We were absolutely delighted with the accommodation and surrounding area. This was our first direct booking of a VRBO holiday, having previously shared holiday rentals with family, who already live in Canada, so weren’t too sure of how it all works. I have to say the hosts Dom and Rachel were brilliant. Even though they were on vacation themselves at the time they were always on hand to answer any questions.As regards the actual accommodation: The views from the wrap around deck are so beautiful, the harbour just a short distance away and the locals so friendly. The kitchen and dining area had everything you might need to self-cater, lots of games, water dispenser, dishwasher, basically very homely. We could only spend four days there but wish we had more time. We would certainly, consider staying at Captain Jack’s Hideaway again, hopefully soon.

Hosts Rachael and Dom (and Capt Jack!) were amazing. Friendly, attentive, accessible nd helpful. They gave us great tips for nearby hikes and we saw whales near the Chobucto Lighthouse at Duncan's Cove. The apartment was spotless and very comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Beautiful view of the harbor!

Extremely clean and will kept accommodations. Very nice view of the harbor from our deck, which was directly across the street from a fishing and swimming dock - fun in the early evening. Hosts were very enjoyable. The place deserves its 10 rating.

Excellent owners, just the right amount of communication...very private surroundings, excellent views, very close to Halifax and anything one would need - Beaches exactly as advertised, one of the best experience we've had in renting likewise units - kindest Terry and family
