Great Father/Daughter get-a-way property.

This charming cottage was just right. We had trouble flying into Halifax Int'l (2 days) and the owner couldn't be more understanding. It was located near several hiking trails (we did) & close to Peggy's Cove Lighthouse. We got many pics here. I really enjoy watching the sunrise over my vacations & Prospect Bay did not disappoint. I took many pics of the sunrise too. The owner had several recommendations for the hiking trails & very good local (not to touristy) restaurants. We averaged 5mi/8km per day hiking. I would recommend "Gateway Prospect Cottage" for a return trip.

Prospect Bay Vacay

A great place to relax. Cute cottage with all the required features. A beautiful dock. Access to Halifax and Peggy's Cove in a short drive. The owner reached out to see if everything was ok and to check we had everything we needed.
