About this property

Beautiful brand new cottage overlooking the islands of Pleasant Harbour

Perched on a quiet rise above the Atlantic, The Smuggler's Nook is a brand-new, one-bedroom cottage designed for those who seek peace, beauty, and nearby opportunities to experience nature.

This small but thoughtfully crafted haven offers sweeping ocean views, modern comfort, and a deep connection to local folklore that lingers in the sea breeze.

The Eastern Shore is Nova Scotia's hidden gem, and the view from the cottage here is spectacular. We are overlooking the beautiful islands of Shoal Bay, these islands are part of the group known as the 100 wild islands. You can now relax and enjoy this beautiful view from our newly added hot tub!

There are absolutely beautiful beach parks on eith side of us, Taylor's Head Beach Park (10minute drive east), Clam Harbour Beach Park (20 minutes west), Martinique Beach, (30 minutes west). Martinique beach is known for its surfing and lessons are available there.
Just 5 minutes away in Tangier there is a Sea Kayaking outfit Coastal Adventures that does day tours, exploring the waters and beaches of the islands you'll be overlooking.

In the neighboring community of Sheet Harbour, 25 minutes to our East, you'll find amenities such as gas, groceries, nslc, restaurants such as the beautiful Henley House Pub and Restaurant. In Musqudoboit Harbour 25 minutes to our west, you'll find similar ammenities such as gas, groceries, nslc, and small restaurants.

As the cottage is on well water, we will supply some bottled water for your arrival.

The cottage is situated on a turn, so please use caution when using the driveway.

If you'd like to have a campfire, you'll find kindling and newpaper in the yellow salt box outside, a lighter in the island drawer, and firewood next to the fire pit. Please check NS Burn Restrictions Map to see if burning is allowed prior to having a fire.

Beautiful new cottage with lovely open concept kitchen and living room area and amazing views of the ocean. Quaint area in Nova Scotia with great restaurants not too far away and Taylor Head Provincial Park was great to visit with sandy beaches and scenic hiking trails along the ocean.

Charming Cottage

We stayed here for about a week and it had everything we needed. A fully equipped kitchen, laundry, a fire pit and BBQ grill. We were mesmerized by the beautiful viewsof Pleasant Bay. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. Wed stay there again.

We had an amazing visit to Pleasant Harbour. The home was brand new and absolutely immaculate. It had everything we needed for an incredibly comfortable stay. The views from inside and outside of the property were amazing. The photos do not do it justice. We were centrally located in relation to Halifax and Cape Breton, which was perfect for our excursions around Nova Scotia. We enjoyed visiting Taylor Head Provincial Park, which was just down the road. Andrew ensured that we had all of the necessary information before our arrival. I would highly recommend staying here if visiting Nova Scotia.

Beautiful new property with gorgeous views! Very clean, bright and excellent heating/cooling equipment. Very comfortable bed, lots of towels and dish cloths, very nice bbq! We couldn’t be more impressed. We even arranged to extend our visit. Excellent communication with Andrew as well! The only suggestion I would have is that it would be convenient to have a pull out chesterfield so that families could come. It was perfect for the two of us.
