This was beyond our expectations for a seaside escape. The little protected cove gave us never ending changing views. Some warm sunny days even allowed a quick swim. Loved hearing the waves crash at high tide, the wind and gulls. Nick had a well appointed welcome basket then fed us until we googled the local grocery stores. There were even chilled glasses in the freezer! We regretted only having to leave and go back home…..

NOVA SCOTIA SPLENDOUR

What a beautiful place to unwind and relax with our family. We love the outdoors, and spent most of it outside. The beach, deer, and other local wildlife was amazing. Close to amenities if you need them. We would definitely recommend picking up some lobster from ryers lobsters and cooking them at the cottage. Yummy yum.

What a wonderful stay

What an absolutely wonderful place. Beautiful views of the bay, sunsets, boats and local wildlife. Centrally located to all the must see places yet private and quiet for lots of relaxing on the front deck. Everything you need and more in this well appointed and supplied cottage on the ocean. Nick was an awesome host and made sure that everything was perfect for our arrival. We will absolutely be back. You will not be disappointed with this place!

Amazing Return Trip

Thank you so much Nick! We had another amazing week at your beautiful spot. Arriving to a spotless cottage, with a welcome basket, and a view that can’t be matched, was the start to a wonderful week. We can’t wait to return again next summer.

Great south shore location

Comfortable stay in a great location very convenient for trips to Halifax, Peggy’s Cove and Lunenburg. Friendly and readily available host. Really loved Shaw’s Landing restaurant nearby, as well as treats from White Sail. Was lucky to be there during the annual Peggy’s Cove Festival of the Arts. Note the small beach is not private and on nice days will be visited by others.

Perfect Getaway!

This was our second visit to this lovely cottage, first was 6 years ago. A perfect location, with great proximity to Peggy's Cove, Halifax, and of course, Ryer's Lobster! Wonderful restaurants also in the vicinity. Open, airy, fully equipped, and steps to the beach. Wonderful neighbours. Thanks again, Nick!

Superbes vacances

Nous avons passé une semaine merveilleuse au chalet de Nick ! L'emplacement est idéal! Ni trop près ni trop loin de la ville, beaucoup de commodité ... et que dire de la plage privée ! MAGNIFIQUE !!! Le son des vagues tout au long de la journée, la quiétude ... tout y était pour passer un bon moment. C'était propre et très joli. Nick nous a laissé un super beau panier de bienvenue, nous nous sommes régalés !
