We were very happy with our stay here, the host was awesome, the location was excellent. We were only 30 minutes away from all the places we wanted to visit but far enough from all the hustle and bustle, very cosy spot. We could sit out in the evening down by the water!!

Perfect place to stay to explore the south shore! Just a local road between us and the water, the apartment was well thought out and cared for! Our host had thought of everything you might need including toothpaste in the washroom! Would return in a heartbeat!

We are on a long journey - when we tire of hotels we like to grab a VRBO property for a couple of days or so to catch up on laundry, have home cooked meals and stretch out. This basement suite suited us perfectly! Host was wonderful and met us on arrival.

Great place to stay

We really enjoyed our stay in this home. Clean, spacious, comfortable across the street from the water. Great owner to work with. She makes sure your stay has all it needs including bikes for the bike trail right off the back property and kayaks and paddle boards. Wish we had more time to play!! Close drive to Halifax and Peggy’s Cove. Definitely recommend!

Good location

Quiet neighborhood, but conveniently located to Halifax. Property was clean and comfortable. You are required to do separation of your trash, between several different categories of composting and recycling, etc. It’s a small sacrifice, considering the rest of the property.

Great place, great host

This place was exactly as describe, and perfectly located for our trip. The place was clean and comfortable. I really appreciated the homey feel. I was able to make meals for the family and even got a couple loads of laundry done. Plenty of windows for a downstairs suite. The beds were comfortable. The host, Ethel was wonderfull. Very prompt on her emails, very helpful once we got there. I would definitely recommend this place.

The best place ever I had!

These are extremely cozy apartments. The landlady took care of every little detail. Waking up and seeing the ocean from the window is simply incredible! Magical beaches are just nearby. Special thanks to the landlady Ethel. She is an incredibly nice person and can help with any questions. We will definitely recommend this place to everyone acquaintances!

A little piece of Heaven!!!

A wonderful escape from the city! The hospitality was top notch! Clean... spacious and everything we need to have a weekend getaway. Ethel cared for us and provided us with anything we needed. The ocean is across the street so the sound of the waves lulls you to sleep and provides a fun playground during the nice days. This location is close to several beaches and our beautiful South Shore. Us girls will most definitely be having more girl weekends with Ethel and the ocean!

Beyond Expectations

From the location to the host, amenities to cleanliness my friend and I loved our stay. Ethal was so friendly and accommodating. You could see and hear the water right outside your door. We each slept well and had everything we needed. We were able to reach so many must see spots easily, Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg, Mahone's Bay, Halifax, so many parks and beaches and also did the local lobster supper. The drives were beautiful and views incredible. Hope to return with my family!

Wonderful "Little Piece of Heaven"!

Beautiful bright clean! Wonderful host! Beautiful setting! Of the 4 HomeAways we stayed at this was by far the best! Located very close to Peggy's Cove (30 min) . Host has kayaks avaliable for use. Badminton, bikes, with 35 k trail behind the house and so much more. Everything you need while away, she has! So many beaches near by! I can't say enough wonderful things about the host. She is such a happy bubby person and so approachable. The only negative was having to leave. This truly is a little piece of heaven!

Nous avons apprécié énormément notre séjour d’une semaine à cette magnifique maison. L’espace louée était un sous-sol mais c’est très bien éclairée avec la lumière de l’extérieur car il y a plusieurs grosses fenêtres. C’est une belle place face a l’eau. L’endroit est également très bien équipé pour des voyageurs, il y a même des jouets pour jouer dehors avec les enfants! La maison était très propre et accueillante. C’est un endroit que je re-louerait sans hésiter.
