Fantastic

This property was incredible! It checked off all of our boxes, and even the boxes we didn't anticipate. I would definitely recommend this property to others, and I would stay there again next time I'm in the area.

Excellent location!

The cottage was located on a quiet road, clean and cozy and had all the amenities. Communication with Sally was excellent, always prompt and friendly. A nice quiet location and close to all the beauties of the South Shore.

Fantastic owners, fantastic location!

Sally and Didier provided us with a lovely cottage in a beautiful, quiet location. Our family enjoyed a week of vacation fun in the Mahone Bay/Lunenburg area, and we never worried about a thing...Sally kept us well informed about what activities were happening in the area, but only after checking first to see if those updates were wanted! :) The cottage was fully equipped with everything we needed, we were quite happy to have some fans, as it was very hot during the day(s). We were about 10 minutes from the beautiful town of Mahone Bay, and about 20 minutes from the UNESCO town of Lunenburg. They were both amazing towns to visit, so picturesque and full of character. We checked out the local beaches of Queensland and Rissers, about 30 to 40 minutes away. We were able to get in the water, but the oceans were still on the cool side for us!! All in all, it was a fantastic trip, and we loved every bit of it! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend either the cottage, the owners, or the Province of Nova Scotia as a fabulous vacation spot.

FABULOUS LOCATION, HOSTS, AND PROPERTY

I loved staying at this cottage. It was fully equipped . Not only was there a large assortment of cooking items, but spices, oils, paper towels,toilet paper, and even a multitude of toiletries in the bathroom. The house was spotless, great linens, and everything one could want. I stayed for a month and the owners could not have been more kind and thoughtful. I did everything from kayaking to concerts every night. So much to do in the area. Something for everyone.

About the host

Hosted by Sally

In 2006 we were finally able to move permanently to Nova Scotia after years of visiting. We love it here and love to share the beauty of our province with visitors. We take great pleasure in maintaining a clean, comfy, convenient cottage - the kind of place we ourselves would be delighted to find on our travels. A retired Museum Educator, I am also an artist. This place and its people are a tremendous source of comfort and inspiration for me.

Why they chose this property

Second Wind is on the ocean, with beautiful views. It is quiet and private with a pleasant outdoor area that borders on a little brook that feeds into the ocean. The neighbourhood is mainly full- time residents and they welcome our visitors warmly. Just 500 meters along the road there is a community boules court (there is a boules set at the cottage). You can easily launch a kayak and paddle along the coast and up Martin's River. There are countless nearby attractions, towns, beaches, hiking/biking trails and coastal drives - it is a wonderful spot to stay awhile!
