We had a great stay! The property is well maintained, clean, had a fully stocked kitchen, towel and linens which was great for reducing luggage on the plane. If you want to do a variety of activities outside of Halifax we found this as a great location - everything we wanted to do was pretty much within an hour!

We had a fantastic stay! Two adults and two kids were very comfortable in this coastal home... of course the beautiful weather helped. The home had everything we needed and more. And the drive into nearby Chester, Mahone Bay, Lunenburg and Halifax are all very short and scenic. We would recommend this property to anyone!

Wonderful place for a family vacation

We spent two weeks here in July. It is ideally located for trips into Halifax, Lunenburg, Mahone Bay and Chester. Also close to the excellent Rumrunners trail for biking and running. This is easily the best Vrbo house we have stayed at- beautifully decorated and stocked with every item you could think of from olive oil to bandaids, and the owner is very helpful and responsive.
