About this property
Private Island, Ocean Front, Aspotogan Peninsula, South Shore Nova Scotia
Immerse yourself in the tranquillity of your private four-bedroom house perched by the ocean's edge. As the eastern-facing side of the house greets the ocean, you'll witness breathtaking sunrises accompanying your morning coffee or refreshing mojito on the deck.
From the deck, gaze across the sprawling lawn, where the magnificent St. Margarets Bay unfolds before your eyes. On the horizon, the picturesque Shut-in Island and Hacketts Cove create a mesmerizing backdrop.
With just eight properties on the island, solitude, seclusion, and privacy are yours to embrace, ensuring an uninterrupted escape from the world.
Please note that if you plan to extend your stay beyond 27 days, kindly inquire about the specific regulations in my province, as regulations change after 28 days.
To maintain a harmonious environment, I request that all guests respect my policy regarding unregistered visitors.
When booking, the guest numbers must include every person in your group. To clarify, a baby is a person, a toddler is a person, and a child is a person. If the person is over two years of age, I charge an extra guest fee of $47 per/night.
Bringing unregistered guests, even for the day, can lead to unnecessary complications, an unpleasant experience, additional fees, or, in all likelihood, immediate booking cancellation without a refund. As I reside across the road, attempts to circumvent this policy are futile—honesty is always appreciated.
For everyone's peace of mind, I conduct a comprehensive video recording of the entire property, inside and out, before your check-in. This time-stamped footage safeguards both guests and the owner in the unlikely event of any damages.
Lastly, please be aware that the government mandates that you include the HST tax in your stay. We apologize for any inconvenience this requirement causes.

AMAZING ocean view with incredible sunrises and so much entertainment watching the seals every day! The house was extremely comfortable and had a homey feeling, for our group of 4 adults!
We absolutely loved our stay at the red roof. It was immaculate and the view was breathtaking. Phil was very kind and helpful. Would highly recommend this home to anyone
Superb position and very comfortable house. Lovely to just watch the changing sky and sea colours and the crystal clear night sky. Phil is a great host as well.
A perfect place to dump all of the noise and anxiety in your head and replace it with the sound of surf, the smell of salt in the air and a night sky filled with stars…haven’t seen the Milky Way that clearly in decades.
We had a much needed relaxing and peaceful stay. Views from the house were awesome, especially the sunrises. Great remote location. Communication with the owners was enjoyable,
We loved the view, everything we needed was available and more.
All our requests and concerns were answered immediately.
All 🛌 were clean and comfortable.
Beautiful location, inside is bright and modern, beds are comfy, has A/C but breeze off ocean was more than enough to keep cool at night, being able to lay in bed and listen to the ocean is a nice change. There was lots of birds out in the water and both nights there was a seal no too far from shore.
Beautiful secluded spot on the cove, amazing sunrises, great walking trails along the bay. Had a nice relaxing stay, and will hopefully be able to visit again.
This hidden gem was exactly what we needed to wind down from our long Nova Scotia vacation. The rest and relaxation at The Red Roof was just perfect. We were able to meditate on the rocks, fall asleep to the crashing of the ocean waves, and live inside the silence of nature. What a beautiful way to unwind. Phil was a wonderful host welcoming us into his slice of heaven. Sleep with the windows open, watch the seals from the porch and dream. What a gift. I'd recommend it for folks wanting to really truly unwind.
The house and location are just incredible! The communication with the owners was great and we so enjoyed the property and location! Would highly recommend!
Phil made us feel right at home in his oasis of a place on St. Margaret’s Bay. The beds & pillows and location of rooms overlooking the ocean with peaceful wave sounds at night provided the best sleep we have had in a long time. The view and sunrise were absolutely stunning & we wished we could have stayed longer. This was the tranquil getaway much needed. Sights, sounds, smells all worth staying here. We saw deer, cormorants diving, & heard lovely birds. It was so spacious and we plan to return with our kids. Thank you, Phil.
We had such a great time here in 2021 on a work retreat that we came back in 2024. The cottage was great and secluded.
The small beach down the road is wonderful and the sunrises are unforgettable!
It doesn't get any closer to the eater than this! We loved spending time outside enjoying the view. It was very private and exactly what we hoped it would be.

About the host
Hosted by Phil
Born and raised in New Zealand. I joined the NZ navy. This ended up being the catalyst to my eventual move to Canada after meeting a local girl when I was 19. Many years on and a few careers later, we are now married, with 2 young kids. We like to relax and enjoy the ocean and island life. We are High-Performance Life Coaches, we love coffee, and live a healthy lifestyle.
Why they chose this property
When you get here, you will understand why we wanted to purchase this property. It's on an island; there are only 8 properties on the island connected by a bridge. It's peaceful. The ocean storms are spectacular, but on the flip side, the ocean is also so calm. It's raw. The perfect place to escape, but not so far away that you are totally disconnected.
What makes this property unique
Beautifully quiet. It's a hideaway only the locals know about. Great spots to walk. easy to hideaway, isolate, and lose yourself to the ocean and the trees.
