Secluded High-Tech Luxury
It was the perfect getaway with plenty of room to spare for our two families. The quiet rural setting within a short scenic drive to beautiful beaches made for a very relaxing weekend. It has all the amenities you could possibly want in an extremely comfortable layout, with room to gather as well as to find a private corner for time to yourself. Everything in the house worked as it should and communication was timely and efficient. I only wish we had more time to enjoy the enjoy the property.

Leaves you wanting for nothing
It was a wonderful couple days with the family. Closely located to shopping but far enough away from everything to decompress and relax. You couldn’t ask for anymore amenities, the house had everything. We had an amazing games night complete with a shuffleboard tournament! Thank you again Chris.

Exactly as advertised. Fantastic location with great views. Very private property. Close enough to drive to Halifax and enjoy the city but away from the noise and traffic when you want to enjoy the country.

Natures Nook
Truly it is a natures nook. The house is surrounded by trees. As we drove up to the house there was 3 rabbits hopping around. Every day we were greeted by rabbits.
The house was very nice and spacious. Everyone had something to do there. From outdoor activities to late night movies in the theatre room.
Thank you to the host Chris for sharing his love of putting things together. From the Lego Titanic to the other boats and ships around the house.
The house is very well laid out. I am sure the next visitors will enjoy this as much as our family did.

Doesn’t actually allow parties 20 & under like listing
I booked this beautiful spot for my 34th birthday bash (dancing and music inside). Unfortunately the owner of the property is away and his mother is taking care of it. I’m writing this review to warn others of the overzealous mother. The property listing says guests up to 20, sleeps 10. However, the mother spied on us using the security cameras demanding guests be brought down to 8 (this is the number I booked) despite what the ad says. She barged in to the home at 6am to take illegal photos (as clearly stated in Canadian law and the VRBO privacy policy) of all of my guests SLEEPING, without their consent and she felt she was entitled to do so because she was mad that there were more guests than 8. I kindly explained to her nicely that we were willing to pay the extra guests as I did not want to send my guests home drunk and lots of them worked the following day so that they wouldn’t be spending the second night there. She counted 17 guests (within the 20 person limit as said in the listing, guests may host parties and have up to 20, which I disclosed from the time of booking) She took illegal pictures with the sound on, to try and intimidate us further. She wouldn’t leave the property with the illegal photos in hand until I had e-transfered her $500 for the extra guests, ILLEGALLY, as all payments must go through the VRBO website or app. She extorted and robbed me. Once she left she then sent texts and threatening messages through the Alexa to try intimidate us and harassed me with phone calls from noon until 2pm when we left a day early. The Stay and my birthday was ruined by a harassing judging mother who called me disgusting. I will be filing a police report as she breached Canadian privacy laws and for her extortion. This should never be a guests experience. 0/5 stars from me.

Great experience at the home. Able to do lots of planning with our group. Beautiful nature walks. And great entertainment set up. Living room tv has an amazing surround system. Shuffle board and theatre in the basement were awesome too.
