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

November 8th - November 13th There are not enough words to describe this property!! 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

Beth made our stay so pleasant with special touches such as a dog bed and bowls and even fresh eggs from her chickens. The house was spotless and well organized. The view was incredible even from inside.

Wonderful place

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. .

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...

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.
