Adorable seaside cottage!

We had a wonderful time at this beautifully decorated little gem- it was the highlight of our Canadian vacation! The bedrooms and living areas were super comfortable and super charming, and the location couldn't have been better. How fun to start each day with coffee on the deck overlooking the cove, or a walk to the lighthouse and back. Would definitely stay here again!

Peggy's Cove Vacation Getaway

Location, location, location. In the heart of Peggy's Cove it was a prime location to enjoy the sights and sounds of what the area offers. Claire was amazing as a host and was available to answer any questions we had and made the vacation that much more enjoyable. We definitely would not hesitate to go back.

Comfort with spectacular views

Claire was a wonderful host. The house was so cosy with all the things you need to cook yourself. Loved walking down the hill and getting a fresh cooked lobster to bring back for dinner.

Fabulous!

We loved Peggy's Cove Cottage. Fabulous views of the Cove, a great coffee shop for our morning brew and wonderful hiking nearby. Claire was friendly and helpful, and the whole community felt very welcoming. Loved the open fire for the chilly nights and the grill for delish steaks! Am missing waking up to the seagulls here in Manhattan.

Peaceful retreat

I've experienced many VRBO properties throughout the years but none with the personality of this one. The home itself, the wonderful community and of course, the lighthouse all contribute to a sense of ease and an ability to disconnect, decompress and just enjoy the surroundings. Everything you need is in the house -it's immaculately kept and the owner is a wealth of local knowledge and very pleasant to talk to. I'd happily return again if the opportunity presented itself and if you're considering coming, I'm sure you'll be just as pleased as I was.

The Perfect Relaxation

What a wonderful vacation! Once we finally arrived in Peggy's Cove, we immediately felt so much more relaxed. The cottage is simply perfect. The views are just incredible! Every morning we walked over to the coffee shop to chat and get our cups of coffee. We enjoyed walking around the village and also just sitting on the porch watching the "tourists". :) Claire was a real pleasure to deal with. She was so accommodating, helpful, and friendly. This was really everything we needed from our vacation. I can heartily recommend this cottage!

Simply Beautiful

My parents and I spent 4 nights at this idyllic seaside home on our Nova Scotia visit.The exterior, WOW, you would find a hilltop home like this in a fairy tale book. The location is perfect, at the back of the village in an elevated spot overlooking the small harbour with a view of the top of the famous lighthouse. At night the red glow of the light is easily seen from all windows.The home is on green land with many beautiful plants and a multitude of bird species serenade you as you enjoy the deck watching the boats in the harbour.Want to walk to the lighthouse? It's barely five minutes from your backdoor - Hot Tip - go before 8am and you'll have the lighthouse to yourself for the best photographs without a tourist in sight - bar yourself that is!!Inside a respectfully decorated, cosy home, in keeping with the area and its history. Comfortable beds with nice linens, plenty of towels and everything you could want from your home from homes. Tip, bring Keurig Cups for the coffee maker and you're good to go!Minor point, suggestion, keep a couple of windows open as the fresh air makes the inside feel fresh and relaxed.There are a handful of food options within a few minutes walk, as long as seafood is your thing. Another tip, less than an hour away we found a pub in Mahone Bay called the Mug and Anchor which we loved and returned to again!Peggys Cove is stunning in its own right , but also an excellent base to explore the area. We ventured as far as Keji Harbour Rocks!

Anniversary Trip

You could not ask for a better host than Claire! She was so kind to us during our stay. The house was just as described and the perfect place for us to stay for our 30th anniversary trip to Nova Scotia. The views were amazing, the beds were so comfortable and we enjoyed the cozy fire. The deck was the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. Nearby Polly's Cove is a beautiful hike. We highly recommend this property!

Beautiful and cozy gem!

This cozy cottage and its setting is idyllic. Amazing views from each room. A beautiful home decorated with such care and thoughtful touches throughout. So very comfortable in every aspect - the perfect place to curl up with a book and periodically look out to enjoy the beauty of this place. Kitchen well equipped and all that we could have needed. I will definitely miss this incredible mix of beauty and comfort. - I was fortunate to meet Claire, the most gracious and fun hostess. Had the opportunity to have conversations with her and she is the picture of delight. Thank you Claire (and Paul) for your vision of this house that you so lovingly restored.

Charming seaside village

We loved staying in this little cottage in Peggy's Cove. Perched along a narrow inlet surrounded by amazing views out every window. This cottage was like a little slice of heaven for our family of four. To be a part of this little working fishing village was seriously magical. The cottge is well equiped with everything you could possibly need to make you feel at home during your stay. Claire, the owner was as sweet as could be and made us feel very welcome in her home and Peggy's Cove in general. We've stayed in a lot of beautiful places over the years, but none of them came close to this charming coastal village.
