About this property

Secluded Oceanfront Retreat with Guest House

There’s nothing like a stunning view to make a home feel truly magical and with more than 800 feet of direct ocean frontage this property is outstanding in every way.
Drive down the sweeping private road and be transported to a world of luxury and relaxation.
Located on a five-acre estate-like property, Ovens Reef House offers privacy yet is only minutes from spectacular sand beaches and the towns of Lunenburg and Mahone Bay.

The Main House

This house is a 2,500 sq. ft. cape on the outside and Malibu beach house on the inside. It’s
stylish and luxurious with custom-made furniture and all the the amenities one expects from a
quality vacation rental. Its open-plan and wall of windows on the ocean side has been designed to let the outdoors in and take advantage of the breathtaking views out to the open ocean.
The show-stopping gourmet kitchen is every foodie’s dream. Polished concrete floors and
counters plus seating for four at the breakfast bar anchor the space. There is a six-burner Wolf gas cooktop, two wall ovens which offer convection cooking, a microwave, stand-alone fridge and freezer and, of course, a dishwasher. A large walk-in pantry contains cookware, dishes, and a variety of small appliances. Guests who like to keep it simple will find a propane barbeque on the patio.
The main level features a stylish Italian glass dining table with seating for eight. As well, there is plenty of comfortable seating in the study and living areas - all with ocean views. A
wood-burning fireplace, a 50-inch flat screen television with surround sound and well-stocked
bookshelves add to our guests’ enjoyment.
Rounding off the main level are a two-piece powder room and a mud room featuring a full-size washer and dryer.
Upstairs there are two large bedrooms. The master features a king bed, a wall of custom built-in storage units and spectacular ocean views from its elevated position. The freshly painted second bedroom has a queen bed offers plenty of storage too. All beds come with comfy mattresses and pillows, as well as quality cotton sheets to ensure a restful night’s sleep.
The two bedrooms share a spa bathroom with polished concrete floors and counter. There’s a
deep soaker tub offering panoramic views out to the open Atlantic as well as a large walk-in
rain-head shower.
Outside, the large deck is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the everchanging ocean. The teak
table seats six and is perfect for alfresco dining.

The Cottage

Next to the main house is the cottage. Loaded with charm, it more closely resembles a typical
Nova Scotia beach cottage. But, with some big differences.
This pristine little gem shares the same spectacular views as the larger home and has been
finished with the same care and attention to detail.
The main level is open-plan with a small but functional kitchenette. Not fancy, it’s perfect for
preparing morning coffee, light meals and snacks.
The living area has a double pull-out sofa bed and seating for two more. As in the main house, large windows bring the ocean views in. Completing the main floor, there’s a large bathroom
with a custom travertine marble shower.
Up the stairs, a large bedroom with a king bed and gigantic reading chair offers the perfect
escape. Writers and dreamers will love the huge desk facing out to sea.
Decks along two sides of the house are perfect for lounging and enjoying the fresh ocean air.

Quiet, relaxing location and nice property
We really enjoyed our stay. The view was really gorgeous. Very peaceful. The house was very spacious and nice. Kitchen was great. The main house has AC but it did struggle a bit getting cool on the second floor… not a major issue. The smaller house doesn’t have AC and is also very nice. The bathrooms were nice, could use a deep clean but they were still totally fine. The yard was nice but needed some landscaping work. Caused for quite a few mosquitos so bring bug spray. You can’t get to the water from the property. It’s very steep… so don’t expect that. Some cool wildlife walking around. Deer. Squirrels. Chipmunks. Birds. No whales or sea life during our stay. The rental agency was great. Very responsive. Super friendly. Make sure you read the book when you arrive, explains stuff you need to know. The driveway in is a bit steep and the rocks had washed away so our vehicle slipped a bit getting in and out but it was not an issue. Also, the limited trash/recycling requirements are something to be aware of. Internet and Tv were great. We didn’t expect it to be as good as it was this remote of a location. All in all… it was nice. Not much to do unless you drive other places but if you are looking to relax and detach…read a few books. Take a few naps. Make a few nice meals. it’s a great place to do it. Need to fix the driveway and needed a deep clean. Lots of bugs and mosquitos

Summer Stay
We stayed a week at the property and had a great time. The location was private and a short distance to the Ovens. The additional carriage house provided flexibility for our family and the wifi worked great.

Lots of space with fabulous view
Large spacious living area and gourmet kitchen was a dream come true. Having guest house allowed for family privacy. We grilled almost every meal. We love this area of the South Shore!
