What can I say other than we didn't want to leave. My husband and I travelled to Noella's with our two daughters (aged 5 & 2) and stayed for 5 days. It is a wonderful property, just perfect for some romantic moments scattered among the many family ones. Many amazing and wonderful memories made.
The beach is amazing and definitely a highlight of this property. You can walk for hours in either direction - perfect for beachcombing sea glass and gorgeous coloured pebbles. There's also an exposed sandbar at low tide, allowing for endless digging, sandcastles and clam locating. The water was warm and shallow enough the girls could swim if wanted but also could run about. That said, I HIGHLY recommend water shoes to avoid 'lego-like' agony with the many pebbles. We all wore them and there were no complaints. We also enjoyed a beach bonfire one night while the sun set with many a marshmallow being toasted.
The actual accommodations are homey and clean. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare family meals and then some (even had a potato masher). Noella provides bottled water, which was an added perk. The beds were comfortable, the double was so soft it was like sleeping on a cloud. The screened in patio at the back was an added bonus and where mommy and daddy found themselves once the kids were in bed. It was lovely to watch the sunset colours being replaced with star-filled darkness with only the crickets to serenade us.
We were there the beginning of August which provided raspberries ready to be picked right alongside the garage. My 5 year old loved finding the ripe berries each day. That being said, August is also supposedly one of the worst months for Mosquitos. This was our only source of complaint, as even covered with repellent, they were relentless. While Noella once again provided repellant, I'd definitely suggest bringing a can or two with you as well as an itch stick or anti-itch balm. They were not enough to ruin the stay but definitely something to be aware of if visiting. We all came home with some souvenir bites.
Finally, Noella is lovely. She was accommodating and quite knowledgeable of the area. If we needed anything (ie an extra garbage bag) she happily provided and she went above and beyond to provide little perks to ensure our stay was comfortable. She was super pleasant but didn't hover either. A perfect host.
