About this cottage rental
Welcome to the Northumberland Nook, a coastal retreat for salt, sand and surf seekers that is advantageously perched just above the ocean allowing for uninterrupted panoramic views of the Northumberland Strait. Whether you enjoy lounging on the large deck, relaxing inside or walking the sandy beach, the sights and sounds of the ocean surround you.
Northumberland Nook is a newly renovated 3 bedroom coastal get away located on a secluded sandy beach in Toney River, Nova Scotia. This cozy, comfortable ocean cottage is the ideal escape for those seeking a place to “get away from it all”. Whether you enjoy beach-combing along the sandy shores, walking the endless sand bars, watching the fishing boats haul their traps or swimming in the ‘warmest waters north of the Carolina’s’ we have you covered.
After your time at the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower. Enjoy some relaxation time on our large ocean-facing deck where you are perfectly positioned to experience some of the most stunning, picturesque sunsets. As the evening approaches, and the sky darkens, you have your choice of enjoying the warmth of a campfire in the fire pit, and/or waiting for the stars to reveal themselves for some exceptional stargazing.
What better way to finish off the perfect day than with gourmet fare whether that be barbecuing on the outdoor grill and eating seaside, enjoying lobster caught close by or enjoying a family-style dinner at the custom-made harvest table.
Northumberland Nook is conveniently located on the sunrise trail and is a short 12-minute trip into the historic Town of Pictou. Pictou is the home of the Ship Hector, Grohmann Knives, numerous pubs/eateries, a grocery store and where you can board the ferry to Prince Edward Island. Hit the trail in the opposite direction and arrive at the artistic village of Tatamagouche. This small village has lots to offer its visitors including a number of small artist studios, a farmers’ market, a brewery, the Balmoral Grist Mill, and Jost Vineyards. In both Pictou and Tatamagouche, you have easy access to the Trans Canada Trail which is a great way to see the area either on foot or cycling. All along the sunrise trail you will find numerous parks and sandy beaches that provide the perfect stop for a picnic and cooling off.

Booking ,check in was easy,cottage was immaculate,neighbors friendly My stay at Northumberland Nook included my 2sisters ages 81,76 and myself at age 72The view was like a postcard,sunsets gorgeousThe air conditioning was much appreciated!We were born and raised in Pictou ,therefore dipping our feet in the water is what we enjoy the most however due to our age,managing the stairs and the rocks was difficult for all of us but impossible for our oldest sisterHowever we do realize the challenges of the Northumberland coast and how the beach changes yearly so this is not a criticism,just the realityThank you for allowing us to stay in your exceptional cottage

Location perfect. Great sunsets. Cottage is very nice, just needs to be tightened up a bit( back door ), as lots of bugs get in house. Back door doesn't lick. But overall, very goodas lots of spiders & other bugs

A DIY refurbished cottage (ill fitted doors, uneven floors and windows letting bugs enter) set on a cliff by the ocean that provides amazing views. Large master bedroom, very comfortable lounging areas; basics are provided. Lovely balcony/patio but exposed to hot sun all day (no shade). Access to rocky shores shared & tru neighbours’ property.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Nothumberland Nook and have booked again for next year! . The cottage is spacious, modern and well equipped. The AC was much appreciated as we were experiencing a heat wave. There was great Wifi connection. The beachy decor is well done and adds to the vacation feeling. The large deck overlooks the strait and had fabulous views of the sunsets and sunrises. Though we were not able to have an outdoor fire due to a burn ban it was great to know there was a fire pit with wood provided. The beach was easily accessed by the adjacent stairs and it was great for swimming or you can just sit in your beach chair with your toes in the sand. We enjoyed some of the nearby bike trails and visited the towns of Tatamagouche and Pictou for lunch and shopping. The village River John is a short drive and has the essentials.
The owners were very quick to respond any questions we had. Can’t wait to go back next year and highly recommend if you want a great relaxing vacation for the whole family.
