South Shore Surf Shacks The Google rating is 5

Tucked into Queensland, minutes from Hubbards on Nova Scotia’s South Shore, South Shore Surf Shacks is a bright, beachy one-bedroom cottage made for slow mornings and salt air. Look out over « The Puddle, » a saltwater lake across the road with water access, so you can paddle out to the ocean beneath the Rails to Trails bridge. The Rails to Trails is a 3-minute walk, and Queensland Beach is a 6-minute drive, with Cleveland Beach and the village of Hubbards close by. Unwind in your private hot tub, open 24 hours a day all year, or fire up the BBQ and propane fireplace on the large deck. Inside there’s a double bed, a double pull-out sofa, a full kitchen with a retro fridge, cooktops and an air fryer/toaster oven, WiFi and self check-in. It sleeps four, so it suits a small family or two couples. It’s open year-round, for summer beach days and winter cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and ATV trails alike.
