The best place we’ve ever been.So nice and clean.Inside the house you can find anything you need.The view is amazing!So lovely host.We are second time here and next year will definitely come back !
The Beach House hosted by Ethel is truly an amazing gem. The apartment is decorated with a beach vibe and has everything you will need. Ethel is so down to earth and accommodating which truly reflects the people of Nova Scotia. Would highly recommend!Thank you Ethel.
There were many positives staying at our accommodation. First it is very cozy but great use of space so it roomy. Second very clean and well supplied with essentials. It area was quiet with a very nice outside yard and a beautiful view. Our host Ethel was always available and quick with her responses. It would our pleasure and desire to return to her unit if we come back to the area.
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!
Beautiful stay in Black point! Conveniently located to many destinations. Clean apartment with all the amenities you would need. Owner was super accommodating and friendly!! Loved our stay and how close to the ocean it was. Definitely want to go back someday!
Ethel's suite is fantastic. The bed is comfortable, the unit and kitchen is equipped with everything you will need to have a wonderful stay. It is conveniently situated between Halifax and Peggy's Cove to the North and Lunenberg to the south. I highly recommend it for couples and families
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.
We were warmly greeted by the host and this property have everything you need and more. The layout is perfect for a accommodating the entire family. The area has many attractions close by. A great place to enjoy time in Halifax and all along the South Shore.
Beautiful beach house. Amazing view and great location. Good size for our family of five. Hostess Ethel made the check-in process easy. Laundry services were very much appreciated.
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!
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.
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.
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!
