Lovely stay! The owner has obviously taken a lot of care to make the cottage comfortable, very well stocked and with an inviting coastal Scandinavian vibe. She was VERY responsive, including adjusting the method of entry to accommodate us. We really enjoyed the view and the quiet (we were pleased that road noise was not a problem). Recommend!

Beautiful property! Great views of the bay behind the house. The house is well appointed with coffee maker and cooking utensils. Beautiful and comfortable deck just off the water. Didn’t use the fire pit or hot tub but both appeared to be nice. Very nice kayaks available for exploring the bay. Fishing in the bay was good as well. Very conveniently located between Peggy’s Cove and Halifax.

Us four guests just kept throwing out the absolute pluses of this property:Everything was convenient! Everything is in the house and we never had to search for something. Everything is well thought out and provided for us. Host was very responsive! The hot tub provides a million dollar view. The deck was lovely when the sun came out. The kayaks are a great way to have some fun on the ocean. King size beds were lovely! Not a complaint-we got what we paid for and it was worth it!!

Amazing sprawling views of gorgeous NS coastline. A beautifully and thoughtfully decorated cottage with great space for our young family. The hot tub was much appreciated during our winter stay. Lovely details and quality items throughout, giving a touch of luxury in a natural rugged location. Thanh is such a responsive and attentive host. Worth the splurge! Especially in such a great location between Halifax and attractions like Peggys Cove and Lunenberg.

We had so much fun! The set up of the house was great for 2 couples and a toddler. Our daughter loved walking down to the little beach right off the property and we even caught a few fish off the dock. Thank you so much for sharing your home!

Magical spot for family vacation

We loved the Vic, it is the ideal location for traveling to Halifax, Peggy's Cove and Lunenburg. Eventhough the weather was bad, the cottage had enough games and entertainment that my 11 and 12 year olds didn't get bored.

Amazing cottage on the ocean

The pictures can’t show how beautiful and peaceful this cottage is. The host couldn’t be more accommodating. The space is clean and very well appointed. I must compliment on the decor and furnishings. We had a fabulous three days here. Wish we could stay longer and next time we will.

This location is perfect! Close drive to Peggy’s Cove. House is spotless and house and the hot tub views are amazing. Be sure to eat at Martins Kitchen or Rhubarb. Both a short drive from the house.
