Two bedroom bright lower flat (all linens included, full kitchen with all amenities, full bath with washer/dryer, living & dining room. Barbecue and fire pit. Pets welcome. Several sandy beaches within walking distance in magnificent St. Margarets Bay (don’t forget your bathing suits and sunscreen). Magnificent 32 km. hiking/biking/4 wheel trail right at your doorstep and bicycle rental/touring company nearby. Also close to Queensland Beach and beautiful downtown Hubbards. Approx. 40 min to Stanfield International Airport, Peggy's Cove or downtown Halifax.

Great place to stay

We really enjoyed our stay in this home. Clean, spacious, comfortable across the street from the water. Great owner to work with. She makes sure your stay has all it needs including bikes for the bike trail right off the back property and kayaks and paddle boards. Wish we had more time to play!! Close drive to Halifax and Peggy’s Cove. Definitely recommend!

Beyond Expectations

From the location to the host, amenities to cleanliness my friend and I loved our stay. Ethal was so friendly and accommodating. You could see and hear the water right outside your door. We each slept well and had everything we needed. We were able to reach so many must see spots easily, Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg, Mahone's Bay, Halifax, so many parks and beaches and also did the local lobster supper. The drives were beautiful and views incredible. Hope to return with my family!

Nice self contained suite

The suite is clean and well appointed and has everything you need. The host is very friendly, helpful and relaxed. We stayed there during Hurricane Fiona and the host did her best to accommodate us in-spite of a 3 day power outage and some challenges. She will definitely get a generator to be more self sufficient for events such as this. But meanwhile, a friend brought a pot of coffee over which demonstrated the famous Nova Scotian community sense and hospitality. It was a memorable experience.

Epic, down home hospitality

Such a little piece of heaven. Ethel is very welcoming and very knowledgeable about the area. Location is great as a jumping off place convenient to the airport and south shore. We hope we can return one day and will recommend to family and friends. Thank you so very much Ethel we will remember always

Relaxing get away

What a great property and host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and only wish we could have stayed longer. The home is very comfortable and had every amenity we needed for us and our two dogs. Ethel was so hospitable and we appreciated her warm welcome, suggestions for places to eat and visit in the area and even the use of her bikes. The trail system right behind her home is fantastic and her property itself has a lot to offer. Would highly recommend staying here to anyone. Great location to access so much in the area!

An experience!

The lower flat was clean and very well equipped with almost everything imaginable ( though a battery operated radio might have been a good addition!). The beds were comfortable. The location was great, being close to lovely beaches and tourist destinations, as well as being an easy drive from Halifax. Everything was great until the arrival of a hurricane which knocked out power to the region. It left us without water, heat or functioning toilets. Since it was uncertain when power might resume, we left for home the day after the storm, 2 days before we planned. Unfortunately, circumstances meant that we left the flat in a messy condition that normally would have horrified us. Because of this, when Ethel offered us a refund, we agreed to accept only 50% to compensate her for having to clean up after us. If we have the opportunity, we would return to The Beach House and we would recommend it to others as a nice place to stay, but perhaps not in hurricane season!

Great location!

We were looking for something central to some of the spots we wanted to see - Halifax, Lunenburg, Peggy’s Cove, etc. This little spot was perfect for the 4 of us. We didn’t use the “property” much...only to eat a couple of meals and sleep, but it worked great for us. Lots of stuff to use if we wanted (bikes, boogie boards, etc) but we were gone everyday. Ethel was pleasant and friendly - lovely lady! Although we were in the lower flat, we hardly heard her upstairs at all. A great, comfortable spot!

The property was great especially for family with small children. Access to water, with kayaks, canoes etc. The bathroom is on the small side, but has all that is needed.

Great place, great host

This place was exactly as describe, and perfectly located for our trip. The place was clean and comfortable. I really appreciated the homey feel. I was able to make meals for the family and even got a couple loads of laundry done. Plenty of windows for a downstairs suite. The beds were comfortable. The host, Ethel was wonderfull. Very prompt on her emails, very helpful once we got there. I would definitely recommend this place.

Wonderful "Little Piece of Heaven"!

Beautiful bright clean! Wonderful host! Beautiful setting! Of the 4 HomeAways we stayed at this was by far the best! Located very close to Peggy's Cove (30 min) . Host has kayaks avaliable for use. Badminton, bikes, with 35 k trail behind the house and so much more. Everything you need while away, she has! So many beaches near by! I can't say enough wonderful things about the host. She is such a happy bubby person and so approachable. The only negative was having to leave. This truly is a little piece of heaven!

Bright half basement, great with kids

The half basement apartment had windows all around making it very bright. We didn’t feel in a half basement at all. The kids appreciated the many toys put to their disposal and we appreciated the hosts suggestions for visits and restaurants. There were several beaches nearby.
