Spent a wonderful three days here. Its a gorgeous, remote location to get away from it all!

What a unique location this was. Located on a small island and one of only a few places around. A hidden gem. The owner, Phil, lives right across the road and was available and helpful with all needs. The house itself was great with newer appliances and all was all was very clean. This place is right on the ocean in a small little bay that was very beautiful for swimming and snorkeling. That being said, it is a rocky shoreline and not the easiest to enter the water, especially at low tide. It would not be a good spot for little kids, however, there are many nice beaches within a 10 minute drive. Traveling around the south shore attractions was east from this location and there were tonnes of things to see with an hours drive in either direction. I would not hesitate to return to this place in the future.

Have a very relaxing stay at the red roof cottage. Phil and his family were great hosts and always willing to help. The scenery was amazing.

Incredible location! Wonderful house !

If you are looking for a relaxing get away spot with the sound of the ocean to accompany your day but with all the commodities of a modern home (no tv, good thing) then look no further!

We loved everything about our stay! We were at the red roof for two nights and wish we would of booked a week! The views are wonderful. The location is peaceful and quiet with amazing wildlife views! We saw seals, birds, jumping fish, etc. We arose early to colorful and beautiful sunrises! The house is open and full of light and clean! We cooked in the kitchen both nights and everything we needed was there. Wish we had time for an outside fire and to use the grill. Phil and Catherine are awesome hosts and people! Friendly, welcoming and helpful! We cant wait to go back to the Red Roof and to visit our new "host" friends! If you are looking to be with nature, this is the right place!

The house and location are just incredible! The communication with the owners was great and we so enjoyed the property and location! Would highly recommend!

Beautiful views, accommodating host and easy access to the sites.

My Sister, Nephew and I go on an annual trip to the beaches. This year did not dissapoint - Beautiful and tranquil. Phil met us and told us of places to swim and explore on foot from the cottage. Enjoyed sitting out back by the water, playing games on the large dining room table, relaxing and reading books and cooking in a well supplied kitchen. Normally we do take aways but with the view and beautiful kitchen it was enjoyable to cook. We enjoyed Bayswater and Queensland Beaches. Bayswater is only 12 mins away so we went three times! It would be a great place to bring your bike and kayak! I definitely would have enjoyed those activities as well. Remember a pair of sneakers (my sister didn't) as you will want to walk around and explore!

The cottage is exactly as described in the pictures. Very clean and spacious for a family of four to play board games, read a book, or just relax watching the waves crashing on the shore. Phil was very responsive before and during the stay and love to come again on our next vacation in Nova Scotia.

If you need to unplug, stare at the ocean and recharge your battery in front of a crackling fire- look no further than the Red Roof to take a time out. You couldn’t ask for better hosts!! We can’t wait to go back and miss it already.

Beautiful secluded spot on the cove, amazing sunrises, great walking trails along the bay. Had a nice relaxing stay, and will hopefully be able to visit again.

This was just a wonderful stay, and we enjoyed so much the location, the house itself and our contact with the owner - we'd love to come back...

We had a wonderful stay! The view is amazing and the house is lovely. It was so relaxing and peaceful. The hosts are very helpful and made our visit to their home easy and comfortable. Helped track down fresh lobsters off the boat! Delicious. Grateful for their kindness and welcoming us into their home. Hope for a return visit! Thank you Phil and Catherine

My mother, sister and I stayed at the house for a girls’ weekend away. It was perfect! The house was bright and clean; our host, Phil, was very responsive and made the stay a pleasure. I would definitely recommend the Red Roof for a relaxing getaway.

The view is beautiful, the location is far away from just about everything. We had to drive 30 to 40 miles to get to a decent restaurant. It was November, so off season I'm sure, but still the drive to Peggy's cove is 40 miles. Next decent shore town is Lunenburg, which is about 35 miles. No TV, which was advertised, no radio. It you want to get in touch with nature, this is the place. Also, and most important, there are 3 beds basically on the floor with wood around them, very very uncomfortable. Pillows were so thin, I had to use 4 or 5 just to get some comfort. The fourth bed which is off the floor somewhat is still very uncomfortable. I told Phil the owner, these beds have got to go. Maybe he doesn't realize how uncomfortable they are unless he slept in one. Don't get me wrong, Phil was very nice and pleasant, nothing to do with him personally. I just think people should know what they are getting into before they rent. I am shocked that the previous reviews never mentioned the beds and pillows. Honestly couldn't wait to get home to sleep in my own bed. I also mentioned to Phil that the Wi-Fi in the house should be free because it's not costing him a penny for us to use. It's off of his internet in his house. I told him you are nickel and diming people at $10.00 per day for internet. Thank God for Wifi, if not, we would probably have lost are minds. At least you can stream with the Wi-Fi to watch something. Unless perfect solitude is your thing, then maybe no internet service works for you. P.S. Pick up groceries at Sobey's in Tatallion about 20 Miles away. Joe H Delaware

