About this property

Spectacular location and new kitchen! Watch the tide change and diverse marine ecosystem from every room. 50 feet from private swimming and ocean front pursuits. Enjoy watching boats sail by and a variety of bird species from the wrap around deck.

Accommodation for up to six includes on the main level one double bed in master bedroom, one single bed in separate bedroom. There are two queen size beds in separate lofts on the second level as well as a futon. Although the ships ladder to the loft is abit steep and not for everyone, it is certainly popular with children!

Local amenities include the Hubbards sailing school a kilometre away, grocery store, liquor store and restaurants a 20 minute walk away. Hubbards beach is a 15 minute paddle away(canoe included). The nearby Aspotogan trail system offers endless trekking and cycling opportunities.

Situated just 30 minutes from downtown Halifax, 45 minutes from the airport. The perfect location for day trips exploring all the area has to offer. Close to Peggy's Cove and the small fishing communities that dot the South Shore.

Hubbards rental

The property was exactly what we hoped for cosy and with a sea view. There were plenty of amenities nearby and places of interest. Halifax was an unexpected treat too. Although the good weather helped we would certainly visit again and stay in the same property.

Clean & Cozy Cottage

Great location, good value. Cozy and comfortable for a week’s vacation. Only challenge is accessibility, I had assumed that both main floor bedrooms would be usable for adults but the small bed is just foam on plywood, so it isn’t practical for an adult to sleep in that room.

Great experience and good location.

Smoke alarms missing and the only one that worked was beeping with low battery and unable to reach. No contact number left anywhere to reach the owner. Still enjoyed the family time.

Hubbards Hideaway

My family had a wonderful stay at Matthias' cottage by the sea in Hubbards, Nova Scotia. The cottage is charming and has all the conveniences for a great family vacation. The view from the cottage of Hubbards Cove is beautiful. The house has a small beach, raft in the water, a canoe and a kayak. It is in a scenic and convenient location. Enjoy!

About the host

Hosted by Matthias MacLellan

I am from the area, I rebuilt this house with help from my father in 2012. I have been around the world and the rugged, pristine coastline of Nova Scotias South Shore is a truly special place. Summer rentals allow me to pay the mortgage and I am happy to share my slice of paradise.

Why they chose this property

I choose to buy this property because of the spectacular location and having the skillset and energy to turn it into something beautiful. I am a wooden boat owner and sailing enthusiast and hope to still be in this house as an old man.
