Private Island, Ocean Front, Aspotogan Peninsula, South Shore Nova Scotia

We loved the view, everything we needed was available and more. All our requests and concerns were answered immediately. All 🛌 were clean and comfortable.

Great host and great property! You cannot beat the ocean views!

Right on the ocean. Comfortable beds and plenty of areas to relax. Fully equipped kitchen.

AMAZING ocean view with incredible sunrises and so much entertainment watching the seals every day! The house was extremely comfortable and had a homey feeling, for our group of 4 adults!

We absolutely loved our stay at the red roof. It was immaculate and the view was breathtaking. Phil was very kind and helpful. Would highly recommend this home to anyone

This hidden gem was exactly what we needed to wind down from our long Nova Scotia vacation. The rest and relaxation at The Red Roof was just perfect. We were able to meditate on the rocks, fall asleep to the crashing of the ocean waves, and live inside the silence of nature. What a beautiful way to unwind. Phil was a wonderful host welcoming us into his slice of heaven. Sleep with the windows open, watch the seals from the porch and dream. What a gift. I'd recommend it for folks wanting to really truly unwind.

A perfect place to dump all of the noise and anxiety in your head and replace it with the sound of surf, the smell of salt in the air and a night sky filled with stars…haven’t seen the Milky Way that clearly in decades.

Superb position and very comfortable house. Lovely to just watch the changing sky and sea colours and the crystal clear night sky. Phil is a great host as well.

A beautiful spot, peaceful and relaxing, Wonderful hosts and lovely accommodation

Beautiful location, inside is bright and modern, beds are comfy, has A/C but breeze off ocean was more than enough to keep cool at night, being able to lay in bed and listen to the ocean is a nice change. There was lots of birds out in the water and both nights there was a seal no too far from shore.

The island is beautiful and exceeded our expectations. The house was clean and check in was easy. Phil was an excellent host.

Phil made us feel right at home in his oasis of a place on St. Margaret’s Bay. The beds & pillows and location of rooms overlooking the ocean with peaceful wave sounds at night provided the best sleep we have had in a long time. The view and sunrise were absolutely stunning & we wished we could have stayed longer. This was the tranquil getaway much needed. Sights, sounds, smells all worth staying here. We saw deer, cormorants diving, & heard lovely birds. It was so spacious and we plan to return with our kids. Thank you, Phil.

We had a wonderful time. You can’t beat the views!

We had a much needed relaxing and peaceful stay. Views from the house were awesome, especially the sunrises. Great remote location. Communication with the owners was enjoyable,

Bring your groceries and leave your worries behind. This out-of-the-way vacation cottage is a great place to settle in and watch the waves. We spotted seals, eagles and fishing boats gliding past. The road onto the island, with it's twists, turns and one-lane bridge, adds to the charm. The property provides a sense of isolation but neighbours are nearby if needed. The owner is super-friendly and was reachable throughout our stay. The cottage is well-equipped and quickly feels like home. The fireplace cannot be beat on a chilly fall evening and easily made up for the lack of a TV. Cell coverage was good for us throughout our stay. A couple of things to note in the description: There are two bathrooms but only the downstairs one has a shower. The laundry in the cottage is not for guest use, though laundry service is available. We would definitely come here again.

It doesn't get any closer to the eater than this! We loved spending time outside enjoying the view. It was very private and exactly what we hoped it would be.

This property has the most amazing view. Phil was delightful and kindly started the firepit for us each night. The house was super clean and as advertised. This place is really off the beaten path down a gravel private drive and over a wooden bridge. We had no problems traversing the driveway to get to the house. There is a grocery store, liqour store and restaurants within15 km. Great stay. The quiet locationwas so woth it. There are st

We had a very relaxing time. The property is very ideally located. A very comfortable house.

This is a beautiful house in a gorgeous location. My granddaughter and I loved the views of the cove and the bay, and the location is great for day trips to other areas of south-central Nova Scotia. We were delighted to have a visitor one morning while having breakfast: a seal appeared in the cove, directly in front of the house, and we watched it for nearly an hour. Along with the various sea birds, and the beautiful views all around, we simply loved the place. It is very comfortable, peaceful, and secluded. Phil is an excellent host, ready with recommendations for restaurants and helpful advice. Red Roof is an outstanding place for a getaway vacation in Nova Scotia.