This was just what we needed. Celebrating our anniversary at this property was perfect. Waterfront on St. Margaret's Bay, we witnessed jumping Tuna fish and seals, and on land, just a few feet from us, deer. There is a unique, quiet road in, suitable for hikes, and there are trails on the property as well. The property is very nice with updated appliances and it sports a wood burning fireplace with unlimited wood. Within 5 kms of our property, we enjoyed a round of golf at Aspotogan Ridge Golf Course, and 20 mins away is the best Seafood Chowder ever at the Tuna Blue Inn. The property owners, Phil and Catherine are very "down to earth", easy going. Very nice for our first experience using Vrbo. I would highly recommend this property, 5 stars for sure!

This property was a perfect place to get away with friends. Phil was accommodating but not overbearing. It is located centrally to Peggy’s Cove and Lunenburg making both accessible for enjoyable side trips when you are not exploring this island and the beauty it offers. It has become the identifying ideal of Nova Scotia for us!

We enjoyed everything from the majestic ocean sounds and views to the cozy fireplace. Our only regret is that our trip itinerary didn’t allow us more time there. Phill was super responsive to any questions we had. We loved exploring the island

We enjoyed a great four day stay here. The host and his family were very accommodating and helpful, particularly as we arrived just after Hurricane Fiona. The best but was the wildlife, we saw and photographed deer, foxes, raccoons, eagles, ducks, cormorants and a giant tuna leaping out of the sea. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice property.

Gorgeous beach front house with amazing views. Friendly hosts-would definitely recommend 10/10!

Perfect getaway when we only had a couple of days. Did not miss a television or any electronic devices as the outdoors invited us to spend our time enjoying the beautiful property, awesome weather and quiet time. We like our privacy and certainly had that too, but knowing our very friendly and welcoming hosts were only a few minutes away offered peace of mind.

There is much that I can say but honestly, it is far better to experience the lovely tranquility of The Red Roof. The house is lovely, airy and bright but manages to stay cosy. The location is convenient, if you want to visit all that the area has to offer. The hosts are kind, diligent and helpful. The view is wonderful... an amazing gem of a vacation spot.

The Red Roof is everything you would want in a home away from home! Roomy but intimate at the same time. The views are spectacular and make you never want to leave! Thank you Phil for a very special anniversary trip!

If your looking for a place to unplug, unwind, relax and enjoy exploring the peaceful surroundings this is the place to be. our Host family were very welcoming helpful and friendly.

We have stayed in the area a few times before but this property is by far the best vacation spot. The house is bright and clean throughout, the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals, and the views are spectacular. This is the perfect place to get far away from the busy world and enjoy the ocean in all its splendor. We saw so much wildlife while just sitting on the lawn in our beach chairs. We were lulled to sleep each night by the gentle sound of the waves. Our only regret is that we didn't book a longer stay, which we will do for next time. Thank you, Phil, for being a delightful host. We enjoyed every minute of our time at Red Roof.

The Red Roof is a little piece of paradise. The pictures on the vrbo website are exactly what it looks like and even more beautiful. The website is easy to navigate. The hosts are wonderful! We loved everything!

This was our fourth visit to the Red Roof. We absolutely love the view and the hospitality from Phil, Catherine and family. Already booked for next summer!

What a beautiful location and property! We had a wonderful time fishing, site seeing, watching the sea lions from the porch and falling asleep to the crashing waves on the rocks. The hosts were amazing! Thanks Phil and Cathy for a truly wonderful get away! So many great things about this place, too many to mention them all. We wished for “one more night”!!

Property overall is a wow! Beautiful home right on the water with everything you could need for a great vacation. Large kitchen if you decide to cook. Home is filled with light and great views from almost every room. Front porch is a great place to relax, read and enjoy a glass (or 2) of wine while enjoying the wildlife in the cove. We saw a seal, many seabirds, also deer and a woodchuck. Phil was a great host and we enjoyed chatting with him. Many restaurants fairly close by. Easy travel to both Halifax and Lunenberg. We both enjoyed our stay!

Amazing to wake up on the oceanfront and enjoy the beautiful property! Phil was attentive and helpful during our stay.
