A View to a Chill 3bed 2.5 bath

Welcome to A View to A Chill
The Navvy Town Neighborhood • Heritage Harbor Marina Resort • Managed by Harbor Inn Vacation Rentals

Nestled just steps from the marina, sand volleyball court, and pool, A View to A Chill is your ticket to laid-back living and waterside fun. With downtown Ottawa only five minutes away, you can spend your days exploring boutique shops, dining local, and catching live music before winding down on your private deck with views of the harbor.

Home Features:
This 1806 sq. ft. duplex retreat spans two levels and comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests, offering 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and multiple living spaces to relax, recharge, and connect.

Main Level Living:
The main floor features a stylish open-concept layout perfect for entertaining or kicking back after a day of adventure. The fully equipped kitchen includes everything you need to whip up your favorite meals, while the adjoining living room invites you to settle in with cozy seating and views of the marina.

Also on the main level is the Primary Bedroom, complete with a king-size bed and a flat-screen TV—perfect for movie nights. Just off the living space, step onto the private upper deck where you can enjoy your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine while soaking in harbor views.

Lower Level:
Head downstairs to find two additional bedrooms—each with a queen-size bed—plus a full bathroom and a spacious walk-out rec room, ideal for games, lounging, or extra hangout space. Whether you're traveling with friends or extended family, this level offers just the right amount of space and privacy.

Outdoor Space:
The upper deck gives you a front-row seat to marina views, while the lower level opens up to a grassy common area—great for stretching out or letting your dog get some fresh air. The Navvy Town neighborhood is peaceful, scenic, and just steps away from the best Heritage Harbor has to offer.

Parking:
This home includes two designated parking spaces located in the adjacent lot.

Home is spacious but lacks sound insulation between rooms and floors. Outdoor area could have been cleaner ie cobwebs alol over and tabletops were dirty. Overall our group enjoyed the house.
