About this house rental

Welcome to Marshwind!
Winter Monthly Rentals Available - message for more info.
Before booking spring/summer please send me a note via the messages.

A great place for a couple to spend a relaxing, quiet week on the coast.

Located in the historic fishing village of Prospect, perched on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean - where crashing waves, granite rocks and wildlife surround you.

Open the door and you are just a few feet from the ocean's edge. Enjoy ocean views from every window in the home.

Stay inside and watch the tide ebb & flow from a comfy chair or venture out for one of the many coastal-trail or in-land hikes. Don't forget your camera, you will see beauty in the amazing vistas & abundant wildlife. Marvel at how plants and trees cling to the exposed granite coast.
Interested in birds? You will be able to add many coastal and ocean bird species to your list. Birds often make a stop in our backyard during their migrations in the fall & spring. Winter brings an abundance of Northern ducks.

Bring your kayaks or rent from a local outfitter - launch them from the boat ramp in your back-yard and explore some of the best kayaking coastline in Eastern Canada - shipwrecks, deserted islands and lighthouses are just waiting for you to discover.

Marshwind is perfect for a couple looking to get away from it all and enjoy some peace at the seaside - while still being close enough to it all for day-trips to Nova Scotia's attractions.

In 2012 Marshwind, was used as a set location for the Hallmark movie 'Christmas with Holly'.

This was a beautiful property situated on a quiet street populated by deer! The house had everything we needed and more. We enjoyed watching the tide come in and out daily from the back porch. Sunset is across the way, and worth the trip! Communication with Meagan was easy and timely. The views from the kitchen and bedrooms were spectacular! We hope to stay again!

Prospect Village is at land's end, where one can observe the tides come and go in their infinite variation, the land and diverse wildlife beautifully integrated. I particularly enjoyed the fog and all its mystery and stillness. The house was spacious and refined, the kitchen well equipped. Very comfortable sleeping. Easy access to the city and other parts of Peggy's Cove area. A good home base for more adventuresome day trips as well. We had a memorable time exploring near and far. All greatly appreciated! It would be a great pleasure to return.

Absolutely stunning home for our week long holiday. Everything we needed was provided by our wonderful hosts. Beautiful views from every window, but especially from the back deck. The bedrooms were spacious, and the beds were amazing to sleep on. Highly recommend to anyone looking to visit Nova Scotia to stay at Marshwind as it was such a perfect, peaceful and welcoming home. The location was great and so wonderful to come home to after a long day of sightseeing.

We absolutely loved our stay at Marshwind. It is a beautiful house and property with everything you could need. We loved early mornings looking out over the water and the coastal hike was great! Meagan provided many helpful suggestions which we were able to take advantage of. We were able to easily travel to Lunenburg and Peggy’s Cove, as well as to Halifax for supper one evening. This was our first trip to the East Coast and our holiday was wonderful thanks in large part to our stay at Marshwind. We would love to stay again and would not hesitate to recommend to others!

This was our second stay at this wonderful property and if we could rate it higher than a 5, we definitely would! It is clean, perfectly appointed and tastefully decorated. And that would be enough to give it a 5 star rating. But oh, the views!! From every room of the house!! The darling little fishing village of Prospect Bay is idyllic. Straight out of a novel. And the neighbors were delightful! Just a hop and a skip from great restaurants in Halifax and Peggy's Cove. We drove 2+ days each way to stay here for 7 days. 5 days of driving for a 7 day stay. And it was worth every mile. Just wish we had longer. But thankful for the time we had! Thank you Meagan and Scott for sharing this beautiful spot!

This cottage was immaculate and inviting. Every room had something unique to offer for relaxation or recreation. Every window had a view of the stunning and tranquil surroundings. The sunny days were vibrant and alive. The foggy or rainy days were charming and inspiring. Local residents were friendly and hospitable. We'd love to stay again!

We had a wonderful stay at Marshwind! So peaceful in a small welcoming community. Astonishing walk along the coast to see the sunset, not far from all we needed. The house is well equiped for everything we needed and the communication with Meagan and Scott super efficient. We really appreciated our stay!
