The Crooks’ Cottage!

Our accommodations perfectly fit our needs. The cleanliness and amenities as well as location more than satisfied our expectations. And the view from the bayside chairs was breathtaking. Wish I lived closer so I could return! Thank you so much!

Wonderful Place!

This place was as pictured and worth every penny. Tastefully decorated and a thoughtful welcome gift. We loved having an outside space so close to the water. And the location so close to Peggys Cove was a highlight. We would recommend staying here and would come back!! :)

Memorable

East coast all the way! A comfortable place to call home. Exactly what was advertized. The chairs right on the ocean were an added bonus! We watched many beautiful sunsets, and plenty of lobster boat action. Falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean right outside your window. Thanks Debora.

Don’t forget your camera!

Very comfortable home away from home with spectacular views - even with a visit from Fiona! Amazing hosts - went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. Located minutes from Peggy’s cove by car or walking distance to L’Acadie restaurant, Maguire art Gallery or sea glass hunting along the shore. The beautiful sunsets from the living room, porch or seaside chairs will leave you reaching for your camera!

Week at Indian Harbor/Peggy's Cove

We had a memorable and pleasant experience at Indian Harbor. Location was fabulous for accessing scenic coastline and places of historic significance. Easy trip into/out of Halifax; enjoyed museums and the Citadel. Halifax itself is a busy city and lots of one-way streets! The property was exceptionally clean and tastefully decorated in the style of St Margaret's Bay. We had no issues; any communications with Deb were answered immediately. We would highly recommend!!

A Little Paradise

This place was absolutely lovely! From the cozy and spacious inside, to the large deck out back, to the amazing water view, to the kind neighbours who freely shared their stories with us and offered us unique experiences of feeding wild fish and discovering a private path down to the water ... we could have stayed here an entire month! This place felt like home and was the best stocked kitchen we've ever experienced in a rental place! Thank you Debora for going above and beyond in making this place feel so good to be in :)

About the host

Hosted by Debora Crooks

I grew up in Indian Harbour, only a stone's throw from this cottage. It is a beautiful place, even in the worst of weather! Being near the ocean brings a sense of peace to my busy world. I hope it does the same for you.

Why they chose this property

The cottage originally belonged to my brother, who was a fisherman. He passed away in 2015 and bequeathed his home to me. In order to be able to keep it, my husband and I made the decision to renovate it completely (no more bachelor pad) and add it to the rental market. Eventually, we will sell our home and retire to this one, where we can enjoy all the natural surroundings!
