Whalesback Cottage is a WOW!
Publié le 22 oct. 2023 sur HomeAwayWow! Whalesback Cottage was the Nova Scotia oceanside escape that we were looking for. Our own private space – no traffic … no crowds … and the only sounds were the waves hitting the rocks.
We spent countless pleasant hours watching the tides change the view … scanned the ocean with binoculars looking for the whales folks see occasionally. A few excited moments at dusk when we caught sight of several whales waaaaay out – okay, turned out be distant shoals but what fun!
Enjoyed long walks … to Peggy’s Cove … and exploring Polly’s Cove. Exchanging smiles and waves with the locals made us feel right at home.
And visiting with hosts Tom & Donna … after spending time with these cheerful folks we didn’t want our time in this one-of-a-kind special place to end!

Excellent location
Publié le 30 sept. 2023 sur HomeAwayPerfect location and weather provided great opportunity to explore nearby area and relax. House is situated right on coast, providing solitude, rock climbing, beautiful sunsets and night skies without leaving “home”. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Peace and quiet was order of the day.

Rustic Isolation Must
Publié le 23 sept. 2023 sur HomeAwayWonderful cottage for isolated getaway. Spent hours gazing at the shoreline. Will need to return to see a sunrise and sunset or two since our weather did not allow. Unfortunately Hurricane Lee sent us packing earlier than expected but got to see great waves crashing on rocks. Location is ideal for day trips. Tom is a great resource for history, local events, and questions!

Majestic
Publié le 12 sept. 2023 sur HomeAwayOur recent stay was beyond our expectations. The cottage is well appointed, beautiful, and well cared for in every way. The surrounding area is serene, beautiful, and completely relaxing. Slept every night to the wonderful sounds of waves crashing along the rocks. A very special vacation, indeed.
Thank you Tom !

Whaleback cottage is a dream
Publié le 20 août 2023 sur HomeAwayPeace and tranquillity, right on the ocean with the waves hitting the rocks, the outstanding view, all the amenities you need to cook with, a house that is almost 200 years old that has so much charm. If you need anything at all Tom is there for you, thank you Tom

Gorgeous and Peaceful
Publié le 30 juill. 2023 sur HomeAwayWhat a perfect litter house at Peggy's Cove. Literally feels like you have your own private Peggy's Cove. So nice to sit out and enjoy the view in one of the many seating options. The room inside with the three windows is spectacular especially when it is too windy. The hosts were so nice and available anytime you had a question. Definitely was a Maritime welcome. My son and I loved our week here and were sad to leave!

Great Views and Poor interior Maintenance
Publié le 11 juill. 2023 sur HomeAwayThe property’s location cannot be diminished over time. The views of the ocean are spectacular. But, when weather forces you inside for several days, you realize how little effort has been put forth to maintain the cottage. The bedrooms and sole full bath were esp. poor. Plastic taped windows and no screens. Cracked ceilings. Untaped drywall. No toilet paper holders.Sliding doors in the primary bedroom with no screens. No ceiling fans. Mismatched furniture and lamps. Pealing paint and rust on the exterior rear of the house. And a kitchen with 1980s appliances. The view was great. But, if you like upscale beds and baths - not here !
Commentaires de Gestion de l’hôtel

Thank you Nancy. Glad you enjoyed the views and scenery. Also want to thank you for your comments though there are a few I'd like to clarify. Whalesback is a 100+ year old cape cod with eclectic decorations and charm offering an authentic local village experience. The cottage has undergone many improvements over the past couple years and the current state is much better than the photos show. Most guests are actually surprised by how nice it is when they arrive. The kitchen features a brand new fridge and other appliances all function perfectly. There is a brand new Weber BBQ. The master bedroom features Casper Mattress with luxury linens and a live edge wooden bed. There are indeed toilet tissue holders in each bathroom, along with new toilets, handheld shower and towel warmer. Though there isn't a ceiling fan, there are two brand new heat pumps that can be set to your desired comfort (heat/cool/dehumidify), just need to close the windows (per the provided guide). I would have been more than happy to answer any questions or concerns during your stay to make the most of your visit. Thank you again for the constructive critique, and hope you have a great rest of your travels.

Even Beautiful In the Rain and Fog
Publié le 3 juill. 2023 sur HomeAwaySpent 6 nights. Rain and fog every day. But that is part of the joy.
