About this property

4 Bed (Sleeps 8) persons Vacation Rental with cottage, private dock and beach.

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.

Also on the main floor are the kitchen with breakfast bar, dining room with wrap-around deck and full bathroom. There is a pull-down Murphy Bed in the dining room, which can be closed off for privacy.

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.

Another great week at Swallow Point
Another perfect week behind us from staying at this unique and private property in Chester Basin. Close enough to the amenities of Chester and an easy drive to Mahone Bay, this property offers a tranquil escape from the every day. This is our second year staying at Swallow Point, and we were just as thrilled as before with the property, the main house and the separate cottage. Swimming off the dock was a real joy, the kids were exhausted by 9pm, the sunsets overlooking the water were spectacular, and everyone slept soundly. What more could you ask for in Nova Scotia?

Truly special
What a unique and memorable stay we had at this breathtakingly beautiful property! The house won a well-deserved architectural award in the 1990s-the property is amazing with views from every window. I walked the gorgeous path along the point every day-very peaceful and just exactly what my friend and I hoped for and more. The house is very well-equipped for everything you need for your stay. The location was private yet only a short drive into Chester and Mahone Bay if you care to drag yourself away from those views! Paul was very prompt at getting back to us for little things we needed. The little cottage was an extra treat and also very well-equipped - can't say enough positive things about this beautiful property!
