About this property

The Boathouse overlooking Green's Point Lighthouse and Passamaquoddy Bay

Ready for an adventure? The Boathouse is tucked away on Green's Point Road in L'Etete, just a three-minute stroll from the Green's Point Lightstation and museum. Once a rugged workspace, we’ve converted it into a cozy coastal retreat that puts you right in the middle of the wild Atlantic landscape.
Kick back on the deck and soak in the raw sights and sounds—think crashing waves, barking seals, and the deep moan of the foghorn as the mist rolls in. Keep your binoculars handy, because you’re likely to spot everything from migrating birds to whales right from shore. When the tide pulls back, it’s game on: head out to explore the nearby islands and discover treasures like sea glass and tide pools left behind by the Bay of Fundy's famous tides.

A little slice of paradise

A wonderful relaxing experience in a beautiful coastal setting. Our host Maureen was exceptional and couldn’t have done more to make our stay special. The boathouse itself is outfitted with local art and artifacts, and has been lovingly renovated. Truly one of the best VRBO vacations that we have experienced.

Ocean VIiew

This cottage is great, well designed and decorated, very comfortable. It offers great views of the ocean and an easy drive to any hiking trails, which we enjoy. The lighthouse nearby is an added bonus, just a short stroll over the causeway to get to. A fantastic place to watch the ferry and the setting sun!

Wonderful!

So beautiful, so relaxing. Charming place in a wonderful location walking distance to the lighthouse. Abundant wildlife and gorgeous views! There is a often an audible foghorn, which we personally loved, but a possible consideration for exceptionally light sleepers or those sensitive to noise. Plan to visit again!

We had a wonderful week at the Boathouse Cottage. The location could not have been better. You are a 2 minute walk away from a secluded cove on the Bay of Funny (Kelly's Cove) with so much to explore at low tide. The tide pools had lots of treasures- crabs, shells, jellyfish, and unbeatable sunsets. Just 10 minutes away is the small town of St. George with a grocery store and other amenities. Easy day trips include St. Andrews by the Sea (40 minutes) and the white sand beaches of peace river beach (30 minutes) We also really enjoyed exploring Deer Island - the free 20 minute ferry is only 5 minutes from the cottage. The cottage itself was the perfect size for our family of 4. Rustic but appointed; it had the charm of a small restored boathouse but all the comforts and necessities we needed. The owner, Maureen, lives next door and is always available to answer any questions. She is a long time resident to the Bay of Fundy and provided us with local recommendations on beaches to explore and dining that were fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Boathouse and hope to return to again.

The boathouse is quirky and kind of artsy and fun! Nice side deck with very comfy chairs and a propane fire table. (the propane was not working great but my handy brother had it fixed in no time) No Bon fires on property but the beach is literally across the street. Lovely beach views, we thought we would be even closer as per the pics but had no issues. The pollinator flowers and grounds were so lovely and peaceful. The owners are lovely, they have a cute dog but he was a little growly. I am a dog lover but it could be a little scary for children. Being so close to the bay, the house cooled down at night but upstairs was very warm during the day. The main bedroom was nice and large, the loft bedroom was open, to the left as soon as you came upstairs so no hallway or upstairs bathroom. Overall it was a nice get away. We enjoyed the ferry ride over to deer island.The kitchen had everything that you needed. No stove per say, but two burners, toaster oven, air fryer, microwave and a bbq (on the deck)The bathroom had lovely thick face cloths and nice towels.

About the host

Hosted by Maureen Cowan

Host profile image
As a retired nurse I'm a parent to three children, a grandparent to three boys, and a caregiver to two cats and a dog. My husband, a retired biologist and professor, are spending our retirement years renovating an 1863c fisherman's cottage. At our daughter's suggestion, we converted the old boathouse on our property into a cozy short-term rental.

Why they chose this property

Green's Point Lighthouse and Museum stands as a maritime gem, rich in history and resilience against nature's fiercest elements. This area serves as a haven for diverse wildlife, amidst unpredictable weather patterns, the Bay of Fundy high tides fosters an intimate connection with the raw beauty of nature.

Growing up with family ties to the sea, I harbored a childhood dream of coastal living, immersed in the rhythm of the tides, the spectacle of storms, the moan of the fog horn, and the serenity of sunsets. The cries of seagulls, the annual migration of birds and whales, and the occasional visits from deer and other wild creatures were all part of the enchanting tapestry of life by the ocean.

What makes this property unique

Tucked near the iconic Green's Point Lighthouse at L'Etete Passage, where the Bay of Fundy meets Passamaquoddy Bay, our location is surrounded by rugged coastlines, abundant wildlife, and the captivating ebb and flow of the Bay of Fundy tides. Our restored 'Boathouse' has been transformed into a bright, welcoming guest cottage, seamlessly blending modern comforts with timeless charm.

Perfectly situated, The Boathouse is the ideal starting point for countless memorable day trips. Discover the nearby cities, towns, and harbors of New Brunswick, or cross the border into Maine at St. Stephen. The picturesque town of Saint Andrews by the Sea invites you to explore its rich history and connections to figures like Lord Beaverbrook and Sir William Van Horne. Nearby islands, including Deer Island and Campobello, offer fascinating excursions, with Campobello being home to President Roosevelt's historic summer retreat. Just ten minutes away, the working-class town of Saint George, where the fishing industry thrives, provides easy access to supplies, fresh seafood, and laundry services.

After a day of exploration, return to The Boathouse and unwind on the deck, taking in the stunning views—a perfect way to end your day of discovery.
