We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The vila cleanliness was immaculate! Not a speck of dust to be seen, the linens and towels were so fresh and clean. The vila is well equipped with many value adds such as soap, hair dryers and top quality accessories such as the coffee machine. The kitchen had basic essentials for cooking which was very convenient. The beds were clean, comfortable and well equipped with additional blankets and pillows. The Vila is comfortable and homey. Jenny and Charles were very accommodating, communicative and responsive. Check in and out was simple and quick. Thank you so much for allowing us to use your villa for our stay- it was a great start to our east coast tour.

Good for sightseeing

We enjoyed our stay. The beds were very comfortable. Lots of stairs, beautiful view, close to Peggy’s cove. The road is fairly busy, so not great for walking anywhere if that’s what you like. Lots to do nearby.

Very clean and equiped with all you might need for a fantastic vacation. Host ensured that adults and kids are well taken care off. Little kindness like children's books for a bedtime and beach toys as well as variety of teas and sunscreen went a long way. Defenately would recomend this villa to anyone looking for the feeling of home away from home.

Jenny was great at communicating and sent us helpful information before our trip to help us find the exact location. The site was impeccably clean, and nicely decorated. The kitchen was well appointed, and the bathrooms were clean and well designed. There were some lovely touches that made this property stand out. I would highly recommend.
