The property was beautiful, right on the water with lots of privacy. Beautiful sunrises and a sauna and hot tub to ease those achy bones after lots of touring around. Spotlessly clean with everything you need for your stay. We would definitely recommend.

The house was absolutely perfect for the start of our Nova Scotia family travels. It is beautifully decorated, filled with everything you could possibly need or want, the surrounding vistas were breathtaking, and Katrina was so pleasant, and quick to respond. I would definitely stay here again!

Such a gorgeous property with great amenities and everything at your fingertips. Loved the sauna and hot tub and used the ocean for cold plunging. Beds were so comfortable and we really enjoyed the spacious sitting area with a huge fireplace and amazing view. Host was super friendly and communicative. Will definitely return!

My first time in the area and I will be back! Something about a small rural fishing town just brings so much joy, we visited during off season. We got to enjoy Hector and his pod after breakfast this morning, we did a lot of adventuring and honestly wish we spent more time in the house! It is so cozy and a vacationing dream destination.

The Host is very responsive and welcoming. The home is just as advertised, and we thoroughly enjoyed staying there. Beautiful home and view. The hot tub and sauna were such a treat to use, and the wood fire to create a cozy atmosphere. Very clean home, and very private location.

A beautiful, well maintained home with superb amenities and host communication!We would return in a heartbeat. Our group was amazed with the location and lived being outside near the water. The solarium was great both during sunny days and when raining. We made good use of the sauna and hot tub as well. Everything we needed was there, coffee/coffee maker, well stocked kitchen, wood for the fireplace and fire pit etc. Can't say enough good things about this home and host. Top notch.

We had a wonderful stay at this property! Interactions with the owner Katrina were fantastic. She provided a lot of information on the property ahead of our arrival. Once in the house, we found that we were gifted a bottle of bubbly and quality coffee beans. The property is in a beautiful quiet bay with access to all of the regional highlights. The house was very well kitted out, with the kitchen filled with lots of additional condiments.Definitely a place to return to!

It seems that have thought of everything to make ones stay relaxing. This was my first stay at an air b&b so the standard is set high now! It was the little things that impressed me the most, from spices to big fluffy bathrobes. We were all so impressed with the decor, layout and although we didn’t get a chance to enjoy the outside too much, it was quite evident that a lot of thought was put in to making this place an experience that can be enjoyed by all.

I had the most amazing stay here for my birthday!! truly a 5-star experience from start to finish! The space was absolutely beautiful, even better than the photos and had the perfect vibe for celebrating. Everything was spotless, well-maintained and thoughtfully set up with little details that made it feel extra special.It was the perfect mix of cozy and luxurious. The host was incredible as well—super responsive, friendly and made sure everything went smoothly for my stay.This place made my birthday feel so special, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would 100% book here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, memorable stay!

Very lovely home! The kids were so sad to leave. I highly recommend this place and would go back without hesitation :)There is a little spot to access water where the kids found crabs, shells, etc. They loved it! The seal visited every day, and the kids loved the arcade golf game. The host answered all my questions very quickly. They left us a gift and a note. They even prepare the wood inside the firepit and left us eggs for breakfast. The view from the house is absolutely stunning. The house’s location isn’t far from Halifax to visit. We had a lovely time!

Breathtaking

Relaxing, breathtaking, comfortable, modern, and clean, The pictures don't give this home any justice. Our hosts were accommodating, and hospitable towards us, during our entire trip. We definitely would be staying here again.
