Explore the bedrooms and shared spaces before you book. Each room includes its actual sleeping setup.
Bedroom 1
Primary bedroom - 1 king bedThe king room is the showpiece: custom windows, handmade wood detail, harbour views, and a quiet place to wake up before the rest of the house comes alive.
Bedroom 2
Upstairs queen bedroomA proper upstairs queen room for guests who want a quiet, comfortable bedroom close to the primary suite and main living spaces.
Bedroom 3
Upstairs flexible room - 1 bunk bed + 1 sofa bedThis is the flexible upstairs sleep room for the larger group setup. The sleep map is the important part here: one bunk bed and one sofa bed, close to the main upstairs bedrooms.
Bedroom 4
Lower-level queen bedroomOne of the lower-level queen bedrooms, giving couples, grandparents, friends, or team members more separation from the busier main floor.
Bedroom 5
Second lower-level queen bedroomAnother real bedroom on the lower level, so the full group can stay together without everyone feeling packed into the same few rooms.
Living Room 1
Main living room + sofa bedThe main hangout for slow mornings, shared meals, movie nights, and one more flexible sleeping option when the whole group is here.
Living Room 2
Lower living room + sofa bedA second lounge gives bigger groups breathing room, plus another sofa bed when the whole crew is staying together.

Good to know
A few details before you book
Bring the songs, ideas, or retreat plan.
The on-site garage studio can be arranged separately for musicians, songwriters, producers, and creative groups. It can be a unique bonus for musical retreats, with expectations set clearly around timing, sound, and neighbours.

Bike rentals are available upon request, including hybrid, road, e-bike, kids bike, trailer, and tag-along options. Visit freewheeling.ca and enter Coastal Oasis in the order comments for a 10% discount on rentals.
Visit freewheeling.ca →How far is the house from downtown Halifax?
Most downtown destinations are about 10 to 15 minutes away by car, depending on traffic.
Where does everyone sleep?
There are five bedrooms: one king room, three queen rooms, and one flexible room with a queen-over-queen bunk and two sofa beds. Each living room also has a sofa bed.
Is a car recommended?
Yes. The natural setting is part of the appeal, and a car makes groceries, beaches, and city visits much easier. Free parking is available on site.
Can we host a party?
No. Purcells Cove is a quiet residential neighbourhood, and parties or loud music are not permitted.
Can we book for 28 nights or longer?
Yes. Longer stays require a fixed-term lease, and we will guide you through that before confirming the booking.
