About this property

Oceanfront 2BR Private Apartment

Beautiful 2 BR Apartment, fully equipped Kitchen, W/D for a short or extended stay and offers a stunning view of the ocean just off the balcony with BBQ, and private sitting area to watch the sunrise or just to relax and enjoy. Inside you can relax in air-conditioned comfort on those hot days, or curl up next to the electric fireplace on the cold nights while watching your favorite movie.
The centerpiece of the apartment for me is the walk-in shower with engraved glass panels. These etchings were created by a local artist and are one of a kind hand-sketched and feature the Bluenose and the Peggy's Cove Lighthouse, 2 of our most famous attractions here in Nova Scotia.
Kayaks available onsite complimentary, private island tours provided by the host are optional with advance reservations
You will have access to local shops and cafes, as well as the rails to trails walking path just across the street.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

We had a great time staying here. We were traveling all over the east coast and this was a great place to stay while having easy access to Nova Scotia and some of the sights. Everything you need is provided. The managers are super friendly and helpful. Couldn’t have asked for better accommodations.

Maritime memories

My wife and I were very happy with the property. The view from the windows and balcony were beautiful and certainly reflected Maritime life. From the fishing and sail boats docked on the property to watching the paddle boarders and walking to the private beach. While watching the fog roll into the bay we really felt immersed into what Nova Scotia rural scenery had to offer. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful.

This was an amazing property. The hosts live right next-door and it’s on Saint Margaret’s Bay. Steve and Johane were very attentive hosts and every question we asked or if we needed something they were right there for us. They recommended several restaurants, told us about some of the things in the area and Steve even took us out for an evening boat cruise to see the around the bay. I highly recommend this property for anybody who wants to stay in the area. And we would definitely come back again. Thank you, Steve and Johane! 5 star property for sure!!!

Our stay was really amazing. The view of the water and boats was so nice and we were close to everything we wanted to do in the Halifax area for our stay. The apartment is spacious, beds were comfortable and the dishwasher was great to have. It is close to the road and you do hear trafic passing by but with windows closed and the AC, we could hear it less. The highlight of our stay was when Steve and Johanna took time in the evening to bring us and our teenager who loves fishing out on the sea for a boat ride and some fishing. Our child still talks about it and he just adored it. Thank you again to both of you for doing this, it was amazing!
