About this property

Malagash Oceanside Vacation Home

Enjoy a luxurious seaside vacation in this four-season house situated on a private seven-acre lot with panoramic views of the Northumberland Strait. Boasting the warmest waters north of the Carolinas, the private beach offers swimming with a rocky coastline for exploring and sea glass hunting. The property has 750' of ocean frontage to enjoy and both treed areas and open grass fields. Available 2 night minimum in May, June, September and October. 3 night minimum in July and August.

This property is centrally located on Nova Scotia’s north shore, just off Scenic route 6 (Sunrise Trail). The Sunrise Trail on the Northumberland Shore offers visitors beautiful beaches, seascapes, quaint villages and towns to explore as well as many shops, galleries, restaurants and golf courses to enjoy.

There is lots to do in and around our home. The Town of Tatamagouce is a 20 minute drive away. Full of character, Tatamagouche is a thriving seaside village that embraces quality of life along Nova Scotia’s Northumberland Shore. In addition to its proximity to several warm water beaches, Tatamagouche is a destination for those with great taste! As well as many craft stores and museums, the village of Tatamagouche offers full services to visitors. There is a hospital, dental office, pharmacy, grocery store, liquor store, gas station and bank. The Tatamagouche Creamery is home to a Saturday morning market as well as community festivals. In the other direction the Town of Pugwash is a 30 minute drive away. At first site there’s no question why the coastal community of Pugwash is world famous for peace. Its tranquil harbor close to beaches, pewter gift shops, seaside golf and vineyards make it the romantic destination it is today. There is a hospital, dental office, pharmacy, grocery store, liquor store, bank, Northumberland Links Golf Course and many craft and gift stores here including Seagull Pewter. Pugwash is also home to Windsor Salt which produces over one million tonnes of salt annually.

Local Attractions: With nearly 2 km of beautiful sand beach and the warm waters of the Northumberland Strait await you at Blue Sea Provincial Park. Just a few minutes down the road, the Blue Sea Provincial Park offers a beautiful wide, sandy beach and dune system on the Northumberland Strait. Park features include a change house and a small picnic area and short boardwalk to the beach. Birdwatching opportunities. Open seasonally from sunrise to sunset.

For the golf enthusiast, there are three golf courses within proximity. Northumberland Links Golf & Country Club in Pugwash, Fox Harb’r Golf and Resort in Wallace and Brule Point Golf Course in Brule. There are many more courses within less than a one-hour drive.

Located 10 minutes away, your vacation in Malagash would not be complete without a visit to Jost Vineyards. Daily you’ll enjoy wine tastings, vineyard tours, locally inspired gourmet fare at their Seagrape Café, and browsing a broad selection of wines and wine merchandise in the boutique. Relax by the cozy indoor/outdoor fireplace with a glass of wine and charcuterie board or enjoy a hike or bike into the vines.

Once again we had a fantastic stay at this property. The kitchen is well stocked. There is lots of room for everyone. Sitting on the deck in the morning with a coffee listening to the waves and sometimes the seals is a great way to unwind. Going out in the evening and star gazing, we saw stars that we haven't seen in years due to the fact that there wasn't any "city lights' flooding the skys. We will be back again in the spring. Thanks Carolyn for providing such a lovely spot for us to enjoy.

Great for a reunion

This is a lovely home with a well equipped kitchen, nice bedrooms, and a deck where you can sit for hours looking at the water, chatting, and listening to the breeze in the trees. Very close to the swimming/walking beach. The dining room and living room provide great venues for long conversations. We had a sibling reunion, and all three of us enjoyed the property.

Ladies Retreat

Once again we had a lovely stay at this beautiful home. We were a group of 6 ladies this time, most of us over 80. We played several card games, ate tons of food and laughed a lot. We all slept well in the comfortable beds. The kitchen is stocked with all the utensils you need to cook with. The large deck has great furniture. It was beautiful weather for June so we were able to have coffee on the deck every morning. We saw several deer including a newborn. Unfortunately, we did not get to see the mother bear and her cubs this year. If you are looking for a quiet place to stay for a family gathering, this place could be what you are looking for. Carolyn is great to deal with and is quick to respond to any questions. We plan to return this fall. It has become our home away from home.

