Welcome to Dolphin's Rest! Your Historic Oceanfront Getaway Awaits!

Welcome to Dolphin’s Rest! We’re the proud owners of this historic Halls Harbour home and we’re eager to share it with you! Just steps away from the shore, this ocean-front property offers magnificent views of the harbour and Fundy’s famous, ever-changing tides. We have lovingly renovated and refurbished this charming home, trying to stay true to its special character while creating a relaxing retreat for our guests. Make us your home away from home while you enjoy your Nova Scotia holiday.

Halls Harbour is a popular vacation destination. In addition to the draw of the ocean views and the extraordinary tides, there are many other attractions to enjoy in the area. The Harbour is home to a number of businesses including artists, antiques and dining. The Annapolis Valley boasts fine wineries, orchards and gardens. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the beautiful Cape Split Trail and Blomidon Provincial Park. A visit to Huntington Point to explore the Fairy Cottages and picnic at the beach is a perfect day trip for families. Treat yourself to fresh seafood at the Lobster Pound at the pier, a two minute walk from Dolphin's Rest or check out the local restaurants in the Annapolis Valley. Of course, you always have the option of cooking for yourself in the fully supplied kitchen and spending your time relaxing at Dolphin’s Rest. Bring some of that famous Annapolis Valley wine home with you and sip it while you enjoy the ocean breezes and incomparable views.

Beautifull spot, cozy home, great restaurant. Spent a lot of time touring the area, was nice to come back and end the day on the deck watching sun sets.

Harbour front large house.

Was so great to have enough bedrooms for our large family. Loved being on the harbour and experiencing those amazing tides and being able to just walk over to the Lobster Pound restaurant. Great memories.

Best spot to relax

We loved our stay at Dolphins Rest!! Such a cute house, right on the water. There was plenty of room for the 7 of us in the house. Hubby had the best naps on the lawn listening to the waves! Watching the tides come in & out was amazing and we loved exploring the beach at low tides. Fires at night on the beach were relaxing. The hosts are very nice & offered lots of suggestions for places to visit & shop. We would highly recommend this house and hope to come back up in the future!
