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.

Located on a five-acre estate-like property, Ocean 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 two Weber gas grills on the patio and a new Coleman barbecue on the deck.

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.

Privacy and Beautiful Views

This is a beautiful home to vacation in. It’s located on a lovely large piece of property and is very private.The ocean view is spectacular and the house and guest cabin are beautifully decorated and furnished. The kitchen is indeed fully equipped! A wonderful spot to welcome friends and family for a visit. Owner and agent were very helpful and responsive to queries. We have rented on the south shore for over 20 years, and this place is definitely one we would recommend.

A Peaceful and Beautiful Property

This was our first Maritime vacation, but because of our wonderful experience, and this beautiful rental home, it will not be our last! This property has the seclusion and peaceful qualities of a cottage with all of the luxuries of an upscale modern home. The houses were tastefully appointed, and the living areas comfortable and attractive. The rooms are bright and cheery, and the view is stunning. It took us a few days to get used to the lack of window coverings in the bedrooms and bathroom in particular, but eventually the seclusion of the property enabled us city-dwellers to become more relaxed. The wifi was not fantastic, but it was manageable for the most part. The kitchen is set up for a chef, and if you are at all the culinary type, you should find just about everything you would need to make a meal worthy of Master Chef! The additional guest house was a fun little retreat for our young adult children to hang out and watch movies. My daughter loved staying in the privacy of her own vacation house. There is so much to do in Nova Scotia, but be prepared to drive if you want to see anything. There was a lot of distance covered when we wanted to see the area, but it was worth the drive every time we went out on an adventure. We would go back to Nova Scotia on vacation in a heartbeat, and back to this lovely home if we have the opportunity in the future. Thank you for a lovely time. We hope to visit your home at Ovens Reef again one day!

Fantastic rental.

Fantastic rental. Well-appointed rooms, with Asian flair. Can’t say enough about the views! Having a second house for the kids a bonus. Kitchen excellent. (Steep cliff might a concern for parents of a nervous disposition with very young children). Plenty of wildlife. Saw porpoise, seal, deer, fox, many birds etc. Bring binoculars. Lots of things to do: Gaff Point hike, Ovens sea kayak, blue stones sea kayak, cycling, Hirtles beach, Lunenberg etc. Only negative was two pieces missing from the world map puzzle ☺

Spectacular View

The home is in a area called The Oven's. It has a spectacular view and it is a large property. The Oven's is a large park with spectacular sea caves you can hike to. The home is beautiful and modern, with a great kitchen for entertaining. We loved staying there!
