Wow! What a perfect vacation! Thank you Valerie and Matthew! Location is awesome with lots to explore nearby. Views out of the cottage are beautiful with breathtaking sunrises. Cottage was sparking clean and so cozy with literally no detail spared. From Valerie’s stunning homemade quilts to the local pottery in the kitchen cabinets and beautiful artwork on display - this cottage eats, sleeps and breathes St. Martin’s, NB. We made wonderful memories and would love to come back and stay again!

Our stay at the Shipyard Cottage on the Bay of Fundy was absolutely wonderful. Everything about the cottage was excellent, from the beautiful accommodations and breathtaking views to the amazing overall location. The cottage was comfortable, inviting, and had everything we could have hoped for. The highlight was undoubtedly watching the incredible tides of the Bay of Fundy roll in and out—it was truly stunning and something we will never forget. The peaceful setting, spectacular scenery, and unique experience made our stay exceptional, and we would happily return again.

Serenity by the sea

This is a wonderful place to stay for a week, quiet and peaceful with beautiful sea views. The owners are incredibly responsive to renters' concerns and the house is spotless. There are lots of places to visit in the St Martins area for hiking or more gentle walking. Highly recommended!

Great property and great cottage

Cottage was everything described, very clean, all the amenities and if needed the host were easy to get a hold of. My son and us went out to the beach almost every day at low tide, only 45 min to St John, St. Martin a couple minutes away, couldn't of asked for a better spot. First time through VRBO, will definitely do it again, very pleasant experience

Amazing family stay!

My family had a great vacation at this cottage and surrounding area. The location was perfect - peaceful, private, but still close to so many attractions and restaurants. Being so close to the Bay of Fundy, and experiencing the tides every day was very special. We even saw a seal one day while kayaking right from the cottage! The cottage itself had everything we needed and Valerie was a great host, always responding promptly. Thank you for everything!

Fun in Fundy Bay

Perfect jumping off spot for exploring all that the Fundy Bay has to offer. Fabulous waterfront with a flowerpot formation just a short walk from Shipyard Cottage . Beach is perfect for a picnic. The house is private and full of personal touches by the host. Very special in so many ways. St. Martins has all kinds of interesting places to explore.

Fabulous views of the tide coming in and out. Very clean and cozy. This home has everything you would need. The owners thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and memorable. Baby deer walking through the yard daily and even a bald eagle came and landed on the trees a few days. The topper is the gorgeous sunrise over the water and in the evening watching the fog come in of you’re lucky. A fantastic place. Will be back.
