The entire area is beautiful - sandy beaches, gorgeous views, etc. The cottage is located in an area that is within driving distance of many other areas on the Eastern Shore, plus Halifax, Peggy's Cove, Minas Basin, etc. We had visits from deer, flocks of Canadian Geese, and a pair of Bald Eagles. The night sky is filled with stars. You can see the French Point Lighthouse across from the cottage. We plan to return. ##### Mary W.

We had a wonderful stay ! Thanks to the hosts, they were great ! The cottage is even better in real than advertised. There are beautiful beaches near the cottage. Our favorite one is Clam Harbor. Martinique Beach and Taylor Head are also nice. All the beaches were recommended by the hosts. Cottage is only one hour from Halifax. The host recommended to take the ferry from Dartmouth to Halifax. It was easy, cheap and nice to be on the water. It was also a great experience to see eagles from the cottage. To relax in the cottage, internet is great and there is Netflix. The only thing we dislike was the odor of the water from the well and the color orange for the warm water. Other than that it was perfect ! ##### Amelie H.

Where once you get groceries you can literally unplug (don’t worry there’s internet and cell service). And hosts that are there to welcome you/get you set up - but allow you your space to contact them as you need them, this is the rental for you! Add bald eagles, Canadian geese and pheasants, and you’ll think you’re on a deserted island-but only 10 minutes from a gym, the liquor and grocery store, pizza, fish and chips… I’ve never slept so well as I did here. It was late Fall, and even though the weather was unseasonably warm, I can just imagine what Summer is like here. You’re with 45-1 hour of Halifax-Dartmouth, for any big city things you desire, but if your needs are simple, you won’t need to go far from “home” to thoroughly enjoy yourself. ##### James C.

This Ostrea Lake cottage is a very quiet, peaceful setting to soak in the views, sunsets and Maritime living of Nova Scotia. Marvin made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We loved sipping our morning coffee on the deck looking out at the lobster boats on the ocean. We highly recommend this place at Ostrea Lake as well as the hosts! ##### Diane V.
