“Beautiful Views, Comortable and Relaxing Home” As you drive into the beautifully graveled driveway and see the ocean at the side of the house you just know that this will be a relaxing vacation. When you enter the house you are invited in by a well equipped kitchen that leads into a beautiful family/living room. Downstairs there is a bedroom with a double bed and a three piece bathroom. Upstairs the master bedroom is the full width of the house with a picture window looking out into St. Margaret's Bay. Upstairs at the back of the house is a lovely bedroom with two double beds. As our friends had traveled from the UK we gave the upstairs bedrooms to them and took the down stairs ourselves. Back down on the ground floor the living room leads out onto a large deck which is fantastic for bbq's and just relaxing. This in turn leads to a large grassy area which in turn leads to a small private beach. The area around the house has many services and features and I can sincerely recommend it to anybody that wants a relaxing vacation within easy traveling distance of Halifax and the South Shore. All in all an excellent location and great value for money.

“the perfect get-away from loud and busy lives to take a break” I spent there just a couple of days three years ago but I was immediately in love with this place and came home feeling like I had been on a long-term vacation. Coming from a hectic life near Manhattan, I truly enjoyed being far away, embraced by open views to the gorgeous bay and nothing else but peace and quiet and nature. The house is modern, wide and open but yet warm and cozy in style. Waking up in the morning and seeing the glistening bay from your bed, taking a walk on the beach (refreshingly empty compared to NJ beaches!), having a drink in the afternoon on the porch while relaxing and admiring the sun set, eating lobsters in town, just wonderful. I am only sorry the golf course was not yet there; however, that's just another reason for me to come back.

“East Coast Charming” A historical gem preserved in time with all the modern amenities, in a pristine untouched idyllic setting of the Le Have Islands.

“An amazing getaway” The drive to this cottage is beautiful to say the least. A tranquil drive on the road with a different feel and a change of vegetation. Right in front of the house is a vast expanse of water. During low tide, the water goes out to expose 200 ft out to the sea. Once you get to the cottage it's gets even better. The outside looks flawless. Almost like a house out of a lovely short story. Inside is what tops everything. Everything looks new and it has a modern feel. The ceiling is amazingly high, giving an open feel. There are a lot of windows and are strategically places so you can see the sunrise and sunset overlooking the sea. The place had everything in it, including napkins, towels, all kitchenette, and the owner (who lives next door) also gave us an HDMI cable upon asking, which allowed for some good movie time. All in all, this was the most beautiful and homey cottage I have ever been to. It was certainly an experience and will be coming back for sure.

“Ideal location for a seashore holiday” My family and I spent a week at this property and thoroughly enjoyed the week. The house is spacious and well equipped with all the comforts of home and everything you need to prepare and serve meals. The seashore is, literally, in the back yard and a sandy beach, with rolling surf, is just 6K away. For fishing enthusiasts, there is an opportunity to fish off a wharf less than 1K from the property. The location is very rural, peaceful and quiet but Bridgewater, a popular shopping destination, is only about twenty minutes away. I would definitely recommend this rental property for anyone interested in a holiday by the seashore.

“relaxing, scenic home away from home” We loved the house and Sheila made us feel totally at home. the location was right in the heart of the town yet peaceful and quiet. we had all we needed and really enjoyed the satellite radio and TV when we were not out enjoying the town and bay view. There is plenty of room to relax and the layout of house is awesome. loved the awning, it gave us plenty of shade to sip cool drinks while using the BBQ. there was nothing we really needed that wasn't provided except maybe air conditioning if it got hot. the weather was great while we were there in July. To be right in town and still feel like you are in a private location is rare thing. to top it off the rates are excellent and we recommend Tides and Time to anyone looking for a great place to stay that is suited for couples and family. Loved it.
