A beautiful well-taken home that was thoroughly enjoyed by our family! There was a lot of things for our family to do in this area of Nova Scotia. The breath taking views were loved by all and will be remembered for a very long time. The host was easily reached and very accommodating

Wonderful family getaway

We were ten adults aged 28-89, and the house was an excellent spot for our family holiday. It was very well-equipped, very clean and cosy with lots of welcoming touches. Space for all to find some quiet time, and very comfortable beds. The host was responsive, and we explored lots of the highlights of the area. Highly recommend!

Home away from Home

My siblings and I loved The Cove House! Loved all of the little nooks to sit, relax, read and enjoy the view. We also loved the spacious living room for conversations. The 9 of us could gather there "remembering" our past and our recent adventures to all of the great places near by. So grateful for our time together and the beautiful home where we could make more memories!

Congress Mondial Acadie

Our family band stayed at this wonderful historic home for a week during the Congress Mondial Acadie festival. There was plenty of sleeping space for everyone. We enjoyed great times cooking together in the kitchen and then visiting by the front yard fire pit in the wonderful red Adirondack chairs.

Grandma's 70th

This property sits on a quiet seaside road in Belliveaus Cove. It was everything we anticipated and provided a wonderful opportunity for family to be together and enjoy the coastline of St. Mary's Bay, visit Digby, Annapolis Royal, beaches, go Whale Watching, clamming, several great places to eat a wide variety of seafood dishes, watch the tides come in and out. Wonderful home environment enjoyed by all.

Great for Families

The house is lovely - comfortable and inviting. The host goes the extra mile to provide everything you may need. It’s the perfect house for large families and we loved the extra touches for younger children. Everyone enjoyed taking turns in the small sunroom - reading, drawing, or napping. There is a chair for everyone around the fire pit and spectacular sunsets. Although we loved the boardwalk, Mavillette Beach (sandy beach) is a 35 min drive away. Well worth the drive - one of the best beaches in NS.

Check-in was simple and Madison was kind enough to allow early-access to the property. There was ample seating and activity space for the full family, and the warf is directly across the street to provide easy access to the waterfront and Saturday morning farmers market. Sunsets from the front patio and yard are spectacular! We we're also able to have the perfect view of the full moon from the outdoor seating area.The kitchen is equipped with everything you could need to cook a meal for a large family gathering, and seating was ample around the dining table thanks to the size and the bench. The coffee bar was the highlight for me, with a Keurig machine, drip coffee, and French press all available.

Mom’s 80th Birthday

Mine and my brother’s family gathered at The Cove House with my mother to celebrate her 80th birthday. There were 10 of us, ranging in age from 19 to 80. There was lots of space and cozy places for everyone. The house is decorated beautifully and is extremely well equipped. We made a turkey dinner for everyone on our second night there. I hope to stay there again.

Family weekend

We enjoyed staying in this lovely home. There seemed to be a misunderstanding when I tried to reach the owner by phone but once we got to messaging, all went very well. Loved the market on Saturday and on Sunday. It was right across the street from our house, so very handy. There’s a lovely trail right behind the market (across the street) and the pebbly beach across the street was peaceful and provided lovely stones and sea glass. The adults enjoyed the spiffy Keurig machine with built in milk frother. The house is very comfortable. Loved the two chaise longue, especially the one in the sun room. More seating in living room would be nice. We would happily return.

Had high expectations going in and all of them were exceeded. The house itself accommodated 4 families very comfortably and every little detail was meticulously thought through - host Madison & Jody have clearly put their heart & soul into this place which honours the local Acadian traditions. The property overlooks the ocean which allowed us to take our time and walk on it at low tide. It is located in a quiet community but close to spectacular scenery and beaches such as Smugglers Cove and Mavilette beach where the kids swam and became master beachcombers finding large never before seen sea shells. This place provided the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of more popular getaways. In truth, we thought the Brier Island Lighthouse easily rivalled that of Peggy’s Cove - and we had it all to ourselves. The place feels like it’s off the beaten path yet still very accessible as it is only 25 min drive from Digby ferry. We all highly recommend this place. Any one looking to catch up with family & friends away from the blare of conventional tourist swells, where the only distraction is a stunning sunset and tidal movements that leave you awestruck, cannot go wrong with the Cove House. Fully satisfied.

Wonderful experience

We had a great experience for our family vacation of 3 families. Beautiful home and location. Owner was quick to respond to any requests and enjoyed the walking trails and proximity to many tourist attractions. I would recommend this location for any family.
