What a wonderful place to start our holiday. After the busyness of everyday life and travel, this home gave us the chance to truly slow down and unwind. The beautiful ocean view and peaceful ocean sounds, cozy sheets, and fireplace created such a calming atmosphere. The home was fully stocked with everything we needed, (even coffee)and the location made it easy to explore the nearby sights. We feel very lucky to have found this property and would happily stay again.

Thank you so much Suzanne for staying with us, we greatly appreciate it ! WOW .... I have to say how lucky you were to see those whales ! If your ever in the area again please keep us in mind as for sure you need to experience East Coast Outfitters kayaking tours. Its one of my absolute favorite things to do near the cottage.

Cutest little cottage on a quiet and idyllic part of the coast. A small place, definitely best suited to two or three guests. The host was responsive and helpful with any questions we had, and full of local knowledge and tips. If you like solitude and the sound of waves and seabirds, this is the place for you.

If you are looking for peace and serenity, this is the place to be! Richard’s home is beautiful, and has everything you need for a wonderful stay. The view can’t be beat; we loved watching the seals in the bay, watching the sun rise, and we very much enjoyed the quiet. Richard was a great host - very responsive, and made sure we had a great time. We would highly recommend!

Maritime marvel.

Thanks Richie!We had a fantastic time, you have a dream vacation destination. My Mom was born in Halifax in 1933 and my entire life she talked about the sites and experiences she lived as a child. Seeing George Island and Peggy’s Cove was a bucket list dream come true .Thanks,Paul
