"Wow! 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...

"It was a perfect place for me to relax and concentrate on my work. Everything I needed was very close. Property was exceptionally clean and comfortable. Highly recommend this property and others owned by this host."

"Property was exactly as described. Lots to do inside and out these host have truly thought of everything a family could want to do. The house is well decorated and extremely comfortable, all the beds were very good, everyone had a great nights sleep. 5 star rating in our books hope to visit again soon."

"Our group of four just stayed for a week in August and had an incredible time at this property! We found everything to be true to the listing if not better, and the stunning views from multiple directions made our stay even more memorable. We were able to explore a great deal of the surrounding areas thanks to the central location, with short hops to nearby Lunenburg, Mahone Bay, Peggy's Cove, Chester, and of course Halifax and other great destinations. Highly recommended!"

"Our family of 5 (and a baby) enjoyed our stay at the Salty Cribb II. The house is comfortable, well stocked, and a short distance to a great little store. The owner responded quickly when we did have a question."

"An early November visit with 3 friends, easy entry, warm in floor heat was the best , plus a propane fireplace , beautiful decor , nothing missing , the view of deep cove is stunning The landscaping is incredible"

We sit on a pretty, secluded cove. Accessible by car. Dock may not be available.

Facing east is awesome for sun, coffee, or a mojito on the Deck all day.

"Bring your groceries and leave your worries behind. This out-of-the-way vacation cottage is a great place to settle in and watch the waves. We spotted seals, eagles and fishing boats gliding past. The road onto the island, with it's twists, turns and one-lane bridge, adds to the charm. The property provides a sense of isolation but neighbours are nearby if needed. The owner is super-friendly and was reachable throughout our stay. The cottage is well-equipped and quickly feels like home. The...

"Great house. Some of the furniture needs changing like the dining room chairs that are very wobbly.3 bedrooms in basement are only doubles so like my son and his wife that are bigger people they had to sleep separately. All in all there was a great view and it was worth the prixe."

"What a charming, cozy, and well maintained rental...it feels like home. If you are an antique collector you will appreciate the furniture & collectibles that can be admired throughout the rental. It has everything you need and more. Pat & Pam were wonderful hosts. I would highly recommend this VRBO if you are traveling to the South Shore. "

"We loved our 4 nite stay at the lookout, it was perfect. We wanted for nothing. Jill and Kevin thought of everything, even leaving us a lovely bottle of wine! We are returning to Maine with very grateful hearts and rested souls! Thank you both."

"Great, cozy, comfortable, light-filled cottage for two on St Margarets Bay, with view of water from large deck. Close to beaches, South Shore, Peggy's Cove and Halifax area. The village of Hubbards has grocery, cafes, pharmacy, NSLC, bike trails and great Farmers Market."

"My friends and I enjoyed our stay at this property. Our host was responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at this property again. "

"Great house with basics to make it easy to stay."

"The property is beautiful. There were hiccups with key not being in lockbox, car having no gas for 1st day of vacation and then totally broke down when we had to transport family & belongings to Ferry but homeowner was quick to respond to everything and locals provided transport. Also property manager changed hands and we were not aware of this. Stressful start and finale but inbetween was great! This stuff happens!"

"We had a great time at the cottage. Our 2 year old grand daughter loved the s'mores by the fire. We brought along all we needed for Thanksgiving Dinner and the kitchen was so well equipped that we actually could have roasted our turkey there but we had that done at home. Frank and Val have thought of everything you might need for a great stay! Frank was very quick to respond to any requests we had and the instructions for use of the cottage were very clear. Would definitely stay here again and...

"If you are looking for a secluded spot, this is the place. We enjoyed going for walks and kayaking around the island. The kitchen is spacious so we did a fair bit of cooking, although it’s a short drive into town to go out to dinner if that’s what you prefer. The only drawback is that the downstairs bedroom was a bit loud because of pumps turning on and off at night, but if you’re a sound sleeper that shouldn’t be a problem. "

One bedroom fully equipped Mahone Bay luxury cottage

5/5 Excellent

My first review ever and it is excellent all around!!!

"This is an incredibly beautiful place to stay. It is meticulously clean and charmingly decorated. Everything you could want is included in the kitchen and bath. The bed is really comfortable, good blinds darken the room for sleeping, and it includes places to put your suitcases out of sight. Pam is so warm and friendly. I just can't say enough good things!! Can't wait to visit again. Jennifer"
