This cottage was one of the most thoughtfully appointed properties I have had the privilege of staying. Beth thought of many comforts to ensure our stay was seamless. She left multiple personal touches that showed her attention to our stay which made us feel special. The beds are very comfortable and the linens are excellent. All of this is outshone by the fantastic location both in proximity but also the ocean views. We look forward to returning!

Great Family Stay

The cottage was new and the best equipped cottage we have ever had. This host goes above and beyond to make your trip and cottage experience special. Loved walking down to the waterfront and going for a swim and watching the sunset and ocean views from the cottage :(

We stayed 6 days in the cottage in late May. There is a beautiful view of Margaret’s Bay with gorgeous sunsets. It is fully equipped with anything one may need with attention to detail. The cottage is centrally located to explore the beautiful south shore beaches of Nova Scotia and is still in close proximity to Halifax and the airport. Our only complaint was the very small bedroom with no place to store or hang one’s belongings or clothing. The VRBO website shows a small “second bedroom” with a dresser for clothes. The room was apparently remodeled after the posted photo to add a closet with a washer, dryer, heat pump, and a water filtration system which emits an alarmingly loud noise at 2AM on a biweekly basis. Still the cottage is a little jewel and would be great for guests looking for one very nice bedroom.

Paradise at Sunset Bank Cottage

Two days of rest and relaxation in a beautiful little cottage with gorgeous views. This new build was pristine, well appointed, with thoughtful welcoming touches- personal welcome message in the chalkboard that included sunset time, basket of local toffees and bottle of bubbly, fresh flowers- and attention from the owner included hand delivery of a kitchen tool needed to complete our meal.

Wonderful place

The house is beyond words. Beautiful, clean, and so tranquil. All the small touches gave it that extra homey feel. The location is excellent. We had to leave a day early due to the Hurricane coming into Florida. The host was understanding and accommodating. We will be back. .

Idyllic Stay

Can’t say enough good about this property. The pictures do not do it justice. The care and attention to comfort and beauty was evident in every room. Beautifully decorated- every amenity- spotless- and stunning views…we were so sad to leave. Beth- the host- obviously genuinely cares about creating an amazing guest experience from her personalized welcome note, fresh eggs and cream in the fridge, a kitchen fully stocked with spices, oil, coffee etc. Also- great yard with deck and bbq. And at the bottom of the garden a little path down to the water and a private bench for sunset views or communing with the forest and the water. Super private and perfectly situated to explore the area. Don’t miss the sunset!

PERFECTION!

This cottage is located in the most ideal calming location overlooking St. Margaret's Bay! And very well appointed..had everything we needed...beautifully decorated! Beth, our host, was incredibly helpful and amendable with every detail along with recommendations of food stores, restaurants, and sites to see! Her communication was excellent. We taught our online barre fitness classes from the back deck overlooking the water! We are truly looking forward to returning next year and more...only wished we could have stayed longer! It was beyond our expectations...SUPERB all around! A true gem...

Perfect Paradise Nova Scotia Experience

Pictures don’t do it justice! The cottage is absolutely immaculate, clean, beautifully decorated, every detail so well thought out. The host was so helpful with touring the area, suggesting restaurants, shops and so easy to get in touch with. The kitchen is set up with everything you need to cook, bbq, keurig coffee machine (pods, tea, honey, sugar, cream), host put eggs from their family farm in the fridge for us, brought us a pot to cook lobster:) Bedrooms outfitted with high quality bedding, pillows, and mattress. Bathroom was spotless equipped with many toiletries. The view is spectacular with walk down to water and outdoor seating. It was completely private, quiet yet accessible and central to many places to go: Peggy’s Cove, fresh seafood, grocery stores close by. A definite complete Nova Scotia experience

Perfect stay!

My wife and I’s first visit to Nova Scotia and we could not have asked for a better house and a better host. Beth has thought of everything her guests might need. Immaculately clean home and so comfortable. Beth provided us with some eggs and coffee products. Combine with grocery stores in easy driving distance and it made for wonderful mornings. And the view? Incredible and inspiring. I loved my mornings and evenings on the little bench down the stairs leading to the bay. I got paid a visit by deer, a bald eagle and a good sized seal who would poke his head up and bark at me in the evenings! The view is just as good from the house. Not a fan of the outdoors? Then stay inside and enjoy the view of the bay from the house. The sunsets are awe inspiring. The hardest part is not wanting to leave such a beautiful place to explore Nova Scotia! But do get out and explore. The locals are so kind. So many good local dining establishments. The house puts you in easy driving range of Halifax and the charming small towns of the South Shore. One of the best vacations we have ever had! We hope to return. Thank you Beth and Sunset Cottage!

What a wonderful stay we had in this lovely cozy cottage! We stayed from June 20 to June 24 and enjoyed every moment! It was spotless clean with absolutely everything you could need for a home away from home! All the sites we wanted to see were within a one hour drive with Peggy’s Cove just minutes down the road! Fabulous host added her own special touches and recommendations which we used and enjoyed! We would definitely recommend this cottage and would love to return! Oh and the views were gorgeous along with a mama deer and her fawn visiting us each morning…. I could go on and on!!!
