Oceanside Home within the City; A Cycle Away!

This summer home is located at the head of Herring Cove; there is 48m of waterfront. Have fun exploring, roaming the rocks or kayaking the Cove of this private shore. We have a kayak for your pleasure. Enjoy the spectacular view from the hot tub or the spacious deck. Herring Cove has much to offer with its hiking, sight seeing, simply sitting at the dock, or visiting our popular Pavia Cafe. It is a 15 minute drive to Downtown. This is a great spot for cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts. A quaint, incredibly clean cottage that is comfortable and well decorated, you can feel the call to the sea inside; this is a beautiful property - a photographer’s mecca. There is a kitchen with full amenities and a BBQ (May 1- Dec 1) for your home-away-from-home experience. There is plenty of outdoor furniture so you can relax and enjoy the fresh air, but if you want to stay in, there is WiFI, cable, and a 40” TV. The basement is locked unless you require a place for storing bikes. Just a note that I will have to mow the lawn and tend to the Hot Tub, I will make every effort to do these chores when guests are out. We also have a newly built home and neighbours so we ask that we be “good neighbours” and be respectful. Thank you. Guests can have full access to the house, the basement is unfinished but ideal for storing bikes, kayaks, and gear. There is a dryer, a ping pong table, a work bench and other personal items in storage. The basement also has extra household products, garbage and recycling bins. The basement is not finished and not fancy so please keep expectations low. We live 10 minutes away and are available to help our guests in anyway. This is a combination of a quaint fishing community and a modern new area. Although secluded we do have neighbours. It is close to the city but the cove is active and busy with fishing boats, the Pilot Boat, sailboats, kayaks, and motor pleasure boats. There is a bus service available but it is recommended having a car if you plan to stay here. We are fortunate to be located on the popular cycling route of the Herring Cove/ Sambro Loop. Avoid the city traffic and start your ride right from the doorstep - the route is quiet with rolling hills. If hiking is your thing we are within 10 minutes to several coastal trails including Duncans Cove, Herring Cove Provincial Park, and Crystal Crescent Beach. Walk or drive to the local Pavia Cafe and Art Gallery, a popular destination for cyclists, hikers and all visitors. Hungry? Walk two minutes from your stay and grab some donair pizza or fish and chips from our local diner Now We're Cooking. If the water is seasonally warm, swimming and snorkelling are available. We even participate in the annual New Years Day Herring Cove Polar Dip. It's a well kept vacation home with a very private large oceanside deck and hot tub. Be active or just relax and watch ships, fishing boats, pleasure boats, the Pilot Boat or watch the sea birds and nature abound.
