About the host
Hosted by Andrew Morrisey
Just like you I love to travel a few times a year and book almost all of our vacation stays using sites like VRBO. We love the summertime in Nova Scotia and our family are avid sailors. I have also competed internationally with sailboat races from Boston to Halifax, New Port RI to Bermuda and from Halifax to the French island of Saint Pierre and Miquelon. We have also spent several summers racing the waters in front of our new Cape Cod as part of the annual Chester Race week.
Why they chose this property
My wife and I have been acquiring income properties over the past decade and discovered that we both love doing renovations, designs and decorating. In fact we designed and built our own home in 2015 in the Halifax area and got the itch in 2017 for more design and construction work which led us to purchasing this Cape Cod in Blandford.
We have fully renovated the main floors putting in Birch hardwood, ceramic tiles, 3 completely new bathrooms, all new doors, a few new windows, new shingles and took out a couple of walls to open up the place. The furniture is a combination of new contemporary pieces with some antiques from our family.
We are also avid followers of the infamous Oak Island Treasure Hunt and coincidently the day we were in Chester purchasing the double vanity for the main floor bathroom we saw Dave Blankenship in the store picking up supplies.
What makes this property unique
Nova Scotia is beautiful any time of the year but the summers and fall are even more special because you can enjoy the ocean. There are several white sandy beaches nearby where you can play in the waves or body surf. Kayaking, sailing, fishing and power boating are also available.
Our place faces south west so you can watch the terrific sunsets from our beach or balcony.
Two doors over is the local restaurant called The Deck. The kids will love taking a walk over in the afternoon to get an ice cream cone.
Our surrounding neighbours in Blandford are boat builders, sail makers, a jeweler and pottery makers. You can't get any more east coast than that.
