This is a quality property with spectacular views and outstanding natural light. The layout is a bit unusual. The primary suite is on the top level with a connected bathroom. It's the only bathroom for the three bedrooms on that level. The kitchen is very well equipped, especially for cooking your lobster dinner! Take time to traverse the path down to the lookout over St. Margaret's Bay for breathtaking views. We would definitely rent this property again.

Our group had a great time. House is lovely and the views are stunning. Unfortunately we arrived a day after the floods and many roads were destroyed which impacted some of our plans. Non the less, looking out at the scenery was beautiful.

A little out-of-the-way retreat is just what we needed--plenty of room for 7 people and well-appointed kitchen. Highly recommend.

The last time we were in this home, it was for our wedding pre-covid. The location and property were great then - and have stayed great. For our first escape from BC since Covid it was a wonderful time. The owner was immediately responsive when one window wouldn't close. We enjoyed the glorious views and loved the local restaurants. Lobster was frequently on the menu at the house as it's minutes from Ryers Lobsters, and growing up in NS Peggy's Cove was one of my most loved places and still is. Highly recommended home. We were thrilled that one of our wedding wine glasses was still in the cupboard, and we enjoyed using it and seeing that others had before us - Conrad and Kelly

This is the most amazing house to stay at! This is a house of glass and every window has a stunning view. The house sits up on a knoll and overlooks the inlet. You have two neighbors which you can not see or hear. There is a trail down to the water where you can explore the rocks or sit and take in the view. We traveled to Nova Scotia for my mom’s 80th birthday and family reunion. The house easily fit all of us and everyone was comfortable. You are 21 miles from Peggy’s Cove, 30 minutes from Halifax, and 45 minutes to a great beach. It was a trip of a lifetime in Nova Scotia making precious memories with family. How can you beat that. Thanks for giving us incredible memories at your house.

Beautiful views
Beautiful property and lots of rooms for everyone to get a great night sleep. The description shows that there is a fireplace however guests are not allowed to use it so keep that in mind if that is on your must have list.

We had a wonderful time with friends. Great ocean view. Kitchen and bedrooms were very nice. Kitchen is well equipped. The only thing I would probably say is to take more toilet paper with you if you have 10 people. We were not allowed to use fireplace but were fine with that. Living room could update furniture to seat 10 more easily. Overall fantastic stay and you won’t be disappointed.

A needed break!
Four couples (all friends) needed a break away and so we rented this wonderful home for the weekend. A pot luck supper Friday night and night out at the Rhubarb Sat made for a relaxing and enjoyable time. Visited the new viewing deck at Peggy's Cove as well. This home has breath taking views, beautifully furnished and a well equipped kitchen. A must RETURN TO PLACE!

We spent a week enjoying stunning sunrises and enjoyable excursions during the days. We were able to visit Peggy’s Cove, Queensland beach, Chester, Mahone Bay, Lunenburg, hiked Split Cove, and Halifax proper. The house is as stunning as the pictures online. We are already planning our next visit!

Our party of 3 couples was blown away by the unique architecture of the home and the stunning views from the floor to ceiling windows. With full bedrooms and baths on each of the three levels, we all had privacy while still having the opportunity to be together. The home is a close drive to Rhubarb restaurant, which we enjoyed on our second night there. The kitchen is very well stocked with spices and cooking products and we enjoyed making a number of meals there. The only challenge we experienced was trying to use the television. In the end it didn't really matter because we didn't really want to watch television anyways, but the directions could be clearer. We all took turns following them to a T but we couldn't get the channels to come up.
All in all it was a fabulous get-away in Covid times.

4.0
Everything about our stay was fabulous, the views, the comfortable sleeping accommodations and the house was stocked with everything you could possibly need. There were no blackout shades or window dressings in any of the bedrooms which meant at 5-6am you are wide awake with little to chance of getting back to sleep and there were no blinds or privacy window dressings in the bathrooms and the main floor bathroom looks straight into the driveway. The other issue we had was that no one could get on the wifi which was a definite inconvenience. Overall our stay was great and although the things above were bothersome, we would still rate this beautiful home a strong 4.5 to 5 in star ratings.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home. Amazing views from every window, truly an unbelievable location! We stayed for just a winter weekend but wished we’d had a longer stay. Super well stocked kitchen made cooking very easy. Loved the foosball table! Thank you!

Scenic getaway
This is a truly unique property located in a breathtakingly beautiful location. It’s very much away from the bustle but an easy drive to Halifax. Our visits included Pollys Cove (10 minutes), Peggys Cove (15 minutes), and Lunenburg (1.5 hours). Just poking along the shoreline is a satisfying day trip in and of itself. This was a super place to stay - we left with many great experiences and fond memories.

