About this property
Gorgeous Oceanfront Retreat near Halifax
You will feel at home as soon as you walk through the doors of this stylish Nova Scotia vacation home. Enjoy expansive views across St Margaret’s Bay and looking out to the rugged Shut-In Island. Wander across the large yard to the shore and beachcomb amongst the rocks. With 255 feet of waterfront, there is plenty of room to enjoy.
This house has just undergone a renovation which has made it an outstanding place to enjoy coastal living with the whole family. A large new deck and newly renovated bathrooms are just a few of the upgrades.
The main floor features a bright living room with high ceilings and large windows looking out to the ocean. The comfortable furnishings, propane fireplace and flat screen TV make for a great place to kick back and relax. The well-designed kitchen features quartz countertops, an island with bar stools and everything you’ll need to cook up a feast. The dining area is located just off the living room and kitchen, with a table large enough to seat eight.
The primary bedroom is located on the main floor, with a comfortable king sized bed. This bedroom features ocean views through large windows, an entrance to the deck, a flat screen TV, a luxurious 4-piece ensuite bathroom and a large walk-in closet.
The main floor features two additional bedrooms – both spacious, bright and with queen sized beds. These rooms share a four piece bathroom, with a tub/shower combination.
A large patio runs along the back of the house and looks out over the lawn and out to the ocean. Here you can use the propane barbeque and enjoy a meal outdoors on the dining table that seats six. A perfect place to enjoy the view in style and comfort!
Downstairs is the fourth bedroom, with queen sized bed, and a bathroom with walk in shower. This floor also has a large rec room with plenty of games for kids and adults: ping-pong table, toys, board games and an indoor basketball hoop game.

Amazing views and clean beautiful home with everything necessary and well appointed. Wonderful stay at peaceful, beautiful location, offering quick access to PC and short trek to upper Tantallon.(enjoyed family ping pong battles in the games room).
Home was just right for our group. Great location and amenities. Enjoyed the views from the deck and master bedroom. We will be back to visit Halifax and definitely will look to stay here again.
We needed a place where we could gather with our kids and friends for a week and the house was perfect for us. Well appointed, beautiful views and close to many amenities and restaurants. This is an easy recommendation.
A beautiful property and home right on the water! We stayed here with multiple families and there was enough space to spread out and be comfortable together or have some quiet space. The rooms are a perfect size and everything we needed was there. We loved that it was removed from the hustle bustle of the city but it’s close enough to go and soak that up too. We had a fantastic vacation!
Easy entry process, roomy, beautiful, gorgeous views...Our 9 day stay was relaxing and laid back. We are far enough away for privacy and quiet also a close enough drive to shopping and all kinds of restaurants and attractions. Thank you Jeanne!!
This home was beautiful inside and out. The view of the bay was gorgeous and we loved how peaceful it was. Check in and check out were seamless and Jeanne was responsive to all questions. We would love to come back someday. Great trip!
Spent our week at Cranberry Cove. Beautiful house, gorgeous views! Perfect week. House was very inviting and well stocked with basics. We hated to leave!
What a gorgeous home right along the water. What a treat it was to overlook the bay as I sipped my morning coffee.
There was a great game room/play room for the kids. Very well thought out and stocked.
Thank you again for welcoming us into your home.
Great place to stay with family and friends! House is very spacious with awesome observation deck, fire pit spot to hang out, several games to enjoy!
The only suggestion would be is to make check out time at least an hour later. (to give guests a little extra time to enjoy this great property :))
Strongly recommended! Loved our time there!
Very nice location. Well set up to host a couple families. Check in was seamless and the host handled all our asks and requests as the came up. We would rent again
