I had such a wonderful experience at Oceanstone! The property is absolutely beautiful, right on the beach, allowing for stunning ocean views and easy access to the sand. The cottage we stayed in was spacious, clean, and incredibly comfortable. The hospitality was outstanding, making our special weekend even more memorable. However, the lack of a restaurant on-site was a bit inconvenient for meals. Overall, it was a fantastic getaway, and I can't wait to return!

Oceanstone offers a beautiful retreat by the ocean, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The setting is stunning, but the service can be hit or miss, especially during busy events. Some of the rooms could definitely use some TLC and better cleanliness, while the dining experience has some standout dishes. Overall, it's a scenic location, but you may want to be mindful of the accommodations relative to the price you pay.

The rooms need renewal and felt a bit grimy, with one making my feet black from walking barefoot. However, some features like the jacuzzi tub added a unique touch. Overall, not the best value for the price paid.

My stay was filled with frustrations and disappointments. While the views are beautiful and the restaurant serves excellent food, the service leaves much to be desired. The accommodations fell short of expectations, especially considering the high price, and my experience was far from what I would call a resort. I would not recommend it to others.

The room was messy and poorly maintained, with evidence of bugs and a lack of cleanliness. It did have a comfortable bed, but overall, it felt more like a hunting cabin than a resort room.

The location has a nice ocean view, but it's not particularly special compared to many other spots in Nova Scotia. It’s a few minutes' drive to a better dining option.