Everything exceeded our expectations. From the cleanliness of the place, the stocking of the cupboards, the view, the animals that visited....we loved it all. We were truly able to reset and not have to worry about anything. It was so peaceful, nothing to hear except for the forest and ocean. This is what relaxing is all about. Will definitely stay again.

What a perfect choice for our week in the Maritimes! Our hosts were wonderful. Communication was excellent. We loved the history of the house/property, and the welcome info/items were much appreciated.The layout of the house was perfect for our extended family of seven, and everything we could want or need was provided.We did a lot of exploring - mostly local, but also the Bay of Fundy and even a day in PEI.The large deck outside was perfect for quiet mornings looking out over the water as well as for a big family gathering for a delicious seafood boil followed by a soccer baseball game on the lawn.Thank you again, Carolyn and Peter, for sharing your home.

Another great stay

From the moment we arrived until we left, our stay was fantastic. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare a full-course meal. We are a party of 6 women who try to spend a "long weekend" at this lovely home twice a year. Carolyn is very quick to respond to any questions or issues we have. The only thing to be aware of is -if you plan to spend time on your electronic devices, the cell service may be a bit weak. That was not a problem for us as we went there to enjoy each other's company. It is fun to see some of the wildlife that passes through and to listen to the birds in the mornings while enjoying a coffee on the deck. We are already looking forward to our next stay.

After the Hurricane Lee

When we drove up and saw the house it exceeding our expectations. We felt right at home and everything was clean and the beds were comfortable. After just coming from Hubbard where we home bound because the Hurricane Lee it was so nice to look at the window and the water was calm. The road into the house is rough and many pot holes, but it was worth the trip. Canada is taking recycle to another level, but its great when the house was supplied with garbage bin and label. We had a great time at a great house. Thank you!!

Private and peaceful

This place is a little piece of heaven. Very spacious but cozy all at the same time. The house is equipped with everything you would ever need. The property is in a lush, peaceful and private setting overlooking the ocean. Does it get any better than that? Our family group of 7 ladies had a wonderful time, enjoying the quiet surroundings, beach combing and watching the seals out our front window. Carolyn, the host, was wonderful to deal with. Very welcoming and accommodating. Thank you!

Great Place for family and friends to gather

Our group consisted of 8 women (family and friends)ages 49-90 who love to get together for a few days of good food, great laughs and lots of card playing. We couldn't ask for a better place. We loved watching the seals, deer and raccoon family. Some of us even got to see one of the bears. Carolyn is a fabulous host and there is everything you need to set up and feel at home. Thw kitchen is well stocked with everything from a lobster pot to a cork screw. This is our third time staying here and we plan to come back in the spring. Thank you Carolyn for sharing your beautiful home.

About the host

Hosted by Carolyn Goldring

Host profile image
I am the daughter of Peter and Val Mortenson who have owned the property since 1988. I got engaged on Blue Sea Beach. My parents now live close to me. As you can appreciate, this location isn’t the best for an older couple whom are no longer are able to drive. But they are very excited that new people can experience what they loved during the many years that they lived there.

Why they chose this property

A little bit of history. They originally saw the property when they were on their honeymoon in 1962. But as most newlyweds, they couldn’t even imagine at that time to purchase it. Fast forward 30 years later as they celebrated their anniversary and re-traced their honeymoon trip … surprise! It was for sale again. And this was the beginning of a beautiful journey. The property was originally a lobster cannery. The house that they lived in for almost 5 years was the bunk house for the lobster cannery workers. It has long since been torn down. The shop that still sits on the property was the cannery. My dad’s dream was to always to build his own home. And he did it with the help of many family and friends. Trust me … many of the nails and screws in this house I have put in!

What makes this property unique

So, embrace every moment you have here. Certainly, take time and go to the ocean, search for beach glass, watch for seals, tour the property and most important enjoy the solitude of this quiet special place whether it is with family or friends.
