Oceanfront 2BR Private Apartment

Beautiful 2 BR Apartment, fully equipped Kitchen, W/D for a short or extended stay and offers a stunning view of the ocean just off the balcony with BBQ, and private sitting area to watch the sunrise or just to relax and enjoy. Inside you can relax in air-conditioned comfort on those hot days, or curl up next to the electric fireplace on the cold nights while watching your favorite movie.
The centerpiece of the apartment for me is the walk-in shower with engraved glass panels. These etchings were created by a local artist and are one of a kind hand-sketched and feature the Bluenose and the Peggy's Cove Lighthouse, 2 of our most famous attractions here in Nova Scotia.
Kayaks available onsite complimentary, private island tours provided by the host are optional with advance reservations
You will have access to local shops and cafes, as well as the rails to trails walking path just across the street.

Excellent Stay

We stayed here for 6 nights, April 2-7. The interior of the apartment was exactly as pictured, a cute and private 2bedroom space with a lovely deck that over looks over the cove. The only thing I was surprised with upon arrival was that the apartment was located on top of a garage, and to access it you have to climb a moderate flight of stairs. This could have been my mistake for not reading the add throughly enough but, for me, the photos did not depict this. Luckily all members of our party staying here were able bodied and this was not an issue for us.The only other thing to note about this property is that it is located very close to the main road and if you sleep in the one bedroom that is closest to the front of the property you can hear a lot of road noise throughout the night. Otherwise this was a fantastic place to stay with all the amenities you could need, and the property manager, Steve, was very helpful and pleasant to work with.

Perfect for exploring!

Very easy to get to the highway to explore the south shore or HRM. Nice to have a separate space from the hosts. Hosts responded very quickly to any questions we had. Beds were comfortable and kitchen well stocked. Loved the dishwasher! Consider bringing slippers as the floors get cold - not a big deal! The views from this second story are worth it!

This apartment was the perfect size for my husband and I. The location was perfect to tour up and down the coast. There was a grocery store 10 min to the east and The Little Ice Cream Shop was 10 minutes to the west (YUMMY!). If we ever head back to Nova Scotia we would stay here.

Awesome Trip

We had a great time in St Margaret’s bay starting with waking up to have a relaxing coffee on the deck overlooking the bay . The place was the perfect size for the two of us but can house two couples with everything we needed . Steve and Johan were great hosts answered all our questions ,Steve took us out for an enjoyable 3 hour boat ride my husband was so happy I couldn’t wipe the smile off his face. It’s a great location for lots of place to visit like Peggy cove, Mahone bay ,Lunenburg and Halifax. We would definitely stay there again thanks again to Steve and Johan 💕

Nice Find

Thanks for sharing your lovely apartment with us. The apartment is very comfortable and truly seems to have everything one needs. I really appreciated that there were plenty of good quality towels and quite comfortable beds ! The location is a bit tricky for walking because you're right on a very busy road; however, a very short drive away you can park and be on a fabulous trail which follows the old rail bed. Friendly hosts in a beautiful area; thanks again for sharing this place with us.
