The Peggy's Cove House - Rocky Road, Peggy's Cove, NS Canada

This house was wonderful for a family vacation. The property was as described and well maintained. The kitchen is quite well equipped, from little things like corkscrews to lobster pot and microwave. Peggy’s Cove is a small fishing village with about 25 year-round residents. During the summer there are several tourists and tour busses. But the house is on a private road, so even in mid-day it is undisturbed.

We were a family group of 5 adults and the one bathroom required some scheduling, but there was always hot water.

The airport is about an hour away. Halifax is 45 minutes. Its about 15 miles to large grocery stores, and there are several small restaurants and diners within 5 to ten miles. Places with many shops and restaurants (Lunnenberg, Mahone Bay and Chester) are all within an easy drive.

To echo an earlier review, if you are looking for nightlife, this is not the place. If quiet hike/walks along a rocky coast, listening to the wind and surf and watching the ocean and small fishing boats are what you are looking for, this is the place; all of this with more “touristy” destinations within an hour’s drive.

Irene was wonderful. She made us feel most welcome and made sure that we had everything we needed, local directions and contact information before she left us.

All of us highly recommend this property, and hope to return soon.

This rental experience was wonderful! The property was as described; comfortable, pleasant and well maintained. The surroundings were interesting. It is a little village where the residents live and work and then tourists walking and cars and tour buses driving up and down the road but there was never an issue with privacy or loud noise or distractions.

We traveled on motorcycles and used the house as our base. You are about 15 miles away from the nearest gas station, there are some restaurants and small specialty stores and diners nearby with a large seafood restaurant at the end of the road. The food was good and it wasn't to expensive. You are about 30 - 45 minutes outside of Halifax, depending on traffic and road construction. The ride is good and once you get the hang of the area, it is also pretty easy.

If you are looking for nightlife, noise and parties, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a clean, comfortable, quiet place to relax and really enjoy the local "flavor", this is the place!

Irene was a wonderful host. Great communications, made us feel welcome on our arrival and made sure that we had contact information before she left us.

I would highly recommend this property to a friend and would go back in a heartbeat!!

Transcribed from cottage guestbook....Fantastic base allowing you to wander around the coast. Great to come back to after a long day out sightseeing; wonderful sunsets and very peaceful.We'll recommend the little blue house to anyone thinking of vistiting N.S. Hope to be back again!
