Photos and Description of the Digby vacation house rental Two bedrooms, two baths, sleeps four

Our summer home is rare rental in southwestern Nova Scotia between Digby/Annapolis Royal and Long/Briar Islands. The area is culturally and ecology rich and diverse. The home itself sits on a quiet cove - Whale Cove - overlooking a crescent-shaped agate beach and small harbor. Whale Cove is a quiet, lovely, wild and peaceful community of fishermen and summertime visitors. The house is an updated century home; it has been in the same family since it was built. It sits on a cliff overlooking the cove. The view is incredible, as are the sunsets. The house is comfortable and charming: one bedroom has a double bed; the other bedroom has two twins. There is a living room, parlour, large eat-in kitchen, two baths and a study. Everything is provided except food and personal laundry services. Dogs are sometimes welcome but caution is advised with small children - it's a steep drop into the Bay of Fundy from the backyard.

Whale Cove is located on Digby Neck, a 25-mile-long, environmentally unique peninsula jutting into the Bay of Fundy, a region with the highest tides in the world. Whale Cove is a small, quiet fishing village with an agate beach, a protected cove and sunsets. It's rugged and beautiful. Whales, dophins and porpoises often swim past Whale Cove on their way up or down 'The Neck'. Bird life abounds. It's a special place hidden from a busy world.
