Kingsport Cottage Vacation Rental House, Annapolis Valley NS

vacation home to rent

About our house

A vacation home to rent in Kingsport, Nova Scotia, overlooking the famous Minas Basin which is known for the world's highest tides. The village is small, quiet, and a 15 minute drive to the historic town of Wolfville, home of Acadia University.

The house is a minute's walk from Kingsport Beach. You can see the beach from the "Captain's window" in the upstairs hall, and from three of the bedrooms.

The tranquility of the house and the unique estuarine surroundings make it a wonderful retreat spot for artists, writers, yoga & meditation practitioners, ornithologists, scientists and nature enthusiasts.

The 1854 Cape Cod house was once the home of the builder and captain of the last wooden sailing vessel to work the Minas Basin. There are still remnants of his work in the house today.

We kindly ask that there be no smoking in the house.
