Breathtaking
Myself, my husband and our 4 children stayed at this beautiful house for our March Break. The house is gorgeous, it has everything you need to entertain all ages. It is fully loaded and the hosts were always available if we needed anything at all. We are extremely happy with our experience and the kids cried leaving the house (the pool was a huge hit!!!) We will absolutely book again!

The Land Yacht is fabulous for our group of 13. The view is second to none. So bright and spacious.
This was our second stay. Overall pleased with how well stocked the house is. The owners have thought of pretty much everything. (Couldn’t find a wire whisk) lol. The only down side is the water pressure. I don’t remember it being quite as low last year but for a long weekend the positives far out weigh the negative. One of our favourite places to have our winter getaway. Thank you once again for being so accommodating.

Outstanding!!
This property is so much more than just a place to stay, it's an experience not to be missed. We stayed as a multi-generational family and there was something for everyone to enjoy. In additional to having an amazing ocean view, the kitchen is well equipped, the living area is homey and the rooms are comfortable. It feels like a cottage oasis when you're in the house sitting by the fire but all the amenities that you could need are only a 10 minute drive away. The host is incredibly responsive and accommodating. Upgrades have been made since our stay one year ago and all the little touches made our stay even better. I highly recommend this property.

Family gathering
The location is excellent: close to the highway, the city and the attractions of the south shore. We had one guest in a wheelchair and he was most impressed- he spent time both in the pool and the ocean; absolutely loved it. It was a family gathering and we had planned both a feast of lobster and a turkey dinner. We had taken certain things with us including a lobster pot and lobster shears, but overall the kitchen was well equipped and easy to work in. The “great room” and surrounding enclosed balcony is well laid out and a pleasure in which to relax. It is large enough to escape in: for some to play crib, others to read, some to chat and others just to watch the changing sky. All in all a great four days .

Housed a large family reunion, everyone had plenty of space for quiet time and together fun. The pool was a fantastic hit for all. We cooked, baked, barbeque'd and made bread. The views resembled a veranda from a cruise ship, calm water -- lives up to the Land Yacht title. Truly a great getaway

The house is beautiful with amazing views of the bay. Two of our family members could not make this family reunion so we were a party of five. If we had been the original party of seven, it would have been difficult to arrange everyone comfortably in the bedrooms. the downstairs bedrooms were very warm with no windows to open.

Observations
We think that this lovely property needs a little TLC. Had to switch out dehumidifiers, unclog sinks, replace old washing cloths. Window tracks could use a good cleaning, garden could use a good weeding. The covered wood in the garage is getting mould, and the garage smells of it. The left garage door comes off its track. Kitchen is well equipped but could use a good sorting. Towels for bath and kitchen should be replaced. We enjoyed the space and comfortable furniture. The porch area is a delight. Puzzles and games were also appreciated. The pool exhaust system is not working properly, and the humidity affects the whole house.

This was the perfect place for our family to gather for the long weekend. Plenty of room for privacy, and for family game times, meals and lounging.

We love this place and come here a couple each year to be with family in a spacious comfortable environment with so many things to do... look for sea glass at the beach, enjoy the pool and large spacious great room and solarium. Only thing to pass along this time is the upper oven was not working while we were there, and the dishwasher needs to be reattached as it tips forward when open and full of dishes. :). Grateful to have this haven so close to us.

Hi Rochelle, We do not have rodents in the Land Yacht. Perhaps you’re referring to the Ground Hogs that live in the rocks along the ocean? Secondly, we do not appreciate you and your group smoking in the sun room and smoking cannabis in the pool room. (Yes, we found an empty cannabis tin in the pool room.) That’s a direct violation of our house rules.
