What a great place to sit, relax and enjoy the view. We loved our week here. Watching deer at breakfast was an added bonus.

What an absolutely wonderful place. Beautiful views of the bay, sunsets, boats and local wildlife. Centrally located to all the must see places yet private and quiet for lots of relaxing on the front deck. Everything you need and more in this well appointed and supplied cottage on the ocean. Nick was an awesome host and made sure that everything was perfect for our arrival. We will absolutely be back. You will not be disappointed with this place!
5.0
Everything was very clean. All we would need while there was available. The view was amazing. Seeing the deer family almost every day was pretty special. Not too far to many lovely attractions, and when back at the cottage, it .was to a world of relaxation. We had our bedroom windows open at night and the breeze was perfect for sleeping. The cottage size was perfect for us, but could have a family as there were 3 bedrooms and
would be very comfortable. I would love to return for another visit. It was nice to get to meet Nick.

What a beautiful place to unwind and relax with our family. We love the outdoors, and spent most of it outside. The beach, deer, and other local wildlife was amazing. Close to amenities if you need them.
We would definitely recommend picking up some lobster from ryers lobsters and cooking them at the cottage. Yummy yum.

The cottage is lovely. Beautiful spot right overlooking the water. All the amenities and more were present and the welcome basket was an amazing touch. We'll be back !

Property was as described, clean with a breath taking view into St Margaret's Bay. Being here on a business trip it was convenient to the local yacht club where we ran training from. The BBQ was an added bonus enabling to enjoy some awesome evening meals.

Just as advertised! Wow what a great location. Very clean, very well equipped pots pans dishes linens, I love to cook and found everything I needed for our 19 day stay. Paper products cleaning products, But really what impressed was the wildlife. A seagull who had 3 crabs for breakfast on the beach directly in front of us, two pair of Canada geese with a combined 10 chicks, a pair of ducks with 5 ducklings and a beautiful pair of bald eagles. every day great blue herons fishing for our enjoyment, a sea otter, cormorants fishing all just amazing, And finally Nick our host was great we had a small glitch with wi-fi and he immediately got us a call from the provider, Done. Very responsive. n

We loved the everchanging view and colourful sunsets through the front windows. Deer, ducks and geese visited. The cottage was well stocked and comfortable. As soon as we arrived, Nick was on the phone asking if we needed anything. His welcome basket was most thoughtful. It was easy to drive to the grocery store in one direction and to Peggy's Cove in the other. It was the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday and access to my art workshops.
5.0
This property is well situated for visiting Halifax and much of the south shore area. It's located in a private, quiet neighbourhood. The cottage is cozy and the host is more than helpful. A very enjoyable stay!

Spotless, roomy cottage with a gorgeous view and very thoughtful details including books, games, pantry essentials, and lovely welcome basket. Easy to get to Peggy’s Cove, Halifax, and other attractions. Owner very responsive and easy to communicate with. One of our best NS trips! Thanks very much, Nick.

This was a great place to stay for our family vacation, very quiet and relaxing. Close enough to town for shopping close enough to peggy’s cove to visit as often as you want!

Thank you so much Nick! We had another amazing week at your beautiful spot. Arriving to a spotless cottage, with a welcome basket, and a view that can’t be matched, was the start to a wonderful week. We can’t wait to return again next summer.

We loved this vrob in Peggys Cove. The beach is perfect for kids to play and swim. The cottage is modern and roomy. Close to everthing we wanted to explore this time in Nova Scotia 💕 Great hosts and a great time had at Saint Margarets Bay!

Comfortable stay in a great location very convenient for trips to Halifax, Peggy’s Cove and Lunenburg. Friendly and readily available host. Really loved Shaw’s Landing restaurant nearby, as well as treats from White Sail. Was lucky to be there during the annual Peggy’s Cove Festival of the Arts. Note the small beach is not private and on nice days will be visited by others.

My husband and I stayed for a week along with my parents and two young children. The views from the whole front of the cottage were amazing, you are literally steps from the water. My son (a huge nature enthusiast) was over the moon about the crabs and starfish he found. The cottage was immaculate and we arrived to a welcome basket of yummy foods, much appreciated after driving for 11 hrs!
The location was excellent and allowed us easy access to Halifax, Peggy’s Cove, Lunenberg and others along the south shore. A perfect family getaway ❤️
5.0
This was our second visit to this lovely cottage, first was 6 years ago. A perfect location, with great proximity to Peggy's Cove, Halifax, and of course, Ryer's Lobster! Wonderful restaurants also in the vicinity. Open, airy, fully equipped, and steps to the beach. Wonderful neighbours. Thanks again, Nick!