This is the second time my family has stayed at this accommodation. Was a wonderful stay this second time amount. Check in happened a bit late, but other than that it was super clean, well appointed and with all the amenities. Will definitely be staying here again some time in the future.

Great Place for family reunions
Beautiful property overlooking the ocean. Many things to do in the area. No groceries or gasoline nearby so stock up before arriving. So peaceful and such a well appointed place. It was perfect for our reunion with our kids and their families. All 10 of us were very comfortable there.

The property was all we wished for and more
However We had two issues - it was unseasonably cold so we had a problem in the evening keeping warm not being able to use the fire meant the Grandchildren went to bed cold.
We feel strongly that there should be a covered BBQ area away from the house but as an option to cooking up in a garage

Great stay
This place was everything as advertised, lots of space, everything you need is there so no need for going into the city. Great views when there is no fog. The owner, Stephen, made sure everything was as we needed before we arrived and was very gracious. Would definitely stay there again.

"Jordan Girls 5 star Vacation"
Mom & daughters (59 & 49) enjoyed a wonderful vacation making memories ! The break from the Florida heat was welcomed. Arriving we ate at Shaw's then on to our VRBO. Our GPS took us right to the door ! Woke to a beautiful sun rise and my older daughter seeing a mother deer and her baby right out side her bedroom window. At 79 years of age, you want to build pleasant memories that your children will enjoy long after your gone ! This beautiful home, view, places to visit certainly supplied everything I had hoped for! Thank you so very much for assisting me in meeting my "goal"!

Spectacular in many, many ways.
Not that I or my family are world travellers, but this exceeds anything we've ever experienced. The home is spectacular. Equally impressive are the panoramic views from the wrap around deck... breathtaking really. (We booked the Thanksgiving weekend, and of course all the trees and bushes were turning into the fall colours.)
This incredible home had everything you would ever need...fully equipped kitchen with plenty of cooking utencils and all the modern appliances. Very clean from top to bottom. Beds were comfortable. The Rec Room was well received by our whole crew.
The pictures provided are certainly representative of the home itself, but, they do not capture the actual beauty of the views.
If you decide to go, bring your binoculars...step out on the deck and be mesmorized.
We will look to rebook for next year, as well.

Amazing Week
What a lovely place to spend your time in Nova Scotia. This was home base for many drives along the south shore, east shore, west to the bay and into Halifax. We enjoyed the view constantly. The house was comfortable and well equip for whatever we needed. Enjoy being in a beautiful part of this gorgeous province.

Wonderful Vacation Home!
This was the first vacation that my family (brother, sister, niece and nephews) have taken together. Some of us looked forward to our return to Nova Scotia and others looked forward to their first visit. We searched for a long time trying to find the right place to make this a special vacation. We found it! This house is beautiful! It has the perfect view of the ocean, is well-appointed, and was perfect for our family of 11. The house was everything we hoped that it would be and more! The private location was very nice, but not that far to shopping, kayaking, Peggy's Cove, Halifax, restaurants, etc. Each day started with breakfast at the house, site seeing during the day, and at the end of the day, we all looked forward to our return to the house. My family and I have a lot of good memories from our trip and our time at this house is a big part of our wonderful memories.

Wonderful home with amazing views!
This is a large home with stunning views. Extremely clean and well maintained. Fully stocked kitchen. The only down side is that it’s a bit remote and about 40 minutes from Halifax. Also, while you are ocean front, there is no access to beach on the property. Just steep cliffs. There is no air conditioning but the sea breezes make it comfortable.

5 star view
We enjoyed the house very much. The pictures and descriptions were accurate. Only annoyances we encountered were upstairs bedrooms lack of window shades and a frequent clicking noise which the owner told us was an air cleaner that kicks on automatically. The house has everything for a great family vacation. A full kitchen with plates/tools and lots of space.
We had 2 of the best family dinners ever at the house, cooking fresh lobsters we got at Ryer's (just past Peggy's Cove), and eating them on the back deck as the sun set with that view.
Some other local favorites we found… Restaurants: Shaw's Landing close by casual and Rhubarb for something fancier further past Peggy's Cove. Btw Peggy's Cove was so crowded every day! But we loved the swim and exploring the tidal pools of Clam Pond (behind the visitor center parking lot).
We used the fire pit one night (you have to check a web site if its OK to burn that day). The house has a nice path down to the water. At the edge its big steep rocks but with some agility the kids made there way down to fish.
Enjoying the deck and view made the whole vacation. 5 stars. Thank you for letting us enjoy your house for the week.

Beautiful view from the house, excellent accommodations amd close to sites
We rented this house for a family vacation. We couldn't have asked for anything better. There were eleven of us and we never felt like we were on top of each other. The house was well equipped and the beds were so comfortable. The kids loved exploring the property. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting to visit the Halifax area.
