July 14, 2025 We had a wonderful time at the Lighthouse and hate to leave. We loved watching the seals swim by, the beautiful sunsets and the moon rising over the horizon. The views were spectacular every day, a little different depending on the weather. The house had everything we needed. We explored Lunenburg and the Oven caves and visited many nearby beaches and the Lahave bakery by car ferry. We hope to come back soon the Rodriguez, family, Kimberly, Tom, Zac, Olivia

July 24, 2025 What a beautiful place! We had such a lovely time we saw seals and fireflies and watched the comings and going's of ospreys from the osprey nest in the trees near the house. The sunsets are gorgeous and the stars are just amazing. We are visiting from the west coast of Scotland where cloudy nights are the norm so to see such stars. Wow! The house is great and we had everything we needed. Thank you very much the McMurray's

October 5, 2025 What an incredible place! Your check out info asks if there's anything that can be improved upon and honestly I can't think of anything. The Lighthouse is so special and unique and the views in all directions are just beautiful. Floating in the hot tub while looking out to sea was so relaxing and all the lovely comfortable touches around the house were the cherry on top because we never found ourselves needing anything. You can tell this is a very loved space and that makes it feel even better to be in. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful lighthouse with us to Shannon family Ottawa Ontario.
