Spotless clean, everything you need. Bays Water Beach 7 minute drive. Chester 25 min drive for groceries and spirits. The place is beautifully decorated with a seascape theme. Back yard is gorgeous. Our only regret was not being able to have an outdoor fire in that firepit. We respect the Nova Scotia fire burn and all those affected. The place would be a beautiful fall escape. We have great weather here in the fall and I think the fire ban will be lifted.

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!

Fabulous home on Nova Scotia’s south shore! Easy access to Halifax (1 hour), Hubbards (20 min), Chester (20 min) and Lunenburg (1 hour). We were visiting for a family wedding at Hubbards Barn. The house was perfect and exactly as shown in the pictures. The host was very responsive to our questions and allowed an early check in which we appreciated given long flights to get there. The house is extremely well equipped.
Enjoying the backyard!

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!

Very much enjoyed our stay, well equipped home,my only suggestion would be on the steep steps going up stairs to add gripping runners for safety,we are an active group of 83 year olds into hiking and biking but two mentioned how slippery the steps were with our stocking feet. Thanks again great stay! Sharon

Stunning Location- Superb Host

Honestly Andrew saved our vacation. We rolled into Halifax during Hurricane Lee, and the ferry to our accommodation was not running. We booked this place two days before our arrival. Andrew let us check in early and use his generator as their was no power. We were in constant communication during the storm even though he was in Italy! This place is a real treasure. I will definitely be coming back. So easy for day trip, beautiful area for exploring. I ran everyday on the road to gorgeous scenery. Truly unreal experience and jt blew our friends minds. They had never been to the east coast. It was amazing! Thank You Andrew for helping us make memories!

Summer house by the sea

Beautiful home on a large private lot. Kitchen well stocked with condiments. You need only bring your main meal items. Firepit with sufficient seating. Barbecue. Outdoor seating in front and back of house. Is within relatively short driving distances of swimming beaches (30 mins plus or minus). Worth a drive to Mahone Bay and Lunenberg to sightsee or enjoy a restaurant meal. Would return.
