Quaint little cottage with beautiful views of the bay. Nice location close to many scenic attractions. A perfect spot to stay while taking day trips. The hosts were fabulous as well. We loved all the nearby seafood restaurants and evenings on the deck. Thank you!

We loved the close proximity to Tuna Blue restaurant and the Shore Club. The location overlooking the bay was just what we needed to unwind and still be able to visit Mahone Bay, Halifax etc. We feel the space is perfect for 2 but doable for 4. My husband’s comments: needs a towers rack in the bathroom, light above kitchen sink, 2 suitcase racks and more small bowls for cereal/ yogurt. The local people were very friendly at the grocery and hardware stores. The pool was closed, as it was October, but would have been an added bonus. Loved our stay!’

The property is very nice, well maintained with a lovely view. This particular cottage provides a veranda with sunshine late into the evening.It is a reasonable walk to the beach and the pool is just a few steps away.Our bedroom was very comfortable and we slept well. While advertised to sleep five, although possible, in my opinion it would be a tight squeeze.Our host was very responsive, for example, when we requested a coffee maker in place of the Keurig, it was provided soon after.A great location for touring the South Shore of Nova Scotia.

Very clean and comes with everything you need. We were able to do short day trips to many tourist destinations because of the central location! Will be back for sure!

Quintessential Seaside Retreat

Great property in a perfect getaway location, we enjoyed the sun filled patio, spent some time on the waterside dock, and fully utilized the complete kitchen. Even during the rainy day(s), we loved the beach cottage theme inside with a good book. Saturday night was a hit, a quick walk to the famous 'Shore Club' dance hall, we had a fantastic time and will be back!

Quaint but smelly

We enjoyed our stay however there was a musty smell was noticeable as soon as we walked into the rental. We ended up buying a scent plug in to try to help with the smell. The other issue was bedding. The rental said it slept 5 people but there wasn’t enough blankets or sheets for our party of 4.
