Oceanfront cottage on a budget!
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage! It was a good home base for exploring and visiting family nearby. The kitchen was well equipped and beds were comfortable. It was lovely to be able to look out the many windows and see the ocean or catch sight of several deer in the mornings. The host was helpful with a phone call to check in (and communication beforehand to answer questions), and the caretakers Cathie & BJ went above and beyond - very hospitable and friendly. We arrived later than planned and had a bit of trouble finding it in the dark (Google put us at the wrong address!), but Cathie came out and helped us out. The only suggestion I would add to the other feedback I've read, is you may want to bring some bottled/spring water to drink. The well water taste may not always be how it was for us, and certainly it was safe to drink, but we preferred a more familiar taste. Also, the listing may be made more accurate with updated photos of the beach. It has evolved significantly from the sandy beach in the photos, and while my kids still had a blast exploring the by climbing the rocks and finding tide pools, for a "classic" beach experience, we drove to nearby Melmerby Beach (worth the trip!). There is also a new larger deck on the ocean side of the cottage that is not pictured and is a lovely spot to sit in the morning with a coffee. Thank you for the great vacation accommodations!

The location on a bluff overlooking the water was superb. The cottage was clean and well-equipped. The caretakers were friendly and helpful in any situation. The owner checked in on us many times during our time there. The stars on a clear night were amazing. I plan to stay there again in the future.

So relaxing
Stunning views both sunrise and sunset and everywhere in between. The cottage was completely functional, had great breeze off the water and cozy. We had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation. Initially we booked for one week and jumped at the chance for the second week! 14 days was not enough time to relax and unwind and take in the breeze off the water! Wonderful spot!

It was extremely clean and well-kept. The view was absolutely beautiful morning and night. We enjoyed it so much we often to stay for a second week. Despite how warm the weather was, there was a beautiful breeze most days. Beach was completely quiet every day and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Second time was as good as the first!
This was a return visit and like the first time, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at " Beach Front Cottage". We have family in the area so the location was perfect for visiting and catching up. From the front window you can watch the fishermen bring in their catch early in the morning, enjoy visits from the local deer population, or just watch the water coming into shore, the view is spectacular. The cottage is well supplied with everything you will need. Arrive, unpack, sit back and enjoy!

An Unforgettable Holiday at Black Point
Dickens wrote ‘It was the best of times, it was the worst of times’. Storm Fiona hit Black Point hard and yet we had a most memorable holiday; in fact we extended our stay by five days. In the face of adversity, the people of Nova Scotia opened up their hearts and helped each other in every possible way. We were privileged to be a part of all that went on. In spite of Fiona, clearly Black Point is a wonderful place to spend a quiet, relaxing holiday. The cottage kitchen is equipped with every utensil known to man, and there is plenty of room for lying around reading, playing games, or simply sitting and looking out to sea. A perfect place to unwind from the hustle and bustle of the city. The host and property managers were really attentive and thoughtful, fresh flowers on the dining table, freshly baked muffins and scones…. What more could you need! Black Point has a very interesting history, some cottages are 100-plus years old and remain family owned. It is a close, caring community, and we met some very friendly and interesting people. It is also perfectly positioned to explore Nova Scotia, East, West or South. We will be recommending this property to friends and family as a perfect get-away.

Home Away From Home....I Wish..
We have always dreamed of waking up, and falling asleep for that matter, to the sounds of ocean waves crashing on the shore. We were not disappointed during our stay in this comfy nostalgic cottage. Everything described on VRBO for listing is genuine. Our host, Bill, was extremely attentive to our stay, even reimbursing us for a overpayment we didn't know we made. Our neighbors BJ and his wife were welcoming and helpful to every question we had. We live in the Boston area and decided to take the long way "Road Trip" version. It's not for the faint of heart to travel 11 hours. Staying at a hotel at a halfway point is recommended. Cannot say enough about the beauty and cleanliness of Nova Scotia. Every local we had conversations with were extremely friendly and informative. The cottage is lovely and charming in a "coming home to grandma" way. The kitchen has all the amenities you would expect and there were plenty of extra beddings and towels, etc; available for our use. The WiFi was strong and the Cable TV gave us no issues when we found the need to watch it. I would recommend a few good books and a couple of bottles of wine. Otherwise, just walking out the back door a few yards to enjoy the amazing Atlantic coast was all we needed. Thank you Bill!

Another Fantastic Vacation!
This was our fourth year in a row staying at the cottage and it seems to get better every year. We had an absolutely wonderful time and were not disappointed in any way. The place is well kept with everything you might need including a fantastic view of the water. Spent a lot of time on the beach in front of the cottage as well as a number of days we went to Melmerby beach…best beach in NS in my opinion! Mostly we just took it easy and enjoyed the tranquility of the location… very relaxing and rejuvenating! Luna, our dog probably likes the place the best…she gets so excited when she realizes where we are it’s priceless to see! She loves swimming in the ocean more than anything. The owner Bill always calls and checks to make sure everything is going well and BJ and Cathie are the nicest property managers you could hope to have. We miss the place already and will definitely be going back next year!

Million Dollar View
View was awesome and weather perfect. Cottage was well appointed and offered quiet surroundings. Day of arrival was very warm and the breeze from the windows as the temperature dropped with increased winds. The rest of our stay was filled with sunshine, walks on the beach and exploring other areas including New Glasgow, Pictou and other spots. The beaches in the area were very easy to find and lots of nice walking areas too! Great place to take a deep breath and relax. It was nice that there were caretakes in the near vicinity and the owner communicated with us too. The new pavement on the Little Harbour Road between the cottage area and New Glasgow makes driving time very short as well. Thanks for a pleasant and wonderful cottage stay.
