Beautiful private getaway
What a unique location this was. Located on a small island and one of only a few places around. A hidden gem. The owner, Phil, lives right across the road and was available and helpful with all needs. The house itself was great with newer appliances and all was all was very clean. This place is right on the ocean in a small little bay that was very beautiful for swimming and snorkeling. That being said, it is a rocky shoreline and not the easiest to enter the water, especially at low tide. It would not be a good spot for little kids, however, there are many nice beaches within a 10 minute drive. Traveling around the south shore attractions was east from this location and there were tonnes of things to see with an hours drive in either direction. I would not hesitate to return to this place in the future.

If you are looking for a relaxing get away spot with the sound of the ocean to accompany your day but with all the commodities of a modern home (no tv, good thing) then look no further!

Beautifully Peaceful!!!!
We loved everything about our stay! We were at the red roof for two nights and wish we would of booked a week! The views are wonderful. The location is peaceful and quiet with amazing wildlife views! We saw seals, birds, jumping fish, etc. We arose early to colorful and beautiful sunrises! The house is open and full of light and clean! We cooked in the kitchen both nights and everything we needed was there. Wish we had time for an outside fire and to use the grill. Phil and Catherine are awesome hosts and people! Friendly, welcoming and helpful! We cant wait to go back to the Red Roof and to visit our new "host" friends! If you are looking to be with nature, this is the right place!

Annual Sister Trip
My Sister, Nephew and I go on an annual trip to the beaches. This year did not dissapoint - Beautiful and tranquil. Phil met us and told us of places to swim and explore on foot from the cottage. Enjoyed sitting out back by the water, playing games on the large dining room table, relaxing and reading books and cooking in a well supplied kitchen. Normally we do take aways but with the view and beautiful kitchen it was enjoyable to cook. We enjoyed Bayswater and Queensland Beaches. Bayswater is only 12 mins away so we went three times! It would be a great place to bring your bike and kayak! I definitely would have enjoyed those activities as well. Remember a pair of sneakers (my sister didn't) as you will want to walk around and explore!

Perfect Cottage
The cottage is exactly as described in the pictures. Very clean and spacious for a family of four to play board games, read a book, or just relax watching the waves crashing on the shore. Phil was very responsive before and during the stay and love to come again on our next vacation in Nova Scotia.

If you need to unplug, stare at the ocean and recharge your battery in front of a crackling fire- look no further than the Red Roof to take a time out. You couldn’t ask for better hosts!! We can’t wait to go back and miss it already.

Poor bedding and pillows
The view is beautiful, the location is far away from just about everything. We had to drive 30 to 40 miles to get to a decent restaurant. It was November, so off season I'm sure, but still the drive to Peggy's cove is 40 miles. Next decent shore town is Lunenburg, which is about 35 miles. No TV, which was advertised, no radio. It you want to get in touch with nature, this is the place. Also, and most important, there are 3 beds basically on the floor with wood around them, very very uncomfortable. Pillows were so thin, I had to use 4 or 5 just to get some comfort. The fourth bed which is off the floor somewhat is still very uncomfortable. I told Phil the owner, these beds have got to go. Maybe he doesn't realize how uncomfortable they are unless he slept in one. Don't get me wrong, Phil was very nice and pleasant, nothing to do with him personally. I just think people should know what they are getting into before they rent. I am shocked that the previous reviews never mentioned the beds and pillows. Honestly couldn't wait to get home to sleep in my own bed. I also mentioned to Phil that the Wi-Fi in the house should be free because it's not costing him a penny for us to use. It's off of his internet in his house. I told him you are nickel and diming people at $10.00 per day for internet. Thank God for Wifi, if not, we would probably have lost are minds. At least you can stream with the Wi-Fi to watch something. Unless perfect solitude is your thing, then maybe no internet service works for you. P.S. Pick up groceries at Sobey's in Tatallion about 20 Miles away. Joe H Delaware

Joseph, let's be honest you were cranky and sore before you arrived and throughout your visit. You (not your wife) certainly made the top 2 on our list of guests we would prefer not to see back. You complained about the road and that it was dark when you arrived. I helped you carry your three big bags in at 1030pm - no thanks from you (the time you arrived - that's why it was dark, by the way). You arrived late, so the following day, I popped over to ensure everything was good. I said hey, good morning. The 1st thing you said was what's the wifi password - I said it costs $10 per day. You then went on this massive rant about owning a company for 40 years, then selling it for a million dollars, and charging $10 for the wifi was inappropriate in this day and age. You went on for quite a while complaining about it. All I could think about was my coffee was getting cold. If you recall, I gave you the password and received no thanks. The next thing you complained about was the beds. Wow. I can picture the palace you must live in back in Delaware, USA - it must be spectacular. We had a massive storm, and our area lost power. Regardless of your attitude, I offered for you to use our fridge and brought you over a cooler - still no thanks from you, but you made sure I knew you had spent $85 on food. (power was restored 3 hours later). You said you would light the propane stove top to heat the 1500 sqft house. That made no sense, so for safety and practical reasons, I came over and lit a fire in the actual fireplace for you - no thanks given. I received a phone call from your wife one night late in the evening asking if I had an iPhone charger you could borrow - I said sure, I'll get it to you tomorrow (we weren't going to be home till later). My 8-year-old boy dropped off the charger the following day. The charger was a little worn, but it worked. Joseph, regarding the TV, you are incorrect. It is advertised as "not" having one. You mentioned no "decent restaurants.” Nova Scotia, is beautiful and decent. Great restaurants are closer than you stated - the 1st one at 7.5 miles the next 3 at 8.6 miles - 14 miles puts you in a large suburb (Tantallon) with plenty of restaurants, and 24 miles puts you in the central city of Halifax population of 400,000 people. Your stated 30 - 40 miles is off. In Nova Scotia, we are intelligent and thoughtful, good ole down to, earth people who are kind. We care about others, even the irritable, cranky ones.

