About this house rental
Sunny, airy, ocean-view living. Relax and restore in this spacious 150-year old captain's house on the edge of the Bay of Fundy. Large country kitchen, big backyard, ping-pong, wood stove for cool evenings. Casual, comfortable, family-friendly with toys + books, for easy summer living. Collect sea treasures on the beach as life slows down. You won't forget a week of salt air watching the highest tides in the world.
Famous for its stellar sunset, Margaretsville also offers dark nights for marvellous the star gazing. The ocean air is clean with a tinge of salt. Local delights include Ice Cream Sundays at the Community Hall across the street. The local Evergreen Theatre presents summer concerts of local, national and international musical artists. It's excellent entertainment in a delightfully small renovated church just a mile down the road. An evening spent with the local community listening to live music will be a lifelong memory.
The Captain's House was built in 1865 and maintains its old charm, blending elegance with a rough around the edges comfort that comes with age. The house has all modern amenities, linens, cooking tools, etc needed for comfort and is decorated in keeping with casual living for family friendly ease. There are no shops or quick coffee stops nearby - as this is a small coastal town - but all amenities are within a 15 minute drive: large grocery store, local farmers market, pharmacy, liquor store, crafts, and antiques. There is an auction house just along the road for finding true local treasures.
The tides are the highest in the world (!) and can be enjoyed both at a distance - watching the daily ebb and flow from the front yard - and by wading into the waters. All information regarding water safety is available locally and at the house. The Bay is very powerful and can be unpredictable. Caution must be taken.
Situated in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia, this area is a charm in the summer with many woods walks and swimming lakes within easy driving distance. Take a day hike up Cape Split, or check out the red sands at Blomidon Beach. Aylesford Lake is excellent for easy swimming and is very kid friendly. Go whale watching from Briar Island, or check out the historic town of Annapolis Royal full of local arts and crafts - and a dance festival! There are famous wineries - and breweries - with excellent restaurants in many towns within an afternoons drive.
Margaretsville is easy 90 minute drive from Halifax's Stanfield International Airport, where you can rent a car to get to Margaretsville.

We loved the kid friendliness of the place and Margarestville is a special place. So peaceful. The house is exactly as described with lots of places to explore. Everything is well maintained and the character of the old house is so charming. We fell in love with this house, my kids didn't want to leave!
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2025
We had a lovely time at this old Captain's house. It felt like staying at a grandparents' sea cottage. The location is excellent (right by the water, amazing sunsets) though not super walkable. It was a great base to explore the bay area, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the kids loved exploring all the nooks and crannies of the house.
We weren't looking for somewhere posh and we had a fab time, but if you want a modern, hotel-like stay, this isn't the place. It's a place with history and character. It did smell very musty (it is old after all!), a lot of the paint/wallpaper is peeling, and the shower wasn't great (as tall women, we had to hang a towel across the window for privacy). That said, we felt it was good value for the price, we loved our time there, and it was so peaceful and relaxing, which is exactly what we needed. Thank you, Sara!

We absolutely loved this beautiful, old, rustic house. It was cozy, comfortable and charming. Kid friendly, with board games, a ping-pong table, and a big yard with a tree-swing. A great place to unplug and detach. Sara was a great host and very responsive. We would happily stay there again.
