Welcoming and quiet, it was a perfect vacation home for us. It was our second visit, and we were so pleased to return to this beautiful corner of St. Margaret’s Bay. Chris, along with his family, are great hosts and we look forward to another visit in the future. Thanks for everything!
The entrance to the one bedroom suite is at the rear of the home. As soon as you walk to the entrance, you see a canopy with two chairs, looking out on the beautiful cove as the end of Saint Margaret’s Bay. Location in Tantelon is perfect for reaching both Peggy‘s Cove and Hubbard’s Cove (we did not know this when we booked, but it turns out to be a perfect location.) the week gets plenty of sunlight and both the main room and bedroom overlook the water. The hosts, Chris and Stephanie couldn’t be nicer. Happy hour at tuna blue in Hubbard Cove is a treat and Shaws landing was great for lobster dinner. If you happen to be a Freedom Boat Club member there is location less than five minutes from the house. We stayed five nights and were sad to go.
This rental was everything we hoped for. The location was perfect, amazing views and very confortable. The spa was great and we could swim for the deck.

Hello, thanks for the great review . It was so nice to meet you guys and your well behaved puppy . We are are so glad that we could be part of your east coast adventure! Happy trails .
Exactly as described. Very friendly and accommodating hosts, great location, beautiful view, nice yard (Oceanside) and shopping nearby. Highly recommended.
Beautiful views of St. Margaret's Bay, with private outdoor terrace, in a quiet, wooded neighborhood. The apartment was well-furnished and equipped for two people, convenient to nearby stores, coffee shops and seaside attractions. Helpful live-in hosts and clear directions made the stay easy.
The property is beautiful and in an amazing location! Relaxing in the hot tub overlooking the ocean after a long day on the go was perfect. The house is very nicely done and very clean.
The property owners were very nice and helpful. I highly recommend this property and would not hesitate to stay there again on a future trip.
We had an amazing time in this beautiful and peaceful place located right by the ocean. The apartment is very well equipped with wonderful outdoor area, comfortable sitting, fire pit, jacuzzi and hammock. Very nice host and their sweet dog. We highly recommend it.

Chris has a beautiful place just outside of Tantallon! Both the sofa bed and bedroom could use new mattress as well as blinds for the living room windows but other than that our stay was fantastic. The view of the bay was spectacular, it was nice to soak in the hot tub each night.
Modern and nicely decorated suite with lovely deck, bbq, hammock and hot tub. Overlooking a dock in a quiet cove. Missed having laundry facilities. Really pleased with our stay.
Wonderful area for biking, hiking and water sports. Great apartment right on water with a beautiful patio. Highly recommended. Stunning area, so beautiful.

Quiet and clean. Great views and well maintained. Rug in living room is curling up and should be replaced as it can be a tripping hazard.
We really enjoyed our week, so peaceful and relaxing. View is amazing and especially liked the covered seating area on the deck, great for sitting out anytime of the day. Unit is very bright, clean and had everything we needed. Hosts are very friendly and accommodating, responding very quickly to any questions we had. Hoping to have a return stay!
Beautiful& private with large outdoor area overlooking Margaret’s Bay - paradise.
Watching the tide rise & fall - complete with blue herons & the family dog Macey - simplely wonderful - thank u Chris & Stephanie

Hello , It was so nice to meet you guys and play a little part in your special vacation. We have met so many nice people since we have decided to share our little piece of paradise , our only regret is not doing it years ago . Happy trails .... Chris & Stephanie.
The owners were great, if we had any issues they were quick to deal with it. Loved their friendly dog. Great location. Kayaks and hot tub was a bonus. Our only concern was owners live right above the rental and it was a bit loud at times.
