About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private Island, Ocean Front, Aspotogan Peninsula, South Shore Nova Scotia

Immerse yourself in the tranquillity of your private four-bedroom house perched by the ocean's edge. As the eastern-facing side of the house greets the ocean, you'll witness breathtaking sunrises accompanying your morning coffee or refreshing mojito on the deck.

From the deck, gaze across the sprawling lawn, where the magnificent St. Margarets Bay unfolds before your eyes. On the horizon, the picturesque Shut-in Island and Hacketts Cove create a mesmerizing backdrop.

With just eight properties on the island, solitude, seclusion, and privacy are yours to embrace, ensuring an uninterrupted escape from the world.

Please note that if you plan to extend your stay beyond 27 days, kindly inquire about the specific regulations in my province, as regulations change after 28 days.

To maintain a harmonious environment, I request that all guests respect my policy regarding unregistered visitors.

When booking, the guest numbers must include every person in your group. To clarify, a baby is a person, a toddler is a person, and a child is a person. If the person is over two years of age, I charge an extra guest fee of $47 per/night.

Bringing unregistered guests, even for the day, can lead to unnecessary complications, an unpleasant experience, additional fees, or, in all likelihood, immediate booking cancellation without a refund. As I reside across the road, attempts to circumvent this policy are futile—honesty is always appreciated.

For everyone's peace of mind, I conduct a comprehensive video recording of the entire property, inside and out, before your check-in. This time-stamped footage safeguards both guests and the owner in the unlikely event of any damages.

Lastly, please be aware that the government mandates that you include the HST tax in your stay. We apologize for any inconvenience this requirement causes.

Don't worry, you will have a spectacular time here. If you have any questions, you can call or text me at (902)452-5469, email me at theredroof@kiwiblast.com or visit https://holidaynovascotia.com/redroof

Paid amenities - laundry service ($10 a load) and high-speed wifi ($10 per day).

Trust me, you will discover Tranquility and Natural Beauty at The Red Roof; it is the Perfect Getaway in Nova Scotia.

Work retreat
We had such a great time here in 2021 on a work retreat that we came back in 2024. The cottage was great and secluded. The small beach down the road is wonderful and the sunrises are unforgettable!

Wonderful place in the middle of Nature
We had a great stay in a wonderful location on an island. When you go there the trip is already a great adventure. The view and the surrounding is spectacular. The house is very nice and have everything you need. The host really takes care and it feels like a huge welcome to Canada!

Amazing Location
This property has the most amazing view. Phil was delightful and kindly started the firepit for us each night. The house was super clean and as advertised. This place is really off the beaten path down a gravel private drive and over a wooden bridge. We had no problems traversing the driveway to get to the house. There is a grocery store, liqour store and restaurants within15 km. Great stay. The quiet locationwas so woth it. There are st

Idyllic cottage on the shore
Bring your groceries and leave your worries behind. This out-of-the-way vacation cottage is a great place to settle in and watch the waves. We spotted seals, eagles and fishing boats gliding past. The road onto the island, with it's twists, turns and one-lane bridge, adds to the charm. The property provides a sense of isolation but neighbours are nearby if needed. The owner is super-friendly and was reachable throughout our stay. The cottage is well-equipped and quickly feels like home. The fireplace cannot be beat on a chilly fall evening and easily made up for the lack of a TV. Cell coverage was good for us throughout our stay. A couple of things to note in the description: There are two bathrooms but only the downstairs one has a shower. The laundry in the cottage is not for guest use, though laundry service is available. We would definitely come here again.

Perfection
This property is exactly as described and much more. The location is remote, quiet, and an amazing view. Perfect for seeing the sunrise and disconnecting from your normal day today. It was also very clean. Phil was incredibly responsive, helpful and a wonderful host. I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a place that is off the beaten path.

Wonderful property with fantastic views
This is a beautiful house in a gorgeous location. My granddaughter and I loved the views of the cove and the bay, and the location is great for day trips to other areas of south-central Nova Scotia. We were delighted to have a visitor one morning while having breakfast: a seal appeared in the cove, directly in front of the house, and we watched it for nearly an hour. Along with the various sea birds, and the beautiful views all around, we simply loved the place. It is very comfortable, peaceful, and secluded. Phil is an excellent host, ready with recommendations for restaurants and helpful advice. Red Roof is an outstanding place for a getaway vacation in Nova Scotia.

Picture Perfect
If you like going off the beaten path and taking the road less travelled…then this is absolutely the sanctuary you are looking for! A private cove with no neighbours to speak of this place is perfect to escape the frenetic pace of the world. It is perfectly situated to easily get to places like Halifax, Peggy’s cove, Lunenburg and mahone Bay. The house is well cared for and very clean, the kitchen is decently outfitted. The host met us promptly and gave us all kinds of tips for the area and showed us around. He was quick to answer text questions and super helpful. Thanks for a wonderful place to stay!

The cottage is exactly as described in the pictures. Very clean and spacious for a family of four to play board games, read a book, or just relax watching the waves crashing on the shore. Phil was very responsive before and during the stay and love to come again on our next vacation in Nova Scotia.

Astounding!
So restful and an astoundingly gorgeous location. Couldn't be happier with the stay, the house, the area, and Phil gave such good advice! We had a glitch with the stove (our problem, not the stove) and he popped over to straighten us out in a flash. Finding the place in the dark was a bit of a challenge; if you have cell coverage, it should be fine. Otherwise, it is wise to examine a map very carefully before you set off (in the dark).

If you need to unplug, stare at the ocean and recharge your battery in front of a crackling fire- look no further than the Red Roof to take a time out. You couldn’t ask for better hosts!! We can’t wait to go back and miss it already.
