I absolutely loved my stay at this wonderful property on my first trip to Nova Scotia! It was a perfect spot from which to explore the region, take in harbor views, savor the fall color in a peaceful spot, and enjoy many beautiful coastal hikes. Rachael and Domenic were warm, welcoming, supportive hosts, and made my vacation one I will long treasure!

We had a very good time! The only minuses are the ocean view, only given in one bedroom, and the quite crowded kitchen / living room / 3rd bedroom combined all in one. We found in that aspect the pictures a little deceptive. But all in all, very nice flat, extremely friendly tenants and the kayaks were a definite upgrade.

Dominic and Rachael have been lovely hosts. They were there to greet us and give us the inside scoop on all the best spots and fun things to do! Coffee out on the water was a beautiful way to start our mornings. I would recommend this home to everyone I know and can’t wait to come back again!

This place was perfect for us. Great location, great views, perfect amount of space - we could have fit more in, but we are only three; it just meant we had lots of space to move. Owners were amazingly responsive. No complaints at all. Everything was lovely.

We loved our stay at Sea Escape. The view of the harbor in the morning from the bedroom in is unmatched. It was a perfect size for the two of us and we appreciated the location -- not far from sights like Peggy's Cove or from the Halifax waterfront but also in a quiet area away from traffic. The hosts were very helpful, especially when we had questions.

Quite and Relaxing

The place is really clean and the views of the bay from the room were breathtaking. Also being able to have a meal on the dock and watching boats in the bay was very relaxing. I would stay there again.

The rooms were very clean and it was a beautiful, quiet area. However, I wish some of the description had been more clearly detailed, such as it being on the second floor. Nonetheless, the hosts were extremely nice, and it was a fun trip, despite some unfortunate weather.

Great Location and Gracious Hosts

The property was clean and as advertised and the location was ideal for exploring the south shore or quick trips into Halifax. Dominic and Rachel are gracious hosts who did everything to make our stay memorable. While we were there, they offered suggestions for activities and tips for sight-seeing as well as made sure that we were comfortable. They were quick to respond to any questions prior to the trip as well.

Ketch Habour in October

Ketch Habour is a beautiful little community. The view from our rental was amazing! We could see the ocean out the main bedroom. The rooms were lovely and easily accommodated two children and three adults. There were even toys for the kids! The hosts were extremely welcoming and informative of what was available in the area. We would love to return!
