Loved this house! The kitchen was well equipped & there such attention to details throughout the house. It was a good base to explore Nova Scotia. There was a nice choice of restaurants nearby, groceries 10 minutes away. Host responded quickly to any messages.
Spent 5 days enjoying the area, the house couldn't have been more lovely, comfortable and well stocked for all our needs. Fantastic communication with the hosts, would highly recommend staying here!
We all had a fantastic time at this place, it was great to relax, the beach was across the street, will definitely be renting again, the hosts were fantastic to deal with. Thx again Doug and Kelly.
This was the 2nd year our group came here and we’re steady booked for 2026! The house has everything you need, is spacious and clean with comfy beds! The beach is right across the street which is fabulous, we swam every day! The hosts are excellent to communicate with and answer every question quickly.
Kitchen worked very well. All we needed to prepare our meals. The view was spectacular. Appreciated comfortable beds for all eight of us. Lots of space for our activities in the living room. Enjoyed the front deck. Hosts kept good contact. Loved our time at their home.
Cozy, comfortable, spacious house. Very well provisioned. Great location across from St. Margaret's Bay, between Halifax and Lunenburg. It was ideal for our family get-together. Communication with the hosts was clear and timely. Everything was great
Thank you for hosting us! So much room and fully stocked which was really nice. Very comfortable linens and beds! The walk to the beach is close. The neighbors let us use the front lawn because the highway has fast drivers!!
Comfortable, excellent views of bay, and beautifully decorated
Very clean, recently upgraded interior, spacious, first floor, and
two upstairs bedrooms have beautiful views of a sand and stoney beach. Open the windows and hear the waves!
We had an absolutely incredible experience at this property. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had every amenity we could possibly need. Perfect location-we traveled to Halifax, Lunenburg, Peggy's Cove, Blue Rocks and Ovens National Park. We wouldn't change a thing to this house. Thank you for offering your beautiful property.
Can't beat the views and we have stayed at over 20 VRBO's. Beach down the road and although the street can be a bit busy it was still quiet. Great location for getting around including Halifax not being that far away. Good communication and stocked kitchen.
Everyone loved the house. Great decor. Very comfortable. Across the road from beach. Great views! We’ll book again if/when next in area.

About the host
Hosted by Doug and Kelly
We are two Canadians currently living in the US and purchased this home as a summer rental and getaway for ourselves. We are frequent travelers who have rented many properties and love this style of travel. Important features we look for when we travel are comfortable beds, ample and comfortable lounging spaces, a well equipped kitchen (we love to cook,.. and eat of course), an ambiance for relaxation, a convenient location, and cleanliness. Our goal was to make our place exceptional in these areas and we think we have accomplished that. We are very familiar with the Halifax area and are happy to answer any questions or make any suggestions that may make your visit better. We welcome you to our home.
Why they chose this property
This area has a great significance to us as Atlantic Canadians. We both spent some of our university years here and we hope to retire in the area. The surrounding community and oceanfront living has a vibe that goes perfect with relaxation and a glass of wine. The city of Halifax is close by as are many small towns with a great taste of Nova Scotia character. We feel this area is a great representation of what Nova Scotia really is and are happy to share it with those who want to experience the Atlantic Canada culture. We are very proud of this slice of Canada and hope you enjoy it to its fullest.
What makes this property unique
We loved the ocean views, the large living room, and the views from the bedroom windows. The ocean waves are heard throughout the house. Mornings here are a freshness and a tranquility that's hard to explain unless you experience it.
