Imagine driving over 10 hours to arrive on Grand Manan island, only to find out that you are on the short end of an double booking and without a place to stay. That is exactly what happened to us. Further, this wasn’t the first screw up that was made during the booking process. Initially, we were told in writing, that two suites were available for the week that we had chosen. We arranged to take time off work and we booked a dog sitter but, when we went to book the suite the very next day, we were told that they both were already booked and that they never had been available. We were told that they had a free room, the previous week so, we rearranged our schedules to accommodate their availability. Once on the island, we were told that they only realized that there was a double booking only an hour before we were to arrive and that they had sent us an email. We were already on the ferry by that time! I do not understand how they could screw up. Do they not review and re-review their bookings? One of the owners of SeaCliff Cottage Suites is also professional travel agent/consultant! Imagine that. They did try to find us an alternate place to stay but, the first place that was offered up was a dump and also not available for the full week that we had planned to stay. We did book with the second place that was offered but, it lacked the full kitchen and laundry accessibility that we were expecting to have at SeaCliff Cottage Suites. The locals also told us about work/blasting that had been scheduled and rescheduled to happen to the harbour area, that some businesses were closed because of it and that there was a risk that buildings near the area might need to evacuate. The owners of SeaCliff Cottage Suites never mentioned that possibility when we were booking only the month before. We booked at SeaCliff Cottage Suites based on all these lovely reviews that you see here. Perhaps our review will make others take pause before they book or at the very least, triple check their reservation before they set out for Grand Manan.

SeaCliff is a wonderful place to unwind. It overlooks the harbour and is literally seconds away after getting off the ferry. The views are terrific. Les and Debbie are wonderful hosts who take great pride in their place. They can give you many suggestions on what to see and where to eat. The units are cozy and have all that you need for an extended stay. Five stars!

We have stayed at Creekside Cottage twice, once in 2016 under the previous owners, and for two weeks during the summer of 2018 under the current management. The standards here have not slipped. The cottage is tucked in among the trees and is very quiet and private. The furnishings are attractive and tasteful for the setting. It's hard to describe how peaceful it really is. We spent many hours reading on the porch being visited by deer, hummingbirds, and once, a flock of cedar waxwings. Every night we strolled up to the iconic North Head lighthouse to watch the sunset. Our host was very attentive, and brought 2 bicycles to the cottage when we expressed an interest in doing some cycling. No extra charge. He gladly gave us a tour of the waterfront cottages. They are gorgeous, and the view unbelievable. However, we were not sorry we chose Creekside.

Feel your every day stresses melt away as you enjoy these quaint well-kept cottages. We stayed at Creekside cottage which is not waterfront but there are two other cottages available with waterfront views/access. Creekside is tucked away which was our preference. The hosts are unbelievably attentive, thoughtful and responsive...... and genuinely friendly! Beautiful island to explore and unwind. It was hard to leave.

We stayed in Creekside Cottage for two weeks while we vacationed on Grand Manan Island. This delightful cottage was charming and so very comfortable. It was set in the trees and had a special energy all its own, complete with the deer who often joined as we ate breakfast or enjoyed coffee in the big Muskoka chairs on the front porch. This was the most well equipped cottage that we have stayed in during any of our travels. Our hosts Sue and Clyde Mcculley had thoughtfully provided everything we would need to feel at home on the island. They welcomed us warmly with a gift basket full of goodies and made sure that we knew about amenities and invited us to special island activities that were taking place. They also contacted us throughout our stay to make sure we were comfortable and to see if supplies needed replenishing. The bed and bedding were so comfortable that we slept soundly every night and woke refreshed every morning eager to see what the day would hold as we set out on another adventure hiking cliffs, watching whales and seals, or exploring beaches and watching sunsets over the ocean. Grand Manan is a place to replenish your soul. We loved every minute of our vacation!!

We had the distinct pleasure of staying three nights in the delightful, cozy cottage suite Seaside. Though small, it is beautifully decorated, extremely well equipped, and was very comfortable for the 2 of us. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate for us to enjoy the 2 sitting areas outside. It was very windy, raining and/or overcast for the duration of our stay. But we had a 180 degree view of the ocean - the docks, bay and beach - from the open concept living room / dining room / kitchen with floor to ceiling windows which allowed us to watch the changing sky, the Grand Manan ferry come and go, and the tides rise and fall. We used the BBQ that was provided - and right next door to our suite was a laundry room - washer/dryer/soap/dryer sheets - that was available for our use without charge. Wifi was also provided. Our hosts Sue and Clyde were extremely prompt in responding to our booking request and a joy to interact with both prior to and during our stay. While we were on the island, they bent over backwards to make sure our visit was the best it could be. They are both very passionate about the beauty of Grand Manan Island. On our arrival, Sue brought us a beautiful tray of goodies to enjoy - staples such as cream, sugar, butter, jam but also local ground coffee,bakery bread, and sweets. She put a vase of fresh garden flowers in every room to brighten the space. The location was perfect not only for getting to/from the ferry but also as a base to explore the island. Visitors should be aware that by the first of October (our visit), many stores, restaurants and all tour operators have closed their businesses for the season. We were grateful that we could prepare our own meals. There is a fairly large grocery store on the island so no need to buy groceries in advance. This was among our best experiences with vacation rentals. We came as strangers and I feel like we left as friends. Seaside also offered exceptionally good value for the nightly rate.

