We had a wonderful stay in absolutely every respect! The property was located within walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, shops and the water. Great place to relax and enjoy the area or to use as a home base to see nearby towns and attractions! The property itself was extremely clean and well stocked. The hosts are lovely people who were available and were happy to provide information and suggestions regarding the area.

A very last minute booking - literally the next day! Kelly was an excellent communicator, answering any questions we had. It was a perfect stay for us, close enough to be able to walk into town and try the restaurant recommendations from Kelly. We had plenty of space and everything was spotless. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again or to recommend for a stay in Mahone Bay - we loved it!

This stay exceeded our expectations! The space was perfect for our family of four—spacious, well-organized, and beautifully decorated with modern touches and nice furnishings. The home is fairly new, and the hosts, who live in the back half, were friendly and respectful of our privacy. They were also quick to help with anything we needed. The house is on a quiet street but within walking distance to all the great little shops and restaurants in Mahone Bay. Highly recommend!

A real gem in Mahone Bay

This is an adequately spacious, supremely clean, beautifully decorated apartment – part of a larger house. The owners, who live next door, are extremely friendly, easy to communicate, responsive, ready to help if help or advice is needed, but also offering plenty of privacy. The space is well equipped with everything one may need for shorter or longer stay with plenty of supplies (towels, toilet paper, soaps etc.) very well equipped kitchen, large bathroom and living area. Although a single adult stayed in the apartment, it can easily accommodate a small family. The location is very convenient- a quiet side street within easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, grocery store. We would gladly rent it again and are highly recommending it!
