This house is extremely comfortable and well appointed. Warm and inviting, even in the middle of a cold winter stay over the holidays. Nick is a great host. We had everything we needed for great meals and a lovely stay. The location is beautiful and sitting on the deck in the summer would be delightful. We'll be back.

Great south shore location

Comfortable stay in a great location very convenient for trips to Halifax, Peggy’s Cove and Lunenburg. Friendly and readily available host. Really loved Shaw’s Landing restaurant nearby, as well as treats from White Sail. Was lucky to be there during the annual Peggy’s Cove Festival of the Arts. Note the small beach is not private and on nice days will be visited by others.

Thank you so much Nick! We had another amazing week at your beautiful spot. Arriving to a spotless cottage, with a welcome basket, and a view that can’t be matched, was the start to a wonderful week. We can’t wait to return again next summer.

This was beyond our expectations for a seaside escape. The little protected cove gave us never ending changing views. Some warm sunny days even allowed a quick swim. Loved hearing the waves crash at high tide, the wind and gulls. Nick had a well appointed welcome basket then fed us until we googled the local grocery stores. There were even chilled glasses in the freezer! We regretted only having to leave and go back home…..

What a wonderful stay

What an absolutely wonderful place. Beautiful views of the bay, sunsets, boats and local wildlife. Centrally located to all the must see places yet private and quiet for lots of relaxing on the front deck. Everything you need and more in this well appointed and supplied cottage on the ocean. Nick was an awesome host and made sure that everything was perfect for our arrival. We will absolutely be back. You will not be disappointed with this place!

NOVA SCOTIA SPLENDOUR

What a beautiful place to unwind and relax with our family. We love the outdoors, and spent most of it outside. The beach, deer, and other local wildlife was amazing. Close to amenities if you need them. We would definitely recommend picking up some lobster from ryers lobsters and cooking them at the cottage. Yummy yum.

A peaceful, beautiful setting

We loved the everchanging view and colourful sunsets through the front windows. Deer, ducks and geese visited. The cottage was well stocked and comfortable. As soon as we arrived, Nick was on the phone asking if we needed anything. His welcome basket was most thoughtful. It was easy to drive to the grocery store in one direction and to Peggy's Cove in the other. It was the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday and access to my art workshops.

Canadian Getaway

Everything was very clean. All we would need while there was available. The view was amazing. Seeing the deer family almost every day was pretty special. Not too far to many lovely attractions, and when back at the cottage, it .was to a world of relaxation. We had our bedroom windows open at night and the breeze was perfect for sleeping. The cottage size was perfect for us, but could have a family as there were 3 bedrooms and would be very comfortable. I would love to return for another visit. It was nice to get to meet Nick.
