Great family getaway
Perfect house for a family getaway, we were 8 people, and lots of space for everyone. The house had everything we needed and the host was very responsive.

Family weekend
We enjoyed staying in this lovely home. There seemed to be a misunderstanding when I tried to reach the owner by phone but once we got to messaging, all went very well. Loved the market on Saturday and on Sunday. It was right across the street from our house, so very handy. There’s a lovely trail right behind the market (across the street) and the pebbly beach across the street was peaceful and provided lovely stones and sea glass. The adults enjoyed the spiffy Keurig machine with built in milk frother. The house is very comfortable. Loved the two chaise longue, especially the one in the sun room. More seating in living room would be nice. We would happily return.

Grandma's 70th
This property sits on a quiet seaside road in Belliveaus Cove. It was everything we anticipated and provided a wonderful opportunity for family to be together and enjoy the coastline of St. Mary's Bay, visit Digby, Annapolis Royal, beaches, go Whale Watching, clamming, several great places to eat a wide variety of seafood dishes, watch the tides come in and out. Wonderful home environment enjoyed by all.

Mom’s 80th Birthday
Mine and my brother’s family gathered at The Cove House with my mother to celebrate her 80th birthday. There were 10 of us, ranging in age from 19 to 80. There was lots of space and cozy places for everyone. The house is decorated beautifully and is extremely well equipped. We made a turkey dinner for everyone on our second night there. I hope to stay there again.

Wonderful experience
We had a great experience for our family vacation of 3 families. Beautiful home and location. Owner was quick to respond to any requests and enjoyed the walking trails and proximity to many tourist attractions. I would recommend this location for any family.

About the host

Hosted by Madison Cross

Host profile image
This veteran owned and operated property was renovated by our family in 2022. After spending every summer down here since 2000, our family decided on to lay permanent roots here. We know you’ll love it here just as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

This home was built in 1910 for the local general store owner. There is an original servants quarters at the back of the home featuring a unique hidden staircase. Our family did their very best to preserve the history of this home, while making this a relaxing oceanside retreat for families to enjoy.
