Mark's house is beautiful and being so close to the beach was ideal.

We had extended family gathered together in one place for a week and we all enjoyed ourselves. Lots of room to spread out and relax and meals were particularly easy and enjoyable aided by the wide array of amenities and kitchen facilities. Mark was very responsive to any questions we had. We hope to return in the future. Thank you, Mark.

The perfect rental!!!!

Our family recently made a trip to Nova Scotia to attend a wedding in New Glasgow. We felt welcomed before we even arrived. Mark and Tristin went out of their way to accommodate our family, even finding a crib for our grandchild that stayed 2 nights with us. The panoramic views were spectacular from all parts of the house. We ate meals, played games and drank wine from the large outside deck. Wonderful walks on the beach and incredible bonfires in the evenings. The kitchen was magnificent and fully equipped with all the modern conveniences. Lovely furnishings throughout the home. One of my favorites was "THE" folder that answered every question about the house and also included phone #s to restaurants and takeout places. The neighbors were so friendly and helpful! Our trip and this house were unforgettable. Thanks you so much for allowing others to share your beautiful home!!!

Great family beach house!

My family of 11 enjoyed a week here. The home is as advertised but really more beautiful in person. We did a lot of cooking and the kitchen was especially well equipped which we appreciated. The beach is fabulous and we enjoyed daily swims. The water was even warm enough for the adults. We would definitely stay here again.

Awesome Beach house with great beach, all the amenities & great location

Our family got together for a week at the beach house and were met by the owner Mark. He gave us the rundown on the place and he was very helpful & pleasant. Our family had a great time celebrating birthdays and my son proposed to his future wife and the setting was perfect. The beach house location was perfect and close to shopping and site seeing but yet private with great neighbors. The house has a lot of room with games, bar and air conditioning that is a must for the hot & humid weather we had while there. The price was definitely fair for what you get and the view is second to none. I would certainly stay at the Beach House in Chance Harbor again and have recommended to friends and family looking to visit the area. Sincerely Rob Muise Tumbler Ridge BC, Canada

Great rental

We rented Mark's house for a week in Nova Scotia with extended family. The house was beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed easy beach access. We enjoyed the beach and all the wildflowers. The kids loved it. The house will comfortably fit 3 couples/families and the pullout air mattresses are very comfortable. Thank you for a great week!

Geat Place to spend with family or friends

My wife and I took our two children and their families for a vacation at this magnificent house on the Northumberland Straits. The place was even nicer than the pictures on VRBO. You do need a good map or directions to find as there are similar named roads in the vicinity. We had 9 people and one other visitor for a day. The upper part of the house was extremely spacious. You could seat at least 14 at the dining room table as well as the table on the wrap around porch. Many chairs and chaises available as well as a great Weber BBQ. Very comfortable couches and chairs in the huge living room. Large kitchen with all the amenities. Beach in front was very nice and private. Fires allowed. For GREEN people I will tell you it is heated by Geo=thermal system. Loft for extra people was tight. We would opt to take the whole house next time if we had over 8 people. Would recommend this house for you to rent. It is also only half hour to get the ferry to PEI which we did for a day trip. Shopping for groceries less than half hour away. (watch for numerous deer) This a great family bonding trip. Owners Mark and Tristan very helpful and explained all the workings of the house.

Sand, Sun and Family Fun!

What a beautiful property in a stunning location. In fact the pictures do not do it justice. Our goal was to get our family together from all over Canada in one place. This was certainly the spot to do it. The kids played on the beach every day since it was just steps from the door and the short drive to Melmerby beach was well worth it. We created delicious meals in the spacious gourmet kitchen and ate out on the large deck while watching the sunset. We rented the entire house as there were 11 of us so the sleeping arrangement was a little tricky but we made it work. The owner was very attentive and the property extremely clean and well maintained. It was on the pricier side as far as house rentals go but we would still highly recommend it.

