Xanadu is the closest you can be to the ocean without taking a cruise vacation. As you arrive on location, driving over the bluff, you are confronted with a panoramic view of water. This exclusive custom (ICF) constructed property comes with luxury appointments both in and out. Great for those who want to relax on the New Brunswick quarried slate patio watching fishermen directly out front in the early morning, whales, seals and eagles during the day or Hawaiian like sunsets, shooting stars and satellites during the night. To the discerning chef, the kitchen has it all. If swimming is your thing, the water at the beach has been termed the 'Warmest North of the Carolina's'. We now offer unlimited high speed fibre-op internet service, which was recently made available by Bell to the area.

The surrounding area is great for the active individual interested in water sports, hiking at Cape George(lighthouse site which inspired Robert Munsch book of the same name) or cycling around 'The miniature Cabot Trail' of the Cape.

The town of Antigonish, site of Highland Games and St. FX University, is only 15 minutes away. Here you can access any amenities you may require. The town also hosts an 18 hole golf course. For the serious golf enthusiast, the world class Cabot Links Golf Course is a 90 minute scenic drive away.

The property is only rented out by the week during prime season. Keywords: Ocean Front, Luxury, Sunsets, Cottage, Kitchen, Beach, Winter Getaway

    We had a wonderful stay here. Paul and Heidi were very kind and accommodating. A beautiful property right up against the Northumberland Strait, which we enjoyed kayaking in. The cottage was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the views.

    Paul and Heidi were excellent hosts. The pictures don’t portray just how beautiful a spot this is. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. We walked the beach explored the area. We will definitely be back!

    Paul and Heidi are fantastic hosts. We were greeted by 2 friendly dogs and Paul offered us delicious Lobster bisque and freshly cooked lobsters upon revival. The kitchen is well equipped with everything thing you need. The view is fantastic. This is the perfect place to relax and recharge your mind and body. If you like relaxing vacations with great views and sunsets I cannot recommend Paul’s place enough.

    This cottage was fantastic, very clean, well furnished and decorated with a relaxing feel. Right on the ocean for great views, sounds and sunsets. Paul and Heidi were excellent hosts and so were Milo and Enzo the wonderful furry (dogs) attendants making sure we had everything needed. We would recommend this cottage to anyone and would certainly stay again when in the area.

    We had a wonderful experience. Communication was clear and concise. The home itself was a beautiful custom built beach house; a new build encompaassing custom vintage features. The proporety is stunning, including a beach steps from the front door with very warm waters. We felt very fortunate to have stayed here and hope to avain soon. You will not be disappointed.

    WOW!!!!! The house is absolutely gorgeous and the host, Paul, so genuine and welcoming. It was a cold day when we arrived and he had a fire in the fireplace, nice music playing, candles in the windows, and string lights on outside. Felt like home as soon as we walked in. The house is beautifully decorated, very comfortable and well appointed. Being dog lovers (especially Goldens in my case), it was an extra treat to be greeted by Enzo and Milo and watch some of their antics. Being cold and rainy some of the time, we really enjoyed the fireplace with coffee to start the day and wine after our hiking adventures. Paul was especially gracious to order lobsters for us, steam them, bring them over, and “chop” them so we could pick the sweet meat out. He is truly a gem of a host and we would definitely stay there again. Our only regret is that we didn’t meet his wife Cathie because we expect she is as special as he is.
