Sea Escape- Near Halifax, Sleeps 6 with ocean views.

'Sea Escape' offers a quiet and relaxing environment to enjoy the beautiful Harbour and Atlantic Sea Views, yet within driving distance to Halifax and the Airport and other attractions.
We are situated on the famous Sambro loop, just south of Halifax, which also includes the delightful and stunning Crystal Crescent Beach (only 10 mins away).
We are within driving distance to many of Nova Scotia's attractions such as Peggy's Cove, Lunenbourg and many other tourist destinations .
Sea Escape is ideal for couples and small families in the recently refurbished upstairs accommodation which offer amazing views of the Harbour and the Atlantic ocean only a few yards away.
Come and Relax and Enjoy the new public Wharf only a short stroll away.
The area offers many trails and hikes and suites all travelers whatever the reason for your visit.
We are usually around if you require any information of assistance but usually leave guests to enjoy the peaceful environment to explore on their own.

Please not that we do have cameras on the outside to capture the amazing sunrises overlooking the Harbour and the occasional animal such as Deer, Racoons and Bear that have been seen in the area.

Please let us know if you have any questions of if we can do anything to make your stay more enjoyable

Quite and Relaxing
The place is really clean and the views of the bay from the room were breathtaking. Also being able to have a meal on the dock and watching boats in the bay was very relaxing. I would stay there again.

Ketch Habour in October
Ketch Habour is a beautiful little community. The view from our rental was amazing! We could see the ocean out the main bedroom. The rooms were lovely and easily accommodated two children and three adults. There were even toys for the kids! The hosts were extremely welcoming and informative of what was available in the area. We would love to return!

Wonderful Stay
We had a wonderful stay at this very neat and lovely place. It's quiet, close to the Halifax, and within 3 mins walking distance to the wharf, making it perfect for fishing whenever you want. The owners are incredibly nice and responds quickly to any questions. Highly recommend!

Place was great, walking distance to pier. A bit of a drive for supplies. Lots of room for everyone including 1.5 bathrooms. Was quite hot when we arrived after a very long drive, no AC was not great thing for us, but lucky it cooled down a bit making sleeping better later on. Could hear other people in other unit below us from our bedroom when trying to sleep. Would have liked a washer/dryer in the unit to freshen towels etc. The Hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Great Location and Gracious Hosts
The property was clean and as advertised and the location was ideal for exploring the south shore or quick trips into Halifax. Dominic and Rachel are gracious hosts who did everything to make our stay memorable. While we were there, they offered suggestions for activities and tips for sight-seeing as well as made sure that we were comfortable. They were quick to respond to any questions prior to the trip as well.

Ketch Harbour
Our host was lovely. She provided suggestions that we appreciated. The place was clean and the beds comfortable. The kitchen and bedrooms are upstairs which was fine with us, but may not be for some. The kitchen area and fridge are small which posed a bit of a challenge because there were five of us.

Cozy and welcoming apartment
My 17 year old son and I stayed at the apartment while visiting universities in the Halifax area. It was wonderful to be able to have easy access to the city while also being able to retreat to the amazing beauty of Ketch Cove. The apartment is comfy, has great views and everything you need for a stay. Dominic and Rachael are about the nicest people you will ever meet, and they were very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. Highly recommended.

Wishing we could have stayed longer!
Dominic and Rachael have a charming spot with a stunning view in Ketch Harbour. We were excited to find a Vrbo that was both available for a single night (since we were booked into another spot the following night), and had a view of the ocean for my partner who was travelling and seeing the East Coast for the first time. I was really pleased with the timely and friendly correspondance that Dominic started as soon as we confirmed the reservation, and I found they were very easy to reach through the booking and staying process. At check-in, we had Dominic greet us in person - he and his family live in the adjoining and below units of the house that contains this upstairs rental unit. We loved the easy access to a picturesque public wharf just down the road and within view from the property. Dominic was generous enough to encourage us to take a shortcut through his front yard to access the sunset view, which really helped us feel at home and less awkward as we hadn’t realized the rental property was a unit within a family home. We could see why people book longer term rentals at this spot for its amazing location and beautiful bedroom view. Come prepared to make meals using a toaster oven/air fryer, induction hub and microwave as there is not a full kitchen. We can’t wait to come back to enjoy the kayaks when we have more time! Be sure to mention your interest in any of the advertised amenities ahead of time to ensure you get to access to them if you’re shorter on time.

Great hosts!
Ketch Harbour is a quiet, peaceful community. Dominic and Rachel were wonderful hosts. We were there through hurricane Fiona in 2022 and although we were without power for 2 days, we were well cared for and they made sure all our basic needs were met. The place was exactly as listed.

Great place for our family of four adults! Loved the view of the harbor. Limited kitchen but we were able to eat continental breakfasts with the toaster oven and small fridge. Watch the water temp…when it says hot water it means HOT!!!! Hosts were great and responsive!!!

Highly Recommended to Visit
My friends and I stayed at the Sea Escape 2 over the weekend for a mini-vacation, and we had an amazing experience! The location is perfectly placed in the center of nearby attractions: Crystal Crescent Beach was 10 minutes away in one direction, and Duncan Cove hiking trails were closer to 5 minutes away in the other direction. Halifax is not too far away either, so you are not completely isolated if you need something from the city. The property itself was very well thought out. The aesthetic and style were very cozy and welcoming, with an amazing oceanfront view to wake up to just outside your window. It truly fits the Sea Escape theme! We were blown away by how much care and attention to detail was put into the place. Rachael and Dominic are very humble and welcoming. They really put a lot of care and love into the place and into making sure visitors are taken care of with just as much love. We felt at home away from home and we couldn't have asked for a better host! Thank you for the amazing experience! I will definitely be coming back again for more adventures!

Amazing location and hosts
We stayed for a week and enjoyed our stay in Ketch Harbour. The place was very clean, tidy and had everything that was needed for a comfortable stay. The location is very close to the harbour and there’s a beautiful ocean view from the bedroom. There are lots of other coves and bays nearby to explore as well. Rachael and Dominic are amazing hosts and are very helpful and welcoming. They both have good recommendations for places to see in and around Ketch Harbour and Halifax. I highly recommend their place at Ketch Harbour. Thanks again!
