Luxury Waterfront Estate for Weddings, Events, Content Creation, Family Vacay
Dreaming of the sun, surf, and sand on a famous Nova Scotia surfing beach where your home away from home is only a short distance up the road? Welcome to “Saltwater Hideaway,” a marvelous glass-front six bedroom, three full bath, architecturally designed home that offers a panoramic view of Cole Harbour inlet. This ocean harbour home is located on a very private 4 acre lot and is only a short drive from your choice of beaches, including Lawrencetown, Conrad’s, Clam Harbour, Rainbow Haven, and Martinique Beaches. If city life is on your agenda, you are 15 minutes from Nova Scotia’s two largest cities. Business or pleasure, this home is your dream getaway.
Begin your day sipping a favorite beverage while sitting on the spacious safety glass paneled deck or relaxing at the large 8-chaired dining table while you gaze through the wall of south-facing windows at the panoramic water view. The smell of salt air accompanies the sight of bald eagles, osprey, blue herons, ducks, sea otters, and other wildlife. The unfettered view of the stars at night accompanied only by the sound of sea birds will complete your day in this quiet retreat.
As you enter the home, your eye is drawn across the gleaming birch flooring to the stunning water view beyond. The open concept main floor is perfect for entertaining, with a welcoming sunken living room, connected dining area, and spacious kitchen with center island and loads of counter space and cupboards. The bright kitchen has easy access to the deck and barbecue area via the mud room. A new reverse osmosis water treatment system provides you with fresh, filtered water and ice. Two large bedrooms (one with bunk beds and a crib), a full bath, and a laundry room complete the main floor.
Walk up the winding stairs and you are met with a spacious, romantic loft style master suite boasting a terrace overlooking the water. Walk through a large open closet to the connected ensuite, which features a 6 foot long, extra deep soaking tub, a double vanity, and a huge glass shower.
A fun space for adults and children alike, the spacious finished basement sports carpet throughout. A children's bedroom equipped with twin bunk beds is located on this level, and the expansive connecting home theatre includes a large TV, theatre screen, and surround sound system, allowing you to enjoy the experience of a cinema in the comfort of home. Around the corner are two additional bedrooms (one with an ocean view), a bathroom with shower, and loads of closet space.
Outdoors, an outdoor kitchen equipped with a sink, bbq grill, and pizza oven awaits your culinary talents. This space (shared with the on-property cottage) boasts a bespoke fire pit with seating for up to 28 people. Please be mindful of the privacy and comfort of cottage guests when using this space. Also please consult the current regulations regarding fires; on account of the widespread forest fires, provincial fire bans are declared throughout the year.
Guests are welcome to request use of the outdoor swim spa and hot tub during their stay. Due to the excessive amount of time required to service these amenities combined with the high draw on electricity required to run the swim spa, they are offered at a cost of $75/per night for the entirety of your stay. If the swim spa gets high use during your stay, it will need treatment. If you are not willing to treat the water yourself (with host guidance), service can be arranged in advance at a cost of $80.
Relax in this paradise, swim and surf in the ocean, lunch nearby at a café on top of a hill, walk the trails and take pictures of coastal birds and wildlife, or adventure to the cities. You can have it all within half an hour in either direction of this luxurious home.

Bedrooms on seperate floors provided privacy while we all enjoyed the view off the deck. Ample parking, water view, wildlife, and comfortable beds were all a win for us.
We were a family of 12 and the property was fantastic. The common areas let the conversation flow and board games to be played. Visiting Halifax was great and we were close enough to come back and go out again. Carla was a great host. Very responsive and helpful
This beautifully decorated home has a breathtaking seaside view that is perfect for any vacation or event. We rented this property for a company cookout, so I was pleasantly surprised that Carla had fully stocked the kitchen with everything we needed to serve up a large seafood dinner. The rooms were comfortable and elegant and everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed their stay.
The only negative point was some initial confusion on the per guest fee and the rental price. However Carla was very understanding and this did not become an issue for our stay whatsoever.

Liked: Cleanliness, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
Avoidable disruptions, misleading descriptions, and a host who took no responsibility, all majorly reduced the quality of our stay.Mislead on the number of bedrooms: there are 5 bedrooms, not 6. One of the bunkbeds is in the downstairs common area.Mislead on the number of beds: Main floor kids room says 1 single bunk and 2 single beds. Not true, there is only 1 double bunk bed.Other guests surprise! Day of arrival the host said "There will be guests at the cottage during your stay. Please leave a spot for them to park next to the garage door." Wait - what? There are other people staying on the property? When I said I did not know this the host responded "it's in the listing". I re-read the listing and it says "(shared with the on-property cottage)". This did not jump out at me as other people will be living in said cottage. Since then, the host has improved the listing with additional text "Please be mindful of the privacy and comfort of cottage guests when using this space." I think is this more clear?4AM wakeup by a big rig truck reversing sound & lights beaming into the bedroom. This of course coming from the "cottage guests".Construction going on - was another invasion of privacy and tranquility. When I contacted the host her response was "The contractors know to only work near the house when the guests are not present."While the place is beautiful and has a great view, the atmosphere was ruined and coworkers bed arrangements were less than ideal.
