As soon as you step in the door, you have that 'wow' feeling. A great room with floor to ceiling windows looking out over the Annapolis basin. You are in the center of Thorne's Cove, with manicured areas around the house for quiet enjoyment. The floors are maple, the ceiling is 10 ft. high with no columns or walls. The fixtures are European, all high end. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite counter-tops, and a 36 in. professional gas stove. All that you need is at hand. The master bedroom has a queen sized bed, with views over the ocean. The second bedroom has two twins. All cabinets are beautifully built in. There is also a double futon in the living room. Bathrooms feature high end fixtures. There is WI-FI,, along with satellite TV, and a stereo system. Outside is a large deck and a choice of seating areas. A BBQ is provided.
It's unique, modern and amazing.
Top quality architecture and construction, with high ceilings, suitable furniture and amazing views of the ocean. Peaceful and quiet.
We can't say enough about our stay.House was spotless on arrival.Everything you could possibly need was in there.Beautiful surroundings to come home to after site seeing.Sitting out on the back deck and taking everything in added 10 years to my life.Thanks Ian
Just a few things though: plug plate in laundry room unsecured to wall, waterproof shelves and seat in shower for toiletries, instructions for TV, garbage disposal, and oven. Kitchen was well equipped except for lack of dishwasher. Rusty pot lights in covered porch should be replaced with non-rusted type to increase 'saleability' of the home. No curtains on single bed room was a bit disconcerting especially when sharing the house with friends.
We enjoyed the daily local clam-diggers and seal sightings.
This property was so much more than I expected. The view was fantastic and the back patio was so peaceful to sit out and watch the water or the "clammers" looking for clams on the mudflats, depending where the tide was. The house was spotless with a great kitchen. Loved the property. Would definitely recommend.
The vacation home is beautiful, very artistically decorated, comfortable, the view is particularly awesome. We stayed five nights as it was the minimum nights required. However the location is remote, so it is not a suitable base if you plan to visit many places. It is perfect if you just want to relax in front of ocean, have some quality family time etc.
The main drawback which affected our otherwise perfect holiday was the lack of dishwasher - doing dishes by hand while on holiday was not part of the plan! Maybe it was our own fault that we didn't read the details, usually assume that vacation homes will have dishwasher!
In addition, we are still waiting to have our damage deposit returned but the owner no longer reply our e mail.......
We stayed 5 nights exploring the area and doing day trips. We easily drove to Lunnenburg and Mahone Bay. We also went whale watching from Brier Island. The house is super nice. High ceilings, wood floors, lovely rugs and furniture. The huge glass windows and doors all across the back of the house look out over the Annapolis Basin. It's amazing to watch the huge tides come and go. You can walk down to the water but the lowest path was washed out and only the guys went down. This house has 2 bathrooms with sink and toilet. One has a bidet. The shower is in a seperate tiled room with skylight. It was nice and worked out well for us. The master has a queen bed and doesn't have drapes which makes it great to watch the moon over the water but very bright in the mornings.
We had a problem finding the house. The number was not visible. The house is about 20 minutes from a store down a 2 lane road, they don't sell alcohol on Sundays and close earlier than in the US. The house was supplied with everything we needed except food.
Teresa the housekeeper was very helpful.
We had a great time in this house and strongly recommend it.
I shared this pretty home with my sister while on vacation. The house is very pretty and had lots of room, the kitchen is adequately equipped for simple meals. The beds were clean and comfy. The European shower/bathroom layout allows for multiple people to get ready in the morning. This is a great home to relax and get away. Annapolis Royal seemed to be the closest town (about 15 min) for grocery items. We ate at Leos in Anspolis Royal and highly recommend their lunch menu. The ghost tour in town is very well done, not scary, mostly historical. We hiked Dulaps cove and it is beautiful. The only drawback to this home is the location. It is pretty far from everything. It is on a cove and it was rare to see a boat on the water as the tide was mostly out during our stay, we looked at a lot of mud, we saw no wildlife either. We had to travel a couple hours to see the tidal bore and ended up missing it. It was also an hour and a half to 2 hours to balanced rock and Brier Island, Lunenberg and Halifax. So it depends on what a person's interests are for location. For just relaxing and casual sightseeing, this is perfect.
Annapolis Royal is an amazing historic, happy, safe town, featured in MacLean's magazine as the first in 'One of the ten places you have to see'. It features a public market on Saturdays, great restaurants, shops, one of the earliest forts in Canada and a public Historical Garden. Nearby is a fish market in Parker's Cove, where you can get world famous scallops and lobster cooked for you! About 30 miles away is Digby where you can go whale watching.
