We loved our stay at Rubys place. Had a great deck to sit on after a day at the beach. Only a short walk to the bowlo, beach, SLSC and Main Street. Only thing I would suggest is packing an extra bath mat. We had four adults stay and it got quite wet after showers. Would definitely stay here again.

Quiet retreat (in winter)

The house was just what the 2 of us, & our greyhound, needed. Comfortable and convenient for the, dog-friendly, Hallidays Sports Club (aka The Bowlo.) Easy to walk to the beach, Waves or the Hallidays Point Shops too. May not be as quiet in summer, however.

Perfect little location in Black Head

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 2nd time we have stayed and enjoy it each time. Especially like the morning sun (in Winter) on the rear deck looking out towards the beach - perfect place to chill.Only minor annoyance this time was the gas ran out on our first night and it was very cold! It was resolved the next day but did leave us pretty chilly overnight and in the morning. The gas heater (when working) actually warms the house up pretty quickly.

Nice Place, Friendly Town

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Glad we came here. Nice and quiet in May. Friendly small town feel, but with good amenities, and good sized FoodWorks supermarket with good variety of fresh food and groceries reasonably priced. Great community OpShop. Ruby’s place was comfortable and well equipped, and we enjoyed the balcony, morning sun and comfy chairs. It was larger than we needed. Would have preferred a smaller more affordable stay somewhere, but not much around for a couple. A weekly rate might be good in off season. Beaches, ocean pool and coastal walks ✅✅✅

Reviewer Comments: We love staying at Ruby's place, it is comfortable, always clean and has everything we need for just the two of us as well as when the family come to visit. It is a great location, easy walk to both beaches and the shops. We love sitting on the deck with glimpses of the beach listening to the birds and relaxing.
