About this cottage rental
This cottage is in a gorgeous location. It sits on 3 acres on a granite bluff overlooking the ocean, with greater than 180 degrees of spectacular water views. This is prime Nova Scotia ocean frontage. The views are unsurpassed. New for 2018- New bedroom suite with full bath and new Laundry Room, a dishwasher and new kitchen cabinets!
You would be at a peaceful oceanfront retreat, but Halifax, a major international city is only 20 minutes away! Prospect is also about 10 miles from the major tourist destination of Peggy's Cove, which is a quaint oceanfront village, with a much visited lighthouse on a granite coast. Prospect is an oceanfront fishing village. The village is fairly quiet, but the people are very friendly and can share their way of life with you. Waterfront recreation abounds with everything from sea kayaking to sailing, water skiing, motor boating, fishing and whale watching. There is a two mile stretch of undeveloped public land ('crown land', as it is nominally owned by the queen of England) right next to the cottage that is a fabulous place to walk, run mountain bike or hike. The coast is spectacular to drive along with many picturesque villages such as Peggy's Cove, Lununberg, Mahone Bay, and Chester nearby. Restaurants are plentiful, with delicious seafood. Halifax is a major international city and has first class activities and attractions, including Celtic music, professional sports and entertainment, the Citadel fortress, a charming waterfront, and an excellent nightlife.
This is a simple, but neat and comfortable cottage with all the basic amenities, and then some, on a spectacular location. I constantly update/upgrade it. It has free Wi Fi internet and cable TV. New Master Suite 2018. New Laundry area 2018.
If you are looking for 5-star resort accommodations, this is not for you! But if you want to be surrounded by gorgeous oceanfront in your private getaway, while still having a major international city nearby, you will be very happy. The cottage is best for 4 people, but there are a couple of beds in the unfinished attic, as well as a sleeper sofa.
Please note Nova Scotia and Canada tax of 15%. Pet fee $100/pet. PRICES ARE IN USD. If you wish to pay in $CDN, let me know and we will figure out a conversion rate for that time.

Communication with the host was super smooth, and the cottage was exactly as described and idyllic. It was hard to leave. The cottage was impeccably clean. Instructions completely clear. Great value for money, perfect location, well-stocked cottage with everything we needed. Thank you for a chance to recharge our batteries in such a beautiful location in cosy comfort. If we are ever in this part of the world again, we will try to come back. Couldn't have asked for more. Thank you.

Exactly how I envisioned Nova Scotia. The ocean waves lapping in the front. Small fishing boats on the rocky shore. Appreciated the minimalist surroundings. Cabin clean comfortable and fits perfectly in the surroundings

Great secluded location and gorgeous ocean views next to a quiet village. Located next to the trailhead for High Head Trail, a beautiful but challenging 2-3 hour hike along the rocky coast. Kids will love it. The kitchen had everything required to cook and/or grill. Overall a beautiful location and a relaxing place to stay. Note - buy food and drinks on the way in as the closest store is about 10km, everything closes early and there are no restaurants close by.

Could have been cleaner. Glad we brought our own water.
Location was great; close to Halifax and Peggy’s Cove
