About this property

Oceanfront Retreat w/ Nordic Sauna & Private Beach Experience

Immerse yourself in a private Nordic spa ritual. Savor the ocean views from the warmth of the sauna, step down to a secluded beach for an invigorating cold plunge, and complete the cycle beside the glowing outdoor fire pit.

Wake up to oceanfront views and explore over 400 feet of private shoreline with two unique beaches: one with soft sand exposed at low tide—ideal for lounging—and another pebble beach with stone stairs for easy access to swim, whether the tide is in or out.

Located just 16 minutes from Sheet Harbour, you’ll find everything you need nearby, including a grocery store, local brewery, restaurants, liquor store, gas station, pharmacy, coffee shop, and more.

Newly built, thoughtfully designed modern cottage where every detail has been crafted for comfort, style, and a connection to nature. This stunning retreat features a full-height maple accent wall, polished concrete floors, and a custom-built bathroom vanity, offering a clean, contemporary feel throughout.

Step outside onto the expansive cedar decking that wraps around the front of the cottage, providing easy access from both the living area and the bedroom. Unwind beneath the custom hemlock pergola or enjoy your morning coffee surrounded by natural beauty and wildflower plantings across the property.

Spend your evenings around one of two fire pits—one nestled near the cottage with crushed granite and natural stone seating sourced right from the land, and another down by the beach, perfect for late-night stargazing. Firewood is provided for cozy campfires under the stars.

Inside, the living room and bedroom both offer stunning ocean views—wake up to the sight and sound of the sea without even leaving your bed. On rainy or cooler days, log into your favorite streaming apps on the Smart TV or settle in with a good book.

Whether you're here to explore, relax, or reconnect—this coastal paradise offers the perfect backdrop for your next getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Joline Dorey

Host profile image
Originally from a rural area of Nova Scotia, I spent almost half my life living in the big city of Toronto. I always felt a pull to return home, and when I came back in 2018, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to purchase this land. With a background in construction and a passion for residential building, I took on this project to create a unique oceanfront cottage experience for all to enjoy. I also saw it as a chance to reconnect with and hone my hosting skills, built during my early years working in the hospitality industry.

Why they chose this property

I chose this property for its expansive ocean frontage, private cove, and stunning water views, with the offshore islands offering natural protection from strong waves—creating a calm, welcoming area to enjoy ocean activities even on days when the sea is rough.

What makes this property unique

This property is truly unique, featuring a custom build that is only 594 square feet yet feels surprisingly expansive thanks to its high ceilings and open‑concept design. While the cottage sits along the main road for easy access, it’s thoughtfully positioned to provide privacy and a peaceful retreat. The generous water frontage offers endless opportunities for coastal exploring, from wandering the shoreline to enjoying calm ocean activities protected by the surrounding islands. And with the town of Sheet Harbour just minutes away—offering all essential shops, services, and local activities—you’ll have everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable cottage stay.
