About this property

Ocean Front Retreat!

Spectacular location and new kitchen! Watch the tide change and diverse marine ecosystem from every room. 50 feet from private swimming and ocean front pursuits. Enjoy watching boats sail by and a variety of bird species from the wrap around deck.

Accommodation for up to six includes on the main level one double bed in master bedroom, one single bed in separate bedroom. There are two queen size beds in separate lofts on the second level as well as a futon. Although the ships ladder to the loft is abit steep and not for everyone, it is certainly popular with children!

Local amenities include the Hubbards sailing school a kilometre away, grocery store, liquor store and restaurants a 20 minute walk away. Hubbards beach is a 15 minute paddle away(canoe included). The nearby Aspotogan trail system offers endless trekking and cycling opportunities.

Situated just 30 minutes from downtown Halifax, 45 minutes from the airport. The perfect location for day trips exploring all the area has to offer. Close to Peggy's Cove and the small fishing communities that dot the South Shore.

Beautiful view and convenient location
We had a good stay at this lovely, rustic home. We loved sitting on the decks watching the birds and seals in the cove behind the house and watching the tides come and go. The furnishings are slightly different than the photos - there are now two very comfortable couches in the living room, but no longer a regular dining table, that is now a bar height table. The wood stove in the living room was much appreciated during chilly evenings. The house is in a great location with lots of shops and restaurants close by, as well as walking paths and some beautiful beaches. Matthias was very quick to respond to our questions and was a great host.

Seeing is believing?
Location excellent. View from deck awesome. Pictures on the website did not reveal the true state of the cottage. cluttered and untidy spaces; improper storage of kitchen utensils allowing dust and flies in; pots and pans old; fridge should be thoroughly cleaned or replaced; loose wood trim around closet and windows; doors not functioning well; paints and such stored on shelf in bedroom; website listed TV yet none was available; walk to the beach was a tip toe through pet feces; after waiting many years to make this trip and thinking we found an ideal cottage, we were deeply disappointed and would not recommend this place in its present condition.

beautiful view
We had a great experience at Matthias's house. It was private and peaceful and perfect for the first part of our trip to Nova Scotia. The view is unbeatable, and waking up to the sounds of the water and the birds made our shoulders drop for the first time in months. There is a big deck, as well as docks right by the water, and it was a perfect place to hang out and read and eat the food we made (we ate dinner in every night). The location made traveling around the area easy - Halifax about 30 minutes to the east and Lunenberg about 34-40 to the west. Matthias always responded right away to any questions we had. It was a lovely stay!

About the host

Hosted by Matthias MacLellan

Host profile image
I am from the area, I rebuilt this house with help from my father in 2012. I have been around the world and the rugged, pristine coastline of Nova Scotias South Shore is a truly special place. Summer rentals allow me to pay the mortgage and I am happy to share my slice of paradise.

Why they chose this property

I choose to buy this property because of the spectacular location and having the skillset and energy to turn it into something beautiful. I am a wooden boat owner and sailing enthusiast and hope to still be in this house as an old man.
