Situated on the 200+ year property of the Shipbuilder’s Cottage & Summer Kitchen, this one-bedroom unit has a covered porch overlooking a spacious treed lawn, gazebo, hammocks and it's own outdoor BBQ and fire bowl. With the Bay of Fundy within view, the highest tides in the world can be heard caressing the shoreline and, when foggy, the Quaco Head lighthouse fog horn echoes it’s warning to fishing boats in the bay. Cozy, comfortable, peaceful and quiet, it's a perfect place to relax after a day exploring the beauty of the area.
Ideally situated, the cottage is located 5 km from the Village of St. Martins, the harbour, restaurants, cafe, art and gift shops, tourist information centre, museum and the Sea Caves. The Fundy Trail is 13 km from the cottage. Within walking distance of the cottage is The Quaco Head Lighthouse (1.3kms), and Brown's beach (1.9kms) - which is as quiet as it is scenic and a rock lover's dream. There is also a coastal trail that connects the two.
In consideration of the peace and serenity offered by its location, guests are asked to be considerate of the property owner and those in the other rental units by observing a quiet time from 10:00 pm-9:00 am.
The owner Nick and his fatherJoe, the property manager, reside on site and are happy to help if you have any questions regarding the property or about planning your adventures in the area. Although involved in continuing property maintenance, your privacy and an enjoyable vacation stay is our priority.

Great little cottage! Nice for a week’s vacation. Lots of room in the front yard for games and quiet rocky beaches only steps away. Perfect location for sight seeing, Sea Caves and Fundy trail.Love all the recycling/compost/waste bins. Thanks for a great week!

We stayed in one of the cabins for two nights. It was recently built and very clean and great to stay in. The kitchen had tea/coffee, olive oil/balsamic vinegar and spices. The was cabin thoughtfully organized including a dog sheet to protect the couch and dog towels for wet pups. Also, it had paper towels and very nice dish ware. Joe and Nick were extremely helpful and managed to maintain each cabin’s privacy. Don’t miss this hidden gem. Five out of Five.
Thank you Joel. Very happy to know you enjoyed your stay and were comfortable here! Joe
