The property is an old beach motel that the owners have improved, but the facilities are not up to the standard of many comparable places we stayed in Nova Scotia. The service was friendly and helpful. The property is located on a very beautiful, long and sandy beach. It is not far from restaurants and other services.

The view from the cabin was lovely. Unfortunately the floor sloped and the bed was on a slant. The shower was tiny. The bed felt like you were lying on cardboard on concrete.
