A Beautiful Waterfront 2BDR Home in Protected and Picturesque, Herring Cove NS.

ITS ALL ABOUT THE VIEW... and what a view it is!
Here is a Beautiful waterfront property in protected and picturesque, Herring Cove.
This charming, 2 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bathroom home has been completely renovated over the last few years with an updated kitchen and bathroom.
The spacious patio has tons of room for entertaining, or kick up your feet, relax and breath in the salty air and calming vibes of the cove.
With your own private wharf and float you have the convenience to hop on a boat, if you have one, and take a tour of the bay on a whim.
The quiet community of Herring Cove is a short 15 minutes commute from Halifax, yet you'll feel miles away.

Fantastic location and place to stay. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed for our stay in Nova Scotia. It was cozy and comfortable and Elias reached out a few times to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. We stayed for a week in November and would imagine it's only better in the summer when you can enjoy the deck.
