10/10
Nadine and Andrew have done an awesome job renovating this small 1920s cottage at Kintail Beach. They managed to honour the historic background of the cottage and provide modern conveniences at the same time.
I stayed solo for the week and it was blissful. I'm retired and in my 60s. I spent all my time on the covered front porch or at the beach. The community was quiet and friendly. The forest around the cottage is magical and listening to the waves 24/7 was lovely.
These are my notes that may help make your stay even more enjoyable:
* recommend water shoes for the beach. It is rocky.
* I opted to use bottled water although the water at the cottage is tested
* There is no WIFI and data reception can be spotty but overall was pretty good.
* The cottage was very clean and tidy. Good job cleaning woman!
* It can be cool in the cottage I think because it is nestled in the forest. Bring at least one set of warm clothes and an extra blanket. There are lots of blankets there but I brought my own.
* Bring extra bathing suits. It took a long time for my bathing suits to dry.
* The kitchen is well equipped, but no microwave.
* The gas station/general store at Amberly (about 10 minutes north on Hwy. 21 has just about everything you might need from Rice Crispies to Firewood to Beer.
*Nadine was very good at returning my texts.
* The community is made up of a variety of families. There were lots of older people at the beach just chillin' and there were lots of children playing on the beach and in the water.
* You have to walk down a dirt hill/road to get to the beach. It was not a problem but be prepared.
I really enjoyed my stay and am lookin forward to visiting again next summer!
