Great off season getaway

This home was perfect. Beautiful scenery. Equipped with everything you would need for a perfect stay. Plan to rent again.

Love this spot. Second time there. A gem in every respect.

This is a wonderful house in a fabulous location. It's close enough to Halifax to be accessible but it feels worlds away. Beautifully quiet, with gorgeous views from literally every window, and super quiet. Meaghan was very helpful.

Our family loved this house & this area for so many reasons I don’t think I can accurately review all the reasons why. The first thing that was exceptional was how accommodating and flexible Meagan was with our reservation. We live in Ottawa and needed a place to quarantine for 2 weeks if we were allowed to come to NS to visit family. Meagan was kind enough to allow our booking knowing we may not be able to come to NS until just a few days before our arrival date due to strict Covid 19 rules for travel . Luckily our dates worked as restrictions lifted in time for our trip. The house is simply gorgeous , the view from the house truly is like a painting . It literally takes your breath away. The house is a perfect blend of historic and modern with all the comforts of your own home. The kitchen has tons of dishes & everything else you would need for cooking a family meal. There was plenty of space for our family of 5 which includes our 22, 24 & 27yo children . Some of us were in need of workspace during our 2 week stay and found the internet handled our needs very well. Meagan was even kind enough to pick up a grocery order for us as we were not sure if we would be able to go to the store until we received back our negative COVID tests. I would love to return to this beautiful property on another visit to NS. Thank you for an incredible stay!!

Beautiful property and community for my quarantine. Wifi speed was outstanding. My wife joined me for my last night when my quarantine was complete and the bird watching and hiking were fantastic as was the sunset!

Marshwind was an ideal getaway—the property was immaculate, views were mesmerizing, and neighbours were friendly. Meagan and Scott were lovely hosts and the property had everything needed for a short (or long) stay. Would love to return on my next visit!

We had a wonderful stay at Marshwinds. Loved the house, the view, the village and the wonderful tips from the owners. It was so quiet and peaceful, but only a short drive to Halifax and peggy’s Cove.

Beautiful updated spacious vacation property! We loved our stay. The house has all the amenities and the property with the cove view was breathtaking. Saw some of the most wonderful sunrises!! Was perfect for some quiet and serene downtime. Meagan was great in answering our questions on where to dine and purchase seafood, etc, and was accommodating with our scheduling constraints. Thanks so much! We will definitely be back!

Our whole family - two adults, two teens - agree that this is one of the top 3 cottage/vacation rentals we have ever stayed at. Prospect is visually stunning, the hiking is awesome, the weather ever-changing....and to be able to hike out the front door across visually stunning rocky outcroppings to open ocean, and kayak out the back door in the relative calm waters of the marsh....fantastic. And the cottage itself is perfectly laid out - a great division of space for a family with 2 teens - cozy rooms for sharing, and space to spread out. Very well equipped. We will be back!!

I can’t even begin to say enough about our experience with this property. Scenic. Peaceful. A balm for the soul. Nothing describes it adequately. The house was spotless and beautifully decorated. Also very well equipped with everything you’d need. Some places we’ve rented have had the minimal but this place has plenty. Plenty of pans, dishes, small appliances, towels and other supplies needed to live like you’re home while playing like you’re on vacation. The community is a quaint and stunning fishing village with neighbors that are as sweet and friendly as can be...not intrusive at all but always quick to smile and greet you as you walk down the lane and happy to stop and chat or point out favorite local places of interest. Truly a place to breathe out stress and breathe in peace. Not only is the house itself lovely and the place it’s situated a feast for the eyes, but the central location can not be beat. From this home you can traverse the southern coast of Nova Scotia with ease, with the big city advantages and the rural beauty being equally accessible. Halifax is a wonderful culinary experience with so many eateries that it would take a year to exhaust them all. But DO NOT MISS a wonderful little place called “The French Fix” on the corner of Prince and Argyle streets in Halifax. They serve the most delicious macarons and baked goods and we were delighted to find out AFTER we had been there that it was owned by one of our lovely “neighbors” in the village. There is a beautiful hike just minutes from the doorstep of this property that takes you to some of the most stunning views of the ocean. And the cove in the backyard of this home is different every day with the sun, the tide and the weather changing the beauty of it at every turn. We enjoyed kayaking at high tide and seeing the wildlife from the deck and every window of the home. To say we would return to this spot is a no brainer and we hope to get back again. It was well worth the two full days of driving it took to get there from our home in the U.S. Thank you to the homeowners for sharing your slice of heaven with this family!

This is our second stay and once again it exceeded our expectations. The house is so well equipped and well care for, we really feel at home. And we do love this part of Nova Scotia- so much to do and see, even when the weather does not cooperate, it is a beautiful place to be. We never seem to have enough time to do all the things we plan. Meagan and Scott are wonderful hosts- there for whatever you need. We love this place and will surely be back again.

Marshwind is the perfect spot for a respite. The cottage is charming, the sunrises over the water breathtaking, and the hikes stunning. This was our second stay there... all the way from Seattle, Washington. That says it all! Thank you, Meagan, for all your lovely touches!

