About this property

Back Harbour House - Remarkable Chester Waterfront

New for 2025 ... Not 'near' the water, not even 'on' the water, but 'IN' the water!

One of the most unique stays on the South Shore & perfect for quiet getaways where the plan is - no plan at all. The Back Harbour House is for reviving your energy oceanside, with the best front-row seats in town.

An architecturally unique home filled with modern flair in a timeless Chester setting. Watch the boats go by, or bring yours down & join the fun on the water straight from our 21-foot dock. You are welcome to boat in & out for your daily excursions.

The interior is super-stylish, extremely well-appointed & designed with relaxation in mind. With front-row ocean views from every room in the home, it's hard to feel any stress at Back Harbour House. Let the boats sail out into the bay & take your worries with them.

If heading out for the day is on the agenda, all of the magic of Nova Scotia's South Shore is on your doorstep - Lunenburg, Mahone Bay & our personal favourite - the picturesque village of Chester is easily reachable on foot.

A one-of-a-kind place, filled with ocean grace. You will fall in love ...
