Oceanfront 2BR Private Apartment
About this condo rental
Beautiful 2 BR Apartment, fully equipped Kitchen, W/D for a short or extended stay and offers a stunning view of the ocean just off the balcony with BBQ, and private sitting area to watch the sunrise or just to relax and enjoy. Inside you can relax in air-conditioned comfort on those hot days, or curl up next to the electric fireplace on the cold nights while watching your favorite movie on Netflix. The centerpiece of the apartment for me is the walk-in shower with engraved glass panels. These etchings were created by a local artist and are one of a kind hand-sketched and feature the Bluenose and the Peggy's Cove Lighthouse, 2 of our most famous attractions here in Nova Scotia. Kayaks available onsite complimentary, private island tours provided by the host are optional with advance reservations You will have access to local shops and cafes, as well as the rails to trails walking path just across the street.

We spent 11 nights here and were pleased with the location with easy travel to Halifax or Lunenberg way.
We loved the rails to trails pathway across the street and up the hill.
We felt the place needs a good thorough cleaning.
Such as, The bbq, the microwave, the oven, and the fridge.
Thank you.

This was a wonderful little spot in an ocean cove setting. A nice comfortable and clean space that gave us joy during our morning coffee or a peaceful dinner in the evening. Any small request was addressed quickly by the terrific hosts Steve & Joanne. A surprise boat tour in the am before our departure was a very nice unexpected extra. We will stay there again if we get the chance.
Thanks again Steve and Joanne. 😎

Simple to check in. The accommodations were good and exactly as define.
Good location...halfway between Halifax and Lunenberg.
We were staying for a few days to visit family. Worked out perfect.

At first glance the place was fine. It was once we were inside for a few minutes that we really saw it close up. The bathroom baseboard heater was full of dust and hair, the shower had mold around the entire edge where the wall meets the floor, the vanity drawers were full of junk and needed a good wipe and under the sink was also full and dirty. The light and fan switch are located behind a shelving unit, the electrical outlet is behind the mirror and is not a GFI. The kitchen sink was dirty, the bedroom windows were full of dirt and dead flies. The floor has some major dips, lots of squeaks, the electrical in the kitchen is a hazard! I have pictures of the wiring. Smh. The deck, which is over. 8’ from the ground has NO beam to support it! We- 3 adults with a combined weight of 470 lbs- sat on the deck one night. We noticed a bit of a sag in the decking when we stood up and notice the glass panels we actually coming out of the top rail because of the dip in the centre! The entire floor in the kitchen and living area shook when the washer, which is in the bathroom, went into the spin cycle. The second bedroom closet was so full of junk there was no place to hang any clothes. There is a split exchanger in the living area with AC, but it does absolutely nothing for the bedrooms so it was quite warm even with the windows open. Every time they open the garage door below the floor clunks.
In the pictures this place looks wonderful, but up close it needs a lot of work.

We cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. The apartment was just what we needed but the best features can be found outside. Little private beach, use of kayaks, beautiful views, bike trails and close to Halifax and Peggy’s Cove. Our hosts went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed! We hope to return to Nova Scotia one day again and know this is exactly where we would love to stay.

The Hostesses were great. They live on the property, so convenient if anything was needed. Yet private enough!
It's a great spot in between Halifax and Lunenburg which offers the quiet get away from the tourists spots. The place has everything you could need, with a grocery store not to far away.
Would stay here again, if back in the area.

We loved our time in Nova Scotia! This location is perfect for several day trips as many things are within a 30 min. drive. The hosts of this property Steve and Johan are incredibly knowledgeable and gracious. Apartment is well appointed and comfortable with a great deck offering beautiful views of the bay and sunrise.
Would love to return!!

Great location between Halifax and Lunenburg. Lovely unit. Steve and Johan are welcoming, kind and helpful. I loved the wee private beach which is ideal for all, especially swimmers who prefer calmer waters and more secure footing than one finds at the more open beaches of Saint Margaret’s Bay.

We HIGHLY recommend this place ! During our 5-weeks here, Steve went above and beyond to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. He was always easy to reach and is the type of guy who sincerely looks out for the well-being of others. We are beyond grateful for his kindness, humour, and generosity!! Inside, the place is well-equipped, the beds were really comfortable, the shower is very well designed, and there is an absolutely unbeatable waterfront view!
Make this your choice!!

The apartment was great with everything we would want and the view of the harbor was good from the balcony. My only concern was that it is very close to the road. There is very little traffic at night so that was not an issue. There was nowhere to walk except beside the road or drive to another area. The actual location was great for getting around Nova Scotia.

Comfortable and well stocked apartment. Great location on the water and near major highway routes. Beautiful views and relaxing stay. The host, friends and family were gracious and welcoming. We were there during the Hurricane and our host made us feel safe, checked often and provide generator power. We highly recommend this location.

Great stay
The property is right on the Bay. Great views all day. Perfect for our dog as he had a lot of room to run around and play. Only 30 mins from Peggys Cove and close enough to Halifax and Lunenburg for a day trip. Large grocery chain nearby to get your meals and cook on site.

Great location right on the water. Close to the popular sights...Peggy's Cove, Mahone Bay etc. Steve was a friendly host and met us when we arrived. He promises to get the door lock fixed...it was tricky.

We stayed with Steve for an extended stay while we completed a house hunt. Steve gave us the warmest Maritime Welcome! The apartment is cozy and well equipped and offers
an amazing view of the bay. You are a short drive to stores & some delicious local eateries! The St. Margaret's Bay Trail is close by as well. Steve was so kind and accommodating! He was always available & quick to respond to questions. We would book again with Steve in a heartbeat.
