  There is plenty to do for all interests - charming villages to explore, sandy beach, rocky coves, a large attractive house with beautiful water views and plenty of space for everyone to find a quiet corner to read or play games - truly a great spot to relax and recharge.

  We went to Beach Haven for our anniversary with some friends. There was plenty of room, with two seperate living spaces. The kids stayed downstairs and played pool, the adults enjoyed the beautiful sunroom, while watching the georgeous sunset. We strolled along both the rocky beach and then the sandy beach, where we saw probably 30 seals! There is everything you need for a wonderful weekend. Our only complaint was that we could not stay longer, and that we did'nt bring more people. Can't wait to go back!

  Words can not describe how beautiful it is here. We arrived with three generations of family, four kayaks, and great joy at the chance to all be together for a week Beach Haven is better than it shows online. Spacious rooms, an enclosed back porch with AMAZING views of the ocean, and the pool table downstairs provided entertainment when we did get one afternoon of showers. The house is spacious enough to put children to bed early and still have plenty of room for adults to stay up and not disturb the kids. They thought of everything--ample good quality cookwear in the full kitchen, as well as a grill outside. Ragged Harbor is perfect for kayaking--protected from the ocean waves, our seven year olds loved it as much as the adults. The trail leading down to the harbor with the rocks to explore is well maintained, and the short walk up the dirt road to Crescent Beach is easy. Crescent Beach is breathtaking and the sand is fine, wonderful for swimming and building sandcastles. Some of our party did a day trip to Halifax, which they loved and Peggy's Cove wasn't that far either--worth the ride. Dinner at Lane's in Liverpool was great one evening--homemade food, organic, very talented Chef. We hope to return to Beach Haven one day!

  Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

  We spent 7 days from June 21 to 28. The place is nice, clean. All the element that would make your stay comfortable for a modern living were present, however, it is more like a simple home rather than luxury resort. The only draw back is water. You cannot do multiple functions with water at the same time. One has to choose between flushing the toilet or having showers or doing laundry. Overusage will cause the water pump to shut down, and fortunately the housekeeper will show up within 20 minutes to reset the water pump. We got into the problem a few times, but taking into consideration that we were 14 people, old and young, it was not a surprising occurance. Location location location. I felt that we found a great place judging from the geographic area. We were 15 minutes away from Liverpool, which is a relatively large town ( from Nova Scotia standards). Driving up and down the southeastern shore of Nova Scotia from there was a perfect location. This place is truly a perfect all purpose vacation base. By the way, for those that cannot relinquish city and internet....there is Wifi access, there is satelite TV, pool table, fully modern kitchen. Being able to drink a hot cup of tea coming from a modern kitchen while watching wild rabbits running, or 5 minutes walk to a beautiful sand beach, that is the best of the two worlds. I will defintely recommend it. And I would thank the owner of this property for providing an excellen vacation house.

  Owner response: Thank you to this guest for the recommendation and we are so glad that you and your family enjoyed your stay at Beach Haven. We do look forward to sharing this lovely spot with many more happy guests. As stated by this, and many other guests, this truly is the best of both worlds, surrounded by the sea with a lovely beach, but at the same time all of the south shore villages and towns are at your finger tips, if you chose. Part of this fabulous country ambiance is the use of country water and septic systems. We appreciate that this can sometimes be a challenge and do our best to assist our guests by providing written instructions, spare water and our housekeeper to help. In our 5 seasons of sharing this rural paradise with guests, (over 100 rental weeks, and more than 600 happy guests) this is only the fourth time that over-use of water has led the pump temporarily shutting down. The other times were in our first season as we learned how to prepare guests for rural water use. There is ample water at Beach Haven but like all rural areas moderate use at any one point in time is required, the price of sharing in this peaceful paradise.

  "This is IT! It's fabulous, even before I got to the house I could tell that this is what I would call a get away. And the house itself is beautiful----all the wood! And the views of the sea from all those windows. If I just want to check out from the world this is the place for me. Unfortunately, no website can begin to capture how amazing this place really is."
