This home on the Northumberland Strait is a modern ocean oasis. You will immediately relax as you take in the views from the kitchen/dining/living room surrounded by three walls of windows. You can unwind in comfort with all the amenities you could want. If you have a talent for the culinary side of things, or simply aspire to be a chef in training, you will be right at home in the fully equipped kitchen. Take in the solitude and sunsets on the 500 square foot deck or with a soak in the hot tub.

A dream kitchen - Gas stove with pot filler feature, refrigerator with water and ice machine, wine fridge in the kitchen island, kitchen aid stand mixer, Coffee machine, French press, and coffee beans to grind fresh coffee in the morning. Fully stocked with cookware, baking ware, serving dishes and stemware. You will also find a full selection of oils, vinegars and spices for your cooking adventures - and sugar and milk for your morning java!

- Air conditioned for your comfort
- Wifi
- kayak available for use and boat slip if you come with a boat!

****Yoga teachers take note! The 16 x 30 upper deck with glass railing facing the ocean is ideal for your yoga retreat and can easily accommodate 10 yoga mats. Namaste.

On a clear day and evening you can see PEI in the distance. Arisaig, where lobster fishermen fish out of and where you can buy fresh lobster during lobster season in May and June, is only a 7-minute drive away. During the summer months there is a cafe with delicious baked goods and fresh chowder, as well as the lighthouse where you can buy an ice cream cone and take in the scenery and boats from the wharf or Arisaig beach. Nearby is Arisaig Provincial Park.

This is a very quiet neighbourhood where we are about .5 km off the main road, Highway 337. There are some cottagers nearby but as you can t see them it is easy to feel like you are the only one in the area. We are located a quick 20-minute drive from the town of Antigonish with many shops and services and STFX University.

During lobster fishing season in May and June you can watch fishermen pull in their daily catch from the comfort of the deck and throughout the summer, watch boats, kayaks and sailboats. With a large gas bbq and plenty of seating, the deck is designed for al fresco entertaining. Or maybe after a busy day of discovering all that the Sunrise Trail and surrounding area has to offer, you would prefer to sit back and relax with a glass of wine and take in the sunset this area is famous for - make it extra special and watch it from the hot tub!

You will need a car to get around. Our house is a great home base for day trips.

As we are 20 minutes from the town of Antigonish you will want to stock up on groceries, beverages and anything else you need before you arrive. Then relax!!!

The PEI ferry is approximately an hour away and in the other direction you will reach Cape Breton Island in about an hour as well.

Halifax is approximately a two-hour drive.

    I wish we were still there . The house views were beyond our expectations of the ocean and the sunsets. You can tell the owners put a lot thought into the layout to get the best views of ocean and land. To be able to sit on patio and enjoy the ocean views and watch the Blue Jays on inside TV at the same time was amazing After a day of exploring the hot tub was a perfect way to unwind and relax over looking the ocean .The kitchen is supplied with all your needs and we enjoyed BQ meals on the patio. Jacqui and Russell are extremely welcoming hostWho would have thought that at the end of a rocky road you would find such a diamond

    Very clean and good space. The view is amazing! We attended events at StFx so the distance was about 10 min too far but if you plan your trips it works. Communication with owner was great! Nice place and highly recommend!

    The house is clean, well stocked and beautifully decorated with lots of space. All amenities were available. The hot tub was clean and enjoyable, with a view of the ocean. Large windows and patio for great ocean views. Quiet location that offered scenic drives and was central to other day trips in the area.

    We travelled 13 hours to this beautiful cottage on the seafront to spend our family vacation and we’re not disappointed! The house is kept exceptionally clean with everything you could think of or need during your stay. Very quiet area with private passage right down to the waterfront. Very short drive from Antigonish and lots of, quaint restaurants in the area. We definitely recommend this place for anyone!

    We absolutely loved staying here… The views were breathtaking! The large deck is where we spent most of our time As the weather was Spectacular! This Cottage had pretty much everything you could possibly need or want. The hot tub and fire pit were thoroughly enjoyed by my family. Russell and Jacqui were super responsive and lovely. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
