Beach Front Cottage, warmest waters north of the Carolinas

We are now closed for this year. We want to thank all of the guests who stayed with us (several from the U.S. as well as from across Canada), and we look forward to next season (our current plan is to start Sunday May 31, 2026)!

Roomy and comfortable, perfect for a family vacation! Golden sand beach out front*. Fabulous views of the Northumberland Strait, including Pictou Island, the PEI ferry crossing, and sometimes even PEI itself. Three bedrooms that comfortably sleep six. One full & one half bathroom. Large eat-in kitchen. Separate living/dining room with vaulted ceiling. Enclosed front porch and new front deck for morning coffee. Big back deck for afternoon/evening BBQ. 10 minute drive to Melmerby Beach (best public beach in Nova Scotia), 15 minute drive to New Glasgow. 30 minute drive to the PEI ferry located at Caribou NS. 2 hour drive to downtown Halifax. Choice of 3 local golf courses. Cross-fit gym available in New Glasgow as well as a yoga studio and the Pictou County Wellness Center. Great local roads for cycling, and trails for hiking/biking. Attractions include the Museum of Industry in New Glasgow, and the deCoste Performing Arts Center in Pictou. Day trips include the town of Antigonish - you can could also continue east to access Cape Breton, the Cabot Trail, and Fortress Louisburg, or you could instead drive north around beautiful Cape George (the "little Cabot Trail") parts of which can actually be seen toward the east from the front deck of the Cottage itself!

* depending on the severity of winter storms which can take away the beach sand (as in 2024), or bring it back again - we are right next to the ocean after all...

A True Nova Scotia Cottage Experience

Bill is an exceptional host. He is warm, responsive, and genuinely thoughtful. The cottage is an absolute gem: beautifully maintained, sparkling clean, and full of charm. The spacious deck and cozy sun porch offer breathtaking views of the ocean at any time of day and in any weather, making it the perfect place to relax and take it all in. Every detail has been carefully considered to ensure a comfortable and seamless stay, from the well-equipped kitchen to the inviting furnishings. What truly makes this place unforgettable is the sense of history and love woven into every corner. You can feel the generations of family memories that make the cottage feel not just like a rental, but a real home.

Another Great Stay

Our fourth year here and it does not disappoint! Beach is beautiful and and easy access to day trips to PEI or Cape Breton is the weather is not cooperating. Jacqueline had the place spotless for our arrival and JB the caretaker and his life partner Kate are true gems! Highly recommend this location!

Outstanding !

We really enjoyed our stay. The weather was hot & sunny every day so the kids were able to enjoy the ocean and sandy beach during the day, and have smores at the beach bonfire at night. The cottage is very clean with lots of room . The covered sun porch out front was amazing !

Excellent stay

The location on a bluff overlooking the water was superb. The cottage was clean and well-equipped. The caretakers were friendly and helpful in any situation. The owner checked in on us many times during our time there. The stars on a clear night were amazing. I plan to stay there again in the future.

It was extremely clean and well-kept. The view was absolutely beautiful morning and night. We enjoyed it so much we often to stay for a second week. Despite how warm the weather was, there was a beautiful breeze most days. Beach was completely quiet every day and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great location on Northumberland Strait

Very comfortable 3 bedroom cottage situated on the Northumberland Strait. Ideal spot for a quite holiday in rural Nova. Scotia but within a easy drive to Truro or Halifax. Cottage has all the necessary amenities for an enjoyable holiday and the owner and property manager we’re quick to respond to any problems that arose. Would definitely book again.
