Oceanfront Guest House near Peggy's Cove

Our oceanfront guest house has its own 150 ft path to an oceanside firepit. It is close to all local attractions, with Peggy's Cove 4 kms away, Halifax 40 minutes away, and Lunenburg and the Annapolis Valley about an hour's distance. It is a very private location, and the only sounds you will hear are the waves, wind in the trees, and birds. There are hiking trails close by at Polly's Cove, Peggy's Cove, and sandy beaches within a 5-40 minute drive. The place is equipped for any length of stay. This is an 1800 sq ft modern three-storey guest house, named "Ross Roost", which was built by the owner, a master carpenter, in 2010. It has a 2nd floor deck to enjoy outdoor meals, and it has a large screen TV and board games, to enjoy the indoors on rainy days. The ocean view from the deck is stunning year-round. Most rentals in the area do not enjoy the level of privacy this property offers, or this level of intimate access to the ocean. People can kayak or scuba dive safely from a small sandy beach on a neighbouring road: Paddy's Head Rd. There is a fine restaurant within a 5-minute walk, and a lobster pound a 5-minute drive away to get lobster and mussels year-round. As well, you can visit the local antique shop on the way to Peggy's Cove, where you will find all sorts of curiosities. IMPORTANT - SAVE 15% HST TAX ON ALL RESERVATIONS MADE PRIOR TO JULY 1, 2022.
