Perfect Stay!

We had an absolutely incredible experience at this property. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had every amenity we could possibly need. Perfect location-we traveled to Halifax, Lunenburg, Peggy's Cove, Blue Rocks and Ovens National Park. We wouldn't change a thing to this house. Thank you for offering your beautiful property.

Can't beat the views and we have stayed at over 20 VRBO's. Beach down the road and although the street can be a bit busy it was still quiet. Great location for getting around including Halifax not being that far away. Good communication and stocked kitchen.

Excellent house, great location, helpful hosts

This house is centrally located for visiting many of the most popular destinations along the South Shore. It is very near several beaches and just a few minutes drive from the restaurants and a grocer in Hubbards. Tastefully furnished and well equipped, it is also thoughtfully supplied for visitors, e.g. boxes of tissue paper and night lights in every room. The hosts respond quickly and are most helpful.

This house was spacious, immaculate; beautifully decorated with comfortable beds and an amazing view of the ocean! I loved watching the sunrise every morning.

Perfect family getaway

Our family of five stayed here over the Thanksgiving weekend and had a wonderful stay. The place is comfy and there is plenty of lounging space for all of us. Love having all the games and books. The kitchen is very well equipped (the best we have had after renting many places over the years.) There is so much to explore in this area. Doug and Kelly are great hosts!

About the host

Hosted by Doug and Kelly

Host profile image
We are two Canadians currently living in the US and purchased this home as a summer rental and getaway for ourselves. We are frequent travelers who have rented many properties and love this style of travel. Important features we look for when we travel are comfortable beds, ample and comfortable lounging spaces, a well equipped kitchen (we love to cook,.. and eat of course), an ambiance for relaxation, a convenient location, and cleanliness. Our goal was to make our place exceptional in these areas and we think we have accomplished that. We are very familiar with the Halifax area and are happy to answer any questions or make any suggestions that may make your visit better. We welcome you to our home.

Why they chose this property

This area has a great significance to us as Atlantic Canadians. We both spent some of our university years here and we hope to retire in the area.
The surrounding community and oceanfront living has a vibe that goes perfect with relaxation and a glass of wine. The city of Halifax is close by as are many small towns with a great taste of Nova Scotia character. We feel this area is a great representation of what Nova Scotia really is and are happy to share it with those who want to experience the Atlantic Canada culture. We are very proud of this slice of Canada and hope you enjoy it to its fullest.

What makes this property unique

We loved the ocean views, the large living room, and the views from the bedroom windows. The ocean waves are heard throughout the house. Mornings here are a freshness and a tranquility that's hard to explain unless you experience it.
