Cozy Ocean Retreat

Our stay was wonderful. The location is fabulous and the cottage has everything we needed. We love that there were two bathrooms and the beds were very comfortable. The Crown Land nearby was great to explore. Would stay again!

Perfect Ocean front vacation

My family and I LOVED our stay. The views are 10/10. The location was perfect for our East Coast vacation! Close enough to Halifax, Peggy’s cove, Lunenberg, Mahone Bay, for day trips. We also enjoyed exploring the waterfront and the nearby trails. We had the best time, it was hard to leave

Forget your troubles

The stay was perfect. September is a great time to experience NS. Sitting on the deck was very pleasant. Access to the crown lands was a huge positive - we didn't feel the need to leave and tourists and just walked the cliff trail each day. The accommodations were good and met our expectations and needs.

Beautiful location and stay

this little cottage is sitting on the rocks of a beautiful fishing village, it was actually better and prettier than the pictures could tell. Very clean, well equipped and comfortable. The owner was very prompt in answering questions. I hope to come back

The perfect spot!

We really enjoyed our stay at this little seaside house in Prospect! It had everything we needed, and the views were fantastic. Plus it was handy for seeing different sites. Our two pugs loved it too!

Shhhh. Don’t tell.

This was our third stay here and we’re all ready to book next year. For us (and our dog), this place has absolutely everything we want in a vacation. Lovely walks and sunsets, great variety of paddling opportunities, good ocean swimming, and perfect porches to bask/read/watch the world go by.

Great location

Situated right on the coastline in a nice quiet peaceful area where we could relax and unwind after a busy day out in Halifax which is conveniently only a 30 minute drive away. If looking for somewhere close to town but offering great views, and that peace away from the hassle of town, would definitely recommend. While some may consider a little rustic in nature, it perfectly met our needs and met all our expectations. A great find for us for our vacation.

Views You'll Remember for a Lifetime!

This cottage setting is line no other we've ever seen. The views of the bay, waves, rocks, village are memorizing. We stayed for four days and would gladly go back again for a longer stay. The cottage would be considered rustic by some standards but honestly it doesn't matter!!!! We loved every minute of our stay. Owner was very accommodating and quick to respond to our questions before we arrived. No need to communicate once we were there. Appreciated the privacy.

The views will not disappoint!

We really enjoyed our stay, the cottage and surrounding area was so perfectly picturesque. We found the location convenient for day trips to Peggy’s Cove and Lunenburg, and large grocery stores were not too far away. But the best part was being able to walk down to the very charming Prospect Village, or around the oceanfront trails as the sun was setting. It’s just as beautiful as the more touristy areas, but feels like you have it all to yourself. Some negatives: the bathrooms and kitchen could have been cleaned more thoroughly. You may want to pick up some bottled water, as the tap water tasted unpleasant to me. The cottage is small, but it was quite comfortable for just me and my husband. I think it would be ideal for a couple + 1 kid, but it might feel very cramped with a larger group. That being said, the location, the charm, and THE VIEWS make up for any negative. I would 100% recommend this property and I would love to come back some day.

Private and cozy

Even though there are homes nearby, this property is extremely private and has a beautiful waterfront with views out every direction. The house itself is cozy, updated and nicely appointed. A huge benefit for us, with a dog, was the access to gorgeous seaside trails right next to the property. These trails are open to the public and we met numerous lovely people, with and without dogs. It was difficult to leave after such a relaxing time!

Wow. What a location

Location, location, location. The property itself is right sized in our view, and has all the critical comforts. It lacks a few kitchen amenities (aluminum foil, plastic wrap) based on our personal rental stays in the US and Europe, but you will not be worrying about that. You will make do. A portable fan might do you well if you are in warm days, for the extra bedroom or living room. There is privacy, amazing views, the sounds of crashing waves perpetually, making for great sleep. You can swim in the cove right in front. You could bring kayaks and put them in there also. There is a nearby market with fresh veggies and baked goods, there is a restaurant at a golf course that we enjoyed twice. The nearby shore trail is amazing. We went out for sunsets most nights, and you can get quite close to crashing waves and surf. We loved this place. It’s amazing that you can be only 25 minutes outside Halifax, yet feel like you are way out. What i liked most is that Prospect is quaint, and harkens back to my memories of vacations before big money. There are no mansions, and the country has done well preserving shoreline. It’s beautiful and Morry has kept it simple and we loved it.

Heavenly Location, Heavenly Cottage

How can that be when we 3 seniors felt it necessary to contact our host for HELP? Our issue? …. To say how much we were enjoying our stay! We all grew up by the sea, and have since holidayed in many seafront spots both in Canada and Europe. However, this idyllic Oceanside property and location managed to surpass many of the best of those places. With two verandas for watching tides roll in and out, sun- and moonshine glistening on gentle waves, panoramic vistas of both seascapes and spectacular skies, nearby small islands of remarkable rock formations and resident cormorants, onlookers are treated to the natural beauty of their environs. Don’t forget to hike along the High Head Trail, which offers more expansive views of Prospect Point area. Within 30 minutes are Halifax, Peggy’s Cove, Shaw’s Landing (restaurant by the sea, with lots of menu choices, especially seafood). A little further is Mahone Bay and Rebecca’s Restaurant (lobster rolls are scrumptious), one of 2 Canadian UNESCO sites - Lunenburg (a stop at Lightship Brewery will reward with local beverages on their immense patio, along with great views of the sea and town, and perhaps the Bluenose schooner in the harbour). We included an Oak Island pontoon boat tour - excellent in-person commentaries are informative and interesting. Do we recommend this property? Absolutely! Well furnished and decorated, it offers a true “home away from home” experience. We appreciated having 2 bathrooms, laundry facilities, many windows, excellent water pressure and immediate hot water, new kitchen appliances. All spaces were spotlessly clean, well lit and tastefully updated. A real gem by the sea! Our host was most helpful in providing immediate and thorough answers to our queries, as well as a detailed route from Halifax to the cottage’s front door!

Stunning location

We spent a week enjoying the beautiful views from the cottage and hiking the nearby trails . Peggy’s cove, Lunenburg, Mahone Bay, Halifax and the Annapolis valley wineries were some of the places we visited along with nearby restaurants like Rhubarb, Shaw’s landing and the Bicycle thief in Halifax. It was also nice to be able to dine at the cottage surrounded by the rugged beauty of the Atlantic coast. Charming little cottage with the basic amenities, beautiful views from both bedrooms. We would return again.
