My husband and I stayed at Susan’s place with our three and 5 year old kids for 5 nights. We had booked the trip last year but had to cancel beck as elf covid travel restrictions (we’re from the US). So glad we finally got to take our trip!
We had a wonderful time and enjoyed every second. The cottage is bright and sunny and was big enough for the 4 of us because our two kids were small enough to share one bed. We spent hours on the shore collecting sea glass, throwing rocks in the mud and water, and looking for treasures. We also saw three bald eagles fighting over a fish! The harbor was beautiful although there wasn’t much fishing action on the days we were there. We enjoyed sunsets every night around the campfire overlooking the bay.
Back Bay is a great location to visit other places. We hiked at Connor Bros Nature Preserve, took a whale watch in Saint Andrew’s, went to see the sea caves in St. Martin, and took the car ferry to Deer Island and Campobello on the way home.
The Independent grocery store is great for any food items. We stopped at Ossie’s Lunch and had great seafood and picked up frozen wild blueberries and got pie and muffins at McKay’s.
I hope we can return to Susan’s cottage next summer. It’s a great place to relax and experience nature and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
