Had high expectations going in and all of them were exceeded. The house itself accommodated 4 families very comfortably and every little detail was meticulously thought through - host Madison & Jody have clearly put their heart & soul into this place which honours the local Acadian traditions. The property overlooks the ocean which allowed us to take our time and walk on it at low tide. It is located in a quiet community but close to spectacular scenery and beaches such as Smugglers Cove and Mavilette beach where the kids swam and became master beachcombers finding large never before seen sea shells. This place provided the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of more popular getaways. In truth, we thought the Brier Island Lighthouse easily rivalled that of Peggy’s Cove - and we had it all to ourselves. The place feels like it’s off the beaten path yet still very accessible as it is only 25 min drive from Digby ferry. We all highly recommend this place. Any one looking to catch up with family & friends away from the blare of conventional tourist swells, where the only distraction is a stunning sunset and tidal movements that leave you awestruck, cannot go wrong with the Cove House. Fully satisfied.

Check-in was simple and Madison was kind enough to allow early-access to the property. There was ample seating and activity space for the full family, and the warf is directly across the street to provide easy access to the waterfront and Saturday morning farmers market. Sunsets from the front patio and yard are spectacular! We we're also able to have the perfect view of the full moon from the outdoor seating area.The kitchen is equipped with everything you could need to cook a meal for a large family gathering, and seating was ample around the dining table thanks to the size and the bench. The coffee bar was the highlight for me, with a Keurig machine, drip coffee, and French press all available.

We were all so thrilled with this property!!! It was perfect for our extended family

We were ten adults aged 28-89, and the house was an excellent spot for our family holiday. It was very well-equipped, very clean and cosy with lots of welcoming touches. Space for all to find some quiet time, and very comfortable beds. The host was responsive, and we explored lots of the highlights of the area. Highly recommend!
