St Margaret's Bay View

Property was as described, clean with a breath taking view into St Margaret's Bay. Being here on a business trip it was convenient to the local yacht club where we ran training from. The BBQ was an added bonus enabling to enjoy some awesome evening meals.

wow!!!

Just as advertised! Wow what a great location. Very clean, very well equipped pots pans dishes linens, I love to cook and found everything I needed for our 19 day stay. Paper products cleaning products, But really what impressed was the wildlife. A seagull who had 3 crabs for breakfast on the beach directly in front of us, two pair of Canada geese with a combined 10 chicks, a pair of ducks with 5 ducklings and a beautiful pair of bald eagles. every day great blue herons fishing for our enjoyment, a sea otter, cormorants fishing all just amazing, And finally Nick our host was great we had a small glitch with wi-fi and he immediately got us a call from the provider, Done. Very responsive. n

A peaceful, beautiful setting

We loved the everchanging view and colourful sunsets through the front windows. Deer, ducks and geese visited. The cottage was well stocked and comfortable. As soon as we arrived, Nick was on the phone asking if we needed anything. His welcome basket was most thoughtful. It was easy to drive to the grocery store in one direction and to Peggy's Cove in the other. It was the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday and access to my art workshops.

Gorgeous Location

This property is well situated for visiting Halifax and much of the south shore area. It's located in a private, quiet neighbourhood. The cottage is cozy and the host is more than helpful. A very enjoyable stay!

Spotless, roomy cottage with a gorgeous view and very thoughtful details including books, games, pantry essentials, and lovely welcome basket. Easy to get to Peggy’s Cove, Halifax, and other attractions. Owner very responsive and easy to communicate with. One of our best NS trips! Thanks very much, Nick.

Superbes vacances

Nous avons passé une semaine merveilleuse au chalet de Nick ! L'emplacement est idéal! Ni trop près ni trop loin de la ville, beaucoup de commodité ... et que dire de la plage privée ! MAGNIFIQUE !!! Le son des vagues tout au long de la journée, la quiétude ... tout y était pour passer un bon moment. C'était propre et très joli. Nick nous a laissé un super beau panier de bienvenue, nous nous sommes régalés !

Amazing Return Trip

Thank you so much Nick! We had another amazing week at your beautiful spot. Arriving to a spotless cottage, with a welcome basket, and a view that can’t be matched, was the start to a wonderful week. We can’t wait to return again next summer.

Great south shore location

Comfortable stay in a great location very convenient for trips to Halifax, Peggy’s Cove and Lunenburg. Friendly and readily available host. Really loved Shaw’s Landing restaurant nearby, as well as treats from White Sail. Was lucky to be there during the annual Peggy’s Cove Festival of the Arts. Note the small beach is not private and on nice days will be visited by others.

Lovely cottage in amazing location ❤️

My husband and I stayed for a week along with my parents and two young children. The views from the whole front of the cottage were amazing, you are literally steps from the water. My son (a huge nature enthusiast) was over the moon about the crabs and starfish he found. The cottage was immaculate and we arrived to a welcome basket of yummy foods, much appreciated after driving for 11 hrs! The location was excellent and allowed us easy access to Halifax, Peggy’s Cove, Lunenberg and others along the south shore. A perfect family getaway ❤️

Perfect Getaway!

This was our second visit to this lovely cottage, first was 6 years ago. A perfect location, with great proximity to Peggy's Cove, Halifax, and of course, Ryer's Lobster! Wonderful restaurants also in the vicinity. Open, airy, fully equipped, and steps to the beach. Wonderful neighbours. Thanks again, Nick!

Very Enjoyable Stay

My husband , myself and our two poodles had a lovely stay in this well equipped, very clean ‘summer home’. Well located for picking up a few incidentals at the grocery stores. Our adult kids stayed the last night and we had a fire on the beach. A welcome basket was left for us brimming with all sorts of goodies. Only downside is that once booked it is 100% non refundable which presents quite a risk if you book 9 months in advance 😉

Relaxing cottage near Peggy’s Cove

Bathroom door handle difficult to open, requires maintenance also door handle on front bayside bedroom. Label of different types of refuse bags would be helpful. Update guest instruction binder for better presentation. TV channel listing would be helpful. Magnificent view. Thought adjoining roads would be noisy but no traffic so very quiet and relaxing environment. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Why they chose this property

My family has enjoyed this property since the 1960's. It is located on pristine & unspoiled St Margarets Bay which provides a fabulous venue for water sports of all types. Beautiful western exposure and sunsets are the hall mark of this property.
