About this property

Beachfront Guest Cottage in Antigonish

This spacious cottage comfortably accommodates up to six people for a group vacation or family getaway.

Walk, hike, or kayak right from your door and enjoy the spectacular sunsets from the sand and rock beach.

There is ample private space in each bedroom for sleeping and relaxing, as well as a central space where your whole group can gather to cook, eat, reconnect..

The Master bedroom is complete with ensuite bath, sitting area, and small private balcony overlooking the water.

The lower bedroom has a double bed, ensuite bath, sitting area, and a small covered private balcony overlooking the water.

Finally, the loft bedroom has a queen bed, and a small private, elevated balcony.

The three bedrooms are connected by a central staircase to the upper level great room, kitchen, and elevated deck.

The great room has a fantastic panoramic view of water and fields, where the group can play games, watch movies, and share stories.

The kitchen is fully equipped and large enough for several cooks and helpers.

There are indoor and outdoor dining tables that both seat six.

Other things to note
Antigonish Harbour is a protected estuary where you can kayak, sail, or canoe in protected waters--you can access all this from your door. Prepare for spectacular sunsets as you barbeque on the private deck and watch the herons feed at the water's edge.

Kayaks are available free for guest use.

We are 15 minutes from the town of Antigonish, where you will find St. Francis Xavier University, well-stocked stores, and an assortment of restaurants..

For those seeking more beach time, you will find several beaches close by: rugged Dunn's Beach (30 min walk), 2 miles of sandy beach at Pomquet Provincial Park (10 minute drive), Mahoney's Beach (30 min).

Keppoch Mountain, a recreational site for biking, hiking, disc golf, and winter sports is 25 minutes away.

Lobster season here is May and June. The wharf is just down the road.

You Gotta Stay Here!
What a wonderful property! Even with the less-than-delightful weather, this home was a beauty. Thoughtfully well-appointed kitchen, super clean and loads of space. And our hosts were so welcoming - what a treat! We are so grateful. We really hope to have a chance to return.

Gem of a vacation house
This brand new house overlooks a bay, affording wonder views. Impeccably appointed and with meticulous attention to detail, this is an oasis of quiet and beauty. Hosts went far out of their way to accommodate us. An ideal place for a vacation amid nature, yet 15 minutes drive from a charming town with all the needs of civilization. Our best VRBO.

About the host

Hosted by Kathryn & John

Host profile image
We are both travellers at heart. After years of working abroad and sailing around the North Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Caribbean, we have decided to set down some roots in this lovely spot.

Why they chose this property

We are drawn to the water and natural areas. We love to hike, sail, and kayak and want to share the space with others.
We love that this rural property is close to the university town of Antigonish.
Antigonish is quaint little town but due to the university, has everything we might need: shopping, restaurants, etc...
