The open concept kitchen, living and dining room invite conversation and cozy relaxation by the wood fireplace. Enjoy dinners around the diner table, with plenty more room for dining and conversation around the large kitchen island or curl up in the family room with a good book from our library, or play a game together from our game selection.
The cottage can comfortably sleep 8 guests (7 adults and 1 child). There are three bedrooms and one common sleeping area. The primary bedroom has a queen sized bed and an en-suite bathroom that includes a full bath, washer and dryer. The second bedroom has a double bed and is next to a full 3 piece bathroom.

Summary: The good: cleanliness is excellent, location is perfect, check in and out is easy, the kitchen, the view, the kayaks, the hot tub, and communication were all great. It looks just like the photos except the cottage is a little smaller than expected but still very nice. The bad: the master bedroom bed is rickety and not queen-sized. The master bathroom door is a pocket door that disappears into the wall and has to be retrieved by using your fingernails. Although outside the power of the host to change as it is a Halifax/ Nova Scotia issue, visitors should take note of the water restrictions and complicated recycling requirements, which do impact the enjoyment of your stay. Overall we enjoyed our stay here. Looking at the ocean every day is wonderful. The shaded deck was enjoyable as was the hammock.

Summary: Beautiful cottage and hotel on a lovely bay, in close proximity to Halifax and other area attractions.
Tracy G. Aug 6, 2025 08:23:34 AM
Summary: We had a wonderful stay at the Cape and would gladly give it a 5-star rating! The property was perfect for our large group, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The hosts were fantastic—very attentive, checking in with us throughout our stay to make sure we were comfortable and to see if we had any questions. One thing we wish we had known in advance was the water usage restrictions. While we completely understand the need for them, it would have been helpful to be aware ahead of time, especially with a large group. That said, we made it work and it didn’t take away from our overall experience.Our family had a truly memorable time, we loved being on the ocean, the beautiful sunsets and enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub at the end of the day. We are grateful for the beautiful setting and warm hospitality. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Summary: First is to comment on the hosts, they were great to deal with and very responsive to any questions. Our first impression when entering the home and seeing the view was breath taking. What a great deck to sit and watch boating activities or sea birds. Access to the water was easy and although water temps were still cool, we did go for a dip. The kitchen and living room are well laid out and very comfortable. An added feature was the hot tub located on the lower deck. The location is ideal for day trips to Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg and Halifax. We highly recommend The Cape to anyone looking to stay in the Prospect Bay area. We do have just one recommendation, to replace the down stairs bed with either a queen or even a king. Thank You Again

Summary: Cheryl and Michael were incredible hosts with great communication and a house book that covered all the bases. The house was lovely: incredible location and really nice inside. It was a great base for day trips (we did Peggy’s Cove and Lunenburg). I highly recommend. It was nice to have access to the private beach/dock and the kayaks and paddle board.

Summary: Great quiet location! The house was super clean and fully stocked. I really liked the bedroom on the main floor for my aunt who is a bit older. The sunsets are beautiful and communication was easy. We had a wonderful stay.
Erik S. Jun 21, 2025 11:00:12 PM
Summary: Wonderful property. Great location and views. The perfect place for us to celebrate our daughter’s university graduation.
Gail B. May 28, 2025 03:11:13 AM
Summary: Loved the house. Roomy enough for our group of 6. The house is very clean, well equipped and feels like a home away from home. The location is beautiful. Feels like a rural location but very close to downtown Halifax and many activities. The hosts were great, reaching out to make sure all was good and answering any questions we had. I would recommend this home!! Thank you Cheryl

Summary: Four of us came in from Ontario to attend a Conference in Halifax. The property we stayed in at Prospect Bay was wonderful and fit our needs perfectly. The host Cheryl was great to deal with and I would certainly recommend this VRBO to anyone visiting the area.
Mitchell T. Apr 29, 2025 10:34:26 PM
Summary: The property is gorgeous and boasts ocean views. At night, the stars are incredible from the wharf. The hot tub is under the deck and sheltered from the rain. I highly recommend this accommodation!
