seaside convenience

Beautiful views of St. Margaret's Bay, with private outdoor terrace, in a quiet, wooded neighborhood. The apartment was well-furnished and equipped for two people, convenient to nearby stores, coffee shops and seaside attractions. Helpful live-in hosts and clear directions made the stay easy.

Chris has a beautiful place just outside of Tantallon! Both the sofa bed and bedroom could use new mattress as well as blinds for the living room windows but other than that our stay was fantastic. The view of the bay was spectacular, it was nice to soak in the hot tub each night.

Paradise

We really enjoyed our week, so peaceful and relaxing. View is amazing and especially liked the covered seating area on the deck, great for sitting out anytime of the day. Unit is very bright, clean and had everything we needed. Hosts are very friendly and accommodating, responding very quickly to any questions we had. Hoping to have a return stay!

Outstanding, great view and accommodations

We had a great stay at Chris and Stephanie’s VRBO on the water. The one bedroom suite had everything that we were looking for. It was clean, modern and private. It’s proximity to local towns, amenities, recreation and to Peggie’s Cove were great. Thanks Chris and Stephanie! We look forward to our next stay with you and the local blue heron!

Great owners and great central location

The owners were great, if we had any issues they were quick to deal with it. Loved their friendly dog. Great location. Kayaks and hot tub was a bonus. Our only concern was owners live right above the rental and it was a bit loud at times.

Peaceful with a beautiful view

We loved the beautiful location with our own private ocean view deck . The one bdrm suite is airy and spacious and has everything needed to make a decent meal if you’re not too ambitious. The bedding and towels are all nice, and the mattress is very comfy too. There is a dock down the little hill that we were welcome to use to swim off of when we wanted . The owners are very nice and helpful, and respect their guests privacy. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location and water views

Convenient location 25 minutes from Peggy’s Cove and 7 minutes from shopping and an express bus to Halifax. Access to the unit is a little tricky with a steep driveway and an outdoor staircase. Excellent water views. The unit was reasonably well- stocked but could use better ventilation and window curtains.

Seals playing games with us!

It was a very nice property. Loved kayaking and looking at the seals as they were spying on us. The only thing I would suggest is you replace the pillows on the bed. Other than that everything was good.

Best Hosts Ever!

The property was amazing, the views were stunning and peaceful and the hosts were fabulous!!! What a getaway. We could not have asked for a better situation. The weather wasn't always perfext but that doesn't matter when you have a great space and wonderful hosts :) We saw seals, blue herons and were only a short drive from Halifax. Chris and Stephanie were very helpful and provided us with everything we needed, even lent us their pot and burner to boil our own lobsters outside! Many thanks to our friendly, accomodating hosts!

The view and location was nice but the beds sucked and the noise from the landlords above the unit at night made it hard to sleep.

Nice but LOUD

The property itself was nice, however it is a walkout basement, which we were unaware at time of booking. There was constant noise from foot traffic from the family upstairs which made our stay less peaceful than desired. The unit itself was nice and had most amenities required, although no oven. Nice shower and bed was comfortable. Hosts were unobtrusive and friendly, but you definitely felt their presence as noted above. Would not stay again due to the noise.

well located for south shore stay

This rental provides a private, well located place for a short term visit. Access to the unit is by stairs to the back of the main house located on a hill with a lovely water view. The kitchen facilities are somewhat limited but adequate, especially for those out sightseeing most of the time. Aside from noise from those living upstairs over the unit, it is a very comfortable place to stay.

Head of St Margarets bay vacation

The property is beautiful and in an amazing location! Relaxing in the hot tub overlooking the ocean after a long day on the go was perfect. The house is very nicely done and very clean. The property owners were very nice and helpful. I highly recommend this property and would not hesitate to stay there again on a future trip.

Quel magnifique endroit

Chris et Stéphanie ont été des hôtes merveilleux. Nous avions tout ce que nous désirions. En plus du logement très bien situé, nous avions accès à deux kayaks et même à des cannes à pêche😁 Le logement était très propre et même s’il n’y avait qu’une chambre, nous avions assez d’espace avec nos deux enfants😊 Le spa était toujours bien apprécié en soirée 😁
