“Beautiful Accomodations! Quiet and Peaceful Setting!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

Thank you Cambra Sands for a wonderful weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed our 1st anniversary at your lovely property. The cottage was pristine, the warmth of the fireplace cozy! It was truly a spot to enjoy a walk on the beach, or just sit and have our coffee as we listened to the waves! We would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and just enjoy the serenity that Cambra Sands has to offer. You will not be disappointed!

“Perfect Romantic Getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2011

I can't think of a more romantic and relaxing spot! Our cottage was beautiful and the waterfront location and beach was unbelievable. I highly recommend the romance package including dinner at Jubilee Cottage's dining room "Qi Sera." The meal was pure culinary art!
The proximity to Jost Vineyard's was a huge bonus too.

Room Tip: Highly recommend the cottage called "Castine" for those looking for a romantic getaway for...

“Beautiful spot to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2011

We stayed at Cambra Sands while attending a wedding in the area & were completely satisfied with the cottage, location and service. It was well equipped with everything we needed, had a beautiful view, comfortable beds and we enjoyed long walks on the beach with family and friends. Could have used a little morecomfy seating inside if you had 4 or more people, but it was fine for our 3 day stay.

Room Tip: Choose a cottage close to the shore for the best view (Leander) and most privacy.

“Awesome vacation getaway!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2011

Myself and about seven friends stayed here recently and positively loved it :) The cottage was very clean, large and well decorated. We enjoyed sharing the fire pit on the beach, gave us the opportunity to meet our cottage neighbors. The weather was positively beautiful. The outdoor hot tub was fantastic. Not once did we get bothered by staff regarding payment, which is nice when your trying to relax. The grounds are VERY well maintained (we really enjoyed the over sized chess set) and the cottages are spaced apart from one another very well. A few suggestions would be to get coasters (we felt bad putting drinks on the nice wooden furniture), maybe provide a small mini vacuum, and our back door was stuck quite often. Other than that we had a fantastic time :) And will hopefully be back next summer : )

“It is really a special place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2011

We drove up from NY through NB to what turned out to stay a week in Paradise. The cottage (Castine) is right on the water - beautiful beach (pretty warm & swimmable), fantastic view, and quietly peaceful. It's pretty isolated - but there is a lot to do locally - make sure to check out Tatamagouche. The cottage was clean & well kept - the staff invisible but effective! The neighboring cottages are pretty far apart, so we couldn't hear anything (including small yapping dog.)
