Bring your own food and clothes, as everything else is provided. The home is on a septic system and water cistern so caution must be used with water usage and nothing but toilet paper flushed down drains. This home is a cottage on the ocean and not a resort or hotel. Eco conservation must be practiced. No smoking, cannabis, or vaping allowed inside the cottage. Nova Scotia has a strict environmental recycling waste program, therefore bins and guidelines are available to follow during your stay. Ceilings are lower because of the age (approx. 6’ 7”) and steeper stairs. Full access to entire home except garage. There is no daily housekeeping service. There will be extra linens for extended visits and a change of towels provided after a week. I will be a phone call away if you have questions or concerns.

If you want to experience the sights and sounds and tourism of Halifax then you’re 25 minute drive away. 45 minutes drive from the airport. To get here a vehicle is required. Not on the bus route. This is a cottage on the ocean not a resort, therefore it is on septic and water cistern. Eco responsibility is essential as it’s not a hotel and the water cistern holds 6000 litres. This is an original fisherman house back when homes were built by the community. Therefore, the ceilings are lower than normal (approx. 6 1/2 to 7 ft) and the stairs are steeper then modern code.
