"What a delightful place to stay! We had no idea when we booked on Expedia that it is the #5 ranked place to stay in Canada. And well deserved! My son and I stayed in the "Cliffs of Fundy" tower suite. The description on Expedia did not prepare us for how impressive this suite is! It is the entire top floor and comes with two separate 3 piece bathrooms and two separate bedrooms, a king, two twin beds. I had thought it was twin bunk beds from the description but it's not. The staff is very friendly and it runs like across between a bed and breakfast and a hotel. It was very comfortable being in the home because the owners have their own separate part of the building. Paul (the owner) was our chef and came out to the dining room to greet us. We thoroughly enjoyed our delicious breakfast. Our 1st course was cranberry orange scones with coffee. The 2nd course was fruit (apple, pineapple, grapes, blueberries and strawberry) w yogurt and granola. The main course was maple leaf shaped, orange scented waffles, topped with bananas, strawberries, and blueberries and accompanied by a locally made Maple blueberry sausage. Divine! We walked to the Harbourview Restaurant for dinner. The a 2.1 km walk was lovely. Be sure to stop and use the selfie camera station. The tide turned while we had dinner and we were shocked how quickly it moved in each direction."

"Wow!!!!We have just spent the most WONDERFUL 3 nights in Cheverie, Nova Scotia at the All Tides Inn. From the moment we parked and instantly checked out the view we knew that we had chosen the right property for our shore vacation. Spotlessly clean, well and thoughtfully stocked immenities, comfortable and the best location.... we cannot possibly recommend this rental more! Excellent for a couple, 2 couples, a family with or without pets - it's just simply perfect! There is a list of touristy options, restaurants, wineries to keep you as busy (or not) as you want. All Tides Inn is just absolutely FANTASTIC!! Love it"

10/10 Excellent
"One of the best VRBOs I’ve ever rented! From the outside, it’s pretty unassuming, but once you walk in, you realize what a great place it is. It was spotless, very well laid out, and had plenty of room for the four of us.What really impressed us were all the little details—the coffee beans and grinder, books, and thoughtful touches throughout the house. You can tell a lot of care went into making the place comfortable and welcoming.And then you have the location. Right on the Bay of Fundy with an absolutely incredible view! Waking up to that scenery and watching the huge tides come and go was something special.We loved our stay and would absolutely stay here again. Definitely a 5-star experience!"

""We had a wonderful stay overall! The hosts were absolutely amazing and very communicative. The location is fantastic, and the view from the back is truly incredible—we loved spending time out there. The house has so much to offer, though it would benefit from a bit more thorough cleaning, as the couches felt a bit musty. Unfortunately, the laundry facilities weren't working during our stay, which was a minor inconvenience. Despite those few details, we were very happy with our time here and appreciate the wonderful hospitality!""
