Spectacular Oceanfront Living in Authentic Fishing Village

Located forty five mins. from Halifax on the incomparable south shore of Nova Scotia this oceanside property is nestled in the heart of Northwest Cove .Watch the fishing boats head out and return with their day's catch. Rent a kayak (or a bike) or just walk to the nearby coves and beaches. Fish or snorkel from the dock. Have a bar-b-que and end the day by a crackling camp fire. Photographers, artists, beware ! You'll never want to leave ! Banking, shopping 10 mins. away. Historic Mahone Bay, Lunenburg and Peggy's Cove forty five minutes.

Amazing property and amazing host!

A family member was getting married in Hubbards this weekend and we were her decorating crew so needed somewhere to stay. The house was perfect it slept all 13 of us (10 adults, 3 little kids), it was clean, well maintained and had absolutely stunning views. Kelly was absolutely wonderful to deal with, we will definitely be back!

Great place for family funa

Our family of 12 had ample room in this fantastic home. With 2 kitchens, huge bedrooms, and a great dock to jump off, it's the ideal launching spot for a family vacation. The host is attentive and a great help if you want to get to know the area. I highly recommend it if you are travelling with a large group.

Amazing Family Vacation

Fantastic property for a family vacation. Comfortably accommodated our family of 8 adults and 6 children. Amazing views from the sunroom, which is where we spent most of our time. Kids have a blast catching mackerel from the dock. Location great for day trips and within 15 minutes of 3 beautiful beaches. Kelly is an amazing host.

This property was perfect for our needs. It is within a short driving distance to all of the sights in the area. Kelly was very easy to communicate with us and he helped us cook up our own lobster dinner. It is a peaceful place that is right on the ocean. I would definitely recommend his place for anyone staying in the area as a home base for all the activities in the area or just to relax. Our only regret was we didn’t stay longer.

Great view and Great space!

We were 8 golfers looking for a location that would provide us with lots of sleeping options, kitchen facilities and outdoor space to enjoy at the end of the day! This location was perfect! Kelly is an excellent host and made sure we had everything we needed. He was easy to contact and respectful of our space. It was our second stay at this location and we would not hesitate to return.

Private ocean cove retreat

The location in the heart of the Northwest Cove was perfect. The house is setup to accommodate any type of family or group. The house was equipped with everything we needed. The host Kelly was awesome from check in to check out he was always available if needed and was a delight to deal with. I would definitely recommend this rental to anyway looking for a central spot on the south shore of Nova Scotia.

Family get-together

Kelly's place was awesome. It had all the room we needed for our family. Plenty of space to hang out, nice sunroom and outdoor furnishing on the deck. Kitchen is well equipped plus the BBQ on the deck. The kids fished off the dock. We kayaked in the cove. Beaches not far away. Kelly was always available to help when needed.

Would be happy to return to this rental.

A family of 8 adults and 1 toddler. Plenty of room particularly for the toddler and his parents having the almost separate apartment. We could be noisy late into the evening in the main family room and not disturb the toddler sleeping. Wifi was good, view was beautiful, deck and lovely closed sunroom to enjoy away from wind and cool if needed. Close enough to Halifax that family came and went easily. Kelly very attentive to any requests or needs. Very happy with the time we had there. Highly recommend.

Great location and so much room!

This rental has so much room: sitting areas, beds and bathrooms. Beds were very comfy. On a quaint fishing cove. Sunrises are epic! Tons of deck space and outdoor seating. Location is perfect for exploring Lunenburg, Mahone Bay and Halifax. Kelly is wonderful - very helpful and easy to reach if needed! FYI - only 1 channel available on one of the TVs. If you don’t watch TV in the evenings, then it won’t be a bother. We missed having a TV for our evenings once the sun set. Keep this place in mind if you have a group that needs lodging in this beautiful area!
