We have stayed here two years in a row and both times have been amazing. This home will not disappoint! It is well stocked and extremely clean. The homeowner is very easy to contact and strives to make sure that your stay is nothing less than perfect. The best part of your stay will be the location. The view each morning from the multi-tier deck is stellar - complete with a harbour seal that will make an appearance in the water in front of the cottage. The fishing and kayaking is relaxing and fun. If you are looking for a Nova Scotia home away from home, this is it!

This property is a gem! The location is well equipped with appliances and amenities ( kayaks, hot tub, comfortable outdoor furniture & gazebo). The view from the 2nd floor deck is amazing, watching the bay tide come and go throughout the day. It is a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy the laid back Nova Scotia lifestyle!

10/10This place is a gem. The owners make it feel like a true vacation spot with every little detail taken care of, things that you might not even know you need. Ample space in and out for relaxing, the massive hot tub was a win with our ladies weekend retreat. Will definitely book again!
