After leaving Digby, NS, driving 40 minutes, surviving the sharp turns, and taking two ferries you will discover Brier Island. This island is small, but packed with great hiking and rock jumping. Not many tourists or Nova Soctians make their way out to the island, and that's a shame because it is worth the trip.

"Overlook ferrying or woods. Dirt road hike to lighthouse to watch whales go by. Hike to only corner store or whale watching tours. No pool or swim facilities. Not busy end of Oct. 2 couples given very small balconies. King Rooms have basics, table, mini fridge. Very pricey. Outside access. "

"Nice spot to stay"

"Compact, many small amenities that make a great stay even better. Everything is clean and high quality. Bryan was attentive and made sure we were settled and comfortable. We had the best stay, we can't wait to come back. The stairs to the upstairs bedroom are steep and could be challenging for arthritic knees. The handrails are helpful and everything about the place speaks to safety and comfort. The sun room is a place you never want to leave. Its gorgeous and relaxing, exactly what we needed....

"Stunning views & lovely kayaking."

"The property was considerably nicer than we expected. We’ll be back!!"

"We were all amazed not only by the gorgeous and ever-changing view, but also by how much there is to do nearby! The house was very comfortable and well-stocked...we had a great time!"

"This property is unbelievable for it's location, charm, comfort, and owner. I have stayed at many VRBO properties and this is, hands down, the best one I have stayed at. With a lighthouse and beach within walking distance, and overlooking a working harbor across the street, it is absolutely the ideal for experiencing the best of this area of Nova Scotia. The owner has amazing communication and provided an exemplary and low-stress experience. "

"Property is a welcomed getaway with plenty of privacy. Cottage was immaculate and amenities were plentiful. Host provided access to kayak and dingy along with board games and outdoor propane fire pit. We will definitely return."

INCREDIBLE ocean cliff views at your doorstep on very private acreage + parking.

5/5 Excellent

Stunning home with fabulous views!!

"OMG this home was such a stunner! We arrived after dark because of the ferry ride, but when we arrived, the house had subdued lighting, relaxing music and some essential oils going. We both walked in and said "Wow, Oh my god"! And it was still dark, so we couldn't see the view, but we could hear it. The master was so comfortable and there was far more amenities and supplies than we used, but it is definitely my favorite VRBO I have stayed in. Owners really, really go that extra mile and did lots of thoughtful little things to make our stay amazing. Absolutely fantastic stay! All the stars!!!"
