The space:
We bought this cottage in 2008 as a gathering place for our family. We have always dreamed of owning a cottage right on the ocean and we are excited to share it with you. It is a place of gathering, connecting and sharing, where friends and family can come together to refuel, step away from the demands of everyday life, and build lasting memories together.

The open concept kitchen, living and dining room invite conversation and cozy relaxation by the wood fireplace. Enjoy dinners around the diner table, with plenty more room for dining and conversation around the large kitchen island or curl up in the family room with a good book from our library, or play a game together from our game selection.

The cottage can comfortably sleep 8 guests (7 adults and 1 child). There are three bedrooms and one common sleeping area. The primary bedroom has a queen sized bed and an en-suite bathroom that includes a full bath, washer and dryer. The second bedroom has a double bed and is next to a full 3 piece bathroom. The third bedroom has a double bed. The common room has a double/single bunk bed. All bedrooms offer quiet comfort, cozy duvets, and pillows inviting you to settle in and get comfortable. There are extra towels and basic amenities available.

***All linens, duvet covers and shams are freshly washed and pressed between guests. Extra care is taken to clean and disinfect commonly touches areas and surfaces.

***The Cape has a digital key pad for entry, which offers guests a contact free self check in and check out.

Take advantage of this opportunity to unwind and enjoy the charm of our community, Prospect Village, Peggy’s Cove and all the area has to offer.

Guest access:
The Cape has WiFi and good cell service. Guest have full access to everything the home and property have to offer.

Other things to note:
We expect that our home will be treated with care and left in the condition it was found. There is no smoking permitted inside. No parties or events are allowed. Only guests booked into the reservation are allowed on the property.

We have a hot tub for our guests to enjoy. It will comfortably fit 4-6 adults. Please let us know if you would like to use it and it will be set up and hot for you when you arrive. There is a $60 surcharge for the use of the hot tub.

We look forward to sharing our cottage with you for a family vacation, a friend’s weekend away, or quiet couples escape.

From the time we booked, it was easy to ask questions and get recommendations on places to see, do, and eat. The property itself is stunning and had plenty to keep us happy even when not out exploring. I loved the location and the ease to travel to Halifax, lunenburg, peoggys cove and more. The beds and pillows are just ok as they're super thin or overstuffed. It wouldn't stop me from rebooking, hopefully in the summer in the warmer weather. The hosts are great. The space is great.

We spent an amazing week at this well appointed, private, nature filled property. Cheryl the owner was incredibly responsive to any little questions we had while we were there. We enjoyed it all! Kayaking, hot tubbing, BBQing, games, relaxing, and a great base for excursions in NS. ❤️❤️

The place was everything we hoped for. Lots to do in the area and close enough to Halifax. Owners checked in regularly to see if we needed anything and couldn’t be more accommodating. Lots of toys and water activities offered at the house too. Perfect place for families!
