About this property

Beach Front Cottage, warmest waters north of the Carolinas

We currently have some available dates in June, only one week left in July, the second half of September, and all of October to accept new bookings. Our preference is to have guests book week-long stays starting at 3:pm on Sundays to the following Sunday 11am departure.

Roomy and comfortable, perfect for a family vacation! Golden sand beach out front*. Fabulous views of the Northumberland Strait, including Pictou Island, the PEI ferry crossing, and sometimes even PEI itself. Three bedrooms that comfortably sleep six. One full & one half bathroom. Large eat-in kitchen. Separate living/dining room with vaulted ceiling. Enclosed front porch and new front deck for morning coffee. Big back deck for afternoon/evening BBQ. 10 minute drive to Melmerby Beach (best public beach in Nova Scotia), 15 minute drive to New Glasgow. 30 minute drive to the PEI ferry located at Caribou NS. 2 hour drive to downtown Halifax. Choice of 3 local golf courses. Cross-fit gym available in New Glasgow as well as a yoga studio and the Pictou County Wellness Center. Great local roads for cycling, and trails for hiking/biking. Attractions include the Museum of Industry in New Glasgow, and the deCoste Performing Arts Center in Pictou. Day trips include the town of Antigonish - you can could also continue east to access Cape Breton, the Cabot Trail, and Fortress Louisburg, or you could instead drive north around beautiful Cape George (the "little Cabot Trail") parts of which can actually be seen toward the east from the front deck of the Cottage itself!

* Depending on the severity of winter storms which can take away the beach sand (as in 2024), or bring it back again - we are right next to the ocean after all...

For your peace of mind: VRBO is the only third party website we use to rent the Cottage. ANY OTHER LISTING of the Cottage (aside from authorized sister companies of VRBO) is not authorized, and could be fraudulent.

A True Nova Scotia Cottage Experience

Bill is an exceptional host. He is warm, responsive, and genuinely thoughtful. The cottage is an absolute gem: beautifully maintained, sparkling clean, and full of charm. The spacious deck and cozy sun porch offer breathtaking views of the ocean at any time of day and in any weather, making it the perfect place to relax and take it all in. Every detail has been carefully considered to ensure a comfortable and seamless stay, from the well-equipped kitchen to the inviting furnishings. What truly makes this place unforgettable is the sense of history and love woven into every corner. You can feel the generations of family memories that make the cottage feel not just like a rental, but a real home.

Another Great Stay

Our fourth year here and it does not disappoint! Beach is beautiful and and easy access to day trips to PEI or Cape Breton is the weather is not cooperating. Jacqueline had the place spotless for our arrival and JB the caretaker and his life partner Kate are true gems! Highly recommend this location!

Outstanding !

We really enjoyed our stay. The weather was hot & sunny every day so the kids were able to enjoy the ocean and sandy beach during the day, and have smores at the beach bonfire at night. The cottage is very clean with lots of room . The covered sun porch out front was amazing !

Host profile image
The Cottage was built by my grandparents in 1946. It was refurbished by my parents in 2001 with an addition, and has been conscientiously maintained since then. A family treasure, the Cottage is located on one of the most beautiful beaches in Nova Scotia. Unfortunately, hurricane Fiona took down many trees in September 2022, so the area is still recovering.from tree loss.

The Cottage bears Nova Scotia registration number STR2526B8865 valid to March 31, 2026. By local regulation, three percent of guests' base payments are remitted to Pictou County for tourism marketing and improvement annually. The fee is subject to HST.
