Chelsea is one of the best AirBnB hosts we have dealt with and the cottage (not really a cottage, this is a full size home!) was awesome. The cottage is fully stocked, plenty of all the essentials to make your vacation easy. Beds were super comfortable and the bathrooms great. The beach is a mix of sand/rock, bring water shoes, the views are amazing. If you have a kyak or stand up paddle board, the bay seems like a great place to do it as the water is calm and there is lots to explore. It is a 2 bedroom, because the garage loft is accessible through the second bedroom only but it is like having 3 bedrooms. The home worked great with our 3 year old daughter.
In terms of location, it is perfect. Escuminac beach is a 10 minute drive and is a nice big sand beach that is great for kids and adults alike. You can do long walks and explore and for kids there is no current or dangerous situations.
It is 20 minutes from Point Escuminac lighthouse and nature reserve. This spot is beautiful, lots of wildlife including rare birds of prey for the bird watchers. You also see the peat cliffs which are pretty unique.
Stores, restaurants and fresh fish or lobster from the wharf is all within 10 minutes. We were lucky enough to be there for the kickoff of the August-October lobster season.
I would go back to Chelsea's place in a heart beat. It was a great escape from suburbia for us.
