This place was perfect for us. Great location, great views, perfect amount of space - we could have fit more in, but we are only three; it just meant we had lots of space to move. Owners were amazingly responsive. No complaints at all. Everything was lovely.
We loved our stay at Sea Escape. The view of the harbor in the morning from the bedroom in is unmatched. It was a perfect size for the two of us and we appreciated the location -- not far from sights like Peggy's Cove or from the Halifax waterfront but also in a quiet area away from traffic. The hosts were very helpful, especially when we had questions.
The place is really clean and the views of the bay from the room were breathtaking. Also being able to have a meal on the dock and watching boats in the bay was very relaxing. I would stay there again.
Enjoyed the warm hospitality of the hosts and cozy apartment, just a short drive from Halifax. Great access to the city while enjoying a stay on the water. Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful stay at this very neat and lovely place. It's quiet, close to the Halifax, and within 3 mins walking distance to the wharf, making it perfect for fishing whenever you want. The owners are incredibly nice and responds quickly to any questions. Highly recommend!
Perfectly situated on the edge of Halifax only a 20 min drive away. This cute little house has great views of the Harbour ftom the one room and is quite cozy. Perfect for 2 friends getting away for R&R and doing research at the same time
The rooms were very clean and it was a beautiful, quiet area. However, I wish some of the description had been more clearly detailed, such as it being on the second floor. Nonetheless, the hosts were extremely nice, and it was a fun trip, despite some unfortunate weather.
Ketch Habour is a beautiful little community. The view from our rental was amazing! We could see the ocean out the main bedroom. The rooms were lovely and easily accommodated two children and three adults. There were even toys for the kids! The hosts were extremely welcoming and informative of what was available in the area. We would love to return!
Our host was lovely. She provided suggestions that we appreciated. The place was clean and the beds comfortable. The kitchen and bedrooms are upstairs which was fine with us, but may not be for some. The kitchen area and fridge are small which posed a bit of a challenge because there were five of us.

Place was great, walking distance to pier.
A bit of a drive for supplies.
Lots of room for everyone including 1.5 bathrooms.
Was quite hot when we arrived after a very long drive, no AC was not great thing for us, but lucky it cooled down a bit making sleeping better later on.
Could hear other people in other unit below us from our bedroom when trying to sleep.
Would have liked a washer/dryer in the unit to freshen towels etc.
The Hosts were very friendly and helpful.
Dominic and Rachael have a charming spot with a stunning view in Ketch Harbour. We were excited to find a Vrbo that was both available for a single night (since we were booked into another spot the following night), and had a view of the ocean for my partner who was travelling and seeing the East Coast for the first time. I was really pleased with the timely and friendly correspondance that Dominic started as soon as we confirmed the reservation, and I found they were very easy to reach through the booking and staying process.
At check-in, we had Dominic greet us in person - he and his family live in the adjoining and below units of the house that contains this upstairs rental unit. We loved the easy access to a picturesque public wharf just down the road and within view from the property. Dominic was generous enough to encourage us to take a shortcut through his front yard to access the sunset view, which really helped us feel at home and less awkward as we hadn’t realized the rental property was a unit within a family home.
We could see why people book longer term rentals at this spot for its amazing location and beautiful bedroom view. Come prepared to make meals using a toaster oven/air fryer, induction hub and microwave as there is not a full kitchen.
We can’t wait to come back to enjoy the kayaks when we have more time! Be sure to mention your interest in any of the advertised amenities ahead of time to ensure you get to access to them if you’re shorter on time.
The hosts were excellent. They have done an amazing job of transforming an old school house into a cozy get-away location. Our party was 3 single adults and the bed situation suited us perfectly. The ceilings are a bit low on the sides of the rooms which wasn't a problem for us. It's a nice location to explore the south shore of Nova Scotia or nip downtown for live music or a walk along the waterfront. You will need a car.I highly recommend these hosts and would love to return one day.
Dominic and Rachael have been lovely hosts. They were there to greet us and give us the inside scoop on all the best spots and fun things to do! Coffee out on the water was a beautiful way to start our mornings. I would recommend this home to everyone I know and can’t wait to come back again!
Dominic and Rachel were wonderful hosts who greeted us with a warm welcome and suggestions of fun activities. The apartment was clean, comfortable and had amazing views!
Our stay here was amazing. Our hosts Rachel and Dom were absolutely awesome. Very accommodating and very knowledgeable about the area. Only 20 minutes from Halifax, you can enjoy the quiet of rural Nova Scotia or the hustle and bustle of Halifax. We would definitely stay here again if we are lucky enough to visit Nova Scotia again
The property was clean and as advertised and the location was ideal for exploring the south shore or quick trips into Halifax. Dominic and Rachel are gracious hosts who did everything to make our stay memorable. While we were there, they offered suggestions for activities and tips for sight-seeing as well as made sure that we were comfortable. They were quick to respond to any questions prior to the trip as well.
