Summary: PLUSES: • Dramatic home high on a hill on the end of a peninsula with water on three sides visible through three sets of two-story tall walls of glass and from open deck. • Magnificent panoramic view on open deck of Chester Basin (no waves). • Tiny private beach & dock • Close to Chester & Mahone Bay and their basic supermarkets • Lunenburg an easy drive • Responsive agent manages property • Cute small 2 bedroom bunkie with kitchen, 2 BR, 1 bathroom included • Private location, ultra quiet, fun to listen to the loons • Nice screened / glass porch • House won 1991 Nova Scotia design award • Good whole-house water filtration system—well water tastes and smells fine • All Nova Scotians are always so nice! • The minuses did not overpower the pluses (for us) MINUSES: • There are no real bedrooms: the Master BR is an open private loft on upper level with bathroom • There are two small loft beds accessed by steep ladders on either side of one (of two) living rooms. Murphy Bed is in the dining room • One bathroom on the 1st floor • ALL rooms on BOTH levels are separated by a few steps up and down which may be fall hazards to seniors or toddlers – ie steps up to master bed and from DR to kitchen • The stairway to the small beach is about six flights down (and up) stairway • Cleaning crew does not do an adequate job on the kitchen; agent said he would address that; there were dirty pots and appliances; dishwasher is long-in-the-tooth / marginal • TV but not live streaming

Summary: The main house was stunning and the view of the basin was amazing. The windows and decks gave an upscale tree house feeling. We may have seen seals! The cabin was quaint and beautifully decorated. Both homes were clean. We had everything we needed, even to make a fire on a chilly night. The stairs to the dock and beach were steep but there were benches in several spots on the way to rest. The path along the waterline was scenic. The location was secluded and quiet. There were plenty of nearby restaurants. We would definitely return and recommend this gorgeous home.

Summary: 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?

Summary: 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!

Summary: Enjoyed 10 days at this wonderful property. The main house is large and airy with enormous windows that provided breathtaking views of Chester Basin. The cottage is a delight and very cosy. Highly recommend this very private property.

Summary: In terms of a Nova Scotian holiday, the swimming beach, dock and views from the property cannot be beat. The home itself is impressive in its design and situation on the land, well cared for and has all the amenities needed for a family vacation, but still offers a relaxed, cottage vibe. On account of the location, the internet was slow and spotty at times, and on account of a 16-year old trying to fix it, became a bigger issue - but the Property Manager and owner were very kind to help us resolve it during our stay. We miss our week at Swallow Point road, and 100% hope to return to this slice of heaven someday.
