Ketch Harbour

Our host was lovely. She provided suggestions that we appreciated. The place was clean and the beds comfortable. The kitchen and bedrooms are upstairs which was fine with us, but may not be for some. The kitchen area and fridge are small which posed a bit of a challenge because there were five of us.

Great hosts!

Ketch Harbour is a quiet, peaceful community. Dominic and Rachel were wonderful hosts. We were there through hurricane Fiona in 2022 and although we were without power for 2 days, we were well cared for and they made sure all our basic needs were met. The place was exactly as listed.

Great Location and Gracious Hosts

The property was clean and as advertised and the location was ideal for exploring the south shore or quick trips into Halifax. Dominic and Rachel are gracious hosts who did everything to make our stay memorable. While we were there, they offered suggestions for activities and tips for sight-seeing as well as made sure that we were comfortable. They were quick to respond to any questions prior to the trip as well.

Ocean breezes to wake us every morning

Great place for our family of four adults! Loved the view of the harbor. Limited kitchen but we were able to eat continental breakfasts with the toaster oven and small fridge. Watch the water temp…when it says hot water it means HOT!!!! Hosts were great and responsive!!!

Cozy and welcoming apartment

My 17 year old son and I stayed at the apartment while visiting universities in the Halifax area. It was wonderful to be able to have easy access to the city while also being able to retreat to the amazing beauty of Ketch Cove. The apartment is comfy, has great views and everything you need for a stay. Dominic and Rachael are about the nicest people you will ever meet, and they were very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. Highly recommended.

Highly Recommended to Visit

My friends and I stayed at the Sea Escape 2 over the weekend for a mini-vacation, and we had an amazing experience! The location is perfectly placed in the center of nearby attractions: Crystal Crescent Beach was 10 minutes away in one direction, and Duncan Cove hiking trails were closer to 5 minutes away in the other direction. Halifax is not too far away either, so you are not completely isolated if you need something from the city. The property itself was very well thought out. The aesthetic and style were very cozy and welcoming, with an amazing oceanfront view to wake up to just outside your window. It truly fits the Sea Escape theme! We were blown away by how much care and attention to detail was put into the place. Rachael and Dominic are very humble and welcoming. They really put a lot of care and love into the place and into making sure visitors are taken care of with just as much love. We felt at home away from home and we couldn't have asked for a better host! Thank you for the amazing experience! I will definitely be coming back again for more adventures!

Amazing location and hosts

We stayed for a week and enjoyed our stay in Ketch Harbour. The place was very clean, tidy and had everything that was needed for a comfortable stay. The location is very close to the harbour and there’s a beautiful ocean view from the bedroom. There are lots of other coves and bays nearby to explore as well. Rachael and Dominic are amazing hosts and are very helpful and welcoming. They both have good recommendations for places to see in and around Ketch Harbour and Halifax. I highly recommend their place at Ketch Harbour. Thanks again!
