The cabin was adorable and perfectly appointed but what makes this rental spectacular is the setting and the view. The cabin sits in a secluded area on the water with a lovely and comfortable outdoor space that features a fire pit, huge comfortable Adirondack chairs and a long private pier out over the water. The host is very available, not that there were any issues, but it’s nice to know in case something stopped working.

Such a sweet cottage with absolutely every amenity available. Comfortable sleeping arrangements and a fabulous view (watching the lobster traps being pulled in was our entertainment one quiet morning). Great value and easy access to Halifax or Peggy’s Cove. Fabulous stay!

We enjoyed our stay in this little cottage on the bay. We prefer to stay a bit remote and this checks the box. It’s right on Prospect Bay, but also has nice tree coverage for good privacy. A few things from our stay that might be helpful when renting this cottage. There were fun amenities like a boombox with a nice selection of CDs and cassettes (a flashback for sure!) and a fire-pit (though we didn’t use it). We sat outside on the deck and the dock watching the wildlife including a mama American black duck with her 5 ducklings, a bald eagle, a gray seal, and osprey. The house was very clean. The owner was very helpful and responded quickly. The house is decorated with a cool collection of vintage furniture and lots of cottage-kitsch, which can make it hard to utilize the space to set your own belongings. A fun place to stay and would definitely book again when in the area.

This is a great location for exploring the south coast - 1/2 hour or so from Halifax and Peggy's Cove. It's right on the water, very calm, lots of birds. The accommodations are excellent, good space inside, well equipped and great deck areas. Excellent spot for a small family or two couples.
