Beachfront Guest Cottage in Antigonish

John and Katheryn were great hosts. They made sure we has all we needed, respected our privacy, and respo ded quickly to any questions. The hoise is right on the wayer which made our kayaking experience outstanding.

Awesome stay, great hosts and dodgy weather, nice to be inside.

This property is GORGEOUS!!! The place is soooo homey and the hosts have added so many welcome touches such as milk, condiments, ample coffee, honey, sun screen… they absolutely thought of everything and I felt so spoiled staying there. The view is MAGIC and the home so cozy. We will be back!

Last minute booking due to NS forested park trails being closed due to wildfire risks…what a great pivot! Beautiful house, well stocked with great hosts. Lots of stairs if that is a concern.

Amazing cottage, bright, roomy and well furnished; beautiful secluded location, great for swimming and kayaking with the kids; kind and thoughtful hosts. Perfect spot!

Excellent location, well stocked, clean, welcoming and helpful hosts!

Spent 4 days. Beautiful location on a beach, very quiet, kayaking every day. Nesting eagles a ross the way. Host were exceptionally hospitable- went with us fown the street to get fresh lobsters off the boat

Excellent property and hosts!

Perfect place for two couples to relax and enjoy the beautiful harbour! John and Kathryn have thought of everything that you need for a comfortable stay. We loved watching the eagles and other birds from the deck or from the cozy window seat overlooking the water! We would definitely love to visit again!

First off, the hosts (John and Kathryn) were fabulous. Had everything ready to go. And always so helpful with things, including switching to a firmer bed for us! They're fabulous. But there are a few things to be aware about. There are lots of bugs on the beach -- insect spray even during the day. It's a rocky beach (great for rock hunting), but you're going to have to go to Pomquet Beach for a sandy beach. The hot water in the house is limited so you need to take a timely shower and not linger around too long. The cell service (and I have both Bell and Rogers) was spotty. So if you're trying to disconnect, it's great! And to get to the house, is down a steep path. We have a SUV so it's not an issue, but it may be if you don't have good grip. Thank you for a great stay in a beautiful place.

We spent a great week in this clean, bright, spacious cottage that was generously supplied with everything one could wish for when travelling, from maple syrup, milk, cream, mustard, ketchup and relish in the refrigerator plus olive oil and vinegar in the terrifically outfitted kitchen to great beach towels, bbq equipment and kayaks to use. It is aptly named Quarterdeck and is a few feet from the shore of the bay with lovely views of sunset from the great room and decks. It is a quiet retreat, only minutes drive away from lovely, sandy beaches and Antigonish’s Main Street with StFX and the excellent Bauer summer theatre on campus. The principal bedroom was spacious with a very comfortable King size bed and there were two large walking closets with lots of shelves. Our hosts were warm, welcoming, responsive and even spent the time to get us set up in the kayaks and take us out on the water. A memorable visit!
