About this cottage rental

Welcome to the Vík! Located directly on the ocean in beautiful Bayside, Nova Scotia. The cottage is spacious and bright, offering the perfect blend of Scandinavian inspired design and the rustic charm of Nova Scotia. Conveniently located a short 20 minutes to Halifax, 30 minute drive from downtown Halifax and 40 minutes from the Halifax Stanfield International Airport. The Vik is the perfect place to getaway and relax, explore, and make memories with your family and friends year round.

The Vík is perfect for an east coast family getaway—come enjoy panoramic ocean views from the patio and sit by the fire with the ocean at your side. Only minutes away from Granite Springs Golf Course and a quick 15 minute drive to explore Nova Scotia’s most iconic destination, Peggy’s Cove and nearby beaches.

Arriving at the Vík:
Upon arrival, you will be able to use the keyless entry which is integrated to unlock and lock the cottage with ease during your stay. You will enter our bright and airy sunroom where you will have a space to leave your footwear and hang your coat if you please.

The Kitchen:
This is an open concept space and has all of the amenities that you will need to cook a memorable meal for your loved ones. Here is where you will find options for your morning cup of coffee (Nespresso/French Press) or tea and enjoy the panoramic ocean views. The kitchen opens into the dining and living room area which boasts vaulted ceilings with wood beams.

The Dining/Living Room:
The highlight of this space is the view of the water and here is where you can access the back covered porch and large uncovered patio. The vaulted ceilings and loads of natural light create the perfect space to sit back, relax, and enjoy the view. The heat pump is located in the living room so you can keep cool in the summer and cozy in the winter.

The Bedrooms:
The primary bedroom on the main level has a king bed with crisp white linens and a selection of king-sized pillows for your choosing. This bedroom features a window with water views so you can wake up to the ocean each morning.

The second bedroom on the main level is a child's dream and has a twin over double bunk bed with a twin pull out trundle. This room would be perfect for up to four kids (on all three levels) or two adults in the double bed (*see notes below). The vaulted ceilings in this space gives the kiddos on the top bunk plenty of room to move around.

The lower level bedroom is large and has a king bed with crisp white linens and a selection of king-sized pillows for your choosing. This space has a little nook with a bench and a large closet.

The Bathrooms:
On the main level you will find a full bathroom with a large walk-in shower complete with a eucalyptus bundle for a refreshing shower. On the lower level of the cottage you will find another full bathroom that is centrally located. Both bathrooms are stocked with the essentials that you may need during your stay.

The Family Room:
On the lower level you will find a cozy and bright family room with a large sectional where you can enjoy quality time with family and friends. We have a selection of puzzles and board games along with a smart TV that you can log into your favourite streaming services.

The Property:
The Vík has 600 feet of direct water frontage for your enjoyment. The large upper patio boasts beautiful ocean views from every angle and is where you will find a BBQ and a large outdoor sectional for your use in the summertime. The lower Oceanside patio has a 6 person salt water hot tub and space for you to take in the ocean views. During the summer season you will find an outdoor shower area and seating in this space as well. Stepping down into the yard, you will find an oceanside fire pit area that would be perfect for evenings of story telling and marshmallow roasting in the summer. Next to the fire pit you will find a set of steps into the bay that would be an ideal spot to launch the kayak or search for sea critters and treasures. The cottage also has a dock on the other side of the property that is perfect for afternoons of catch and release fishing.

**Dock, Kayaks, outdoor seating and outdoor shower are available from May-October only - temperature depending
**A 3% per night Municipal Marketing Levy Tax is included in the listed nightly rates

The view of the bay from the living room and decks was fantastic. The home was immaculate and well provisioned and the host was very quick to respond to questions. Wish we had booked a longer stay.

My husband and I stayed at the Vik for 9 days during the month of August 2024. It is a lovely property and the view of the water is breathtaking. It is in an excellent location, with easy access to Peggy's Cove, Halifax and Lunenburg. We spent many hours -- in between sightseeing outings -- sitting on the porch/deck taking in the beautiful scenery. Every day a harbor seal came to visit us. The house is very modern and has all the amenities. The kitchen is well-stocked and the beds are quite comfortable. I was most impressed with the owner of the property. She was quite responsive to all our requests both before and during our stay. She was extremely helpful and did everything she could to make our stay enjoyable. The one drawback for us at the property were the stairs, to the lower level family room where the only television in the house is located. The stairs are very steep and curved, making it difficult for us to gain access to that area. My husband and I are both in our 70's, with some mobility issues. As a result, we did not make use of the lower living room area at all. I am sure a younger couple and/or family would not have this issue. One other issue for us was the dock. It is not in front of the property but around the corner and a bit of a distance from the house. The dock had a board missing, so we did not feel comfortable using it. But as for the beautiful hot tub, it was a wonderful place to relax and enjoy our surroundings.

We had a relaxing stay at the Vik cottage. It’s in a very quiet area. The cottage has been nicely renovated and it was very clean. We loved the hot tub and fire pit. It’s also right on the water but there’s a fair amount of seaweed if you want to swim. The cottage is right on the main road but we didn’t find there was too much traffic noise. We had no issues but the owner was very responsive and reached out to check in. The only downside was that if you’re looking for places to eat or stores to pick up essentials, it’s a bit of a drive. But that is what makes it quiet. Overall, a great place to stay.

We had a wonderful week at the Vik Cottage celebrating our parents 60th anniversary. Their home was incredibly welcoming, comfortable and clean. It was centrally located to all the sites we wanted to enjoy. Lunenberg, Peggy’s Cove and Halifax. After a long day of site seeing it was great to come back to the cottage and relax in the hot tub. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept extremely well. We will definitely stay here again when we are back in the Halifax area. Thank you Thanh

The cottage was immaculate. The Icelandic decor and amenities were perfect for our family of 5. Our host was wonderful helping with pre arrival arrangements groceries and a much needed libation given our late arrival from the airport. The ocean views were fantastic and the location was perfect for day trips to Halifax and the South Shore all the way to Lunenburg. We would definitely recommend this VRBO to anyone looking for a seaside getaway. We hope to visit again. Thanks Thanh

We loved the Vic, it is the ideal location for traveling to Halifax, Peggy's Cove and Lunenburg. Eventhough the weather was bad, the cottage had enough games and entertainment that my 11 and 12 year olds didn't get bored.
