Easy check-in process. The property was super clean and well maintained. Enjoyed the views from the upper and lower decks, especially from the hot tub. Located in a great location.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the amazing fishing. Saw seals from the cottage and dolphins in the inlet. Great location and amenities local to the property.
Beautiful location with a stunning view to enjoy. Cottage was spacious, very well kept and the owner made sure we had all we would need from coffee/tea, dishwasher/washer pods to ice packs in the freezer. All your needs are met for a very enjoyable time here.
The property is absolutely lovely and exceptionally well equipped. The beds were comfy and the house very clean.
Amenities are a stone’s throw away (groceries, liquor store, hardware), which is always handy for that last minute need.
The host is extremely responsive and kind.
Would love to stay again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time there! It was a beautiful location and the home was lovely and clean. Scott was a superb host and correspondence was always in a timely manner! Would highly recommend this home. Thank you Scott from the 4 Aussies!
Fabulous location. The house was beautiful and very clean. Felt like home as soon as we walked in. Scott the owner was so good. Replied to us immediately with any questions we had, When someone else rents this place I know they will be as happy as we were..
A perfect little getaway. The property was the cleanest I've even seen. The added little things show that the property owner cares and wants you to be able to just sit back and relax without having to worry. We will return next year for sure!
Great location! Super clean!
Really quick response from the Host.
The chalet is representative of the photos, even better! Lots of practical accessories.
We all enjoyed it. Beautiful moments for the family. I would go back without any fear!
Thanks for everything :)
Scott’s place was the perfect anchor for us to explore so much of Nova Scotia. We are all from California and there was so much to see and appreciate. The country was amazing, And Scott was the best host possible. We asked him about firewood, and he showed up that day and chopped some more for us. The house couldn’t have been more welcoming, functional or beautiful. Thank you for a wonderful time.
We really enjoyed our stay at Cottage Cove! The view was amazing as was the deck and gazebo to enjoy it from! The house was fresh, super clean and equipped with everything we needed! We launched our own boat and enjoyed exploring the coves! Due to the weather we didn’t get to enjoy the fire pit or the kayaks but we made good use of the TV and all of the movies! We had 3 kids under 8 who enjoyed the large lawn and the big rocks! Thank you so much for sharing your little piece of paradise with us!
We spent 5 wondeful days in the cotttage of Scott Jones.
The cottage was fully equipped with everyting you need and a little bit more.
The master bathroom was very nice, large sized and with a large walk-in shower - we loved it. The living area was simultaneous a little entertainment area with very large tv, sondbar and amazon fire stick - very nice.
The weather was very beautiful, so we were able to use the nice outdoor area of the property.
Thanks to Scott and his family that we were allowed to use his cottage for a while.
We felt like at home.
The panoramic view of the water is magnificent! We got to see a rare rainbow and the moment the rainbow appeared a ruby throated hummingbird appeared next to us on the upper deck!
We loved having breakfast, lunch and dinner, reading books and playing Scrabble on the deck right outside the kitchen. We could watch the great blue herons and the ospreys fish and frolic in the waters around the cottage!
Scott and Nettie were so warm and welcoming and answered all of our questions! They made great recommendations for local restaurants, bakeries and farmer's markets. Thanks so much for your kindness and thoughtfulness!
10/10This place is a gem. The owners make it feel like a true vacation spot with every little detail taken care of, things that you might not even know you need. Ample space in and out for relaxing, the massive hot tub was a win with our ladies weekend retreat. Will definitely book again!
Nice waterfront property with all amenities. Well equiped kitchen and 3 good size bedrooms. Truly enjoyed our stay here with a family of 5 (adults)

There aren’t enough great things to say about the owners and this property! A definite must stay with a stunning view, spacious home and all the amenities you can think of. We highly recommend staying here and hope to be back soon!
Had a lovely stay with our family. Cottage has everything you could need - all details taken care of. Very responsive host as well. The area is beautiful and it was centrally located for many day trips to other parts of the island. Hope to come back soon!
We all had a good time and the property was great. The owner thought of many of the little things like having condiments and soap available for our stay.