Peaceful Waterfront getaway
This was just what we needed. Celebrating our anniversary at this property was perfect. Waterfront on St. Margaret's Bay, we witnessed jumping Tuna fish and seals, and on land, just a few feet from us, deer. There is a unique, quiet road in, suitable for hikes, and there are trails on the property as well. The property is very nice with updated appliances and it sports a wood burning fireplace with unlimited wood. Within 5 kms of our property, we enjoyed a round of golf at Aspotogan Ridge Golf Course, and 20 mins away is the best Seafood Chowder ever at the Tuna Blue Inn. The property owners, Phil and Catherine are very "down to earth", easy going. Very nice for our first experience using Vrbo. I would highly recommend this property, 5 stars for sure!

Idyllic Waterfront Setting
This property was a perfect place to get away with friends. Phil was accommodating but not overbearing. It is located centrally to Peggy’s Cove and Lunenburg making both accessible for enjoyable side trips when you are not exploring this island and the beauty it offers. It has become the identifying ideal of Nova Scotia for us!

We enjoyed a great four day stay here. The host and his family were very accommodating and helpful, particularly as we arrived just after Hurricane Fiona. The best but was the wildlife, we saw and photographed deer, foxes, raccoons, eagles, ducks, cormorants and a giant tuna leaping out of the sea. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect getaway when we only had a couple of days. Did not miss a television or any electronic devices as the outdoors invited us to spend our time enjoying the beautiful property, awesome weather and quiet time. We like our privacy and certainly had that too, but knowing our very friendly and welcoming hosts were only a few minutes away offered peace of mind.

a tranquil paradise
We have stayed in the area a few times before but this property is by far the best vacation spot. The house is bright and clean throughout, the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals, and the views are spectacular. This is the perfect place to get far away from the busy world and enjoy the ocean in all its splendor. We saw so much wildlife while just sitting on the lawn in our beach chairs. We were lulled to sleep each night by the gentle sound of the waves. Our only regret is that we didn't book a longer stay, which we will do for next time. Thank you, Phil, for being a delightful host. We enjoyed every minute of our time at Red Roof.

Property overall is a wow! Beautiful home right on the water with everything you could need for a great vacation. Large kitchen if you decide to cook. Home is filled with light and great views from almost every room. Front porch is a great place to relax, read and enjoy a glass (or 2) of wine while enjoying the wildlife in the cove. We saw a seal, many seabirds, also deer and a woodchuck. Phil was a great host and we enjoyed chatting with him. Many restaurants fairly close by. Easy travel to both Halifax and Lunenberg. We both enjoyed our stay!

Tranquility. A Quiet Piece of Heaven
From our first communication, weeks in advance, to the moment of our departure, our 2 day stay at The Red Roof was tinged with magic. The view cannot be beat; and the host family excels at their craft. We felt as though we had were as far as we could ever be from the 'hustle and bustle' of society, but quietly and invisibly cared for if we needed anything at all. We were fortunate enough to meet the hosts' children - and, by chance, to hear their daughter sing - it is a memory we will hold dear. We enjoyed sunrises from a nearby cliff, saw a frisky seal hunting, a heron, an eagle, porpoises cresting, and a school of mackerel darting past. We walked through a beautuful, almost secretive, wooded trail to a rocky beach where we found sea glass and a delightful view of the Peggy's Cove lighthouse! St. Margaret's Bay is truly beautiful from all vantage points. If you have a few moments to get off the roller coaster of daily life, take a deep breath and submerge yourself in tranquility!

Lastly, and most importantly, the hosts - Phil & Catherine, were amazing to say the least. The communications was fast, their hospitality was generous and warm.

The Red Roof exceeded all of our expectations. The house was wonderful, the view & experience were exceptional & we wouldn’t have changed a thing. Swimming & exploring the island during the day, campfires each night, & falling asleep to the sound of the waves & the beautiful breeze blowing through the window each night are just a few of our favourite things about the Red Roof. We are both really looking forward to our next trip there.
