18 Reviews of Property 150008 in Digby, Nova Scotia

My wife and I, my four children (Edmonton, NYC, Uxbridge, Dartmouth), their three spouses, and my 9 grandchildren spent 6 days at this beautiful spacious house. Enjoyed the walk to Seal Point several times - always plenty of seals to watch. View is amazing! Balancing rock a short ferry ride away. This house has all the facilities you may require, never ran out of dishes or glasses. Thanks for a very enjoyable family reunion.

After a drive down a dirt road, we were pleasantly surprised to find this beautiful home overlooking St. Mary's Bay. If you are looking for peace, quiet, and beautiful sunsets this is the place for you. The house is large, nicely appointed and taken care of.
A few mornings the house was surrounded by puffy fog but after driving a few miles (to about Sandy Cove), the fog lifted and we found a sunny day awaiting us. The ferry to Long Island and Balancing Rock is very close by and don't forget to take the next ferry to Brier's Island and a very picturesque lighthouse. There is a very good whale watch outfit here, too. About 30 miles away is Digby and scallops, scallops, scallops. Wonderful!
I highly recommend this home for anyone interested in total relaxation. Whether you use it as a base to travel the area or prop up your feet on the deck and read or watch the tides come in and recede, this is a wonderful home.

I planned a surprise 30th birthday party for my wife and 10 of our friends met us at Seal Point House. I found the location completely by accident, online, when I was looking for a place that would accomodate all of us and deliver that "WOW" factor.

In the months leading up to the big day, Chris was a joy to deal with. Every email I sent was responded to and all of my questions welcomed and answered.

It was easy to find and exactly what I was looking for--completely secluded, spacious and impressive! Even with the weather not co-operating, we had lots of fun cooking big meals together, enjoying the acoustics of the high ceilings when playing guitar and watching seals from the deck!

We all felt so rejuvenated at the end of the weekend that we made a pact to visit Seal Point House EVERY year!

We, my family and I, stayed at this property on the weekend of March 18 & 19, 2011. Although most of us were familiar with the area the specific information provided as to actually finding the property was excellent. We basically found the property pretty much as described. A large enough house to accomodate our family of 13/14. Our five year old twins slept on air mattresses. Everyone had their own bedroom which was excellent. Everything was found as described concerning the amenities including the Lobster Pot which we put to good use. There were plenty of dishes of every kind, three cofee makers, ice maker and cold water fridge, diswasher, central vac, large dinner table, lots of towels, and the beds were made and mostly very comfortable. We found the property clean and the location excellent. The owner was great to work with and communication was excellent. We certainly would not hesitate to recommend this property to friends and neighbors. The view was great and we were able to watch fishing boats ply their trade on the local waters. We only left the property once and that was to cross the three minute ferry to Long Island where we visited the Balancing Rock. We all enjoyed the experience although it was a lot of stairs to descend and then reclimb. Overall a grand experience which we wished we could have stayed for a week and hopefully will be able to enjoy again in the future.

Words can not express my love for this house. We wanted a small personal wedding so we rented the house for the week and had our wedding party and friends stay with us at the venue. The owner was incredibly helpful and easy to get along with, putting most wedding venues to shame right away. We got married right in the great room in front of the windows. We saw dolphins and seals out every window more days than we didn't. The binoculars were quite useful and the fact that there were three pair meant we had a pair at every window for when someone yelled "They're back!" (Usually me, as I couldn't help staring out the windows constantly as where ever you are in the house, there is a visible window over looking the ocean!). The stocked kitchen made even catering a wedding for 18 a breeze and the central vac made clean up take even less time!
The view is breath taking and when the sun sets you miss it but then there is the beautiful, huge fireplace. With many games and books and surprisingly comfortable seating the great room is perfect for family time after dark. The drawers and drawers of movies would make sure that any remaining time was well filled.
I can't say enough good things about this house. Getting married here was perfect and I can't wait to celebrate anniversaries here in the future. This is truly a piece of paradise.

It is a magnificent house with a million dollar view! The house was everything that was promised. The ten of us were all very comfortable for the week. With binoculars you could see the balancing rock across the bay.
A seal colony nearby, several whale watching expeditions close and of course lobster, scallops and crab all the time. Absolutely delicious!
Definitely would recommend this property. Great place to stay while in Nova Scotia.

We rented this house for 2 weeks in August for a family reunion. The house is beautiful with a spacious and very well equipped kitchen that makes it fun to cook with and for a large group of people. The ocean is visible from almost every room in the house! The entire house radiates a friendly atmosphere ~ with plenty of games, books and a fireplace for a foggy day.
Every day we saw wildlife right from the porch. Bald eagles, small whales, seals and more! Within a short walk (with plenty of wild raspberries along the trail) we could see a seal colony.
A 15 minute car ride away was "Sandy Beach" where we counted 30 hummingbirds at one time!The beach was fun for the children who didn't mind the cold ocean water! At low tide the beach revealed it's sandbanks where sandcastles were build in no-time.
This house is perfect no matter if you want to explore the outdoors or stay inside and enjoy the comfort in a home away from home!

In celebration of my Dad's 80th bday, we headed for the Seal Point House, July 18th. It was the first time to Nova Scotia and we basically knew nothing about it!!! The house was a little more remote than we thought, but wow, everything about it was fabulous! We had 4 teenagers that had no access to tv or internet for a week and they actually had fun! The house was extremely comfortable, EXTREMELY clean, and more than enough room for everyone (11 of us). The deck is where we would gather to watch the birds, the seals, the boats, and the beautiful scenery. The first day we were there, a bald eagle flew right over us! We went whale watching at Petit Passage and then had a late lunch...everyone there is awesome and literally 3 mins from the house. We took the ferry to Long Island, did the Balance Rock thing, then to Lavena's Catch which was really, really good. Then to Briar's Island which was my personal favorite...really loved it. We went to Digby, Annapolis Royal, and Bear River (Flight of Fancy is a must if your into art). Did a Winery tour in Bear River, quite interesting and the view from the back is breathtaking. Also, went to Whale's Cove. If you want to meet an interesting, fun person, go and meet Vaughn at the trailer park. He's a rockhound and makes jewelry with his finds as well as being owner of the campground! If you go the opposite way of the campground (if you take the turnoff where it says Whale's Cove, you go straight and at the end of that road you go left or right. Left is stunning view of the water and maybe whales!
To the right is the campground.
Back at the house, the favorite thing to do was to go down the path to Seal Point. It really was breathtaking! And yes there are a lot of seals! Might want to take the Binocs that the house supplies if you want to see them close up. Kids went fishing down at the dock on the other side of the ferry, it's by what appears to be a fishery. They all caught fish! (there are fishing poles at the house..thanks Chris)
Every evening we sat around and talked, played games (lots of them there) did puzzles, etc. Then when the "old" folks went to bed, the kids stayed up and watched movies (huge video selection) with the sensaround sound. Suprisingly, it didn't keep any of us from sleeping very soundly!!! I
The house and the vacation were EXACTLY what we were looking for and people in Nova Scotia have got the be the friendliest people ANYWHERE!
