I had an amazing stay with my husband for my birthday. The owner was super sweet and left me a gift and wine as a gift. The place was immaculate and I could not have asked for a better location. Perfectly nestled between Southampton and Port Elgi n and a short drive to Sauble Beach. We had the most gorgeous sunset each night which we watched from our private chairs on the beach. 5 stars all around

Not for seniors

-furniture was very low and uncomfortable - beds were too low and uncomfortable -screens missing off windows- would have been helpful to have 2 floor fans for 2 upper hot bedrooms- fire pit had only 1 Chair and located under trees-cushions on 2 outside chairs were soaking wet-** cover them or bring them in -- no hot water (no water)in tap in 2 piece upper bathroom-upper bedroom windows needed a curtain or blinds- other than that - location was perfect and close to water and walking paths

Beach sunset views with property backing onto conservation area can’t beat it! Above and beyond!

Totally impressed as soon as we walked in, every space was above and beyond stocked and thoughtfully equipped and super clean too. Nothing missed for both adult and child in mind …from toiletries, games, stuffed animals, bedding, decor, even window seat reading corners in each room. And a welcoming bottle of wine and popcorn maker! Total comfort and friendly cottage little Crescent literally on Miramichi Bay.Outdoors was ready sliding patio door off the kitchen patio seating, a bonfire ready for use with kindling and wood. Super clean, steps to exquisite waterfront sunset views and whole area is backed onto trails and trails of conservation area. Will definitely return and next time packing way less as all we needed was an and next time packing way less as all we needed was our personal clothing, amenities, and groceries… the rest was set - cottage life all around!
