Wonderful place for a family vacation

We spent two weeks here in July. It is ideally located for trips into Halifax, Lunenburg, Mahone Bay and Chester. Also close to the excellent Rumrunners trail for biking and running. This is easily the best Vrbo house we have stayed at- beautifully decorated and stocked with every item you could think of from olive oil to bandaids, and the owner is very helpful and responsive.

Perfect house

The weather was not wonderful but the house was perfect. It had everything we needed and the Wii and Netflix were both a lifesaver with 3 teenagers. I highly recommend this house to anyone wanting to visit this part of Nova Scotia.

Women on the Move

Very much enjoyed our stay, well equipped home,my only suggestion would be on the steep steps going up stairs to add gripping runners for safety,we are an active group of 83 year olds into hiking and biking but two mentioned how slippery the steps were with our stocking feet. Thanks again great stay! Sharon

This house is a gem!!

The house is spotlessly clean, very welcoming and most accommodating. Andrew and Janine provide you with a beautiful home that is well equipped for a wonderful stay. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked with everything you may need. From this convenient location we were able to explore Peggy's Cove. Lunenburg, Halifax and much more. Communication and checkin could not have been easier. I would highly recommend this property to anyone interested in staying in this area.

Summer house by the sea

Beautiful home on a large private lot. Kitchen well stocked with condiments. You need only bring your main meal items. Firepit with sufficient seating. Barbecue. Outdoor seating in front and back of house. Is within relatively short driving distances of swimming beaches (30 mins plus or minus). Worth a drive to Mahone Bay and Lunenberg to sightsee or enjoy a restaurant meal. Would return.

Beautiful house & beautiful spot

I was extremely impressed with the cleanliness of the property; the lovely & functional decor; all of the basics for food preparation, including tons of spices; flour; baking powder etc. which made it easy to bake & cook; There was only one important drawback - it was at least a 30 minute drive to purchase groceries. Also, as we are all seniors, the steep stairways to the second floor (where all the bedrooms are) was a bit difficult to manage at times, especially for one of us that had a recent leg injury. Overall, I would recommend this property to future renters.

Stunning Location- Superb Host

Honestly Andrew saved our vacation. We rolled into Halifax during Hurricane Lee, and the ferry to our accommodation was not running. We booked this place two days before our arrival. Andrew let us check in early and use his generator as their was no power. We were in constant communication during the storm even though he was in Italy! This place is a real treasure. I will definitely be coming back. So easy for day trip, beautiful area for exploring. I ran everyday on the road to gorgeous scenery. Truly unreal experience and jt blew our friends minds. They had never been to the east coast. It was amazing! Thank You Andrew for helping us make memories!

Beautiful home in a beautiful location

We loved our stay. The house was even better than in the pictures. It is beautifully decorated, yet welcoming and comfortable. There is a ton of space inside and outside. The furniture on the front porch is comfortable and we spent a lot of time taking in the view. The bedrooms were all a great size and the beds were very comfortable. There was a constant cool breeze coming off the water and fans provided in each room. Even during a heat advisory, the house remained cool and comfortable. The kitchen is the best stocked kitchen I have encountered in a rental. The owners have thought of everything. We cooked most meals at the house and I had everything I needed. There is a great guest book that introduces you to the house and local area. Make sure to head to The Deck for ice cream! The house is in a perfect location for exploring the area with points of interest within a reasonable driving distance in all directions. Andrew was great at communicating before and during our stay. I would highly recommend this home and would happily stay there again if we are ever back in the area.

Très beau séjour

Très belle propriété, idéale pour deux familles. Tout le monde y trouve son espace. La maison est bien située, entre Lunenburg, Peggy’s Cove et Halifax. Également à environ 1h des vignobles de la Vallée d’Annapolis. Il n’y pas tellement de plage de galets à l’avant de la propriété permettant de profiter de l’eau, bien qu’une merveilleuse plage se trouve à Bayswater, à quelques minutes seulement en voitures. Les nombreuses attentions du propriétaires ont été appréciées (chasse-moustiques, parapluies, épices et condiments, savon à linge, shampoing et revitalisant, savon, savon à vaisselle, casse-têtes, netflix, etc.). Nous avons adoré ! Merci Andrew pour votre belle hospitalité !

Vacation stay in Nova Scotia

The house was exactly as the pictures. Very clean and tidy inside, nicely furnished and a good supply of essentials. The Welcome binder was very helpful. The owner was very friendly in communications and responded quickly. He also provided good suggestions on places to eat & golf. Note that the nearby restaurant "The Deck" is closed for renovations however there are lovely places to eat in nearby Chester (The Foc'sle) and in Hubbards (Tuna Blue Restaurant). Overall, a lovely vacation with many happy memories!

This is the perfect place to stay. So clean and comfortable. Andrew has anticipated every need. We’d think of something we’d like to have and it would be right there. This was the nicest area; a quick drive to Mahone Bay and Lunenburg. I’ll be telling all my friends in Ontario to stay here.

This cottage is well kept, and made us feel right at home. We celebrated the new year together as a group of friend and Andrew so kindly left a bottle of champagne for us! Little touches like that really made our trip perfect. Would recommend to anyone!