Very Enjoyable Stay
My husband , myself and our two poodles had a lovely stay in this well equipped, very clean ‘summer home’. Well located for picking up a few incidentals at the grocery stores. Our adult kids stayed the last night and we had a fire on the beach. A welcome basket was left for us brimming with all sorts of goodies. Only downside is that once booked it is 100% non refundable which presents quite a risk if you book 9 months in advance 😉

Relaxing cottage near Peggy’s Cove
Bathroom door handle difficult to open, requires maintenance also door handle on front bayside bedroom. Label of different types of refuse bags would be helpful. Update guest instruction binder for better presentation. TV channel listing would be helpful. Magnificent view. Thought adjoining roads would be noisy but no traffic so very quiet and relaxing environment. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Flawless
This cottage is right on the waterfront, with a great little beach perfect for swimming and beautiful views of St Margaret's Bay all day long. Although it doesn't look too big from the outside, there is plenty of space within, with a large living room/kitchen/dining room and three bedrooms and plenty of mod cons, including washer, dryer, dishwasher, tv and wi-fi. The place is very well looked-after. It's also in a very handy location, with a quick drive to the shops at Upper Tantallon and downtown Halifax just 30 minutes away. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay on the South Shore.
5.0
This property is top notch! The location was perfect for our stay in NS! Couldn't have wanted more!
This super clean cottage had all of the amenities of home! So comfortable and such an amazing location! Quiet little bay on the ocean that is exactly as is pictured! There was even a lovely welcome basket on our arrival!
Responses to any questions were timely, helpful and friendly!
The only thing that could have made it better would have been to stay a week longer!
Thank you Nick!

Great vacation spot
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage. It was great to have a dishwasher and washer dryer. Beautiful views of St. Margaret's Bay. Quiet area many great blue herons and eagles. The cottage is handy for day trips Peggy's Cove is close by and Halifax is within an hour and not much further to Lunenburg. We highly recommend this cottage it is the complete package.

Wonderful week in Seabright
The house was perfect for us, so calm and peaceful and easy access for day trips around NS. We were welcomed with a big basket of wine, cheese, and snacks. The location shown on the VRBO map is a little off, but Nick guided us there over the phone when we arrived . Highly recommend this place!

Lovely stay on St. Margarets Bay!
We had a great week (Aug. 19 -26, 2017) relaxing and doing a little sight seeing. Centrally located between Halifax, Peggy's Cove, Mahone Bay and Lunenburg; it's a great place to stay for doing day trips to most of what's to see in Nova Scotia.
The view from the deck and most of the cottage is superb - a great spot to relax and enjoy a beer or watch the fog roll in!
Nick, the owner, was easy to reach regarding instructions etc and had a small gift basket waiting for us when we arrived.
The cottage was clean and stocked with all the necessities (utensils, pots, towels, linens, spices and condiments).
We had four in our party, but there is room for six in three bedrooms. Our only glitch we realized during our stay was the one bathroom. You'll have to be a very close or well organized family of six to negotiate the bathroom effectively.
The cottage is one level and easily accessible, a big plus for my wife's parents who joined us on this trip.
I would highly recommend this cottage for a family of four, especially with small children. The single level, open floor plan and small cove and beach right outside your door would offer hours of entertainment for the kids.
All in all a great place to stay and we really enjoyed our week in Nova Scotia!

Clean, bright and well equiped
This cottage was very clean upon arrival. There is plenty of room and all the household supplies you would need. The view is so beautiful. We saw cloudy days, sunny days, early morning and sunsets. All gorgeous.

Perfect location
We spent a wonderful week at this cottage. The views of the water are incredible and the property is located close to shopping, Halifax, Peggy's Cove and anywhere else you want to go. My husband and I, son, daughter-in-law, grandson and dog had a wonderful time here. The place is very clean and well equipped. We saw lots of deer! We will definitely plan to rent this spot again.

Perfect location!
We couldn't have found a more charming place on the ocean in a very convenient location close to Halifax and Peggy's Cove! We were able to relax while helping our daughter move into Dalhousie University. The gift basket left for us was an unexpected treat, we were able to eat and refresh before heading out for groceries (only 10 minute drive from the cottage). We enjoyed meeting the friendly neighbours and having campfires on the beach. The highlights were the wildlife and quiet nights listening to the ocean waves and watching the sunsets. The bonus was the White Sails Bakery down the road with plenty of gluten free treats and Montreal smoked meat sandwiches. We will definitely be planning a trip back!
