… very relaxing and rejuvenating! Luna, our dog probably likes the place the best…she gets so excited when she realizes where we are it’s priceless to see! She loves swimming in the ocean more than anything. The owner Bill always calls and checks to make sure everything is going well and BJ and Cathie are the nicest property managers you could hope to have. We miss the place already and will definitely be going back next year!

Million Dollar View

View was awesome and weather perfect. Cottage was well appointed and offered quiet surroundings. Day of arrival was very warm and the breeze from the windows as the temperature dropped with increased winds. The rest of our stay was filled with sunshine, walks on the beach and exploring other areas including New Glasgow, Pictou and other spots. The beaches in the area were very easy to find and lots of nice walking areas too! Great place to take a deep breath and relax. It was nice that there were caretakes in the near vicinity and the owner communicated with us too. The new pavement on the Little Harbour Road between the cottage area and New Glasgow makes driving time very short as well. Thanks for a pleasant and wonderful cottage stay.

Great location on Northumberland Strait

Very comfortable 3 bedroom cottage situated on the Northumberland Strait. Ideal spot for a quite holiday in rural Nova. Scotia but within a easy drive to Truro or Halifax. Cottage has all the necessary amenities for an enjoyable holiday and the owner and property manager we’re quick to respond to any problems that arose. Would definitely book again.

Probably the best experience since a long time.

The cottage kept the soul of the family who was living there. And the neighbors became friends so we could walk all along the proprieties as if we were from the family. Like a clan. In front of the long beach. With the waves banging on the rocks. A unique place on the coast of Pictou. We shall go again.

Another Perfect Vacation!

This was our third year in a row and we stayed for the first 2 weeks of August. As before, it was another perfect vacation and we wouldn't have asked for anything to be different. The cottage has absolutely everything we needed and then some. The weather cooperated once again and was great the whole time we were there. We spent the days walking on the beach and collecting interesting rocks, beach glass and driftwood. Our dog, Luna, loves the place just as much as us I think…she spent a great deal of time swimming in the water in front of the cottage whenever she could. We also spent some time at Melmerby beach (fantastic beach) with the nice weather. I loved sitting in the screen room and reading in the late afternoon. We especially loved sitting out front in the evening and taking in the sounds of the shoreline of the Northumberland Strait…so soothing for the soul. Everything else was great. WIFI worked very well. Bill, the owner, checked in on us several times to make sure everything was going well. Cathie and BJ, property managers, are especially very nice people and are very attentive to make sure everything was going okay. I could go on and on about this wonderful place that we now consider our second home. We will be definitely be back next year and are already looking forward to it and making our plans! Thanks for everything!

About the host

Hosted by Bill

The Cottage was built by my grandparents in 1946. It was refurbished by my parents in 2001 with an addition, and has been conscientiously maintained since then. A family treasure, the Cottage is located on one of the most beautiful beaches in Nova Scotia. Unfortunately, hurricane Fiona took down many trees in September 2022, so the area is still in the process of recovering.from tree loss.
