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.

seaside convenience

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.

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.

well located for south shore stay

This rental provides a private, well located place for a short term visit. Access to the unit is by stairs to the back of the main house located on a hill with a lovely water view. The kitchen facilities are somewhat limited but adequate, especially for those out sightseeing most of the time. Aside from noise from those living upstairs over the unit, it is a very comfortable place to stay.
