About this property

The Beacon at Bayswater Beach

An authentic escape to a world of peace and coastal freedom & it's right around the corner ...

This spectacular seaside setting is simply unmatched at any price point. Your own oceanfront modern cabin, views across the Bay to Peggy's Cove lighthouse and surrounded by 11 acres of forested lands. As peaceful, private and Nova Scotia perfect as it gets.

Ideal for memorable couples getaways, only a very scenic 45 mins from the city. Although the pristine sands of Bayswater Beach are just down the road, you might find yourself not wanting to go anywhere at all. The Beacon is both small on footprint and HUGE on finishes. Loaded with all of the right modern touches, you get that cozy cabin comfort - without the compromise. Your retreat to easily revive, reconnect and replenish.

If you are looking to get out and explore, hop on the Lighthouse Route for short journeys to all of the adorable and historic towns of the South Shore. And those beaches ...

When you need to hit the reset button, the Beacon at Bayswater Beach is just a booking away ...

We loved this property! From the minute you walk in the door you know you’ve made the right choice. The view is spectacular and the home is so very comfortable. A lot of thought and love has gone into this property and it shows. The beds are super comfortable and the property is well equipped. The fact that it is pet friendly adds to its appeal. The hosts are friendly and easily reached should you have any questions. Sit back relax and enjoy!

The property was lovely from the great cabin to the gorgeous views … we wanted a place to get away and disconnect and the Beacon checked all of the boxes … all conveniences were at hand, we wanted for nothing, hand to think of nothing other than relaxing. We heard nothing but birds and waves and visited by rabbits and deers! So glad we found this hidden away gem.

Celebration of Life

On this occasion, we were in Nova Scotia for a family member’s Celebration of Life and decided to extend our visit by staying at the Beacon. It is a wonderful place, and we were very comfortable and especially enjoyed the ocean views. We also had a lovely family gathering, with a BBQ and dessert by the fire pit. The only drawback is the condition of the access road - hopefully for those who use it frequently it will be fixed! Thanks for everything!

Thank you for the kind words Bea, it is a spectacular spot, we agree! And yes, the road leading to the property is slated for repair in the next few days, so it will be smooth driving on your next trip in! Be well and we look forward to seeing you again in the future. Brooke & Alan

Waking up to the smell and sound of the ocean every morning cannot be beat at The Beacon. A beautiful setting and a beautiful property. The hosts think of everything and you need for nothing. They are quick to respond with any questions and the property is in a great location to do day drives to just about anywhere so you really get to see Nova Scotia and still have time to enjoy some relaxation at The Beacon. We definitey checked out some of the local restauratns too, The Rope and Loft and The Seaside Shanty both did not disappoint. Even got some takeout at Alexandra's Pizza which was amazing. We would love to return one day, hopefully not to far away. Thank you Brooke & Alan! We had an amazing getaway!
