Non-existent listing.

Booked this six months in advance only to find that the booking was never acknowledged. Found out we didn’t have a house to stay in on the way there. Even though the property was available on VRBO the owner never intended to rent it. No communication up until the day we were arriving and then just a text. Stay away from this one.

Beautiful home

Clean, beautiful home. There was an issue two weeks prior to arrival where we were advised it was double booked. It was sorted after a day or so and the reservation was honoured. The cleaners arrived at 10 advising check out was 10 but allowed us until 11 once we showed our email with check out time showing 11. Location was perfect. Home was very clean. Priced right.

Shorewood House, Shelburne

My sister, friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Shelburne. Shorewood House was conveniently located at the beginning of the historic waterfront. It had everything you could want...we will definitely return! M., Halifax.

Best location ever!

The VRBO is perfectly located in the town of Shelburne. The house is as amazing inside as it is outside with its beautiful decks and views of Shelburne harbour. It accommodated our family beyond all expectations. Much thanks!