Incredible views in a comfortable and lovely home , perfectly appointed ! Very special !

THe moment we walked in the door we felt right at home, the cottage is modern , bright , very clean and has everything you need? Beautiful views of the marsh and the crashing waves across the road. A incredible trail on the ocean across the road , to watch beautiful sunsets.

My husband and I had a wonderful week at Marshwind. Beautifully situated on a quiet cove with great views of the marsh out the back (complete with terns, ducks, and busy little crabs) and the Atlantic out front. The house itself is a beautiful remodel of an old house with all the modern amenities but still retaining the coastal fisherman's vibe. Waking to sunrise in the master bedroom (no blinds on the big window) and the amazing view was not a problem for me, though it might not be everyone's cup of tea. We lived in the kitchen and on the back deck and loved the view from the computer nook on the 2nd floor! Nova Scotia recycling took a bit of study but happy to do our part in keeping NS so clean. While not exactly remote (only 20 minutes to Halifax) if you're looking to be at the center of the action, look elsewhere. Here it was all about the sea, the marsh, a good hiking trail, picturesque views, a few good books, and glasses of NS wine--which you can pick up in one of the few local stores (and by local I mean 6 miles down the road). Everything here is comfortable and clean and really a wonderful location for some respite from a crazy world. The fog can be T-H-I-C-K in the mornings and take quite a few hours to burn off, but 5 miles down the road you'll have clear blue skies. I kept thinking what a great spot it would be for a weeklong retreat with the girls. I hope to return some day and highly recommend this beautiful spot.

We spent a week and wish we had booked for two! The house is beautiful. The views are magical. Beds were comfortable. We loved walking the trail that is a very short walk away. It is stunning. Hope to return.

This property is an utter delight. The location is one of great beauty and tranquility. The house itself is so comfortable and well appointed, as well as possessing charm and character, that however long you come for ,you will wish it were longer.

This well designed home allowed for comfort of entertainment of family and friends. The house has windows everywhere which bathed every room in sunlight. The water views are incredible “ and I was born in Prospect “ . I will use Marshwinds for future visits to my mother. The fully equipped kitchen had everything. All the usual items plus placemats, napkins, bowls of every size and even tealights.

So happy we picked this cottage ,even better than the pictures. Perfect location for exploring the area, Peggy's Cove, Halifax, Lunnenburg & Mahone Bay all within easy driving distance. The house is very well equipped , comfy beds & spotlessly clean. All this & the ocean is literally steps from the front door! Wish we could have stayed longer. And the hosts Meagan and Scott are both lovely people!

The cottage itself is amazing. Very quaint with a great combo of older cottage and new addition Beautiful tasteful landscaping and decorations. Sits right on the bayside with a boat launch ramp and multiple adirondack chairs for comfort outside. Great views including the ocean from all windows. Fabulous path just a few hundred feet away that leads out to an open space where you can enjoy the ocean crashing on the boulders or just walk the extensive trails. Host and neighbors very friendly. Great experience. From here we visited bay of Fundy. Grand pre vineyard. Peggy's cove and relaxed and read. You will love this place!

Our stay at Marshwind was one of our most memorable vacations. The property is one of a kind. Marshwind was pristine, decorated elegantly and functionally. The owners, Meagan and Scott thought of everything to make the stay perfect. The view from every corner of the home is remarkable. We didn't want to leave. Thanks for opening your cottage to us. We hope to back one day!

Nestled in a tranquil community, we loved every minute of our holiday. A great location to explore surrounding areas but far enough away to enjoy a week of R &R. Meagan and Scott were gracious hosts who ensured we had everything we needed. Marshwind was well equipped for cooking and provided a cosy stay. I am sure we will return soon!!

Love the cottage. It is such an architecturally pleasing home and the setting on the water is amazing. Enjoyed watching the birds and the tides come and go. The location in Prospect Village allows walks through the village and great access to the High Head Trail along the rocky coast. Thanks for sharing your cottage with us!

A week of pure relaxation, close to the water and the warmth of the sun. We can't remember enjoying such peace on any other vacation. Marshwind was in pristine condition, immaculately clean, and decorated with the perfect touch of whimsy, yet with all the practical necessities at our fingertips.The view in every direction is photographable. With the rhythm of the tides to measure the days, they melted away into our memories forever. We knew we would enjoy Nova Scotia, Prospect and Marshwind. We had no idea we would enjoy them all so much. With the extra accommodations upstairs, we want to bring our family along next time. Thanks, Scott and Meagan, for this wonderful gift. Can't wait to come back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay at Marshwind, and are already trying to figure out when we can make it back. Meagan and Scott we're so friendly, available, and accommodating; we couldn't have asked for better! The house is well kept and equipped, and perfectly situated to take in the wonderful sights, fresh smells, and sounds of the bay and its wildlife. We'll​ be actively recommending Marshwind and a Nova Scotia vacation to all out family and friends.
