Secluded Oceanfrot cottage:Unbelievable oceanfront views-Screened in Gazebo
The Whale of a View Cottage is nestled in the woods sitting directly above the Passamaquoddy Bay. Located on Campobello Island, home of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Summer home and International Park, the cottage offers spectacular and close-up views of whales, eagles, seals, porpoises, ospreys and other wildlife from the house or the beautiful screened in Gazebo atop a cliff overlooking the water. Enjoy sunbathing and the beautiful sunsets on the deck attached to the Gazebo. Watch sailboats, fishing and cargo ships pass right outside your window. The cottage, the gazebo and the setting make this a special and private retreat. The cottage is within walking distance of the most photographed lighthouse in New Brunswick and connected by bridge to the US mainland at Lubec, Maine. Head Harbor Wharf is within walking distance for Whale Watch and fishing trips as well as to watch the local fisherman at work. This cute house is fully furnished as a vacation home.

We then purchased the Whale of a View, Periwinkle Cottage in 2004 and the Starfish cottage in 2015. This is our 36the season on amazing Campobello Island! We get to enjoy our two children and their spouses with our 8 grandchildren now every summer! We have shared our properties since 1989 to travelors from across the world!
