About this property

The Cape - Cozy Year Round Beachfront Retreat - Staycation - Vacation

Looking for a staycation or vacation right on a private beach? The Cape is located on Shad Bay just 25 minutes from downtown Halifax, 15 minutes away from Peggy’s Cove and 5 minutes away from the quaint Prospect Village. It has spectacular views from it's two tiered back deck and 50 foot wharf and the backyard opens up onto your own private beach, where you can enjoy the water, sand, beach toys, 2 kayaks and paddle board. With huge windows all along the back of the house, the kitchen, dining and main living space, have breathtaking views. If the beach and outdoor fun doesn’t keep you busy our collection of games, books and online tv/movie options will keep you well entertained. The Cape is perfect for your getaway all year round.

The space:
We bought this cottage in 2008 as a gathering place for our family. We have always dreamed of owning a cottage right on the ocean and we are excited to share it with you. It is a place of gathering, connecting and sharing, where friends and family can come together to refuel, step away from the demands of everyday life, and build lasting memories together.

The open concept kitchen, living and dining room invite conversation and cozy relaxation by the wood fireplace. Enjoy dinners around the diner table, with plenty more room for dining and conversation around the large kitchen island or curl up in the family room with a good book from our library, or play a game together from our game selection.

The cottage can comfortably sleep 8 guests (7 adults and 1 child maximum). There are three bedrooms and one common sleeping area. The primary bedroom has a queen sized bed and an en-suite bathroom that includes a full bath, washer and dryer. The second bedroom has a queen bed and is next to a full 3 piece bathroom. The third bedroom has a double bed. The common room has a double/single bunk bed. All bedrooms offer quiet comfort, cozy duvets, and pillows inviting you to settle in and get comfortable. There are extra towels and basic amenities available.

Take advantage of this opportunity to unwind and enjoy the charm of our community, Prospect Village, Peggy’s Cove and all the area has to offer. We look forward to sharing our cottage with you for a family vacation, a friend’s weekend away, or quiet couples escape.
