Nova Scotia Tourism Registration Number: RYA-2023-24-03271934149500512-432 The space We inherited this home from my parents who loved to share it. It has a fully equipped kitchen and open concept dining area with an ocean view. Downstairs, it has a TV for playing DVDs only, and a large sectional couch in the seating area which also looks out on the sea. Both levels have a full bathroom. Ours is a non-smoking property and no fires are permitted. This is a true cottage, surrounded by nature. Although we work hard to prevent the wildlife from entering the house, ants and even mice are infrequent but possible visitors. On the property, you may see foxes, raccoons, and many species of songbird. In the cove, we often have eagles - especially during the smelt run. In the sea, you may find oysters, sea stars, crabs (hermit, green and Atlantic rock), jellyfish, and many species of fishes as well as the occasional seal. In the cove, we often have a greater yellow legs (shore bird) and the gannets (seabird) are fun to watch as they soar and dive, hunting for fish. Guest access The entire house is yours to use - make yourself at home! We have some boxes and other things stored in 2 closets but that leaves 4 closets for you. Other things to note Pets are welcome everywhere but on the furniture. Please be kind to our septic system and flush only toilet paper. The cove is accessed by stone stairs that can be challenging if you are at all unsteady on your feet - please take care. Ours is a non-smoking property. We'd love to hear how it goes - please don't hesitate to let us know, and please sign our guest book! Registration Details RYA-2023-24-03271934149500512-432
