Experience at the Lodge
We stayed at this property for a week with a group of 10. While the space had potential, there were several issues that made our stay less enjoyable.First, the listing says it sleeps 10, but there was realistically only enough space for 8 to sleep comfortably.The biggest issue was the water. It went out almost daily during our stay, and although three different people came to try and fix it, the problem was never fully resolved. It made basic daily needs like showering and cooking a constant challenge.In terms of the view, while the ocean is visible, it’s partially obstructed by a dilapidated house directly to the right, there’s what appears to be a condemned building with questionable activity happening around it, which made us feel uneasy at times.This property has potential, but it needs reliable utilities, a more accurate description, and attention to the surrounding environment to be a more comfortable and relaxing place to stay.

Disappointing
While the photos of the view from this facility are not inaccurate, they are also not a full depiction of the home. First, there is indeed a large and one of the most dilapidated buildings I've ever seen right across the street, obscuring your view to the right.The property itself looks like it was one time a very beautiful yard. However, it is overgrown and uncared for. Most importantly, inside the property appears to be an old farm house that someone converted to rustic cabin.... there is a definite odor to the house, the decor haphazard and mismatched. The house was baking hot when we got there and it is not air conditioned. We began opening windows both to cool it off and air out the smell. Several of the windows did not have screens including in the master bedroom. We had to move around screens to be able to cool off that area of the house.The home was generally clean but looking under the beds and in corners you could see it needed a deep clean.In terms of how it was appointed, the beds were not awesome, the bedding did not include a comforter, there were no facecloths or hand towels provided (although we found some in a dresser), hanging rods in the closets were either non existent or installed haphazardly, towels had a musty smell to them, the kitchen had random jars of things that were not labelled, and the owners things were placed throughout the property. If you are not fussy about these things, then you may enjoy a stay here. But otherwise beware.

Great place to stay
We enjoyed our 4 night stay at The Lodge. The ocean view and sunrises were awesome. The house was comfortable and had lots of room to hang out when we were not out checking out all the nearby attractions. Could maybe use a few more plates and cutlery along with dish towels which we could not find. All around a good first Vrbo experience.

Lodge Surprize
We found the Lodge was easy to get to using GPS but were shocked when we arrived. Across from the house is a derelict building with people living in it. Not certain if it was legal or squatters but it was a awful and embarrassing to look at and have visitors for dinner there. There was a burnt out light in the bathroom which we had to get a bulb for and replace ourselves, no facecloths in the two upstairs bathrooms, had a very hard time getting wifi and even then was very spotty, the mirror doors at the hall closet did not open well, the front bedroom upstairs did not have a shade on the ceiling light, only a bare bulb, and none of the bedrooms had shelving or drawers to put your clothes etc. It was wonderful to listen to the ocean waves roll but we can not say that we or our guests would recommend this place to stay. Very disappointing as there was no mention of the rundown shack with burnt walls, boarded windows and doors that we would have to look at all the time unless we kept out sight turned hard to the left. This place needs to have someone from VRBO go there to actually see what is being advertised on your site as this was not an insignificant price.

Beautiful secluded location
Just off the main road between Hubbards and bBayswater Beach this house is perfectly located on Margaret’s Bay. The house itself is equipped with good beds, kitchen equipment, with a minimum of utensils, dishes, and sponges . The little deck off the downstairs bedroom is just perfect for evening talks. Looking out from there on Margaret’s Bay is wonderful, but you have to keep your eyes to the left. The reason for this is the occupied cannery across the street is a real eyesore as well as the ramshackle shed by the driveway. We loved our trips to Bayswater beach.The two little fishing coves on the way were some of the most idyllic sites I’ve ever seen in Nova Scotia. A great stay for a great price.

Property is nice. Pretty view on the sea, except the old building in front. Really good spot to see the stars at night, really calm.
The washer machine and dryer should be change, the dryer is almost dangerous !

Adequate stay
Nice views aside from the abandoned canning facility. The house is comfortable but needs to be cleaned. Many corners are home to spiderwebs, some that are obviously old. There is plenty of dust build up below furniture and on the floors in general. Kitchen is functional and appliances worked, but again things needed to be cleaned before use.

Weather the Hurricane Lee
We as a group fell in love with the view. The house was cozy and inviting. We as a team tried to secure the outside furniture, but the hurricane took down 2 50' spruce trees and one fell on the shed with the lawn equipment. We were out power during the night. Fortunately we pack flashlights. The house was missing the code for wi-fi and the tv was upstairs and none downstairs. The washer and dryer was a plus but the dryer needs to be replace. It is so noisy. Thank you for sharing your home to our group of seniors.

Great views. Poor property
Older property on the sea. Garden not maintained. Upon entry, it smells of an older property. The bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs were clean. The ground floor bedroom, well, between spiders webs, flies and dust, not very pleasant.
The dishes and drawers were very dirty. The dishwasher doesn’t work well, the floor was full of dust, and the vacuum cleaner hasn’t seen a clean in few months… once we cleaned what we needed we were fine. I’m terms of kitchen hygiene, very poor. I connected with owner who said he would pass on comments to cleaner.
Mosquitoes nets are partly damaged… Not many dishes either when you advertise a property for 10. Certainly not 10 plates available, or knives and folks either.
Shame as it could be a nice spot. I was very surprised at some previous reviews. Disappointing.

Quaint place with a great view
For the price, I really have no complaints. It’s a cute place. Waking up to the sound of waves and the beautiful view was fantastic! It is very close to the road, so there is a little road noise. The house is older so a few bugs do seem to make their way in, but that is to be expected. They have plenty of fans if you need some air movement, since there is no air conditioning. We were comfortable though with the windows open for night. I would stay here again. We enjoyed our time here.

A few things need correction:
Everything was fine except:
1) Umbrella needed for the deck - it faces east.
2) More furniture needed for living room - a couple of coffee tables and floor lamps and perhaps a rug.
3) The dishwasher leaks to floor; we were unable to use it!

Another Great Stay
Our 2nd time here and another great stay. Accommodations were great for 4 adults & 4 kids. Roomy, clean and the bathroom
/shower facilities are very good. Beds are comfy as well. It is a pretty quiet area but close to the Bayswater beach. Lots of firewood available for campfires & water views are beautiful. Only complaint would be that a couple of bedroom windows don’t have screens. Otherwise another great stay.
The lodge was well laid out eith sufficient room. Large kitchen allowing 4 people easy use. Thr kitchen was well supplied with utensils. Large refrigerator stove,We were comfortable eith bedrooms. 3 bathrooms allowed privacy and a downstairs bathroom and bedroom was CB perfect for our disabled friend. We enjoyed the bslcon facing the ocean
The view was spectacular. The small towns were all convenient eith shopping snd dining areas. Tge beaches handy as well
Unfortunately we were not provided eith a contact number that would have provided security. We made numerous attempts to access
A good handy man could repair the screens
We were plagued by flying ants that were in the hundreds. We used Raid that is toxic. We wore a mask but it is harmful
We would have appreciated instructions on the use of TV
Our overall experience was greatly appreciated
Thank you

Sailboat watching, seals and beautiful water
Charming inviting home with a huge kitchen three people can be preparing in and won't get in each other's way. Very comfortable beds and two great sitting areas, one on each floor. Great to have the2.5 washrooms. Loved sitting out the front deck overlooking the water in comfortable cushion set. Be nice to have a couple fold up small stands for food/drinks then could use them on side deck and bring them in to use for coffee table .
All went well and we were greeted with flowers,fruit and wine. Very touching.
I would love to return in the fall. Beach only 15 min away.