Sitting on the sun porch or open deck at SeaGlass, at high tide, is like looking out from an ocean cruise - all you see is beautiful blue ocean. SeaGlass is the main floor and second floor of a beautifully and sensitively rehabbed old house. (There is a very nice smaller separately-rented smaller unit below.) The owners (who live next door), Clyde and Susan, have stripped the hardwood floors, installed many new windows, decorated with period furnishings and creative decorative touches, and done a beautiful job painting (inside and out). It's a step back in time, but with modern bathrooms on both floors and a very complete kitchen. It is obvious, inside and out, that both Clyde and Susan are artists. They take great pride in what they've done and they should! Upstairs is a single queen-bedded bedroom with closet (and lots of hangers) and a bathroom overlooking the ocean. Downstairs is a living room, kitchen with table and chairs, half-bath, sunny 'sunporch'/family room (with futon), and deck with chairs and table. The kitchen is well-equipped (could use a better sharp knife or two) with everything you need and the bed linens and towels all were just fine. And there's a washer and dryer (greatly appreciated) available beneath the unit. The house is about a quarter mile from the ferry dock in North Cove. It's on the main (as in "only") highway on Grand Manan and, while there is some traffic, it's mighty light by vacation standards and by late afternoon/evening, it all but disappears. If you arrive at high tide and wonder where the ocean went (as in, 'I thought this house overlooked the water'), just wait a few hours because, at high tide, it will seem to be right under your windows (although it isn't literally, because the house sits up on a bit of a bluff). My wife and I enjoyed Clyde and Susan just as much as we enjoyed SeaGlass. They've been everywhere, done everything, adore Grand Manan and have lots of helpful hints. Most of all, they just are great to spend time with. I would only throw in two cautions. If you have difficulty with stairs you should know that the stairway to the second floor is narrow, winding and a bit steep. This was nothing that two fairly chipper 65+-year-olds had any problem with, but it could be a problem for some. Also, this place probably is best for one couple or, maybe, two adult couples (assuming someone wants a futon). If you bring a child or two, I would suggest they not be too young because of the drop-off down to the ocean. Clyde has kept the grasses pretty long along the edge of the bluff to discourage people from getting too near. And, by the way, if it really matters to you, there is WIFI and it is slow. Really a wonderful, soothing place with great owners. Couldn't recommend more highly.

Creek side cottage was amazing! The hosts, Clyde and Susan, were fantastic. Loved the gift basket with all the local treats. Our hosts showed us to the door and gave us a tour of our home away from home. Creek side is located a short distance from the other cottages. It is private and has a retreat area behind it alongside the creek. The priceless moment was when I rolled over in my bed and a deer and two fawns were munching on some bushes three feet from where I was sleeping. There is a hiking guide in the cottage. We hope to return and hike all around the island. Clyde, I just finished your book and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I hope to visit again, and to hear the rest of the story, and hopefully get to see some art!

From the time that I arrived to stay at Seacliff Suites until the time I left I was treated like a member of a very caring family. Traveling solo,(female), with my dog, I launched for absolutely nothing during my stay. Clyde and Sue were so welcoming and accommodating that it was difficult to say good bye. The gift baskets of goodies, and each request; the fire pit and a kitchen clock, Sue and Clyde were happy to assist. I would highly recommend this accommodation choice on the Island of Grand Manan! I stayed in the Creekside cottage which was perfect since I was traveling with my dog, Forrest. I have never slept so well! Thank you for such a delightful stay! I send best wishes always to the both of you.

Just spent our fourth week (in five years) in the Seaside Cottage, which is a delight even in stormy weather. The surrounding windows give the feeling of being connected to nature even while you are tucked away cozily inside. Despite its central location, it is totally private and peaceful; you can watch the tide - and the fishing boats in the harbour - rise and fall at your leisure. The facilities and amenities are perfect, and Sue and Clyde spare nothing in offering the best hospitality you can imagine. It's just like coming home.
