We travelled to the area to visit nearby family and friends for about 10 days. It was our first time staying in a VRBO home and we were beyond delighted to find ourselves in such a gorgeous spot. Our hosts were so welcoming and kind; we felt right at home. The suite is spacious, clean and quite private, overlooking a calm waterway that’s part of St. Margaret’s Bay. It’s a really special location with the best kind of hosts.It was easy to relax and enjoy sun on the deck or a little paddle in the kayak. Fun for birdwatching, too. The kitchenette was perfect for us - we made simple meals and made use of the barbecue a few times. (There’s also a good takeout place a couple of minute’s drive) The bed was very comfortable and we found it to be quiet at night. Thanks to their warm hospitality, we’ll treasure the memories of our stay at the Blue Heron Hideaway.

Great Host & Stunning View – A Lovely Stay

Our host Chris was nothing short of amazing—friendly, accommodating, and truly kind. The unit is in the lower part of a house, easy to access, and spacious enough for my spouse and our little dog. The view is absolutely beautiful! While we could occasionally hear the homeowners upstairs and some traffic across the bay, it wasn’t a big issue for us, especially since Chris gave us a heads-up when they were expecting guests. We used the place as our home base while exploring Nova Scotia. The only downside was the BBQ—it wasn’t very clean, so we chose not to use it. Still, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, centrally located spot with a great view. Just keep in mind, it may not be the best fit if total peace and quiet is your priority.

Beautiful views of St. Margaret's Bay, with private outdoor terrace, in a quiet, wooded neighborhood. The apartment was well-furnished and equipped for two people, convenient to nearby stores, coffee shops and seaside attractions. Helpful live-in hosts and clear directions made the stay easy.

well located for south shore stay

This rental provides a private, well located place for a short term visit. Access to the unit is by stairs to the back of the main house located on a hill with a lovely water view. The kitchen facilities are somewhat limited but adequate, especially for those out sightseeing most of the time. Aside from noise from those living upstairs over the unit, it is a very comfortable place to stay.

Chris has a beautiful place just outside of Tantallon! Both the sofa bed and bedroom could use new mattress as well as blinds for the living room windows but other than that our stay was fantastic. The view of the bay was spectacular, it was nice to soak in the hot tub each night.

Great location and water views

Convenient location 25 minutes from Peggy’s Cove and 7 minutes from shopping and an express bus to Halifax. Access to the unit is a little tricky with a steep driveway and an outdoor staircase. Excellent water views. The unit was reasonably well- stocked but could use better ventilation and window curtains.

Outstanding, great view and accommodations

We had a great stay at Chris and Stephanie’s VRBO on the water. The one bedroom suite had everything that we were looking for. It was clean, modern and private. It’s proximity to local towns, amenities, recreation and to Peggie’s Cove were great. Thanks Chris and Stephanie! We look forward to our next stay with you and the local blue heron!

Best Hosts Ever!

The property was amazing, the views were stunning and peaceful and the hosts were fabulous!!! What a getaway. We could not have asked for a better situation. The weather wasn't always perfext but that doesn't matter when you have a great space and wonderful hosts :) We saw seals, blue herons and were only a short drive from Halifax. Chris and Stephanie were very helpful and provided us with everything we needed, even lent us their pot and burner to boil our own lobsters outside! Many thanks to our friendly, accomodating hosts!

Nice but LOUD

The property itself was nice, however it is a walkout basement, which we were unaware at time of booking. There was constant noise from foot traffic from the family upstairs which made our stay less peaceful than desired. The unit itself was nice and had most amenities required, although no oven. Nice shower and bed was comfortable. Hosts were unobtrusive and friendly, but you definitely felt their presence as noted above. Would not stay again due to the noise.
