House was clean and comfortable. Lots of space for 2 couples. Easy walk to Margetsville Beach. WiFi was not working which may be an overall rural area issue. There were lots of games to play and a nice outside sitting area.

We are familiar with the area returning here all our lives. This day encapsulated everything we love about coming home to the Annapolis Valley! A terrific stay which helped add to the feeling of coming home to our families reunion here. I’m planning to come back again and hopeful that this home will be available for us then as well!

We had a lovely five-day stay at Kinsea House this October. Leslie's house is comfortable, quiet and very well equipped, with lovely views of the bay. It was a wonderful place to sit with a cup of tea and look out over the water. We were treated to the most agreeable autumn weather and enjoyed our morning strolls down to the nearby shore.The house was immaculate, with comfortable beds and plenty of room for the two of us and our adult daughter. Leslie was excellent to deal with, always clear and prompt in her communications. Check-in was easy, as was check-out. All in all, a very enjoyable stay.

We had a lovely week at the Kinsea House. Its a very well appointed home, spacious, clean and comfortable. A full kitchen - Everything we needed was there, including a nice BBQ. Lovely deck with a view of the ocean. A short walk to the beach. The listing is very accurate and the host is very helpful. And it is pet friendly. We enjoyed the area - it offers great cycling and golfing. Spent a day in Annapolis Royal and toured the fort and the gardens and had a nice dinner at the Crow's nest. Check out the Greenwood military aviation museum - very interesting museum. Overall we highly recommend the Kinsea House.

Convenient and quiet location to Bay of Fundy - a car is required for sure. Place was clean although smelt a bit musty and needed airing out. Good size dining space allowed for a family visit and dinner. Did not spend a lot of time at the property as we were visiting family but the time we did was relaxing.

Felt like home

We only stayed for two nights but felt so comfortable, and our 5- and 2-year-olds liked this place most of all the places we stayed in Nova Scotia! Little amenities like a couple pantry goods and a great local guidebook were game-changers for our stay on the north shore. We loved the quiet cottage community and lovely walk down to the lighthouse and rock beach.

Elaine, Just loved hearing about your stay and that the kids enjoyed themselves. That brings me joy as it reminds me of the times spent here in the summer with our own young children. Glad you enjoyed the pantry items and our spin on local treasure spots and destinations in our guidebook over the years. Thank you for staying at Kinsea House

Margaretsville is Perfect for a Relaxing Getaway

Kinsea House was the perfect getaway spot while visiting Nova Scotia for a wedding. We loved exploring the short walk to visit the Margaretsville lighthouse, the pier, the art gallery and the incredible waterfall down the beach! The main living area in the house itself was great for relaxing. Being able to see the Bay of Fundy from the windows was also a plus. The place was clean upon arrival and having a washer and dryer was super helpful.

If you are looking for a quiet haven to call home while on vacation, this is the place. Internet signal not great, not a lot of channels but we did not travel to NS to stay in and watch TV! Beautiful scenery, country quiet, close to many amenities, we absolutely loved our time at Kinsea House ❤️

Seaside delight

Beautiful home overlooking the Bay of Fundy! The Kinsey house has everything you could need for a great week away from home. Very friendly people at the wharf. Local artist painted a rock I found on the beach of the Margaretville lighthouse! We lived our stay ! Only drawback was that we were farther from family then we anticipated so lots of driving. Thank you Leslie for sharing your beautiful home.

Kinsea cottage

We were there for 3 days, a family with 5 kids, and had a great time. The house has a lot of room and everything we need. The crib came in handy. The harbour and lighthouse is a 2 minute walk away. You can see the bay from the house and watch the fog coming in. The weather was warm and dry, so we didn't stay inside too much and even did most of the cooking over the firepit.

A spot of heaven on earth!

The house was wonderful! Very comfortable, lovely remodeling that still retained the charm of an older home, and an INCREDIBLE setting. Just a few steps from the front door, you can watch the tides swing in the Bay of Fundy. Sitting on the front deck, reading my book and looking out at the quiet loveliness around me -- pure bliss. Margaretsville was a good spot from which to head south to the Digby area, and on another day, head north to the Grand Pre/Wolfville area. Such peaceful, idyllic countryside made driving to the different sights a real pleasure.

Thank you for the feedback. A few of the windows are still original to the home and we are in the process of replacing them. Unfortunately the BBQ had an untimely repair need which we apologize for.

A quaint cottage in a nice Fundy-side town

My wife and I were traveling to see family in the Kingston NS area and found this historic cottage to be a nice place to use as our home base. The large main room has great peekaboo views of the Bay from the nice living room. The kitchen, though rustic, had all we needed and the modest grill on the deck did the trick the one night when we hosted my mom, brother and sister-in-law. We slept in the comfortable bed in what must have been the dining room at one point. There are 2 other bedrooms upstairs, but the one on the main floor has what felt like a memory foam mattress. A minor quibble is that the fitted sheet on our bed was clearly worn out and just would not stay on. We enjoyed our 5 day stay at Kinsea Cottage.
