Lovely home

The home was perfect for us. Sadly couldn’t walk anywhere as it was located just off the highway and too narrow to safely walk on the side of it. But overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Pleasant, relaxing stay in a beautiful house

While planning our trip, we narrowed our choice to two locations in the area both listed “with an ocean view”. We chose The Lookout Cottage because the house was so lovely and it indeed is. However, it is a bay view which is nice, it is just we expected an ocean view as listed in the “Private, ocean view home” There is a sliver of an ocean view but obscured by another house. In all of the photos online, a neighboring house is not shown. Although a lot or so away, the backside including trash cans, of the neighboring house is the view from the master bedroom sliding glass doors. Havening said that, the overall view from the kitchen and living area is scenic. The view away from the water onto a field is also nice since the deer like to graze there. It’s just our home overlooks a river and we paid a bit more than usual to have what we thought would be special--an ocean view. It is definitely a five-star property, all you needed was on-site and our hosts communicative.

Lookout - for the sunsets (and the deer)

The house was immaculate, comfortable and welcoming. We had excellent beds and appreciated the high end appliances. There was even an array of basic provisions - an unexpected bonus! Above all we loved the views. Sunset from the lookout is sublime.

Scenic and Serene

The Overlook was the perfect spot to explore and enjoy the beauty of the southern shore and lighthouse trail. The house itself was incredibly comfortable and well appointed, with a beautiful view of the shore. Our host was welcoming and quick to respond to any questions we had. All in all, a great place to relax and enjoy nature.

The Lookout is an amazing place! Modern, clean, dog friendly and great communication. Everything you need down to dog dishes with a dog mat! Very welcoming atmosphere, We were greeted by 5 deer and once again at the end of our stay. The Lahave bakery and Osprey’s Nest restaurant are a must. Jill does an amazing job….many thanks!

We had a wonderful time staying at The Lookout! Jill was very communicative and made sure that we were all set with our (very) late arrival. She even looked to see when we were arriving and made suggestions about where to get groceries on our way to the property. The property was very clean and has everything you need for a good visit. There are really great activities nearby and Jill provides suggestions for those as well. Excellent visit!

Girls weekend

We booked for girls weekend. The property was lovely. A welcome note with wine greeted us upon entering. Cottage was clean and ambiance was warm and embracing. Living area is well laid out for entertaining while preparing appies. Kitchen is well equipped with anything you need and more! The deck is amazing - large and plenty of space for taking in warmth of sun or for stargazing. Communication was prompt, friendly and very informative. My group definitely recommends this little piece of paradise and will be booking another girls weekend here.
