We stayed at this cottage for one week. We are only home one day and already miss the view and waking up on the ocean. We travelled with a two year old and 8 month old and although you have to keep a close eye on them (as with anywhere) it was a great location for both to play and explore. We were greeted by a bald eagle and when we left a seal came by to put on a show out front. If you love nature and wildlife this is definitely the place to stay. The cottage had everything we needed to have a comfortable week with 4 adults and 2 kids.
In my experience the host took a while to respond to emails. Travelling with two small kids takes a lot of planning and when I asked for recommendations for a whale watching tour we were told there is lots of that info at the cottage. There was a lot of info and unfortunately we picked the wrong company. We wasted an entire day on Campebello Island waiting for a tour that was cancelled three times only to be told later by the host that the people on Campebello are "shady". We were told by another tourist about St. Andrews and the Jolly Breeze tour company. St. Andrews was awesome and the jolly breeze was great for kids. It was too bad the host didn't mention this to us as we were booked on the last tour on our last day so we didn't get the chance to enjoy the little town at all.
So, if you are travelling with kids St. Andrews is great as is the jolly breeze tour company. We also really enjoyed Irving Nature Park in St. John.
All in all it was a great trip and the location and view are remarkable.
