We stayed at Whitecaps for a week in August. We stayed at the Beach House while other family members stayed at the Summit House up the hill. The Beach House was excellent - clean, well equipped, great kitchen/bathrooms/bedrooms and wonderful views of the bay. We loved sitting on the expansive deck in the afternoon sun. We enjoyed a lobster boil, bonfire, walks with the dog on the beach. The occasional fog and swells from an offshore hurricane added to the whole maritime experience!

Our family of 10 had a wonderful week. The house is very comfortable and has everything one would need. The beach is lovely and safe for the children who spent many joyful hours swimming and playing in the sand. Highly recommend as a vacation retreat.

The perfect place to simply rest, cook, play on the local beach, collect rocks, birdwatch; or go on an adventure, and explore the multitude of treasured quaint places in the vicinity. Squeaky clean with everything you need, set in a spectacular corner of this marvellous province. We loved everything.

This property is amazing! We were very impressed with the attention to detail. The little extras make a big difference; beach chairs, extra towels, fully stocked kitchen etc. The views are incredible, the beach very secluded. We enjoyed watching the seals and porpoises each morning sitting on the deck with our coffee. The town of Lunenburg was a treasure. The artist community is thriving and we were all able to find unique pieces to bring home. Gaff point hike and Hirtle beach was a short drive and perfect activity for a hazy, drizzly day. The general store has an amazing breakfast and any items you may need. We enjoyed the time together in a quiet, peaceful setting. The Welch Family

Like a favorite book we couldn't resist revisiting, this enchanting getaway called us back for an encore. And just as a beloved story reveals new details with each read, our second stay unveiled fresh charms we'd missed before. Now, with two chapters of memories etched in our hearts, we're already daydreaming about the next installment in our vacation saga. This isn't just a rental; it's become our home-away-from-home, a place where our story continues to unfold. We'll be back, eager to write the next page in our ongoing adventure at this magical retreat.

The Whitecaps Retreat Beach House is spectacular! Beautiful, sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, direct beach access, well-appointed and very comfortable home with everything you need and more. We so enjoyed watching sunsets on the deck, sailboats gliding by and birds swooping down. We loved walking the beach at low tide and exploring the area around Lower LaHave, Rose Bay, Riverport and beyond. Other beaches are nearby but we found the one near the house to be the best as it was secluded and extensive. Would only highlight - as the listing says - that the stairs to the beach are steep with a rocky drop-off so if you have anyone in your party with mobility or balance issues, or who needs a little extra assistance, be prepared with a walking stick - we eventually found a piece of driftwood on the beach that worked well for my 78-year-old father but it would have been nice to have had this with us from the get-go. Overall, this was an excellent, wonderful, spectacular stay. The hosts are very responsive to anything you need. We'd be happy to return again!

A few of my best friends joined me to celebrate my 50th birthday. The property was perfect for gathering on the deck, in the living room and around the large dining table. It was a great time!

We really enjoyed our stay. It is a beautiful house and the location is just perfect. The host was very prompt in answering any question that we had and was very accommodating when there was an emergency. I will highly recommend this place to everyone. There were a couple of things that I did not like. First, the listing said breakfast was included, but there was nothing, not even basic condiments. Second, the bathroom water had a weird smell, and there was no soap or body wash in the shower. Other than that, we had a great time in this house. Thank you for letting us stay at your place.
