Paradise Point cottage is located on a gorgeous spur of land directly overlooking the Bay of Fundy. You'll love the view and watching the tides and weather change over time. I saw a golden eagle, a huge porcupine and many, many friendly deer. It's a lovely, peaceful spot.

The cottage itself has some welcome features. There is hardwood flooring and tile throughout. No carpet. The space is well laid-out with three actual bedrooms. This means that the living room is not crowded with extra sofa beds. The wi-fi works really well compared to other, similarly isolated rentals, and there is a smart TV with Netflix. It was nice having a washer dryer. The space was toasty warm. So no problem in winter. The host is respectful and responsive.

One of the things I enjoyed most was the natural spring water that feeds the house. If you are a city-dweller, the water is going to be a revelation.

With the kitchen, I'm bucking the 100% positive review trend here. From my perspective the kitchen was more bare bones than any other places I've rented on Airbnb, VRBO or Craig's List. Maybe I've just led a charmed life, but if you also cook, you'll want to bring a chef's knife and your own sautee pans at the minimum. (The ones provided are pretty sketchy.) You'll also need paper towels and napkins, and maybe some kitchen spray cleaner and containers to store cooked food. There were plenty of dishes and flatware.

Other than a couple of past prime pans, there wasn't anything gross about the cottage. The shower curtains were new looking. The linens were fresh. I wouldn't say it was spotless - but a bit of detritus from other people's veggies in the fridge veg bins and the casual sweep out did not overly detract from the overall open and comfortable feeling.

The only real mystery was the missing indoor fireplace which was on the list of amenities. The flue was capped off and the fireplace was gone. Hopefully it will be replaced at some point, or taken off the amenities list. There was an outdoor fire pit, however.

Overall, a very good experience and very affordable give the size and location.
