About this property

Beach House Little Dipper Harbour Oceanfront Retreat

Delight in 1000 feet of your own private and pristine beach on the everchanging Bay of Fundy, neighbored by quaint fishing villages and home to many species of migratory birds. Watch great herons wade in the tidal pools awaiting their catch of the day see eagles soar overhead. Share the view with our local band of hummingbirds On most afternoons playful seals come into the bay at high tide and cavort right before your eyes. The water remains navigable by kayak or canoe for several hours. The beach is sandy and stretches the entire length of the cove. At high tide the ocean is just steps from your front door, easily accessible by foot, young and old alike. Walk the ocean floor at low tide and marvel at what the tide has brought in You can relax on the balcony and watch your children amuse themselves for hours on this extremely safe, protected beach. On a clear night during the summer months the Little Dipper constellation hangs directly above as do a myriad of stars, their visibility heightened by lack of ambient light from surrounding homes or commerce. It is magical beyond belief!!
The property is Less than half an hour from the bustling city of St. John, New Brunswick. Charming 2-storey beachfront cottage (built in 2006) on four spectacular acres, bordered by
fresh water creek and warm tidal pools. This unspoiled coastline will leave you in awe of nature's greatness! Perfect retreat for lovers, naturalists, poets, artists, and others.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Steinhaus

Host profile image
Born and raised in Connecticut, widowed with three wonderful adult children scattered about the globe, a life long love of animals with five Skye terriers and a cat at the moment. I would have more if I stayed in one place long enough. I own and run a bed and breakfast in Calais, Maine and winter in Florida's horse country. Ultimately I must thank my husband and father, both now gone, for their love and support, and my mother who would rather be on my balcony in Little Dipper than any place else in the world.

Why they chose this property

After more than two years searching for waterfront property in the U.S., I came to New Brunswick feeling the pull of my ancestral home in Canada. My mother was born in Kingston, Ontario. In the blink of an eye as if the universe had heard me and was prepared to answer, this property became available to me. The window of opportunity was open for just one short day midwinter 2007 and I seized that day and became the official stewardess of Little Dipper Harbour!!! This was a decision and a moment I will never regret.

What makes this property unique

The sea, the tides, the salt air, the view,.a nature preserve at your doorstep, the wildlife, seals in the harbour, not to mention 1000 feet of one's own private beach...all of this yet a short drive to Saint John with all the amenities of a large city and an hour from the U.S. border in Calais, Maine. Seven years and counting and I still pinch myself at my good fortune to have been in the right place at the right time!!
