Location: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Accommodations: Oceanfront Chalet, 2 Bedrooms + Loft, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4)
While this secluded oceanfront chalet in West Pennant is just 25 minutes to the heart of Halifax, it feels like you're a million miles from any city. It's a very secluded old fishing village with lots of incredible outdoor experiences- canoeing, kayaking, hiking, swimming, etc.. The village has only a dozen homes, some of which are occupied only on a seasonal basis.
The newly constructed chalet is 1250 ft2 and has an open concept. It's hard to find a spot in the house without a magnificent view of the ocean- very few man made features in the view. The bow shaped house front is covered with south-facing windows. The downstairs has a small but full bathroom, a bedroom, a living room, dining room and full kitchen with granite counter tops, custom furniture, exotic hardwood floors, copper accents, wood stove and lots more.
The upstairs is completely open with a claw foot tub, double bed, open bathroom, and great empty loft/sun area that's ideal for yoga, napping, reading, drawing, etc..
If you're looking for privacy, peace of mind, and the ocean, this is the place for you. We've never had an unhappy visitor!

A breathtaking place in a wonderful location so close to the Atlantic but still protected by the islands out in the bay. Hot sun or thick fog, every kind of weather gave a different view of nature around the bay. We've had an inspiring stay here, our souls are soothed and we're ready to face the city again!

Tastefully decorated home and a wonderful place. We enjoyed our two week vacation with plenty of sunshine on the decks and in the canoe.

We had a fantastic time during our stay in West Pennant. The chalet is beautifully built and decorated with great style. It was a pleasure each morning to sit out on the deck enjoying our morning cup of tea and watching the loons(cormorants?) in the cove. The chalet is perfectly located for touring all the lovely areas nearby including Halifax.... We particularly enjoyed walking along the shore of Crystal (Crescent) Beach and listening to the sound of the surf.... Thanks so much for your hospitality.

What a beautiful place to take our first official family vacation. The chalet is beautiful and felt like home. The views- breathtaking- made us happy to open our eyes every morning. Thanks for everything.
