Vacation rentals in Upper Kingsburg

We cannot express how grateful we were to find Tina's property in our search for our trip to Nova Scotia. We wanted something quiet with a stunning view and this property did not disappoint. The property was exactly as described and shown, however once we arrived the description & pictures were X 100 ! Absolutely stunning location, the view was incredible, the house was gorgeous, beds were very comfortable and there wasn't a single detail overlooked on the entire property. We spent 6 nights and it was truly not long enough! We are anxiously planning our next visit for next year and cannot wait to stay at Tina's again. Thank you Tina !!

Follow the directions and you’ll find the cabin hidden away in the woods—it seriously feels like stepping into Narnia! It’s the perfect little escape for a weekend. Even though it’s a rustic cabin, it’s got all the essentials. The outdoor shower was a nice touch—really refreshing, and yes, there’s hot water!

Top shelf accommodation on the South Shore! From waking up to the sun rising over Hirtle Beach to listening to waves crashing around the surrounding bays on either side of this property in the evenings, this retreat truly gives you time and space to relax and turn everything off. As the old real estate saying goes— location, location, location, and this one can’t be beat… atop a hillside with beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean, Hirtle Beach, nearby farmland, deer grazing on the front lawn as the morning dew lifts for the day, and properties of architectural admiration in all directions. The house itself is well-equipped with everything you need and nothing you don’t. We enjoyed a few beautiful homemade dining experiences al fresco at the outdoor picnic table. The space is ultra functional and very comfortable— you’ll feel right at ‘home’. Our days were spent exploring nearby iconic beaches (Carter’s, Crescent, Hirtle, to name a few), and getting the local pulse of Lunenberg and Mahone Bay, with a quick day trip to Halifax (Bicycle Thief resto is our fav!). Paul and Alexandra top the charts as the BEST hosts. They made sure we arrived okay, provided excellent recommendations for nearby dining & activities, did a mid-way check in to make sure we were getting on, and a warm send off on our day of departure. To wrap up what could be an even more lengthy review, we’ll leave it at this: we hope to return and thank you for opening the door to your beautiful & unique home— there is certainly some magic there!

We had a wonderful stay at Pumpkin cottage. The advertisment just does not do the place justice. Barbara was a wonderful host and the property had everything you could think of. The decor was my style and loved having access to different areas of the home. Clean, tidy and friendly hosts. What more do you need. 5/5=would be back and would recommend to others. One little niggle is it would have been good to have some kind of Aircon. Fridge and eating utensils. Excellent

Wonderful house in a surreal environment. Catriona & Carole were fantastic to deal with, super accommodating and I would come back in a heart beat!

We had a great stay at this Dome. It was quiet and peaceful and had everything you could want for a relaxing getaway. Close enough to Lunenburg and Mahone Bay to make little trips in super convenient. We would stay again for sure!

Confortable, spacious, historic, with fabulous views, set in an excellent location just a minute from the beach and a short walk from Gaff’s Point trail. Cool ocean breezes despite the heat warning . Highly recommend.

Les Garcons created a beautiful life in Rose Bay and I felt privileged and lucky to have shared a small bit of it during my short stay. Things to be aware of: • The bathroom is on the ground floor, you have to climb up and down a pretty steep staircase. Wasn’t a big deal for me, and the staircase is very well lit with automatic lights. What I loved: • Warm, friendly hosts make you feel like you’re part of their family right away • Freshly baked banana bread on arrival – the best I ever tasted • Thoughtfully designed interiors. Many items of age don’t make the place feel dated, they are rather like echoes of the times past • Lots of local recommendations – in the guest folder plus personalized suggestions on departure • Lovely nook and many very interesting books (I wish I had the time to read them!) • A path through the garden towards the shore, with chairs to sit on and relax by the water • Quiet and serene, this place is full of love and acceptance. COME AS YOU ARE.
