About this property

Stunning views! South Shore 4BR cottage - Walk to Hirtle's Beach

This 4 bedroom, 2 bath cottage is located on the South Shore in desirable Upper Kingsburg. Just under 1.5 hours from the Halifax airport, the cottage is also a short drive from Lunenburg and Mahone Bay and offers sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and Romkey pond. Well-equipped, yet simple, the home has 4 bedrooms on the second floor (2 queens, 1 double, 1 full). One of the rooms is smaller than the others and is best suited for children or single travelers. Please note that the stairs are steep and one of the queen mattresses is quite firm. There is a full bathroom on the second floor and a 1/2 bath on the first. Walk or drive to Hirtle's beach and the spectacular Gaff Point Trail and rinse off in the outdoor shower after a day out exploring. Whale watching, fishing, golf and great restaurants are all just a short drive away. The cottage has two sitting areas on the first floor and a separate den. There are two smart TVs on the main floor for steaming Netflix or your favorite apps, one in the living room and one in the den and wifi throughout. There is nothing fancy about the cottage, but we hope you feel as comfortable and at home here as we do. It's a special setting from which to explore Nova Scotia, or just spend the days relaxing with the views at home or on the beach.

Occupancy is capped at 6 people, however we also own a small studio cottage with a sleeping loft that is across the lane which may be rented separately, or in conjunction with the main house. If you are traveling with extended family or friends and are interested in renting the studio as well please inquire about rates.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
