Fox Point Hubbards Cottage by the Bay
Great, cozy, comfortable, light-filled cottage for two on St Margarets Bay, with view of water from large deck. Close to beaches, South Shore, Peggy's Cove and Halifax area. The village of Hubbards has grocery, cafes, pharmacy, NSLC, bike trails and great Farmers Market.

Comfortable Cottage in a Great Location
We spent 4 nights in this small but clean and well maintained cottage on the Nova Scotia South Shore near Hubbards. Nice water view. Good bathroom with tub/shower combo. Lots of hot water. A few minutes drive from shops and restaurants in Hubbards including a grocery store. Good deck to barbecue or sit with a drink. This unit is best suited for up to two people. Owners Glen, Ruby and Clayton are fully engaged and available. Cottage shares a parking area with the owners’ recreational equipment business but it isn’t busy or disruptive. A fun place for a few days in Nova Scotia.

Nova Scotia Getaway
Came for a week to revisit Halifax and area, but stay in a quiet area. It was great, caught Fleet Week, saw Peggy's cove, Lunenberg, all the stuff in Halifax, narrowly missed the incoming storm....Good Luck folks. Spent a lot of time talking with Nova Scotians who are great people, always had the feeling they'd give you the shirt off their backs.

Step up
Overall a decent place to stay but not my favorite. The hosts Glen and Ruby were really nice. No live tv (only Netflix and such available) was a bit disconcerting. The steps up to the cottage could prove to be troublesome to some people. As my husband and I are in our 70’s, we did get our exercise. The bed and the bathroom were excellent.
Wonderful cottage. Hosts were wonderful. Will check availability on our vacation next summer.

A wonderful base for exploring
Our first trip to Nova Scotia -- this was a great home base for exploring the sea-bound coast. Easy drive to Halifax and covenient to lighthouses and other sights. It is a lovely and comfortable cottage. Bring your own spices and soaps/body-cleaning products.

Hubbards Nova Scotia - Nice Cottage
We met the property owner upon arrival. They explained everything about the cottage and the area. Glen, Ruby and Clayton were very helpful to give advice on things to do in the area, along with the tips on great beaches. The water was cold but the best beach was Bayswater. The entire week we had pretty good weather other than one day a bit chilly. The cottage is suitable for a couple. We were on the road during the day and enjoyed the nice deck for relaxing in the evening. Thanks!

We enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It was very well situated for day trips. There were several good restaurants very nearby. The property is exactly as described. It is small but they have made excellent use of the space. The owners are very friendly and would be helpful if you needed it. We hope to return in a couple of years.

An excellent seaside stay
My wife and I had a very enjoyable and relaxing visit at Fox Point in Hubbards. The hosts were amazing and incredibly polite and accommodating. They treated us like family (if your family likes each other). The cottage was very clean and comfortable and we loved the great views and fortunately the weather was mostly nice as well. We rented some bikes and explored some of the local trails, which I highly recommend. They have a beautiful trail with amazing views!

Delightful. … but too short
Glen and Ruby were delightful and accommodating hosts. The weather wasn’t wonderful, and the mosquitoes were a wee bit challenging but the cottage was cozy, tastefully renoed and appointed and had most everything we needed … even for entertaining a couple of friends for dinner one night.
Delightful spot!
Thanks Glen and Ruby (and Clayton)

Hubbards is a Lovely Area
The owners and family are lovely people who also own the business on the same property. The cottage had all the amenities needed in the kitchen and the bed was very comfortable. There was a problem however with the T.V. and being able to receive only 1 channel and therefore having to watch Netflix etc using their profiles. It also would have been nice if they had informed us that construction on their waterfront would be going on most of the week waking us up one morning at 6:15 and also going on until 9 at night. We were gone most days as the surrounding areas are lovely with lots of places to visit. Hubbard's is definitely a great location.
