This property was clean, well stocked with items we would need, had a fabulous view the water. The host was very friendly and quick to respond. We had an amazing stay and would highly recommend this property if you are looking for some relaxation yet still driveable to tourist spots (1 hour +/-).

The cottage was very clean, comfortable and well stocked. This was a great place to stay while exploring central NS. If you plan to grill, be sure to bring charcoal. The view and the cool ocean breeze made for a relaxing time while sipping on a glass of wine or morning coffee from the deck. We would definitely stay here again.

We can't say enough about this place. Like others have said, the pictures don't do it justice. The views are spectacular from the house on the hill. Seals visited us most days and the wildlife was spectacular to watch. From the upstairs window (and the dock), you can see Peggy's Cove (gorgeous drive) light house way in the distance to the left. We walked to the beach most days and the area was very quiet. Hubbards, Chester, Mahones Bay and Lunenburg were easy day drives. Tuna Blue for lunch or dinner is a must. We went 4 times in a week. Nicest owner and great food. Be sure to stop at a grocery on your way in to have some supplies for the first couple of days (the kitchen is well stocked with everything you will need to cook), then the Independent grocery and liquor/wine store is an easy drive to Chester. Be sure to park and walk out to the peninsula. Kiwi's for breakfast was delightful. It rained 2 days so we enjoyed a ride across the island to Wolfville for lunch at the gorgeous Lightfoot & Wolfville vineyard. The woodfire pizza and Caesar salad were worth the drive!! Oh, if you go to Lunenburg eat at the Half Shell - best raw tuna and chowder and we picked up cooked lobsters at Dory Mates to take back to the house for dinner - yummy! Mahone Bay has great shopping! Halifax was a big success, too. We had a delicious lunch a the Bicycle Thief. Funny how we kept missing a lobster roll and had the BEST one in the airport of all places. We adored our trip!!!

This was an excellent place to stay to discover much of NS. Day trips are very doable to Halifax, Lunenburg, Peggy's Cove, Mahone Bay, and, although a little further, wine country in Wolfville. Chester and Hubbards are a little closer and offer a number of excellent shops and restaurants. Returning to number 7 is like coming home to relaxing luxury with an outstanding view. The house is very modern and well equipped for towels, sheets as well as kitchen appliances and utensils. Finally, there are many unnecessary but great touches such as funky martini jug and glasses, champagne flutes and even a Brita water jug in the fridge. We would highly recommend this house.

Beautiful!

The cottage was beautiful! Very clean and stocked with extras (spices, tea…) The owners were very easy to reach and answered any questions we had. It was a little out of the way for some activities, but worth it. Can see the ocean from almost every room and the ocean breeze in the afternoon/evening was very relaxing.The kids liked having the loft area with their own bathroom. We would definitely stay here again should we return to Nova Scotia.

Wonderful Home and View!

The home looked exactly as the pictures showed. It was spotless, roomy and had a beachy vibe to it. It had everything we required for our stay and the hosts were responsive and very helpful! The view was spectacular - we enjoyed our morning coffees watching dolphins and a seal from the dock. A buck and doe visited the property a few times. I would highly recommend staying here. We toured to surrounding towns during the day and returned to the comfort of the house each evening. We would 100% stay here again. It’s a beautiful home and even better view!

Oceanside getaway

Cottage was exactly like i thought it would be but even closer to the ocean than i expected. Super clean, super fresh and tastefully done. Only way to improve that i saw was maybe some screens in the master bedroom to hear the waves at night and maybe spin the couch and chaise to view the ocean. Everything else was absolutely perfect. We will be back!

Lovely Cottage on Aspotagan Peninsula in Nova Scotia

This two bedroom cottage with 3 bathrooms was perfect for 4 adults on a week long vacation in Nova Scotia. The property is very new and well furnished with everything you need to be comfortable and to relax. It's location was central for travelling whether going east to Halifax, Peggy's Cove, travelling west to Chester,Mahone Bay,and Lunenburg, or heading north to wolfville and the Bay of Fundy. Also, it is approximately 1 hour easy drive to airport. The location is peaceful and quiet if that is your goal. It is a 15 minute walk or 3 minute drive to Bayswater beach which is lovely. The property owners are very nice people. They were very responsive to my questions both before and during my stay. I would return in a heart beat.
