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

Beautiful location, easy access to all places of interest, amazing views of the harbour from the private deck. The hosts will bend over backwards to accommodate you. Highly recommended, five stars.

We enjoyed our stay for nearly a week. Its a good location for touring some popular sites. Dom and Rachael were lovely and helpful, and the house was very clean and well stocked.

My husband and I wanted a comfortable and quiet place to land evenings after busy days in Halifax. This was the just the right spot! Ketch Harbor is an easy drive away from the city and this location is close enough to the cove in Ketch Harbor that you feel like you are part of a harbor village setting. Just the way to get away from the hub-bub of the city and relax - Mornings we would take walks around the waterfront and enjoy the peace. Domenic and Rachael were lovely hosts and were sure to let us know their favorite places all around the area for food, drink, hiking, and more. A very personable couple! The space is very clean and fresh, with everything we needed. Although their home is attached to the cottage/apartment you wouldn't know it; it is very quiet between the two spaces. A great location for a relaxing getaway.

It's a wonderful stay, Rachael and Dom are very nice people, the view is good and the area is very quiet, highly recommend.

Our family of five needed a three bedroom place fairly close to Halifax. Unit was clean, well equipped and nice decorating/linens. Only issue was no washing machine. A beautiful dock was just steps away. Close to a very nice beach. Owners were very helpful and knowledgeable of area.

I like the surrounding, cleanliness and host of the property. I didn't like the beds. They should be changed to queen size

My companion and I needed a 5-night stay in/near Halifax (NS) in early August. City hotel prices were ridiculously inflated, and so we thought we should try a seaside property for less cost and much greater ambiance. This Ketch Harbour residence is essentially a completely equipped 3-bedroom, independent unit of a house with a direct frontal view of the cove. All essential amenities were clean, attractive, and perfectly functioning; and it was easy to walk down to the immediate water and enjoy the vista of fishing boats and few small pleasure craft, the occasional fog which almost always evaporated as the sun rose, the sunsets and moonlight, etc. For a white-sand beach almost directly on the Atlantic, Crystal Crescent Beach is only a 10 min drive away and nearby is an old-school General Store with a delicious (fast-food) seafood operation, everything you could want for supplies, and even a boutique liquor store stocked with Nova Scotian-produced beverages as well as the offshore regulars. Our hosts were affable, knowledgeable about the local flora, fauna, and history, and were keen to make my companion and I feel genuinely welcome and spared neither expense nor their own comforts and leisure to make us feel very much at home. The only additions that they should contemplate would be cupboard space in the kitchen and perhaps a washer-dryer in the residence itself (though we could have used theirs). Dom and Rachael were superb conversationalists and absolutely gracious. We recommend Captain Jacks so, so highly. A great place to become acquainted with coastal Nova Scotia.
