About this property

Stunning views! South Shore 4BR cottage - Walk to Hirtle's Beach

This 4 bedroom, 2 bath cottage is located on the South Shore in desirable Upper Kingsburg. Just under 1.5 hours from the Halifax airport, the cottage is also a short drive from Lunenburg and Mahone Bay and offers sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and Romkey pond. Well-equipped, yet simple, the home has 4 bedrooms on the second floor (2 queens and 2 doubles). One of the rooms is smaller than the others and is best suited for children or single travelers. Please note that the stairs are steep. There is a full bathroom on the second floor and a 1/2 bath on the first. Walk or drive to Hirtle's beach and the spectacular Gaff Point Trail and rinse off in the outdoor shower after a day out exploring. Whale watching, fishing, golf and great restaurants are all just a short drive away. The cottage has two sitting areas on the first floor and a separate den. There are two smart TVs on the main floor for steaming Netflix or your favorite apps, one in the living room and one in the den and wifi throughout. The dining table seats 4-6 and there is an additional drop-leaf table that can be added for additional seating. There is nothing fancy about the cottage, but we hope you feel as comfortable and at home here as we do. It's a special setting from which to explore Nova Scotia, or just spend the days relaxing with the views at home or on the beach.

Occupancy is capped at 6 people, however we also own a small studio cottage with a sleeping loft that is across the lane which may be rented separately, or in conjunction with the main house. If you are traveling with extended family or friends and are interested in renting the studio as well please inquire about rates.

Kingsburg older farm style house with marvellous views!
House is in one of the most prime locations in Kingsburg with exceptional views. Everything was very neat, and had been cleaned. Owner was super sweet and accommodating to last minute needs. Only small criticisms would be that furniture is super dated, the beds could be a bit more comfortable, and for off summer visits, there is no fireplace. But none of this lessened the joy of the location and proximity to Hirtles beach. There is also central AC downstairs, which we did not need as the cross vent on the hillside was excellent with windows open. Having coffee on the front porch looking at the sea, and at the horses, was a specific joy. We would certainly stay again.

Ocean views and accessibility
It was wonderful to be so immersed in ocean during our stay. Amazing views and seamless beautiful transitions to Hirtles beach gave us the connection that we were hoping for. We all enjoyed the great walks, swimming, surfing, and play. The house is a perfect combination of character and comfort! So beautiful!

Couldn’t be better!
From the thoughtful messages prior to our arrival and throughout our whole stay, Cat could not have been more attentive in helping us to plan our first visit to the area and ensuring that we had a wonderful time. The house is spacious, filled with beautiful art and books, was immaculately clean, with an excellently equipped and supplied kitchen, a comfortable deck with lovely views, and a Netflix-friendly TV. We loved the nearby Rose Bay store and LaHave bakery, both offering surprisingly good meals as well as supplies, and beautiful Hirtle’s beach. And even when we woke to a power outage in the area, Cat and her mother Carole did everything they could to ensure that we got accurate information and were as minimally inconvenienced as possible. We have rented many houses in many locations, but this was surely one of the best and we can’t wait to return!
