Guest Testimonials

Thanks so very much for opening this amazing "house-with-a-view!" Sanderling Beach House is utterly amazing! The design totally allows every room to enjoy and celebrate the beauty of its surroundings. Thank you for the special things you've allowed us to use in your home, too; from the fine sheets and towels to quilts and good (Henckel's) knives. Great job! Those things really enhanced our stay. We will definitely be back! Nature's beauty was amazing! Spectacular! Unbelievable!

We've had a great week. Weather was beautiful; sunny and warm almost everyday. We went to Halifax, Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg, Bridgewater, Shelburne, Lockeport and Mahone Bay. Our cottage was lovely and the view was breathtaking! Crescent Beach in Lockeport is lovely!

This relaxing beachfront home is a seaside sanctuary immersed in nature. Modern framed views overlooking the treetops, sand dunes, and pristine white beach. Beach Heaven is a perfect getaway for anyone looking to recharge. We were spoiled with wood fired saunas stoked by our hosts. We would highly recommend this stylish home to anyone looking for an ocean adventure retreat.

I am leaving tomorrow but I don't want to go. I knew the moment I stepped into this beautiful cottage that I would have a wonderful week! The cottage, the weather, Carter's Beach, Summerville, the surrounding area and general good feelings generated from the ocean and fresh air was so much worth coming to Port Mouton.
