About this property
Oceanfront Cottage on a Quiet Cove Just Outside Lunenburg
Welcome to The Cottage on the Cove. This charming cottage has been completely renovated top to bottom in 2021. It is located right on the water on an in-shore inlet of the Atlantic ocean about 10 minutes from the town centre of Lunenburg. It has gorgeous water views from all of the main living areas. A new heat pump allows climate control (heat and air conditioning) for all weather conditions and guest preferences. The cottage can sleep six comfortably with two bedrooms (one queen, one double) and a queen-sized sofa bed in the living room. Linens are provided for all seasons and sleeping preferences (sheets, blankets, quilts & duvets). A full bath includes toilet, sink with vanity and tub/shower combo. Hair dryer & towels for the bath as well as beach towels for the shore are provided. The living room has ample seating with two sofas and two club chairs. An electric fireplace provides a nice ambiance for the occasional rainy evening. The entertainment system permits watching of DVDs (200+ provided for use) and listening to music. Bell FibreOp high-speed internet service including wifi is now available at the cottage for guest use. The indoor dining table (seats six) overlooks the water. The chef’s kitchen is well equipped for cooking and baking to your heart’s content. Full size refrigerator, electric range, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, electric kettle, pots, pans, cooking utensils, dishes, flatware, glassware, wine glasses, baking pans and even a large lobster/mussel/clam pot are all provided. A full-size washer & dryer are also located in the kitchen. A clothes drying rack for outdoor use (for bathing suits and beach towels) has been installed near the cottage entrance. An expansive deck over-looking the cove includes areas for cocktails/lounging (with sofa, club chairs, lounge chairs and a coffee table), grilling on the brand new Napoleon BBQ, al fresco dining and star gazing. Two patio umbrellas (with stands) are provided to permit shade in the heat of the day. A stone pathway links the deck to a firepit patio with six colourful Adirondack chairs where you can lounge waterside in the daytime or have a campfire in the evening. Firewood and kindling are supplied. A stone pathway also connects the designated parking area to the cottage for easy transport of luggage. Four kayaks, four paddles and four lifejackets are provided for guest use. The waterways surrounding the peninsula on which the cottage is located are calm and perfect for paddling. When the tide is right, swimming/floating in the cove is a pleasant respite. We do allow non-shedding dogs under 20 lbs or some other dogs by special request only. Note that there is a pet fee for all dogs. The Cottage on the Cove is the perfect tranquil escape from the business of everyday life. Our guests tell us they are sad to leave on check-out day but that they will be back to see us again.

Frank and Val's waterfront property was just the perfect setting. Peaceful with just the sound of wild life around us.The cottage was exceptionally clean, well maintained and very nicely stocked with everything you could possibly need. The seaside decor was lovely and the rooms were all very comfortable and inviting. The outside seating areas were cozy and the fire pit was very nice.The hosts were very quick to respond to any queries and the binder with information about the cottage was handy. We would definitely stay here again.
The cottage on the Cove was wonderful! Clean, very well equipped and the view is amazing! Loved our 10 day stay and will be back next year.

We really enjoyed our stay. The views are gorgeous and the location is quiet and peaceful. The cottage has everything you could need. We particularly enjoyed the use of the kayaks provided.
Beautiful peaceful spot on the water. The cottage is well equipped and has everything you would need. Tranquil setting and the cove is great for kayaking and swimming. 10 minute drive to Lunenburg for shops and restaurants. Frank was great at keeping in touch. We loved our time here and would definitely come again!
We came for Lunenberg & stayed for Heckman’s Island!!! We chose to spend more time at this serene cottage/home on a beautiful, quiet cove than sightseeing around the area - that’s how much my husband & I loved this home/cottage. Many spots to sit outside & take in nature. Our host, Frank was very responsive & thoughtful. Leaving this Cottage on the Cove hoping one day to come back. Thank you very much Frank & Family!!

The cottage was clean, well maintained, and very comfortable for the three of us. Beautiful and peaceful location.
Great property very well maintained. We were there only two nights but very relaxing and comfortable stay. Hosts were great. Everything about it is top notch. Would definitely book again
This cute little cottage was super clean and well-equipped. The hosts were extremely helpful and communicative and even provided tips for local things to do. However, the best part of this stay was this location, which was quiet, peaceful, and absolutely gorgeous.
We had a lovely peaceful time at your accommodations. The view was amazing.
We had a nice evening campfire and the goodies you left came in handy. Thank you
This was the perfect place to come with family. We loved how clean the property was. They thought of everything like propane and firewood. Lots of towels. Everything you need to cook. We forgot coffee but thankfully it was stocked there too. Having ice in the fridge was a major plus, since we forgot that too! The water was beautiful, everything was perfect!
Nice quiet spot on the water, yet close to amenities in Lunenburg. The cottage was clean, roomy, and super well equipped with everything needed for a relaxing stay. Hosts communication was great and we really enjoyed our time there!
