Wonderful place to stay.
We had a very enjoyable stay. The home is pretty, clean, and has everything needed to stay. The in house laundry was excellent to have. Saved much time trying to find a place to do it. Nancy was a great host. She was very attentive to our requests and answered our questions in a very timely fashion. Would stay her again.

Hide Away on St. Margaret's Bay
This spot is a great location to explore St Margaret's Bay area. The property was just as described. It had everything we could possibly need for our stay. The host was very receptive and easy to interact with and we loved the personal touches when we arrived. Thank you Nancy for sharing your little Hide Away with us.

Bay Hideaway Stay
Nancy was a great host, communication with her was a breeze. Apartment was nice and clean when we arrived, check in was easy. Groceries, gas and a farmer’s market nearby. Fabulous place to be to go see Peggy’s Cove and drive the Lighthouse Route or go into Halifax for the day. I’d stay there again. Jay
