The property offers privacy, ample outdoor seating on the deck, and of course the sound and views of the ocean. Lots of birds in the area as well. Beth was very helpful and responsive.

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.

Jul 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This is the best cottage we have rented for so many reasons! First, it was so clean that I thought we must have been the very first renters but the guest book entries went back to 2024 so I was extremely impressed with the cleanliness. The property manager left a lovely note welcoming us aling with a map of Peggy's Cove with a list of local attractions; the best of which she highlighted for us! On top of that, the cottage is very well appointed with anything we might need, including common things one might forget, i.e. toothbrushes (still in packaging), toothpaste, moisturizer, and floss!She also gifted us 6 farm fresh eggs which were divine! The beds and all furniture were incredibly comfortable. Suffice it to say, I did not want to leave!! With only three days in town we were busy visiting with friends and family so didn't quite have time to take the path down to the shore but that is on the list for next time. The location was downright enchanting as we had two deer sightings (they're much bigger than I would have thought!), and bird watching with the binoculars provided was a real treat! All in all, I can't wait to stay there next time we take this trip-hopefully for a much longer stay!! ##### Joëlle C. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amber R. Jul 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A perfectly-appointed cottage with spectacular sunsets We cannot say enough good things about our stay at Sunset Bank Cottage.Our goal was to relax, unwind and explore the area as we wished. From the cottage, we explored Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg, Mahone Bay and vistas along St. Margaret's Bay. Upon arrival, I knew the photos of the cottage looked great, but I was not prepared for how perfect the cottage was for the two of us - it was tastefully decorated, spotless, comfortable, and included thoughtful touches like hand-written notes about the area and dog bowls were set out for our dog when we arrived. The backyard was peaceful and full of wildlife, including hummingbirds, chickadees, goldfinches, and gulls.You will be blown away by the view of the ocean, and if you're lucky like we were, a sunset on a cloudless night. We sat in the backyard (you may need a sweater) and watched the sky change colours while listening to the water crash onto the shore. You should also go down to the water to see the sunset by taking the backyard pathway – it is worth it! We recommend exploring Peggy’s Cove, the Swissair Flight 111 Memorial, and the Train Station Bike & Bean in Tantallon. We enjoyed our meal at Rhubarb and getting ice cream at Whale’s Back Country Store as well.Thank you to Beth for being a wonderful and thoughtful host – everyone needs to experience a sunset from her cottage and explore the local gems of St. Margaret’s Bay. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4f63154e-f14d-4acc-a693-f1578899e6b1-1753740266704.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b0fbd6e4-06c2-4a0d-9e45-722e8fdd6493-1753740384076.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5cdd20bf-0f2e-44ec-ab3a-0ec70d6be2bd-1753740422713.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9296b697-38cb-45a0-9011-24bb76abbf93-1753740593695.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Amber R.

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... ##### Elisabeth H. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John J. Jul 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/606e2c34-47d5-426b-96a6-845657e5bb99-1751849113376.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### John J.

Unfassbar schönes, neues und perfekt ausgestattetes Haus mit atemberaubenden Meerblick und vielen Gelegenheiten, Vögel, Eichhörnchen und Hirsche von der Terrasse zu beobachten. Das Haus ist sehr ruhig gelegen, perfekt zum Erholen, aber auch sehr gut für Tagesausflüge nach Peggys Cove, Halifax oder Burntcoat Head. Beth ist die liebenswerteste und freundlichste Vermieterin, die wir je hatten. Mit ganz viel Liebe zum Detail hat sie unseren Urlaub unvergesslich gemacht. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1ffc7e4e-c7b9-47cf-8662-cbaff2444bdb-1751381730697.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d322a918-4994-4b7f-b2f2-1972a02d1fa1-1751381730839.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8b3f50fc-6f00-4f8e-b3b8-75643a25fc55-1751381731041.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3727fc90-6562-40cb-9e36-82770ce235aa-1751381730854.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Hanka M.

Beautiful cottage, very clean and everything to make you feel at home. The sunsets were spectacular!! Beth was great in communication and ensuring we were well cared for.

The amount of care that is put into everything is amazing. Beth has thought of EVERYTHING you could need...just when you think "Hmm, she probably doesn't have that..." just open a drawer, and there's a great chance you'll find it! The cottage was sparkling clean, the location/view was exactly as shown in the pics, it's phenomenal. We stayed there for 5 nights and I think we had the best sleep we've had in years! Will definitely be going back. This location is saved for a revisit for sure! 10 Stars ##### Natalie Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joni H.

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. . ##### Joni H.
