Lovely and spacious bungalow cottage in the heart of Herring Cove. Very clean cottage and well equipped with amenities. Quiet neighbourhood, easy walk to local pier and close to restaurants, take-out and shops. About 25 min into Halifax by car along coastal drive.

Simply beautiful place to stay - enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the tide and boats go by. We even caught mackerel fishing off the dock! Peaceful and relaxing. Can walk to the provincial park/ocean, yet close enough to downtown Halifax to drive and enjoy. House was clean and well supplied. We are frequent VRBO users and this is in our top 10. Would highly recommend!

One of the best VRBOs we have ever stayed in. Communication with the host was excellent. The house was in a wonderful location a short drive from Halifax, with a huge deck looking over the inlet in Herring Cove. The view was lovely and the deck had a great seating sectional and an outdoor dining table and chairs. Inside the space was roomy, comfortable and had a wonderful feel with interesting art and great light. Well appointed kitchen with everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. We had a great stay, would highly recommend it and will look forward to returning in future! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful property.

Fantastic location and place to stay. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed for our stay in Nova Scotia. It was cozy and comfortable and Elias reached out a few times to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. We stayed for a week in November and would imagine it's only better in the summer when you can enjoy the deck.

Clean, simple and issue free. If all you want is a reasonably priced place to sleep, eat and relax in the evening, while accessing the Halifax area, this will meet those needs.

Great place with a fun view of the houses across the water. The place is fabulous, nicely renovated and decorated with a great deck. The bathroom needed to be cleaned but looking at the rest of the place I’m sure this was an oversight. We would definitely stay here again.
