seaside convenience

Beautiful views of St. Margaret's Bay, with private outdoor terrace, in a quiet, wooded neighborhood. The apartment was well-furnished and equipped for two people, convenient to nearby stores, coffee shops and seaside attractions. Helpful live-in hosts and clear directions made the stay easy.

Head of St Margarets bay vacation

The property is beautiful and in an amazing location! Relaxing in the hot tub overlooking the ocean after a long day on the go was perfect. The house is very nicely done and very clean. The property owners were very nice and helpful. I highly recommend this property and would not hesitate to stay there again on a future trip.

Chris has a beautiful place just outside of Tantallon! Both the sofa bed and bedroom could use new mattress as well as blinds for the living room windows but other than that our stay was fantastic. The view of the bay was spectacular, it was nice to soak in the hot tub each night.

well located for south shore stay

This rental provides a private, well located place for a short term visit. Access to the unit is by stairs to the back of the main house located on a hill with a lovely water view. The kitchen facilities are somewhat limited but adequate, especially for those out sightseeing most of the time. Aside from noise from those living upstairs over the unit, it is a very comfortable place to stay.

We really enjoyed our week, so peaceful and relaxing. View is amazing and especially liked the covered seating area on the deck, great for sitting out anytime of the day. Unit is very bright, clean and had everything we needed. Hosts are very friendly and accommodating, responding very quickly to any questions we had. Hoping to have a return stay!

We travelled to the area to visit nearby family and friends for about 10 days. It was our first time staying in a VRBO home and we were beyond delighted to find ourselves in such a gorgeous spot. Our hosts were so welcoming and kind; we felt right at home. The suite is spacious, clean and quite private, overlooking a calm waterway that’s part of St. Margaret’s Bay. It’s a really special location with the best kind of hosts.It was easy to relax and enjoy sun on the deck or a little paddle in the kayak. Fun for birdwatching, too. The kitchenette was perfect for us - we made simple meals and made use of the barbecue a few times. (There’s also a good takeout place a couple of minute’s drive) The bed was very comfortable and we found it to be quiet at night. Thanks to their warm hospitality, we’ll treasure the memories of our stay at the Blue Heron Hideaway.

Outstanding, great view and accommodations

We had a great stay at Chris and Stephanie’s VRBO on the water. The one bedroom suite had everything that we were looking for. It was clean, modern and private. It’s proximity to local towns, amenities, recreation and to Peggie’s Cove were great. Thanks Chris and Stephanie! We look forward to our next stay with you and the local blue heron!
