About this house rental
Custom built, architect-designed, open concept house and separate country-style cottage, Swallow Point Retreat sits high among trees, overlooking the ocean on three sides and has its own private beach and dock.
This property is available for vacation rental as house with cottage.
The house features soaring ceilings and walls of glass windows that let in lots of natural light and make the most of its woodland and waterside setting. This unique architecture gives a unique two storey floorplan for living and sleeping.

This room also features two loft sleeping areas suitable for older children, one on each side of the room, accessed by ladders and with railings on the sides.

The Master Bedroom suite is upstairs. Occupying all of the second level it is open to sound from the living rooms below but the Queen size bed and separate home office area cannot be seen. There is also a washroom with shower as well as laundry.

Our stay was fantastic. The guest house was an added bonus for our family. The views were beautiful and it was a lovely spot to spend time with our family. Only draw back was the primary bed was old so our sleeps were not stellar.

PLUSES:
• Dramatic home high on a hill on the end of a peninsula with water on three sides visible through three sets of two-story tall walls of glass and from open deck.
• Magnificent panoramic view on open deck of Chester Basin (no waves).
• Tiny private beach & dock
• Close to Chester & Mahone Bay and their basic supermarkets
• Lunenburg an easy drive
• Responsive agent manages property
• Cute small 2 bedroom bunkie with kitchen, 2 BR, 1 bathroom included
• Private location, ultra quiet, fun to listen to the loons
• Nice screened / glass porch
• House won 1991 Nova Scotia design award
• Good whole-house water filtration system—well water tastes and smells fine
• All Nova Scotians are always so nice!
• The minuses did not overpower the pluses (for us)
MINUSES:
• There are no real bedrooms: the Master BR is an open private loft on upper level with bathroom
• There are two small loft beds accessed by steep ladders on either side of one (of two) living rooms. Murphy Bed is in the dining room
• One bathroom on the 1st floor
• ALL rooms on BOTH levels are separated by a few steps up and down which may be fall hazards to seniors or toddlers – ie steps up to master bed and from DR to kitchen
• The stairway to the small beach is about six flights down (and up) stairway
• Cleaning crew does not do an adequate job on the kitchen; agent said he would address that; there were dirty pots and appliances; dishwasher is long-in-the-tooth / marginal
• TV but not live streaming

The main house was stunning and the view of the basin was amazing. The windows and decks gave an upscale tree house feeling. We may have seen seals! The cabin was quaint and beautifully decorated. Both homes were clean. We had everything we needed, even to make a fire on a chilly night. The stairs to the dock and beach were steep but there were benches in several spots on the way to rest. The path along the waterline was scenic. The location was secluded and quiet. There were plenty of nearby restaurants. We would definitely return and recommend this gorgeous home.