Even more beautiful than the photographs

My husband and I rented this wonderful home (both levels) over the Christmas holidays to be near our families. I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. Even in winter it is absolutely beautiful (the fireplace, the oceanfront view, its coziness despite being a large open concept home all added to our experience). The owners, Mark and Tristan were very helpful from the moment I first contacted them and took the time to meet with us and ensure we had detailed knowledge of the house. The home is fully equipped with everything you will need and is a delight for those who enjoy cooking. A 6 burner cooktop (propane) and 2 ovens made preparing Christmas dinner for 10 a breeze. The house was clean and bright with high quality furnishings, bedding, televisions (including Netflix) and lots of other extras. Despite the winter weather we enjoyed walks on the beach and can only imagine how lovely this setting must be during the summer months. I highly recommend this property to anyone wanting a beachfront holiday (winter or summer) in a luxurious home.

Thank you Darlene and Al. You both left our special place immaculate and we'd be blessed to have you back with us again sometime. You both were so easy to look after and hope you have a happy new year! I was just there Friday night in the blizzard and had a fire going....it was wonderful. Regards Mark (and T)

Chance Harbour Beach House

We were planning a family reunion to meet cousins from Cape Breton. It was important to us to find a large home that could comfortable house our family for the week. Eight of us were traveling from Massachusetts & four from Michigan including my 86 y.o. aunt. We searched the VRBO website for months looking for the perfect home for our trip and we found it at Chance Harbour !!!!! What a beautiful home. So large and spacious with unbelievable craftmanship. There was plenty of room for family gatherings but also areas to slip away on your on for some quiet time. The finishes are very high end and the chefs kitchen was a joy to be in. Many times during the week we had 4 cooks in the kitchen all busy creating their own specialities without any trouble. The space is that big. With an excellent stove top, double ovens, 2 dishwashers an a massive kitchen island for prep space. It is equiped with all the things you need to feed a large group. One day we had visitors and fit 17 people around the diningroom table for dinner without any problem. The family room space was a great place to gather for conversation & relax and the view of the ocean from the wall of windows drew us in so that we didn't want to leave. The sunrises & sunsets are magnificent & could be enjoyed from so many areas of this home including the expanded deck. This deck was also so well though out....it had 2 very large tables with umbrellas and plenty of chairs with comfortable thick cushions that could seat 16 !!!! We spent many hours out there enjoying the views of the beach and each other. Mark & Tristan were so friendly & helpful, making sure we were comfortable in their home. They were readily available by phone or text to answer any questions that we had throughout the week. They also gave us many tips for places to go & must sees in the area. It was the perfect place for a very memorable vacation that we will always remember. I highly recommend this magnificent home for your next vacation you will not be disappointed !!!!!!

Carol, Tom and family: we were so lucky to have your family as guests. You took such great care of our house and all rentals this summer worked out amazing. We tried to create a custom experience with the welcome/check-in and make sure you were looked after. Thank you for the wonderful pictures and please look us up and come visit if you are in the area again. Best regards Mark & Tristan

Fantastic rental on beautiful Chance Harbour Beach

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this gorgeous new home situated on Chance Harbour Beach. The beach is one of NS's most beautiful, and the area is a quiet, family oriented location perfect for relaxing and enjoying all the beach has to offer. We rented the lower level of the home, which features large windows that overlook the beach, a very spacious open kitchen/bar/dining area and living room, nicely furnished bedroom and bathroom. The home is air conditioned and is truly equipped with anything you might need – they really have thought of everything (even a ping pong table!). It is located close to the town of New Glasgow, near a convenience store and a short drive to the scenic town of Pictou, and other beaches in the area. Our hosts were absolutely wonderful and we definitely plan to return in future.

Thank you both for coming. We truly enjoyed getting to know you and hope you will come back to visit or even find a place of your own. We have a special spot here and are glad to share it. I lived in the lower level at the end of the summer during a small storm and loved it! It was so cozy. Look us up next summer!
