About this house rental

Welcome to Marshwind!
Winter Monthly Rentals Available - message for more info.
Before booking spring/summer please send me a note via the messages.

A great place for a couple to spend a relaxing, quiet week on the coast.

Located in the historic fishing village of Prospect, perched on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean - where crashing waves, granite rocks and wildlife surround you.

Open the door and you are just a few feet from the ocean's edge. Enjoy ocean views from every window in the home.

Stay inside and watch the tide ebb & flow from a comfy chair or venture out for one of the many coastal-trail or in-land hikes. Don't forget your camera, you will see beauty in the amazing vistas & abundant wildlife. Marvel at how plants and trees cling to the exposed granite coast.
Interested in birds? You will be able to add many coastal and ocean bird species to your list. Birds often make a stop in our backyard during their migrations in the fall & spring. Winter brings an abundance of Northern ducks.

Bring your kayaks or rent from a local outfitter - launch them from the boat ramp in your back-yard and explore some of the best kayaking coastline in Eastern Canada - shipwrecks, deserted islands and lighthouses are just waiting for you to discover.

Marshwind is perfect for a couple looking to get away from it all and enjoy some peace at the seaside - while still being close enough to it all for day-trips to Nova Scotia's attractions.

In 2012 Marshwind, was used as a set location for the Hallmark movie 'Christmas with Holly'.

This property was so beautiful. The views were spectacular and the house was very warm and inviting. It was the perfect vacation home for my family. The hike just down the street was the cherry on top of our stay! Definately want to stay here again when we come back to Nova Scotia to visit family.

Our stay was lovely. We had elderly parents with disabilities. We managed but there were a lot of steps in the property. Meagan was very efficient with the opening and closing process. The home has wonderful kitchen with amazing views. It was very clean and a pleasure to stay there.

Lovely home in a quiet beautiful community located on an inlet. Fun to watch the tide changes impact on the marsh and the avian life. The home had everything we could ask for and could’ve comfortably slept many more than just the two of us. In the evenings we would make our way up to the 3rd floor to watch tv (30 steps total) and it was cozy too. Sitting on the back deck was a true pleasure and we had tea and coffee and breakfast out there while watching the ducks and cranes? Handy binoculars were provided for your viewing pleasure. Actually I don’t believe the hosts have forgotten any convenience… Even basics of staples were in the cupboards. Only complaint? There were no screens on any of the first floor windows and that prevented us from opening them for a fresh breeze on the main floor.
