About this property

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.

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.

Wonderful stay
Great location to get to many spots in NS. Steve is very accommodating and is there to help with anything you need. Location has all the amenities you need. Great to be able to grab a kayak or paddle boards and go out in the bay to explore the area. Would come Back again in the future.

Perfect!
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.

Great location and great view
We spent 11 nights here and were pleased with the location with easy travel to Halifax or Lunenberg way. We loved the rails to trails pathway across the street and up the hill. We felt the place needs a good thorough cleaning. Such as, The bbq, the microwave, the oven, and the fridge. Thank you.

Exploring the Maritimes
This was a wonderful little spot in an ocean cove setting. A nice comfortable and clean space that gave us joy during our morning coffee or a peaceful dinner in the evening. Any small request was addressed quickly by the terrific hosts Steve & Joanne. A surprise boat tour in the am before our departure was a very nice unexpected extra. We will stay there again if we get the chance. Thanks again Steve and Joanne. 😎

Needs work
At first glance the place was fine. It was once we were inside for a few minutes that we really saw it close up. The bathroom baseboard heater was full of dust and hair, the shower had mold around the entire edge where the wall meets the floor, the vanity drawers were full of junk and needed a good wipe and under the sink was also full and dirty. The light and fan switch are located behind a shelving unit, the electrical outlet is behind the mirror and is not a GFI. The kitchen sink was dirty, the bedroom windows were full of dirt and dead flies. The floor has some major dips, lots of squeaks, the electrical in the kitchen is a hazard! I have pictures of the wiring. Smh. The deck, which is over. 8’ from the ground has NO beam to support it! We- 3 adults with a combined weight of 470 lbs- sat on the deck one night. We noticed a bit of a sag in the decking when we stood up and notice the glass panels we actually coming out of the top rail because of the dip in the centre! The entire floor in the kitchen and living area shook when the washer, which is in the bathroom, went into the spin cycle. The second bedroom closet was so full of junk there was no place to hang any clothes. There is a split exchanger in the living area with AC, but it does absolutely nothing for the bedrooms so it was quite warm even with the windows open. Every time they open the garage door below the floor clunks. In the pictures this place looks wonderful, but up close it needs a lot of work.

Amazing!!
We cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. The apartment was just what we needed but the best features can be found outside. Little private beach, use of kayaks, beautiful views, bike trails and close to Halifax and Peggy’s Cove. Our hosts went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed! We hope to return to Nova Scotia one day again and know this is exactly where we would love to stay.
