Adorable seaside cottage!

We had a wonderful time at this beautifully decorated little gem- it was the highlight of our Canadian vacation! The bedrooms and living areas were super comfortable and super charming, and the location couldn't have been better. How fun to start each day with coffee on the deck overlooking the cove, or a walk to the lighthouse and back. Would definitely stay here again!

We booked a 4 night stay in this quaint cottage in Peggy's Cove.The booking and check-in process was smooth and communication with the host was excellent. The cottage is beautiful and located in the heart of the village of Peggy's Cove. The kitchen is well appointed and great for cooking any meal. Living room is comfortable and the cottage has a large dining area. The bedrooms are large enough to comfortably sleep 5 people in total. The bed in the master bedroom is incredibly comfortable.You'll be located at the head of the cove and easily within minutes walking distance to all the galleries, museums, gift shops, and restaurants Peggy's Cove has to offer (including the Sou'Wester).We would definitely rent this cottage on future vacations!

Comfort with spectacular views

Claire was a wonderful host. The house was so cosy with all the things you need to cook yourself. Loved walking down the hill and getting a fresh cooked lobster to bring back for dinner.

Fabulous!

We loved Peggy's Cove Cottage. Fabulous views of the Cove, a great coffee shop for our morning brew and wonderful hiking nearby. Claire was friendly and helpful, and the whole community felt very welcoming. Loved the open fire for the chilly nights and the grill for delish steaks! Am missing waking up to the seagulls here in Manhattan.

Peaceful retreat

I've experienced many VRBO properties throughout the years but none with the personality of this one. The home itself, the wonderful community and of course, the lighthouse all contribute to a sense of ease and an ability to disconnect, decompress and just enjoy the surroundings. Everything you need is in the house -it's immaculately kept and the owner is a wealth of local knowledge and very pleasant to talk to. I'd happily return again if the opportunity presented itself and if you're considering coming, I'm sure you'll be just as pleased as I was.

The Perfect Relaxation

What a wonderful vacation! Once we finally arrived in Peggy's Cove, we immediately felt so much more relaxed. The cottage is simply perfect. The views are just incredible! Every morning we walked over to the coffee shop to chat and get our cups of coffee. We enjoyed walking around the village and also just sitting on the porch watching the "tourists". :) Claire was a real pleasure to deal with. She was so accommodating, helpful, and friendly. This was really everything we needed from our vacation. I can heartily recommend this cottage!

Wir hatten fantastische Urlaubstage in diesem wunderschönen Cottage. Die Kommunikation mit Claire hat von Anfang an sehr gut funktioniert. Im Haus war alles wie beschrieben vorhanden und unsere Kinder mochten den großen Kühlschrank. Auf der Terrasse zu sitzen und das Kommen und gehen der Touristenströme zu sehen, war besser als TV!Wir haben sehr gut geschlafen und würden hier definitiv wieder buchen. Absolute Empfehlung. Vielen Dank, Claire !

Simply Beautiful

My parents and I spent 4 nights at this idyllic seaside home on our Nova Scotia visit.The exterior, WOW, you would find a hilltop home like this in a fairy tale book. The location is perfect, at the back of the village in an elevated spot overlooking the small harbour with a view of the top of the famous lighthouse. At night the red glow of the light is easily seen from all windows.The home is on green land with many beautiful plants and a multitude of bird species serenade you as you enjoy the deck watching the boats in the harbour.Want to walk to the lighthouse? It's barely five minutes from your backdoor - Hot Tip - go before 8am and you'll have the lighthouse to yourself for the best photographs without a tourist in sight - bar yourself that is!!Inside a respectfully decorated, cosy home, in keeping with the area and its history. Comfortable beds with nice linens, plenty of towels and everything you could want from your home from homes. Tip, bring Keurig Cups for the coffee maker and you're good to go!Minor point, suggestion, keep a couple of windows open as the fresh air makes the inside feel fresh and relaxed.There are a handful of food options within a few minutes walk, as long as seafood is your thing. Another tip, less than an hour away we found a pub in Mahone Bay called the Mug and Anchor which we loved and returned to again!Peggys Cove is stunning in its own right , but also an excellent base to explore the area. We ventured as far as Keji Harbour Rocks!
