About this property
Oceanfront Retreat: Elevated Boho Living on the Coast
Experience a refined take on coastal soul at the main-floor flat of @TheBohoRetreats. This isn't just a place to stay; it’s a sun-drenched sanctuary designed for tranquility, creativity, and rejuvenation. Perched directly on the Atlantic in desirable Purcell’s Cove, our home offers a sophisticated blend of clean lines and natural warmth.
The Aesthetic While our building is known for its artistic soul, this specific retreat offers an elevated experience. The decor is a curated palette of white and wood, providing a serene backdrop for a collection of folk art from the Canadian Arctic and around the world. Every window frames a view of the sea, ensuring you are always connected to the tides and the light.
The Space The Lookout Lounge: A spacious, open-concept great room with a glass-front fireplace, chef’s kitchen (6-burner propane stove), and panoramic views.
The Sea Glass Spa: Our signature full bath featuring a vintage clawfoot tub with ocean views and a private, built-in steam hammam.
The Captain’s Sanctuary: The primary suite with a King bed and views of the cove.
The Navigator’s Nook: A dedicated workspace/flex-room with a Queen Murphy bed—perfect for academics or remote professionals.
The Boho Head: A secondary half-bath with a touch of whimsical local-art charm.
The Location & Lifestyle Located on a quiet, private lane just 15 minutes from downtown Halifax and Dalhousie University. You are steps away from private walking trails, the beach, and the rugged beauty of York Redoubt.
Our Philosophy We invite you to be temporary caretakers of this magical place. We believe in the principle of "leaving things better than you found them," and we seek guests who value peace, nature, and mindful living.
