About this property
The Nest | Oceanfront Cottage on Nova Scotia’s Wild Ocean Coast | Deck & Stars
The house is nestled on a 4.5-hectare coastal property overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and a small natural pond.
Set on slightly elevated land, the uniquely designed home is surrounded by a large wrap-around wooden deck that opens to expansive views of the landscape and the ocean beyond.
The wide horizon, the surrounding nature and the gentle sound of the waves create a sense of calm almost instantly — a place where everyday life fades away and true relaxation begins.

Great home base for local work
The cottage was the perfect place for our small team to set up a 'home base' while working in the area. The location was perfect, the cottage was clean and well kept. The host was great, very responsive, and even checked in on us during a passing tropical storm to ensure everything was ok. I would highly recommend!
