About this property

Riverside Retreat of Mavillette

Take it easy at this tranquil riverside getaway. Although it is attached to the main house it is a self contained, open concept unit. Relax on the back deck to watch the birds and look for deer. Two sit on kayaks are available to use and there is a great fire pit for enjoying quiet evenings under the stars. 1km to Nova Scotia famous Mavillette beach. The river in the back yard is great for swimming and leads right through the wetlands to the Ocean. Equipped with a mini fridge, hot plate, microwave/convection oven, toaster and bbq and all kitchen essentials.

The backyard and path to the river were nice, very picturesque. The riverside dock is a wonderful spot to sit and relax, have your morning coffee or sip a drink in the evening. Lots of space in the apartment for four people. Kitchen was well stocked, the coffee was good.

My daughter and I had a wonderful stay. Lee was so kind, helpful, and easy to communicate with. He made us feel very welcome with our big dog and not at all a bother. The accommodation is well cared for and had everything we needed. Super close to a beautiful beach. And to top it off we were able to enjoy the kayaks that Lee offered. I would highly recommend.

Didn’t even stay. Smelled so bad like cleaner and febreeze that I had an allergic reaction and upon leaving immediately, I slipped in the ice on the deck from perpetually dripping water. No response for 20 hours from the host and had to contact support for a refund. Happy Valentine’s Day.

Close to Mavilette Beach

We were greeted by Lee on arrival and shown to our home for the weekend. Nice clean studio type apartment with lots of amenities. Comfortable bed, and nice powerful shower. Pet friendly too which was a bonus Mavilette Beach is just a 3 minute drive away.
