Lovely location, some things not as described though
This house was in a lovely secluded location, with great access to Wolfville and the Valley. There were some things missing from the listing - the hot tub, toys for the younger kids and a pack and play. Linda arranged for a pack and play to be dropped off along with some toys suitable for our 2 yr old. Some bedding and towels were torn, the dock was no longer accessible; the house is obviously well loved but starting to show its age in places. We notice some areas had not been cleaned when we arrived.

fabulous location but too close to neighbours
The house is well appointed with amazing views. It wasn't very clean but passable. Four of us stayed in the house and we were visiting relatives who live nearby. We had a bbq in the garden with the family and apparently this upset the neighbours. The host told us she left a note telling us no fires but we didn't find it. We had a fire I the firepit the first night as this was within local regulations - our family know the regs. The neighbours complained about this. On the last day we left very early but my son and stepson stayed on to clean the house and leave everything in good order. The host turned all the power off a little before the check out time which wasn't helpful at all. Overall a good place to stay if you are not planning a get together!

Relaxing stay at Lake House
We stayed here with our three kids, 18, 14 and 11. There was plenty of space for everyone to have their privacy plus lots of family space too. Very quiet road but still close to all the amenities that Wolfville and Port Williams have to offer, not to mention wineries, cideries, antique stores and fun adventures to be had. Will definitely be looking to stay here again when we are next in the area.

Tranquility on the Bay of Fundy
Tide House was perfect for our friends gathering with four bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an open style main space. Comfy beds, oodles of privacy, and access to amazing landscapes/food/wine in Annapolis Valley. Short trips to restaurants and markets in the area, and easy day trips to Lunenburg, Mahone Bay or Halifax (1 hr away). Highly recommend this for 4-8 adults or 2 families with littles. Thank you to host Linda H.

It was great!
We spent a week here in July. The house was extremely clean and it was very quiet. The kitchen was well equipped with quality cookware and utensils. We enjoyed seeing eagles fly over the backyard as well as a hummingbird that showed up most evenings. Watching the tide in the Bay of Fundy was most interesting. After a brief, but heavy, shower one afternoon we were happy to see one of the most beautiful rainbows ever! I have a photo of it stretching all the way across the backyard over the Bay. We would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable and relaxing cottage vacation
We enjoyed staying here. All the comforts of home in a beautifully appointed vacation property located at the new Minas basin where we could watch the tides come and go. Lots of space inside with a beautiful outside patio and lawn as well.

Wonderful Place by the ocean
Great house - my 11-year-old and I had a fantastic time. Very well-equipped kitchen, and the whole place is clean and attractive. A bit of a scramble down to a nice beach. Great bird-watching and tons of space for outdoor activities.

The only complaint would be we came when it was hot and the air conditioner couldn’t keep up. A second couch or chairs in the tv room would be nice. That being said it was very nice.

Great Stay !!
This seaside cottage has everything you need for a relaxing vacation, starting with a well appointed kitchen and dining area with a big window that looks onto the Bay of Fundy. The decor is a pleasing blend of rustic charm with modern touches. The beds and furniture are comfy. Ww spent many hours watching the tide and sunlight bouncing off the water while relaxing on the private deck. The many nearby wineries offer exceptional dining and viewpoints. If you choose to bbq at home, a gourmet butcher that also offers farm fresh vegetables and home style desserts is just moments away. Anne is an attentive host and lost no time in responding to our questions and concerns. Everyone had a great time.

Quiet, so quiet and the summer breeze...
What a great place to just be. Completely awestruck with the tides. To watch the bald eagles on the tidal flats at dawn from the edge of the property was magical. Cottage had every thing we could want. A lot of care has gone into the details of the cottage both on decor and comfort. We simply loved our stay.

Well equipped and beautiful!
Lovely location and house was very clean and as advertised. Access to the water front was via a ladder so those with mobility issues may not be able to handle. The garden was lovely and the bird song a delight! The house was well stocked with all the basics, much more so than many other places! Highly recommend!

Tranquil and comfortable
High Tide was perfect for my purposes. The home was in great shape with four comfortable bedrooms. It was a bonus for linens to be included. The home had everything we needed to feel at home including a grill. The area is gorgeous and lupins were in full bloom! Walking the shore at low time was quite spectacular! I enjoyed dinners at nearby restaurants including the Hall's Harbour Lobster Pound and The Noodle Guy in Port Williams. Area vineyards were quite spectacular as well, I highly recommend this property.

Spacious cottage on the shore
We spent a week exploring the area from our base at this comfy home. It's in a very quiet area, a bit out of the way, but still only 10 min to a great beach (Kingsport), wineries, groceries (Noggins), Wolfville. Spacious, comfortable, great for relaxing. Nice deck in the garden, BBQ, view of the tidal bay across the garden.

Nova Scotia vacation
The property was ideal for our stay. Away from touristy areas but close enough for day trips there. The property is very clean, comfortable and well decorated. Beautiful views. There are several wineries, breweries an good restaurants in the area without having a lineup to get in. To clear up one of the reviews about the waterfront and if one could fish or swim at the property, the high tides increase or decrease as days go by. For the first few days we got to the property, the high tide had the water edge about 30' from the dock and swimming or fishing would not be suitable although at the end of the road local residents fish every day at high tide for striped bass. Latter in the week I was surprised that high tide brought the water right to the dock and 2 properties away kids were swimming and the father was fishing. There are beaches within 10 minutes which is where we decided to swim. Thanks Anne and Rachel for the nice stay on our vacation.
