What a beautiful little cottage.

We enjoyed our stay so much. The cottage was cozy and had everything we needed for preparing meals and watching the water. We were able to explore Halifax, and points to the south like Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg and Chester very conveniently. 10/10

Perfect location!

We had such a great stay! The cottage and location are ideal. Our kids explored the shore and found ocean treasures and us parents enjoyed the view and serenity. Not too far from the city and we got the quintessential East Coast experience. Host was a pleasure to deal with!

I never want to leave!

Clean, comfortable, well-appointed? Yep. But this place is much much more. My wife and I arrived after two weeks on the road, and didn’t really leave. Breakfast, lunch and dinner in. Outdoor fires in the evening. Marathon Trivial Pursuit games while listening to the great music collection, and watching the tides ebb and flow. We barely had time to read! This is the family cottage on the water your family never managed to have. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful waterfront oasis!

What an incredible property right on the water. Cottage was very clean, fully stocked and beds were very comfortable. Our little guy loved playing outside on the deck and watching the water. Nice and close to town to grab anything you need. Marcia is a great host. Highly recommend!

This cottage had everything we ever needed. And the view was gorgeous! A great location away from Halifax. But close enough that you could easily go to Halifax, Peggy’s Cove, and Lunenburg.

Cozy & Beautiful Cottage by the water!

My wife and I stayed at Marcia’s place for 5 nights and could not have been happier! The place was very comfortable, clean, and provided us with beautiful views & lots of fun sitting around the bonfire at night. We had no issues whatsoever, and Marcia was nice enough to check in on us to make sure everything was going smoothly. The best part was that the location was close to Peggy’s Coast, Lunenberg, Halifax, and Dartmouth - we even did a small road trip up to Burntcoat Park to walk on the ocean floor! Highly recommend this stay to anyone looking to enjoy some rest & relaxation, and the beauty of what Nova Scotia has to offer. Thanks Marcia!

Wonderful getaway

We loved our week-long stay at this beautiful little cottage. Marcia’s attention to detail and smart utilization of the space creates a comfortable, peaceful spot just perfect for a couple or small family. I miss having my morning tea at the water with visits from the cove’s local crane (or is it a heron?) and again by the fire to ward off the evening fog’s gentle chill. For now, I’ll look forward to the day we return.
