Guest comment, 2006.  
 
“All of us came home with the most wonderful memories of "the best  
family vacation yet" (and we've been doing it for more than 15  
years!).The house and the scenery were wonderful...We loved the  
small nearby communities...people were incredibly friendly and  
helpful. The lighthouses (especially Walton, thanks to Gloria’s  
information) were so interesting. Adventures on the beach at  
different tide times was so unusual and fascinating. All of it was  
so special. And thanks so much for supplying the ping-pong  
table...we did have quite a tournament where we all participated.  
The croquet, badminton and the wonderful space for our kite flying  
added to our enjoyment. Also, we all thoroughly enjoyed both the  
fossil walk at Rainey Cove and the very spectacular tidal bore  
rafting experience. Three generations of the C. Family, Texas,  
California and Massachusetts.  
 
 
 
Shore Haven House by the Sea 
 
Shore Haven offers the opportunity for the vacation of a lifetime,  
absorb the sites and sounds of the Atlantic ocean and the beach.  
It's a peaceful private sanctuary on the Atlantic ocean, with all  
modern conveniences, breathtaking views, a private beachfront where  
you can swim in the mellow salt water, explore tidal pools, surround  
yourself with the experience of the ocean sounds of surf, walk for  
miles on the sculpted sand beach, or enjoy pastoral fields, and  
wooded and brookside walkways. 
 
Shore Haven is far from the hustle and bustle of city life; and yet  
it's still close to all that the city offers, if you choose.  
 
This custom built, modern house of exceptional quality provides  
superb, luxury accommodations for up to 12 people (four bedrooms, 2  
bathrooms).  
 
The main level offers over 1,000 square feet of first-class living  
space. It's wonderfully designed to capitalize on the amazing ocean  
views and great floods of light. The living room, dining room, &  
kitchen offer a spacious open-concept layout -- with huge windows  
looking out over the water. For an outdoor view of the water, patio  
doors lead from the dining area onto the large deck -- complete with  
a gas barbecue. All of this is tastefully decorated with high  
quality & comfortable furnishings (a sofa and three recliners) hand- 
crafted leaded-glass light fixtures, and original art. The gourmet  
kitchen with hand-built butternut cabinetry is completely equipped  
with six full-size appliances -- a dishwasher, fridge, stove,  
washer, dryer, and microwave and quality cookware and dishes.  
 
The main level has two spacious bedrooms -- both with queen-size  
beds. The master bedroom is furnished with contemporary Scandinavian  
teak furniture. It features an ensuite door to the four-piece  
bathroom with a jacuzzi tub. The second bedroom (queen) offers a  
wonderful view of the water. The bright ground floor of the house  
provides 2 more bedrooms (queen, twins) a 3 piece bath with superb  
sit-down shower and huge ocean-view recreation room. The recreation  
room is equipped with a ping-pong table. Satelite TV, a DVD player,  
telephone and mini-stereo are also available.  
 
A private and very charming ocean view summer house (with ocean view  
deck, three piece bath, kitchenette, a double pull-out and bunks )  
is also available for an extra rental fee of $600 Canadian. This is  
a perfect private space for large groups or a quiet retreat for  
reading, relaxing and listening to the roar of the surf.

traditional experience of Nova Scotia. We are delighted to share this 
peaceful 60 acres of "heaven" with others who also want to walk  
gently on the earth and preserve its beauty and peace. All of our  
guest services emphasize and illustrate care for the environment.

amethyst crystals), and ocean swimming.
