Beachfront Cottage on Beautiful St Margarets Bay - Ingramport, Nova Scotia

Ocean, beach, privacy.

Capture the moment as well as the imagination at this luxury air conditioned studio oceanfront cottage on pristine and beautiful St. Margarets Bay. You can have it all in our very spacious, open concept, modernized 'home away from home' that sits right on the water's edge.

Enjoy your serene surroundings, relax on the beach, enjoy your coffee in the morning on the oceanfront deck, splash in the sparkling ocean, swim, snorkel, watch the birds, boats, occasional porpoises and whales go by, kayak, fish and make unforgettable memories with your family or your significant other.

Sleeping Arrangements:
The cottage is fully furnished and has a queen bed, double bed, single bed, and sofa bed and sleeps up to two adults and three children or four adults comfortably.

Adventure and Activities:
Access to four sit on top kayaks at no additional charge with life jackets for adults and two small children included. Larger kayak has a glass window in the bottom and can be used by mommy or daddy who can paddle one small child around the bay where they can see crabs, fish, or lobster.
Take your children on a treasure hunt with the metal detector, play with skim boards, bows and arrows, or fish with the two available fishing rods.

On those rainy days hang out in the living room on the couch or the floating lounger, which overlook the ocean, cuddle up in a blanket and pick a book to read from our library, watch Netflix on the Smart TV, pick from dozens of movies on DVDs, play with the Wii or PS3, or bring out board and card games, Legos and puzzles to pass the time.

For your daily workout we have a boxing heavy bag, kids and adult boxing gloves, a fingerboard for climbers, and built in pull up bars. Additional fitness equipment can be provided upon request for your outdoor training sessions. (free weights, barbells and dumbells, etc.).

Great location, convenient for day trips to Halifax and Peggy's cove and whale watching in Lulenbetg. Enjoyed swimming at the private beech and spotting early morning dolphins from deck. Close to St Margaret Bay rail trail, biked 30km trips right from property north to Bike and Bean for lunch as well as 30km trip to Tuna Blue in Hubbards bay for lunch. Nice neighbors. Great freindly hosts Egon and Patty.

Best kept secret
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We arrived after midnight and Egon provided flashlights and helped us with our bags down the hill! The amenities were very nice; we felt right at home. There even was Nespresso which we enjoyed each morning. We were often away during low tide so we didn’t get a chance to enjoy the beach. My husband embraced fishing from the rock next to the cottage. We will definitely be back!

Quiet retreat
Awesome property on the St Margret bay. An easy drive to Halifax, Peggy’s Cove and Lunenburg. Owners were super accommodating and home was well stocked. The grass hill down from the parking was a bit of a hike to carry everything in and out. But once there it was lovely rain and shine.

Perfect in every way
This is the most amazing property we’ve ever visited. It sits right on the water and offers gorgeous views. Whether it’s cloudy, sunny, rainy, every day offers a different spectacular scene. There’s so much to watch. We spent hours every morning just sitting on the deck over the water. The house itself is very clean and very, very well maintained. It has a top notch heating/ac/dehumidifier system so inside is always comfortable and clean. It has everything you could possibly need. There’s even a water cooler with an extra bottle which was so convenient for filling water bottles for hikes. Egon and Party have done a wonderful job decorating and making use of the space. It’s a studio house, but each section feels very separate- a very clever layout. There are three kayaks so no need to rent. The area is perfect for setting in a kayak easily. The property is conveniently located to so many different areas for exploring—not far from Halifax, Mahone Bay, Peggy’s Cove etc. We especially enjoyed the Gaff Trail on Hirtle’s Beach near Lunenburg. There is so much to do but honestly, we would have been perfectly content to stay all day at the house. Patty and Egon were the absolute best hosts. Responsive to questions, so welcoming and just very genuinely kind people. I can’t rate this experience highly enough. We will be back every year!

Perfect holiday
Our time from the moment we arrived until our goodbyes to this beautiful area of Nova Scotia could not have been improved upon. Our wonderful host Egon, (Patty was away) , made sure our time and experiences were memorable. The house, private beach, kayaks and daily adventures to all the best the province could offer were ideal. We cannot say enough and know if you are looking for a true waterfront location with proximity to memorable destinations this is the place to be. The Rush family

What a great stay! They have added so many thoughtful touches like a punching bag and gloves, video games, movies, kayaks, fishing rods Etc etc. nice appliances, beautiful bathroom, super funky cottage! The private beach was AMAZING! Water is crystal clear, all the paper, kindling and dry firewood you could ask for! We loved having fires on the beach. The host is super responsive and helpful. It’s a beautiful, comfortable place to stay and is a great jumping off point for many sightseeing adventures. Cannot recommend this place enough. Kudos to the hosts for an exceptional experience!

A memorable experience - ocean living!
We rented Egon and Patty’s beautiful house for one week in October. It was a fantastic week of weather and amazing sunrises and the house is exactly as described. Located not too far from everything but just out of the way of the busy places. The house literally sits on the water and has its own private and pristine sand beach where you can just watch life go by - the loons, the tides, the ducks and the odd sailboat! We brought our two dogs and they were in heaven. The house is fully stocked and there is an outside patio to enjoy a glass of wine in the early evening with a fireplace. Equipment is first grade, especially the glass bottom kayak which is wonderful to tour the bay. Egon and Patty were fantastic hosts and attentive to all needs. We highly recommend this VRBO. A wonderful rental. Thank you again Egon and Patty. K & F.

Absolutely amazing!
We went to Nova Scotia number of times and each time we rented a property. This one is above all else. The location is magnificent, right on the ocean, literally! It has it's own private beach. The house is spacious with well defined sleeping zones, beautifully decorated. If the weather is not cooperating there is plenty to do in the house, great TV, DVDs, video games and regular family games and puzzles. There is also an exercise area within the house with pull up bars, ropes and yoga mat. There are 4 kayaks available with life vests, even for our dog! The house is absolutely spotless, clean beyond compare. And lastly, our hosts were so welcoming. Egon was always a text away if we needed anything. We felt right at home, wonderful place indeed! Thank you Egon and Patty!!
