The property is beautiful and in an amazing location! Relaxing in the hot tub overlooking the ocean after a long day on the go was perfect. The house is very nicely done and very clean.
The property owners were very nice and helpful. I highly recommend this property and would not hesitate to stay there again on a future trip.
This rental was everything we hoped for. The location was perfect, amazing views and very confortable. The spa was great and we could swim for the deck.
We really enjoyed this home on the water. Host was very accommodating. Outdoor amenities are great.

Chris has a beautiful place just outside of Tantallon! Both the sofa bed and bedroom could use new mattress as well as blinds for the living room windows but other than that our stay was fantastic. The view of the bay was spectacular, it was nice to soak in the hot tub each night.
This rental provides a private, well located place for a short term visit. Access to the unit is by stairs to the back of the main house located on a hill with a lovely water view. The kitchen facilities are somewhat limited but adequate, especially for those out sightseeing most of the time. Aside from noise from those living upstairs over the unit, it is a very comfortable place to stay.

Enjoyed our stay! Very comfortable and relaxing! Loved the area and beyond!
Thank you Chris and Stephani!
Get location, beautiful view, hosts were excellent. Highly recommended this property. Close to Peggy
Great location to Peggy cove, Mahoney bay, and Chester all great places to see. Great walking area and just around corner is great bakery. Beautiful views, Good hot tub, lovely dock to watch fish jump or catch a suntan. Lovely hosts
Modern and nicely decorated suite with lovely deck, bbq, hammock and hot tub. Overlooking a dock in a quiet cove. Missed having laundry facilities. Really pleased with our stay.
We really enjoyed our week, so peaceful and relaxing. View is amazing and especially liked the covered seating area on the deck, great for sitting out anytime of the day. Unit is very bright, clean and had everything we needed. Hosts are very friendly and accommodating, responding very quickly to any questions we had. Hoping to have a return stay!
We had a great stay at Chris and Stephanie’s VRBO on the water. The one bedroom suite had everything that we were looking for. It was clean, modern and private. It’s proximity to local towns, amenities, recreation and to Peggie’s Cove were great. Thanks Chris and Stephanie! We look forward to our next stay with you and the local blue heron!

The location was just perfect. The view, the hot tub, the kayak, the fire and the host = incredible. In top of all this, our daughter found a good friend in Macy. Thanks for everything Chris and Stephanie.
Beautiful& private with large outdoor area overlooking Margaret’s Bay - paradise.
Watching the tide rise & fall - complete with blue herons & the family dog Macey - simplely wonderful - thank u Chris & Stephanie
The owners were great, if we had any issues they were quick to deal with it. Loved their friendly dog. Great location. Kayaks and hot tub was a bonus. Our only concern was owners live right above the rental and it was a bit loud at times.
We loved the beautiful location with our own private ocean view deck . The one bdrm suite is airy and spacious and has everything needed to make a decent meal if you’re not too ambitious.
The bedding and towels are all nice, and the mattress is very comfy too. There is a dock down the little hill that we were welcome to use to swim off of when we wanted .
The owners are very nice and helpful, and respect their guests privacy.
We would definitely stay here again.
Convenient location 25 minutes from Peggy’s Cove and 7 minutes from shopping and an express bus to Halifax. Access to the unit is a little tricky with a steep driveway and an outdoor staircase. Excellent water views. The unit was reasonably well- stocked but could use better ventilation and window curtains.
It was a very nice property. Loved kayaking and looking at the seals as they were spying on us. The only thing I would suggest is you replace the pillows on the bed. Other than that everything was good.
The view and location was nice but the beds sucked and the noise from the landlords above the unit at night made it hard to sleep. Knowing now that it’s not separate from the landlords would not rent again. Hide a bed where my son sleep r all spring it’s very uncomfortable shower wont drain properly it’s clog both mattress from hide a bed and bed it self need to be replaced
The property was amazing, the views were stunning and peaceful and the hosts were fabulous!!! What a getaway. We could not have asked for a better situation. The weather wasn't always perfext but that doesn't matter when you have a great space and wonderful hosts :)
We saw seals, blue herons and were only a short drive from Halifax. Chris and Stephanie were very helpful and provided us with everything we needed, even lent us their pot and burner to boil our own lobsters outside! Many thanks to our friendly, accomodating hosts!
The property itself was nice, however it is a walkout basement, which we were unaware at time of booking. There was constant noise from foot traffic from the family upstairs which made our stay less peaceful than desired. The unit itself was nice and had most amenities required, although no oven. Nice shower and bed was comfortable. Hosts were unobtrusive and friendly, but you definitely felt their presence as noted above. Would not stay again due to the noise.
Chris et Stéphanie ont été des hôtes merveilleux. Nous avions tout ce que nous désirions. En plus du logement très bien situé, nous avions accès à deux kayaks et même à des cannes à pêche😁 Le logement était très propre et même s’il n’y avait qu’une chambre, nous avions assez d’espace avec nos deux enfants😊 Le spa était toujours bien apprécié en soirée 😁
