About this house rental

Welcome to this hidden gem on Owls Head Island, nestled in the captivating Aspotogan Peninsula. Here, you will discover the ultimate sanctuary to unwind, reconnect, and embark on new adventures.

Immerse yourself in the tranquillity of your private four-bedroom house perched by the ocean's edge. As the eastern-facing side of the house greets the ocean, you'll witness breathtaking sunrises accompanying your morning coffee or refreshing mojito on the deck.

From the deck, gaze across the sprawling lawn, where the magnificent St. Margarets Bay unfolds before your eyes. On the horizon, the picturesque Shut-in Island and Hacketts Cove create a mesmerizing backdrop.

With just eight properties on the island, solitude, seclusion, and privacy are yours to embrace, ensuring an uninterrupted escape from the world.

Please note that if you plan to extend your stay beyond 27 days, kindly inquire about the specific regulations in my province, as regulations change after 28 days.

To maintain a harmonious environment, I request that all guests respect my policy regarding unregistered visitors.

When booking, the guest numbers must include every person in your group. To clarify, a baby is a person, a toddler is a person, and a child is a person. If the person is over two years of age, I charge an extra guest fee of $47.

Bringing unregistered guests, even for the day, can lead to unnecessary complications, an unpleasant experience, additional fees, or, in all likelihood, immediate booking cancellation without a refund. As I reside across the road, attempts to circumvent this policy are futile—honesty is always appreciated.

For everyone's peace of mind, I conduct a comprehensive video recording of the entire property, inside and out, before your check-in. This time-stamped footage safeguards both guests and the owner in the unlikely event of any damages.

Lastly, please be aware that the government mandates that you include the HST tax in your stay. We apologize for any inconvenience this requirement causes.

Don't worry, you will have a spectacular time here. If you have any questions, you can call or text me at (902)452-5469, email me at [email protected] or visit https://holidaynovascotia.com/redroof

This is a beautiful house in a gorgeous location. My granddaughter and I loved the views of the cove and the bay, and the location is great for day trips to other areas of south-central Nova Scotia. We were delighted to have a visitor one morning while having breakfast: a seal appeared in the cove, directly in front of the house, and we watched it for nearly an hour. Along with the various sea birds, and the beautiful views all around, we simply loved the place. It is very comfortable, peaceful, and secluded. Phil is an excellent host, ready with recommendations for restaurants and helpful advice. Red Roof is an outstanding place for a getaway vacation in Nova Scotia.

We had such a great time here in 2021 on a work retreat that we came back in 2024. The cottage was great and secluded. The small beach down the road is wonderful and the sunrises are unforgettable!

If you like going off the beaten path and taking the road less travelled…then this is absolutely the sanctuary you are looking for! A private cove with no neighbours to speak of this place is perfect to escape the frenetic pace of the world. It is perfectly situated to easily get to places like Halifax, Peggy’s cove, Lunenburg and mahone Bay. The house is well cared for and very clean, the kitchen is decently outfitted. The host met us promptly and gave us all kinds of tips for the area and showed us around. He was quick to answer text questions and super helpful. Thanks for a wonderful place to stay!

This property is exactly as described and much more. The location is remote, quiet, and an amazing view. Perfect for seeing the sunrise and disconnecting from your normal day today. It was also very clean. Phil was incredibly responsive, helpful and a wonderful host. I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a place that is off the beaten path.

I cannot express how absolutely gorgeous the property is! My three young adult kids actually gasped when we turned into the driveway and saw the view. Very comfortable home, clean and accommodating and Phil was a great host! The area is quiet and remote but close enough to sites like Peggy's Cover for a day trip. Highly recommend this property!! The only thing we had some confusion over was the laundry situation. Listing states a washer and dryer so we just assumed we could do our own load when we arrived. However, the are not for guest use - laundry is available as an added service which we thought could be an add on if we didn't feel like doing our own. No big deal but jsut be aware! :) Thanks Phil for a fabulous stay! Will never forget my afternoon watchin two seals frolic right in front of the house!

So restful and an astoundingly gorgeous location. Couldn't be happier with the stay, the house, the area, and Phil gave such good advice! We had a glitch with the stove (our problem, not the stove) and he popped over to straighten us out in a flash. Finding the place in the dark was a bit of a challenge; if you have cell coverage, it should be fine. Otherwise, it is wise to examine a map very carefully before you set off (in the dark).
