Cajun's Cottage - zen beach house w/hot tub

LynnRating, 5 stars6 days ago
We both needed to relax and unwind and that’s exactly what we did. This spot is perfect. The cottage is beautiful. We’ve been to quite a bit of Airbnb’s and I have to say this one was the cleanest we’ve ever been too. I highly recommend it. We are already talking of going back. Marco and Savannah are great hosts.

Absolutely beautiful home and property, we enjoyed every moment of our time here and are planning to stay again! Peaceful, surrounded by water with stunning views, comfy beds, clean and cozy common areas, and the hot tub was a huge hit. Daniel was so responsive to my messages leading up to the trip, and we had zero issues during our stay. I highly recommend booking with Daniel and staying at this spot! We can’t wait to go back!

This house is in a remarkable location and very comfortable. The stairwell to the second floor is a bit small but certainly adequate. Wendy is a responsive and helpful host. Family of 4 had a good visit.

Spencer's Island Retreat - Bay of Fundy

ShirleyRating, 5 stars8 months ago
This private accommodation was just as described and exactly what we were looking for. The kitchen was well equipped (ample supply of dishes, glasses pots/pans & some food provisions to start the stay), clean and comfortable to work in. The view was exceptional (we were very lucky with the weather!) and the clear, dark night sky was spectacular. The bed was comfortable and roomy, with high quality linens. The jet tub was very relaxing. The warmth from the wood stove made the whole place cosy... great for reading a good book with a glass of 🍷. Thanks for sharing Myrtle!

Margaretsville Cottage

JenniferRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We really enjoyed the deck. We enjoyed the waterfront view, the quiet, peaceful mornings, having our morning coffee on the deck was one of the highlights for us as we are from the city so we don’t have that option. We truly enjoyed our time there and it made it very easy for us to visit our family, which is literally a five minute drive down the road. Thank you for hosting us Jeanette.

The Harbour Hideaway - Port Mouton

WalidRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We really enjoyed our stay at Pete’s cottage at Port Mouton. The location is incredible, with stunning unobstructed views of the ocean. We spent many hours, gazing at the waves crashing on the rocks, while altering our views back to the endless Sea. The cottage was equipped with everything anyone could need during their stay. As Pete told me when I asked, 'just bring your favorite coffee or tea'. We did not feel that anything was missing. Pete always responded to our messages promptly, in few minutes, and in a positive and welcoming manner. We would recommend a stay at this cottage to anyone, and we do plan to come back to it once again. The cottage was super clean, all amenities are available, instructions were clear. The location is nice and quite but not isolated. You can walk or drive to a nearby grocery store, a restaurant and a sandy beach. Before booking, I thought other reviews were a bit generous but now I understand. Yes, it is that good.

Medford Beach house cottage

AudreyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Wonderful place to relax and watch the Fundy tides without crowds and the need to time trips to fully experience both low and high tides. The cottage is comfortable and easy to get to, close to town and a grocery store. Spent 2 nights there with our small dogs and we had everything we needed. Enjoyed our stay!

Serene lakefront living. Two bedroom cottage.

ShilaRating, 5 stars8 months ago
The location was so beautiful and quiet! The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of seating inside and outside. The one amenity that we missed was a dryer but the portable washer worked well. The host was very communicative and we felt like we get got a great bargain. Even though I came from the west coast, I got up at sunrise each morning and it was memorable!

Private Cottage with Sunsets and Star Gazing

SylviaRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Beautiful location, great beach for rock collecting with low tide. Socal table restaurant was very close and delicious. Not far from Lobster Pound which we enjoyed. Cottage is rustic, initially not sure about the outdoor shower as the weather was cool but it was worth the experience. We kept the wood stove going as it was cool the first night. Not your typical Airbnb stay, but worth it!

Driftwood dreams cottage

HeatherRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a wonderful stay. Immaculate, view was breathtaking very comfortable beds & furniture!! We had everything we needed for a long weekend!! The ONLY thing to note was the last 3-5 minutes of the drive to the cottage was a bit rough in spring. But would certainly not deter me from visiting again. Sonia was very responsive and friendly. Wifi connection was very good!

Unique Oceanfront 2 bedrooms with private baths

JoshuaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Great place. One of my favorites that I have stayed at. Private and peaceful (make sure that is what you are looking for). We went for a staycation style and just enjoyed the views of the water and cooking at the place. We went out to dinner a couple of times, once was an hour round trip, and the other was a two-hour round trip -- we knew this going in, so no complaints. We would be open to going again in the future perhaps with another couple as the place is set up perfectly with nearly identical master suites with their own bathrooms and an additional third bathroom on the floor with the living room/dining/kitchen area—just a great innovative design and set-up with awesome windows and views. The hosts were also attentive to our needs and even left a nice surprise to welcome us after our long drive. I would highly recommend it.

Seal Rock House

ErinRating, 5 stars9 months ago
I can't say enough about this place! It was VERY peaceful and private with a gorgeous sand beach right at the doorstep. We wondered why it was called 'Seal Rock House' until we woke up one morning and saw the seals!!! We spent hours watching them and it was a highlight of our tour around the province. The house was spotless, had comfy beds, and we loved the design. We felt at home. Christoph was an amazing host. He was very friendly and left great info about the surrounding area, plus some menus we ordered from quite frequently! An incredible place to stay and an extremely reasonable price! Very highly recommended!!!!!

Seafarers Hideaway

KenRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Our stay at Seafarers Hideaway was a truly memorable experience. The property has one of the most beautiful views we have ever encountered and it is extremely well appointed. They have thought of everything guests will need to have an enjoyable stay. The kitchen and pantry are very well stocked as well as the bathroom. We absolutely loved the fireplace and enjoyed most evenings by the fire. When weather permitted we enjoyed the outdoor fire area and used the bbq most nights. The muskoka chairs are perfectly situated on various parts of the property and we enjoyed looking at Peggy’s Cove with the binoculars provided. We would highly recommend this property as it is an hours drive to Halifax, Lunenberg and Peggy’s Cove, with much of the drive along the ocean. We would love to return someday and treasure our first experience in Nova Scotia at Seafarers Hideaway. Krista and Ken
