About this cottage rental

Rock Haven Cottage faces the Atlantic Ocean near the entrance to McGraths Cove boasting it’s own private wharf & floating dock to swim & kayak from.

Like to stay on land? No problem! We have 2 double hammocks overlooking the ocean along with comfortable patio furniture, a picnic table, lawn games & 2 sun loungers great for an oceanside nap. Rock Haven Cottage also has a 24 x 8 covered deck that’s great for taking in a beautiful sunrise or enjoying your favourite drink! Just imagine - looking over the Atlantic Ocean and granite coastline on your private deck while sipping your morning coffee - trust us, it’s as relaxing as it sounds.

The cottage is fully equipped for long-term stays with a fully functioning kitchen. You’ll find a 2 burner propane cooktop, large retro style fridge & freezer, toaster oven, Keurig, and all cooking utensils, pots, pans, and accessories you could ever need during your vacation by the sea. Like to cook outside? We have a brand new BBQ with a side burner. For ease of use, the BBQ is fed propane directly from the cottage’s propane tanks, also ensuring that you’ll never run out while your grilling out!

Rock Haven Cottage has a full bathroom with a spacious walk-in glass shower and large vanity. Enjoy a relaxing night's sleep in either of the 2 queen beds which are found in either bedroom or if you are a party of 5-6 the sofa in the living room can be converted into an expansive king bed.

For your enjoyment we have an 11-foot Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) and 2 kayaks available for your use. Relax and take in the sunshine oceanside in the comfortable loungers on the private wharf deck, a great spot to read a book or have a drink!

Notes:

*at low tide the water is quite shallow, we highly recommend that you never dive off the floating dock at low tide. Adult Life Jackets are available.

*Our family worked very hard to build and design this cottage, we kindly ask that you respect the cottage, property, and its contents so we can keep the cottage in a very clean & functioning order. Please leave all of the cottage’s interior contents inside, do not put cottage items in the ocean. We also ask guests to keep the cottage as clean as possible during their stay. Thank you!

Clean, quiet, picturesque little retreat. Fabulous view of the cove. Just minutes from Peggy's Cove. The double hammocks, front porch, fire pit, dock all make this a great place to stay.. Shower water is temperamental but overall I recommend this place to any couple looking for a relaxing stay.

This property was amazing in all aspects. It was clean, welcoming, and had great views. It is located only minutes away from Peggy’s Cove and a short drive to Halifax. Our stay was very nice and cannot wait to come back.

We were looking for a scenic, oceanfront vacation rental to start our trip in Nova Scotia and we were not disappointed. The only thing we did not like was having to leave. The cottage was super clean, with a well stocked kitchen area that met all our needs. The cottage is positioned to take in the wonderful views of McGrath's Cove and be completely private. We enjoyed the ocean views from inside the cottage, from the covered deck, from the fire pit patio, and from the rocks in front of the cottage. Memorable views from every angle.

My aunt had a friend who stayed here. I looked at it online and fell in love with it. I had to stay there and I just did. It is private, steps from the ocean, so clean and comfy and beautiful inside and out. I would love to go back, just when it's warmer so I can enjoy the outside amenities more.
