This is a beautiful spacious cottage with a beautiful water view. It has everything you need in the kitchen and a barbecue outside. Out front with the sea view there is a lovely sitting area and fire pit. Inside gets nice and cozy with a propane fireplace. Having two bathrooms made things much easier for our little group. I would highly recommend.

This property is everything you would want & more! The home was exactly as advertised, but the pictures simply didn’t do it justice. The cottage was very comfortable, spacious & well appointed.

A lovely property inside and out! The landscaping gives a peaceful and private view of the bay. Nicely decorated with even small vases of fresh flowers tucked in each room. The owners respond quickly and provide detailed descriptions and information. We hope to return for a longer stay!

Beautiful East coast Cottage

We had a lovely stay in Deep cove cottage which was scenic and serene. It was close to both Chester & Mahone bay for restaurants. The couple who owned it were friendly and attentive and even brought me their Kayak to use.
