This cottage is in a gorgeous location. It sits on 3 acres on a granite bluff overlooking the ocean, with greater than 180 degrees of spectacular water views. This is prime Nova Scotia ocean frontage. The views are unsurpassed. New for 2018- New bedroom suite with full bath and new Laundry Room, a dishwasher and new kitchen cabinets! You would be at a peaceful oceanfront retreat, but Halifax, a major international city is only 20 minutes away! Prospect is also about 10 miles from the major tourist destination of Peggy's Cove, which is a quaint oceanfront village, with a much visited lighthouse on a granite coast. Prospect is an oceanfront fishing village. The village is fairly quiet, but the people are very friendly and can share their way of life with you. Waterfront recreation abounds with everything from sea kayaking to sailing, water skiing, motor boating, fishing and whale watching. There is a two mile stretch of undeveloped public land ('crown land', as it is nominally owned by the queen of England) right next to the cottage that is a fabulous place to walk, run mountain bike or hike. The coast is spectacular to drive along with many picturesque villages such as Peggy's Cove, Lununberg, Mahone Bay, and Chester nearby. Restaurants are plentiful, with delicious seafood. Halifax is a major international city and has first class activities and attractions, including Celtic music, professional sports and entertainment, the Citadel fortress, a charming waterfront, and an excellent nightlife. This is a simple, but neat and comfortable cottage with all the basic amenities, and then some, on a spectacular location. I constantly update/upgrade it. It has free Wi Fi internet and cable TV. New Master Suite 2018. New Laundry area 2018. If you are looking for 5-star resort accommodations, this is not for you! But if you want to be surrounded by gorgeous oceanfront in your private getaway, while still having a major international city nearby, you will be very happy. The cottage is best for 4 people, but there are a couple of beds in the unfinished attic, as well as a sleeper sofa. Please note Nova Scotia and Canada tax of 15%. Pet fee $100/pet. PRICES ARE IN USD. If you wish to pay in $CDN, let me know and we will figure out a conversion rate for that time.

If looking for somewhere close to town but offering great views, and that peace away from the hassle of town, would definitely recommend.

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. ##### Sandy N. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alysia T. Aug 2, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Alysia T. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lyn M.

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.

Aug 29, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Dwight F. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne S. Aug 14, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Anne S.
