Oceanfront 2BR Private Apartment

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.
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.

This was an amazing property. The hosts live right next-door and it’s on Saint Margaret’s Bay. Steve and Johane were very attentive hosts and every question we asked or if we needed something they were right there for us. They recommended several restaurants, told us about some of the things in the area and Steve even took us out for an evening boat cruise to see the around the bay. I highly recommend this property for anybody who wants to stay in the area. And we would definitely come back again. Thank you, Steve and Johane! 5 star property for sure!!!

A wonderful spot

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.

Perfect!

This apartment was the perfect size for my husband and I. The location was perfect to tour up and down the coast. There was a grocery store 10 min to the east and The Little Ice Cream Shop was 10 minutes to the west (YUMMY!). If we ever head back to Nova Scotia we would stay here.

Great location and great view

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.

Perfect location and beautiful view

We had a great time staying here. We were traveling all over the east coast and this was a great place to stay while having easy access to Nova Scotia and some of the sights. Everything you need is provided. The managers are super friendly and helpful. Couldn’t have asked for better accommodations.

Maritime memories

My wife and I were very happy with the property. The view from the windows and balcony were beautiful and certainly reflected Maritime life. From the fishing and sail boats docked on the property to watching the paddle boarders and walking to the private beach. While watching the fog roll into the bay we really felt immersed into what Nova Scotia rural scenery had to offer. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful.

Excellent Stay

We stayed here for 6 nights, April 2-7. The interior of the apartment was exactly as pictured, a cute and private 2bedroom space with a lovely deck that over looks over the cove. The only thing I was surprised with upon arrival was that the apartment was located on top of a garage, and to access it you have to climb a moderate flight of stairs. This could have been my mistake for not reading the add throughly enough but, for me, the photos did not depict this. Luckily all members of our party staying here were able bodied and this was not an issue for us.The only other thing to note about this property is that it is located very close to the main road and if you sleep in the one bedroom that is closest to the front of the property you can hear a lot of road noise throughout the night. Otherwise this was a fantastic place to stay with all the amenities you could need, and the property manager, Steve, was very helpful and pleasant to work with.

Perfect for exploring!

Very easy to get to the highway to explore the south shore or HRM. Nice to have a separate space from the hosts. Hosts responded very quickly to any questions we had. Beds were comfortable and kitchen well stocked. Loved the dishwasher! Consider bringing slippers as the floors get cold - not a big deal! The views from this second story are worth it!
