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!

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.

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.

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.

Sweetest cottage in a beautiful location

Spotless, roomy cottage with a gorgeous view and very thoughtful details including books, games, pantry essentials, and lovely welcome basket. Easy to get to Peggy’s Cove, Halifax, and other attractions. Owner very responsive and easy to communicate with. One of our best NS trips! Thanks very much, Nick.

Canadian Getaway

Everything was very clean. All we would need while there was available. The view was amazing. Seeing the deer family almost every day was pretty special. Not too far to many lovely attractions, and when back at the cottage, it .was to a world of relaxation. We had our bedroom windows open at night and the breeze was perfect for sleeping. The cottage size was perfect for us, but could have a family as there were 3 bedrooms and would be very comfortable. I would love to return for another visit. It was nice to get to meet Nick.

A peaceful, beautiful setting

We loved the everchanging view and colourful sunsets through the front windows. Deer, ducks and geese visited. The cottage was well stocked and comfortable. As soon as we arrived, Nick was on the phone asking if we needed anything. His welcome basket was most thoughtful. It was easy to drive to the grocery store in one direction and to Peggy's Cove in the other. It was the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday and access to my art workshops.

wow!!!

Just as advertised! Wow what a great location. Very clean, very well equipped pots pans dishes linens, I love to cook and found everything I needed for our 19 day stay. Paper products cleaning products, But really what impressed was the wildlife. A seagull who had 3 crabs for breakfast on the beach directly in front of us, two pair of Canada geese with a combined 10 chicks, a pair of ducks with 5 ducklings and a beautiful pair of bald eagles. every day great blue herons fishing for our enjoyment, a sea otter, cormorants fishing all just amazing, And finally Nick our host was great we had a small glitch with wi-fi and he immediately got us a call from the provider, Done. Very responsive. n

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 !

Lovely cottage in amazing location ❤️

My husband and I stayed for a week along with my parents and two young children. The views from the whole front of the cottage were amazing, you are literally steps from the water. My son (a huge nature enthusiast) was over the moon about the crabs and starfish he found. The cottage was immaculate and we arrived to a welcome basket of yummy foods, much appreciated after driving for 11 hrs! The location was excellent and allowed us easy access to Halifax, Peggy’s Cove, Lunenberg and others along the south shore. A perfect family getaway ❤️

Why they chose this property

My family has enjoyed this property since the 1960's. It is located on pristine & unspoiled St Margarets Bay which provides a fabulous venue for water sports of all types. Beautiful western exposure and sunsets are the hall mark of this property. My family uses this cottage for family gatherings and enjoys the quaint character of this former fishing and farming community.
