We enjoyed a glorious vacation at Sandy Cove and Nova Scotia! It was so nicely comfortable, well-equipped, easy, beautiful and peaceful! All of the accommodations are very nice, from the pillows and linens, dishware and cookware and furniture, inside and outside, to the great washer and dryer. The property and place were neat, clean, tidy, well-organized, convenient and very thoughtfully provided, and we thoroughly enjoyed the outside chairs and decks. We paddled the boat and kayak, which was great fun, and sat by the water of the cove a couple of times every day. We loved sighting around the large property the local shy foxes and pheasants, and saw gorgeous bald eagles and bird life, (no bears or mooses which we really wanted to see!). We have never enjoyed so much good lobster, haddock, scallops and mussels - all we ate the whole time there, often at the cottage but also in good restaurants! And necessary shopping was easy - and the local natives are nice and pleasant as can be, even to "outsiders". We enjoyed our explorations all around NS: we really enjoyed the excellent Fisheries Museum in Lunenberg (with an aquarium!) and the Maritime Museum in Halifax, shopping in Mahone Bay and quaint shops, seeking out little lighthouses and the outstanding Peggy's Cove, the North Shore's Bay of Fundy and the whole scenic, historic South Shore, fantastic Cape Breton and all the wonderful history and preservation of history and architecture, and the absolutely beautiful nature and conservation of natural resources - we also loved the Canadian dedication to recycling, composting, smaller, more fuel-efficient cars and no littering! But without question, one of the of nicest things was coming "home" to the cottage in the evening - it was incredibly comfortable, easy-living and beautifully scenic and made this vacation much more restful and relaxing for us far from home. The cottage was so pretty to wake up to in the morning - surrounded by beautiful scenery, gorgeous water, trees, wildflowers, sky and breezes, and as much privacy as one could hope for. When we returned home to SC, we brought those wonderful memories and feelings back with us, amazingly well-rested and peaceful. We cannot thank the owners and the delightful, helpful caretaker Doreen enough for everything they did, all they do, to share the wonderful, beautiful Sandy Cove with their guests! We truly hope to go there again and will never forget this loveliest vacation. Really highly recommended.
