Oceanfront Land Yacht with Private Indoor Pool.

Transportive. Inspiring. Uplifting.

Welcome aboard Nova Scotia's only VRBO property with a private indoor swimming pool!

The Land Yacht is a unique 6,000 sq.', 5 stateroom, double-octagon structure located on 700' of Atlantic ocean shoreline.

Abundant social and private spaces make The Land Yacht the ideal choice for friends and family getaways, retreats and special occasions.
Just a 20 minute drive to Halifax.

Here are a few highlights:

Hardwood floors throughout, open saloon/dining area with soaring tongue and groove ceilings and a two-story stone fireplace. The living area is open to the gourmet kitchen with African granite counters, unique dining island with a Lazy Susan, Jenn-Air cooktop, double built-in wall ovens, wine fridge, margarita maker, bread maker, food service heat lamps, outdoor lobster pot, BBQ, and everything else you'll need to wow your crew.

At the bow of the Land Yacht, you'll find the wrap-around solarium. It's the perfect place to paint, socialize, read, spot marine life, our resident Woodchucks, birds, planets and stars. (Binoculars, telescope and easel are located here.)

Where the huge solarium ends, the Promenade deck begins: Here you will find a luxurious outdoor seating area. (Due to its orientation, it's perfect for both sunrises and sunsets.)

Moving aft through the Land Yacht, you'll arrive in the Hall of History. Here you will find historical photos from 100 years ago, in the age when the Land Yacht was the location of a prosperous sawmill and port, shipping wood products all around the world.

Moving further aft, you will arrive at the spectacular private indoor saltwater pool. It's heated to 31C/87F year-round, making "Heath's Cove" very popular for those winter escapes from the city.

Note: In conjunction with East Coast SCUBA, we offer the Learn to SCUBA program in the pool, year-round. (Ages 10 and up.) It's a great way to discover a whole new world beneath the waves. After the in-pool training, you'll have the opportunity to dive from our cove! (Weather permitting, of course.)
Let us know if you're interested when you make your booking.

Moving forward towards midship on the main deck, you'll find the Captain's and First Mate's staterooms. Both staterooms feature ensuites, King size beds and offer spectacular views of the ocean. (The Captain's stateroom has direct access to the Promenade deck.)

A powder room is located on the main deck, as well as a full bath located in the pool room.

On the walk-out lower deck level there are three staterooms:

- The Porthole stateroom has a King bed, limited views and is perfect for late sleepers.
- The Officer's stateroom has breathtaking panoramic views of the ocean and is equipped with two Queen beds.
- The Stowaway's stateroom is a family suite that sleeps four to six. (Two convertible Kings plus a kids loft that sleeps two.) This stateroom also has a patio with teak chairs to enjoy your morning coffee, or catch some rays on the chaise lounges.

Note: Guests staying in the Stowaway's stateroom must pass through the Officer's stateroom.

Note: Although our listing states a maximum of 14 guests, the kids loft sleeps two, and is not included in the total. The loft is perfect for ages 10 and under, so if you have 16 crew members in your group, let us know and we'll accommodate.

A coffee service is located between these two rooms. (Keurig + mini fridge.)

These three staterooms share a huge bathroom.

Artwork throughout the Land Yacht provided by Canadian artists Dale and Candace Heath.

Moving outdoors, you'll find two fire pits to choose from. (One is located at sea level, the other at about 30' above sea level.) Campfire chairs and wood provided.

Three 2-person kayaks are for your exclusive use.
Note: Launching/beaching in our cove is sporty! (Bring water shoes and monitor the tides.)
Waiver must be signed prior to use.

Outdoor games include bocce ball, ladder toss and badminton.

Last but not least, you will find a hammock for solitude nestled in the trees a few feet from the Atlantic ocean.

Pet stays are allowed on a pet-by-pet basis. Prior permission is required.

Important note: We NEVER accept wire transfers. For our mutual protection, if you ever receive a phishing scam with someone pretending to be "us" asking for a wire transfer, do NOT wire funds! Contact us immediately through the official VRBO/Home Away website.

Check-out time is 10:00 AM and check-in time is 4:00 PM.

Breathtaking
Myself, my husband and our 4 children stayed at this beautiful house for our March Break. The house is gorgeous, it has everything you need to entertain all ages. It is fully loaded and the hosts were always available if we needed anything at all. We are extremely happy with our experience and the kids cried leaving the house (the pool was a huge hit!!!) We will absolutely book again!

The Land Yacht is fabulous for our group of 13. The view is second to none. So bright and spacious.
This was our second stay. Overall pleased with how well stocked the house is. The owners have thought of pretty much everything. (Couldn’t find a wire whisk) lol. The only down side is the water pressure. I don’t remember it being quite as low last year but for a long weekend the positives far out weigh the negative. One of our favourite places to have our winter getaway. Thank you once again for being so accommodating.

Perfect for our large gathering
We enjoyed our stay at the Land Yacht. There was plenty of room for our large group. The house was well stocked with every kitchen item you might need, games, towels, you name it. We enjoyed the pool, and especially the fireplace. It was a perfect place to be storm stayed.

Such a wonderful, beautiful and spacious home. We were three families and loved the time together making pasta and playing games and of course swimming in the pool. Would highly recommend.
