Guest access
Welcome to Sunset bluff house located in the coastal community of Port Maitland. All travellers should be prepared to drive on a dirt road as parts of Main Shore Road are not paved. The driveway is private and well-marked with our civic address. Once you turn into the driveway, you should see our house overlooking the water.

Please be mindful of our neighbour's privacy and please keep away from the cliff. The house is well designed to give you viewpoints of the ocean at every angle.

Other things to note
The house is located in the High Head section of the quiet village of Short Beach, only a short drive (about 10 minutes) from the town of Yarmouth. Short Beach is located 10 minutes from the CAT ferry from Maine, USA.

The town of Yarmouth has restaurants, shops, harbour tours, golf and other tourist activities. Yarmouth also has several grocery stores and other shopping. The Yarmouth Links golf course is located just outside of the town of Yarmouth. Cape Forchu lighthouse and Leif Ericson Park and Trail, a local tourist attraction, is approximately a 15-minute car ride from the house.

Approximately 55 minutes to the north is the town of Digby with its world-famous scallop fleet. Digby has an excellent assortment of waterfront restaurants and shops. Just south of Digby is the entrance to a long stretch of shore and islands known as Digby Neck. Route 217 runs between the Bay of Fundy on one side and the waters of St. Mary's Bay on the other. The road winds through fishing villages and countryside and will require some short ferry crossings. The ferries run hourly 24 hours a day and are themselves worth the trip. On your way down don't miss Balancing Rock. A half hour hike takes you to the shore and the rock that seems to defy the laws of gravity. The final ferry brings you to Brier Island an ecological treasure. Some of the best whale watching in the world can be found in the waters surrounding Brier Island.

Unrepresentative Listing with Poor Communication - will not ever return to this listing
This was a long-planned trip to visit family (great grandmother & her daughter, who is our 65yo aunt). It was 3 couples (father, mother, son &his wife, daughter and her husband - and 3 children under). We come to Nova Scotia 1x / year to visit &look very much forward to it. We were fairly disgusted upon arrival as some things we noticed at the house were not representative of reality. First, the house was pictured with beautiful rocking chairs on the rear porch. These were locked up in the basement and we waited around for the property manager one day (several days after arriving) to bring them up from the locked basement. The second thing that frustrated us was how there was nothing featured on the listing showing that water was limited (1 load of clothes every other day / quick showers / etc.). The house was not overly clean (dirt under couches and on rugs). The dishwasher was not even mounted to the counter, so that every time we opened it, the whole piece nearly came crashing down on us. Finally, what frustrated us most of all was the "all but" threat that we were told we could not have any "parties" or "events" at the house because our grandmother / aunt came to visit each day. They never stayed the night at all. This had to be "settled" by the property manager coming over to "talk" with us and work this out. This was an added and unnecessary stress that we did not deserve. We abided by all the rules and occupancy requirements at all times. Horrible experience.

Outstanding, and relaxing
The property was everything we hoped for. It was private, relaxing and yet still local to all we wished to see and do. We could not have been happier.

Beautiful Location
We were treated to an amazing sunset upon our arrival. The views from the property are exactly as advertised. There were opportunities for beautiful walks, and the proximity to Yarmouth was perfect for our needs. We found the garbage directions challenging - and I suspect it would be the same for most visitors who are unfamiliar with the regulations in Nova Scotia regarding garbage and recycling.
