OUTSTANDING
Posted 29 Oct. 2024 on HomeAwayThis is a lovely private oceanfront house. Perfect blend of old house but updated tasteful interior. Location is fantastic. Even the beds are comfortable. Win,win,win!

Perfect near Lunenburg
Posted 6 Sep. 2024 on HomeAwayWell maintained house with 3 bedrooms fire pit and wonderful view. Peaceful, master bedroom overlooks water. One full bath so if you have >4 people could be tight but we were 3. Detailed communication from property owners without being overbearing. 10-15 minute drive to Lunenburg. Would definitely stay here again (near my sister in laws summer house).

Beautiful Views and Decor
Posted 24 Jul. 2024 on HomeAwayThere are so many positives about our stay at The Salty Cribb.
First, the communication was excellent. This included very detailed recommendations and information about the area; which made our stay that much more enjoyable.
Second, the views were beautiful. We saw seals and porpoises right from the beach out front, had a family rock skipping competition at sunrise, and loved hiking in the area.
The house is close to areas like Lunenburg and LaHave which we enjoyed exploring and dining at.
The property is so incredibly comfortable and thoughtfully decorated. The house is very warm without A/C, but this is easily overcome with the abundance of windows that open so you can go to sleep to the sound of waves at night.
All around, we had a perfect stay here.

Amazing place with incredible view.
Posted 21 Aug. 2023 on HomeAwayThis place was incredible. Lovely decor, unbelievable views from almost every window, and right on the water! It's close to great swimming beaches, and we enjoyed checking out "The Ovens", Rose Bay General Store, and Hirtles Beach! Some wonderful meals in Lunenberg (the Beach Pea was awesome!) and Mahone Bay (Oh my Cod!). An amazing family vacation with lots to see and do in the area.

This place was amazing. You could tell that every detail of the house was carefully thought out, and strategically placed. The house was well put together, beautifully decorated and kept the charm that represents Nova Scotia. Beds were very comfortable and the house was clean and had everything you needed. The beach was incredible, and access was right out the front door. Kids (and adults) spent hours looking for sea glass, and exploring the area. General store nice and close and surrounding small towns were easily accessible. Quiet, safe and you can't get over the view of ocean (especially from the master bedroom). I will definitely be recommending this place to friends and family and might even venture back at some point in the future. Communication with hosts was great (even sent an email to check in halfway through the visit). Highly recommend.

Great place to stay in Nova Scotia
Posted 1 Aug. 2023 on HomeAwayMy friend and I booked this place for a week to attend a writing retreat. It is in a lovely spot and the master has gorgeous views of the bay. The house is nicely appointed and we had everything we needed. It does not have AC. Given that it is coastal and highs 70-80’s, I didn’t think it would be needed. I did not account for humidity and it was rather hot, especially upstairs. It is about a 20-25 min drive to lunenberg so you need to plan your shopping.
I loved the beachy feel and great views. It is on a pretty quiet road and running in the am was also a plus. I would have preferred a coffee maker to a press but we survived.
Would have given 5 stars but it was not as clean as it should have been. The bedding in the spare bedroom did not smell clean (maybe because it was not a duvet cover it could not be easily washed? But it needed it). Sand on the carpet and the backsplash was dirty. I’m not trying to be picky, I’m generally pretty casual but it’s a pricey cleaning fee.
Although this house could sleep 5-6 easily the bathroom would be a limiting factor. It was fine for the 2 of us. We did not take advantage of the outdoor fire pit but it looked lovely.
Overall a great stay! Fantastic area! Stunning really.

Comfortable home with beautiful water views
Posted 11 Jul. 2023 on HomeAwayThe home was exactly as pictured and described. Lovely home on quiet road with great water views from porch and rooms. The kitchen, bathrooms, and linens were all very clean. However, housekeeping needs to pay closer attention to details (e.g., dirty interior doorway jams, cobwebs on porch). The mattresses need to be rotated or replaced (as sagging a bit on edge where people sit). The host’s email about arrival was informative - but failed to mention that the bridge that led to the home was closed for construction (no mention of it on web-site). Luckily one of our cell phones was still able to get a signal and we found the detours and other roads would eventually get us to the home. (The neighbor told us the bridge has been closed for a year). Even though that was disappointing, as we had wanted to be within a shorter drive into Lunenburg - we still enjoyed our relaxing stay at this home.

Lovely coastal escape
Posted 9 Jun. 2023 on HomeAwayBeautiful little house overlooking the bay in South Feltzen. Ideal location for exploring the hamlets and towns near Lunenberg. The owners took care to provide all the necessities in a comfortable, charming atmosphere. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful respite. Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean was heavenly.
