Ocean front cottage, relax and enjoy the sunset over St. Margaret's Bay!

  • Welcome to Sunset Bank Cottage! A brand-new ocean escape on the shores of breathtaking St. Margaret’s Bay, Nova Scotia. Just steps from the ocean, Sunset Bank enjoys unparalleled views of the bay, where you can watch the sun set each night. Relax on the front deck and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. We will let you know what time the sun sets each night so you wont miss it! Brand new and fully equipped our 2-bedroom, open concept cottage offers all the comforts of home, ready and waiting for you to unwind.

    Just 7 minutes away from world-renowned Peggy's Cove, located in the tranquil community of Hackett's Cove in St. Margaret’s Bay. Here you will find numerous restaurants, where seafood is always on the menu. Cafés and bakeries abound, for those looking for coffee and a quick bite. Nature lovers may enjoy a sea kayaking tour, or one of the many hiking and biking trails near by. Take a boat tour and see the famous Peggy’s Cove lighthouse from a different perspective, or head to Pearl Island and see the puffins!

    Our cottage is the ideal home base for numerous day trips. Head down the South Shore to picturesque Mahone Bay, the town of three churches. Continue on to colourful Old Town Lunenburg a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, a beautiful 90 minute drive along the ocean. Or spend the day in the beautiful Annapolis Valley, home to most of the province’s wineries. A great place to see the highest tides in the world at the Bay of Fundy, only a 90 minute drive.

Great Family Stay

The cottage was new and the best equipped cottage we have ever had. This host goes above and beyond to make your trip and cottage experience special. Loved walking down to the waterfront and going for a swim and watching the sunset and ocean views from the cottage :(

Paradise at Sunset Bank Cottage

Two days of rest and relaxation in a beautiful little cottage with gorgeous views. This new build was pristine, well appointed, with thoughtful welcoming touches- personal welcome message in the chalkboard that included sunset time, basket of local toffees and bottle of bubbly, fresh flowers- and attention from the owner included hand delivery of a kitchen tool needed to complete our meal.

The house is beyond words. Beautiful, clean, and so tranquil. All the small touches gave it that extra homey feel. The location is excellent. We had to leave a day early due to the Hurricane coming into Florida. The host was understanding and accommodating. We will be back. .

Idyllic Stay

Can’t say enough good about this property. The pictures do not do it justice. The care and attention to comfort and beauty was evident in every room. Beautifully decorated- every amenity- spotless- and stunning views…we were so sad to leave. Beth- the host- obviously genuinely cares about creating an amazing guest experience from her personalized welcome note, fresh eggs and cream in the fridge, a kitchen fully stocked with spices, oil, coffee etc. Also- great yard with deck and bbq. And at the bottom of the garden a little path down to the water and a private bench for sunset views or communing with the forest and the water. Super private and perfectly situated to explore the area. Don’t miss the sunset!

Perfect Paradise Nova Scotia Experience

Pictures don’t do it justice! The cottage is absolutely immaculate, clean, beautifully decorated, every detail so well thought out. The host was so helpful with touring the area, suggesting restaurants, shops and so easy to get in touch with. The kitchen is set up with everything you need to cook, bbq, keurig coffee machine (pods, tea, honey, sugar, cream), host put eggs from their family farm in the fridge for us, brought us a pot to cook lobster:) Bedrooms outfitted with high quality bedding, pillows, and mattress. Bathroom was spotless equipped with many toiletries. The view is spectacular with walk down to water and outdoor seating. It was completely private, quiet yet accessible and central to many places to go: Peggy’s Cove, fresh seafood, grocery stores close by. A definite complete Nova Scotia experience

PERFECTION!

This cottage is located in the most ideal calming location overlooking St. Margaret's Bay! And very well appointed..had everything we needed...beautifully decorated! Beth, our host, was incredibly helpful and amendable with every detail along with recommendations of food stores, restaurants, and sites to see! Her communication was excellent. We taught our online barre fitness classes from the back deck overlooking the water! We are truly looking forward to returning next year and more...only wished we could have stayed longer! It was beyond our expectations...SUPERB all around! A true gem...

Perfect stay!

My wife and I’s first visit to Nova Scotia and we could not have asked for a better house and a better host. Beth has thought of everything her guests might need. Immaculately clean home and so comfortable. Beth provided us with some eggs and coffee products. Combine with grocery stores in easy driving distance and it made for wonderful mornings. And the view? Incredible and inspiring. I loved my mornings and evenings on the little bench down the stairs leading to the bay. I got paid a visit by deer, a bald eagle and a good sized seal who would poke his head up and bark at me in the evenings! The view is just as good from the house. Not a fan of the outdoors? Then stay inside and enjoy the view of the bay from the house. The sunsets are awe inspiring. The hardest part is not wanting to leave such a beautiful place to explore Nova Scotia! But do get out and explore. The locals are so kind. So many good local dining establishments. The house puts you in easy driving range of Halifax and the charming small towns of the South Shore. One of the best vacations we have ever had! We hope to return. Thank you Beth and Sunset Cottage!
