The Orange House: A Charming Coastal Vacation Home

Welcome to Northwest Cove!

The Orange House is located on a hilltop overlooking St Margarets Bay. We are located on the Aspotogan Peninsula Hwy 329. The Aspotogan Peninsula is a well known biking route that offers striking seaside views. Northwest Cove is a small fishing community known for its coastal charm. We are located close to Hubbards, Chester and Mahone Bay. We are approximately 50 minutes from Halifax. There is something for everyone here on the South Shore and we are in perfect proximity to many sought after attractions. Popular beaches such as Bayswater (8 minute drive) and Queensland/Hubbards Beach (12 minute drive) are all very close for catching the evening sunset.

The Orange House features 5 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, full equipped kitchen, and washer/dryer. The bedrooms comfortably sleep 9 people and all have a wonderful window view of the ocean for the morning sunrises. This home is fully furnished and stocked with all the necessities. Relax or drink your morning coffee on the front patio overlooking the ocean. It’s time to get the family together and plan your next vacation right here in Northwest Cove!

Orange House on the Hill
Loved this place! Old home charm with all of the amenities. Beautiful views of St Margaret’s Bay from just about every window. Clean and neat as a pin with all of the little touches to make it feel like home. We LOVED meeting our neighbours and were made to feel like we were part of the community. Close to all the places we wanted to visit. A true Nova Scotia experience. Hope we can return to this beautiful area again.

Lovely Older Home
Was a quaint home. We had a great time in the area. Cooked breakfast together and then spent the days out sightseeing. Was nice to come back, do laundry, get refreshed, sleep and start another day. Only downside for us was, we charge our electronics at night, the electric plugs were beautifully ornate but not conducive to plug in assortment of charging cubes and cords. Thanks for sharing your home with us!!!

Unforgettable Peppa House
There are 3 piers around for fishing. A beach where you can dive. Shopping is also very convenient, less than 10 minutes drive. The house captures the family's history and it's amazing how well it's been maintained over the years. I had a great time here with my friends. A big thank you to Ben's family.

Perfect!
The property was exactly as pictured and described and suited our group perfectly. It was cute and charming and located on a quiet stretch of Nova Scotia country road with a few charming restaurants and shops a short drive away. The house had everything we needed and i would recommend it to other groups for sure.

Maison decevante
La propreté laisse à désirer grandement, très sale. Présence d’insectes à corriger, nous devions en tuer au moins 10 par jours, percé oerilles et bibittes d’humidité à carapace. Le premier soir en ouvrant la douillette de notre lit un perce oreilles se baladait dans nos draps. A notre arrivée nous avions seulement 4 chaises dans la cuisine et nous avons loué pour 9 personnes, comme la maison avait 5 chambres. Kit d’ustensiles pour manger incomplet, quelques-uns de nous devions manger avec une fourchette à dessert. Le confort des lits est totalement à revoir, vraiment inconfortable, matelas datant sûrement des années 60. Le wi-fi fonctionne à peu près pas, toujours juste une ligne et moins de force. Impossible de travailler de la maison si besoin. La propriété est annoncé comme si nous étions seule sur le terrain alors qu’il y a une autre maison à côté à 25 pieds porte à porte, désagréable quand tu pensais avoir loué pour être tranquille et seule, mes chiens ont jappé tout le long à cause du va et vient des autos des gens dans cette maison, car nous devions aussi partager le stationnement avec eux. Les ustensiles de cuissons étaient manquant parfois, nous pensions manger du pâté chinois et il n’y avait pas de pilon à patate, pas de balais pour nettoyer un peu, à l’extérieur nous avions deux chaises adirondak, nous avons dû en demander deux de plus car nous étions neuf, on a dû aussi demander les 5 chaises manquantes de cuisine pour manger. À 3800$ pour la semaine, je ne considère pas que nous avons été bien reçu. Trop de choses désagréables. Je ne recommande pas cet endroit pour louer.
