About this property

Beautiful Apartment on Brier Island

Your beautiful Brier Island holiday home is a ground floor apartment with living/dining area, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. It has its own private entrance. The sofa can be converted into a double bed for additional sleeping (6 adults maximum). We now have satellite TV with over 120 channels and are happy to offer complimentary WiFi to our guests. No dishwasher. Outside your door are two patios, one with a barbeque and both overlooking the water which is grand passage, a mere 9 metres away. Your living room window also looks out on the 'passage' and the fishing harbour of Westport, with its commercial fishing boats. When you walk out your door, if you turn right, you can amble up to the centre of the village where there is an amazing general store, a commercial lobster and scallop pound, a restaurant and the whale watching offices. If you turn left, you can wander down the road to one of two brier island lighthouses and the Canadian coast guard station. There is a third lighthouse on Peter Island, visible from the apartment. If you continue hiking past the station, you will discover one of the grey seal colonies that dot the coast. Ideal for whale watching and bird watching.

Right on!…the Harbor!
We enjoy doing our own small meals and getting out to the wilderness! This was so well appointed, artful and charming! The touches such as heated floors were so nice to come home to after a wet whale excursion! We loved our ease of access to everything. We hiked most of the island, enjoyed the restored nature preserve bog, and captured wonderful Milky Way, meteor shower, and stunning Aurora pictures! The hosts are THE best! They really have put their hearts into their island home!

Good Apartment / Briar Island poor
The apartment was really nice and Marie was agreat host. The Briar Island has few to nothing things to do. Closest shopping is 90 minutes drive unless you want to try the local shop with minimal options and like gold prices. Everything closes 7pm.....no bank or ATM and definitely is not a place for a family with small kids.

Fantastic Destination for Much Needed R&R!!
Couldn’t ask for better hosts! They were welcoming, friendly, and very knowledgeable on what to do in the area. Apartment was perfect! Very clean with everything we needed and lovely decor. Had a fabulous time exploring this beautiful island from end to end. Whale watching tour is a must but we did see lots of marine animals from shore. Great place to beach comb. Very few tourists around which made our stay very peaceful and serene. Would definitely recommend staying at the Paradise on Brier Island. The name suits it to a tee!!

Perfect stay on Brier Island
Everything about this property was first class. The apartment was clean and well-appointed. The garden was beautiful, and the hosts friendly and attentive. Getting there is much of the fun. Two short ferry rides make this a memorable destination. They also make it not very convenient to anywhere else. It takes a while to get to Digby even. So plan to stay on Brier Island for a few days rather than make it a center for day trips. The setting on Brier Isl. is spectacular. We enjoyed hiking and whale watching. You can see the ferry coming and going from the apartment too. There are not many dining options on the island, but we cooked in the small, but efficient kitchen. The only reason we didn’t give 5 stars across the board was that the vrbo online listing was inaccurate with respect to available dates. It took some back and forth with the host to straighten things out. For a few days of rest and relaxation, you can’t go wrong with this property.

Finding home away from home.
If you are looking for comfort, amenities and wonderful space, Paradise on Brier is the place to stay. It is where you can walk about on numerous trails, cycle, watch the tide roll in and out, visit Seal Cove, listen to the sound of the ferry horn blowing shuttling whale watchers in and out of this tiny island found at the tip of the western peninsula of Nova Scotia facing the Bay of Fundy. Our host and hostess were amazing, engaged and supportive providing suggestions of places to visit or explore. It is time to stop and listen to your heart, it is at Paradise on Brier Island.

Great Little Getaway Place
This is a basement apartment in a house where owners live upstairs, and they'll welcome you on your arrival as if you are coming to stay with relatives. The location of the house is great, and it's right near the ferry terminal. It has a great view of the Grand Passage. Wonderful little rental place with lots of hummingbirds in the flower garden.

Amazing vacations!
Such an amazing place to stay! The apartment is very clean, cozy. Very well located. Brier Island is very quiet, beaches are amazing, even if you cannot swim. The fauna and flora are incredible. We saw a lot of birds, Seals, whales, etc. The owner is very nice, easy to communicate with and resourceful! Great spot. Would stay here again!

Schöne Ferienwohnung, sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet
Wir haben auf der Nova Scotia-Rundreise einige Quartiere kennengelernt - hier haben wir uns besonders wohl gefühlt! Die Einrichtung ist sehr geschmackvoll, es ist nicht einfach nur ein "Schlafquartier"!

Lovely apartment featuring great views
We had a lovely week on Brier Island hiking, running, whale watching, seal watching and hanging out. Our hosts were extremely nice both prior to our arrival as well as during our stay recommending activities and connecting us to people on the island. Aside from this our hosts are very caring with a great sense of humour.

Need to escape? Peaceful getaway on beautiful Brier Island!!
Fabulous vacation spot which forces you to slow down and relax while taking in the beauty of a remote Nova Scotia island. Beautiful location, tastefully decorated apartment with an awesome host family. Fantastic spot for moderate hikers, whale & seal watching, sunsets, and lighthouse enthusiasts. Sandy beach also near by. Great vacation!!
