Great location! This home is clean and comfy- Deb is a wonderful host and we settled in with plenty of time to enjoy a gorgeous sunset. The cottage is thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. And it is a perfect location for day trips along the South Shore.

The location was perfect! The cottage was great, and was equipped with things we thought we would have to buy when we got there like tissues etc. There was even a welcoming bottle of wine and chocolates!My only negative was comment would be the TV, should provide more detailed instructions as it was more complicated than what we were used to at home.This was our first VRBO stay and will definitely use this as an option to hotels on any future vacations.

Happy Harbour Home

A beautifully decorated home in picturesque surroundings. We had everything we needed…towels, kitchenware, patio furniture, etc. to make our time in Indian Harbour perfect. The views and the sounds of waves crashing on nearby rocks and the bouy bell in the distance were everything we hoped they would be. The hostess was readily available if we had questions. We highly recommend this home and hostess! Thanks for a great stay, Deb!

The Best!

When you walk into the house, there is a chalkboard sign in the kitchen reading “Welcome Home”. It truly says it all.The house is spacious, well decorated, very comfortable and welcoming. Everything you want when traveling, including a washer/dryer.The location was ideal for visiting Peggy’s Cove, Halifax and the must see historical town of Lunenburg. Oh, and the sunsets “at home”… amazing!! Highly recommend to anyone staying in the area. Many thanks!!

The view and location were stunning. The neighbors were fantastic. The location was perfect as our home base. Restaurants in the area were wonderful. Our host was most attentive and we got to visit her store, Hags on the Hill, at Peggy’s Cove. A +++++++. We can’t wait to come back.

About the host

Hosted by Debora Crooks

I grew up in Indian Harbour, only a stone's throw from this cottage. It is a beautiful place, even in the worst of weather! Being near the ocean brings a sense of peace to my busy world. I hope it does the same for you.

Why they chose this property

The cottage originally belonged to my brother, who was a fisherman. He passed away in 2015 and bequeathed his home to me. In order to be able to keep it, my husband and I made the decision to renovate it completely (no more bachelor pad) and add it to the rental market. Eventually, we will sell our home and retire to this one, where we can enjoy all the natural surroundings!
