About this cottage rental
We are centrally located! A great place to stay for a restful vacation, and/or as a starting off point to explore other parts of Nova Scotia such as Halifax and the south shore, the Bay of Fundy to the west, Cape Breton to the east, or PEI to the north (via the nearby ferry at Caribou). We still have the second half of October to accept new bookings.
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 4 local golf courses (two 18 and two 9 hole). Cross-fit gym available in New Glasgow as well as a yoga studio and the Pictou County Wellness Center. Quiet 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...
Please do not drive/park vehicles on the front lawn, where the septic field is located.

Stayed here for a week, absolutely loved it
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
We absolutely loved our stay in this wonderful cottage! The cottage itself is bright and airy and much bigger inside than we expected. Lots of room in the kitchen, living room and screened in veranda. Nice to have a bathroom-and-a-half with 5 or 6 people staying. The washer and dryer are great too. Very good communication with the host and caretaker, very friendly! The view of the Northumberland Strait is amazing, and we enjoyed being able to access the beach directly from the cottage via the stairs. It was lovely to walk along to and around the sandy point, especially at sunset. There are deer and bunnies around which was a big hit with the kids! We watched Blue Heron along the shoreline. It’s quiet and peaceful, sometimes the only sound was the birdsong. There were fireflies at night. It’s a very close drive to Melmerby Beach which is also a treat. Truly one of the best beaches in Nova Scotia, with huge sandbars at low tide. Very kid friendly. We would definitely return to this property. Our only complaint is the week passed by too quickly!

Great cottage, and location. A bit difficult to navigate to.
