We loved this property because of the location and the number of rooms and spacious size of the accommodation. Fawson Cove is right across from the front windows and you can watch the sunrise every morning across the water. The kitchen has all the necessary appliances and great selection of pots/pans etc for cooking as well as spices and condiments which many places do not. The surrounding area and many harbours and boats to look at and Halifax is a quick 30 min drive from this location. Great place to rest and relax. The hosts were very kind, had great suggestions of things to do and answered our questions right away. Wonderful dealing with them! A great visit overall!

Although the hosts were wonderful and helpful but they didn't disclose that they lived on the premises therefore there wasn't much privacy. The listing said there was a fire pit, however they declined to mention it was in their back yard. There were far too many rules and lots of ants inside and out

The cottage was clean and nice. Had a nice view of the water. June was very responsive. The only things that were great is the Barbeque only has one working burner and is pretty worn out. The other thing is that one of the beds rolled around as it didn't have wheel stoppers under the wheels.

This is by far one of the best cottages I have stayed at. It was very clean and nicely decorated, and it had everything we needed. One of the highlights of this cottage is the stunning morning view overlooking the waterfront. They even have a Hummingbird come visit in the mornings. We were also lucky to meet the owners, who gave us some helpful tips, saving us time exploring the area. The owners truly wanted to make sure we enjoyed our stay, and for that, I am very thankful.

Comfortable home a nice distance away from the city but still close enough to the things we wanted to do. The home had everything we needed. Great hosts! Just need updated photos of the exterior as there have been changes made to the property. Thanks for everything!

Perfect weekend getaway

The house was lovely and clean. June was extremely responsive, and the check-in process was a breeze. The house was very well appointed and well organized with everything you could need, including a few extras like coffee, tea, and a few snacks.

Well appointed and comfortable with all the basic supplies- tea,coffee, soap, etc.. The beds vary in firmness, which we appreciated. The views are beautiful and there is a perfect kayak launching spot feet from the house. June was very responsive, gave us some great reccomendations, and was very sweet. We highly reccomend this home.

Home for a wedding

Seven of us came from Calgary and Toronto to attend a wedding in Peggy’s Cove. June’s place was our home base and it was all we could have asked for… watching the tide change, campfires and zipping back and forth to Halifax.

A great location with a house needing a few tweaks.

This house was in a great location right on the waterfront where you can sit in the morning watching the birds. The biggest concern with the property was the cleanliness. The sheets on one of the beds smelled and was visibly dirty. The toilets were also needing cleaning. Additionally, one of the rooms opened directly into the staircase. There was also a problem with the door in one of the bedrooms. In summary, the location was nice but the inside left things to be desired.

I thought the property was OK. A few things stood out in which I was a little confused with. One is if you post a hot tub on site ....show us the Hot tub. There was no hot tub. Next please clean the BBQ It was very dirty and needed bigtime cleaning. Also when you have a firepit please have wood available. I stayed at many VRBOS and everyone had plenty of wood. There was no wood and luckily I got some from some good people around the surrounding area. I'm just happy I looked after my family so they could have a great time. I guess over-all it was a good time but please advertise what you really do and don't have. Oh and I would say Crystal Crescent beach was amazing.

Very clean and very quaint home with beautiful views. Communication with the host was quick, they were extremely helpful and respectful of privacy as well. Great property to stay close to Halifax but stay out of the busy traffic and noise. This was our first trip to Nova Scotia and we were able to check off many boxes from our to-do list around Halifax keeping this beautiful home as our base of operations each night. Thank you so much for sharing your property!
