West Quaco Cottage | Quaco Cottages - The Shipbuilder's Summer Kitchen

2 Bedroom Cottage in West Quaco

Surrounded by spacious grounds of lawns, trees and flowers, this 1½ story structure was built in the early 1900’s as a summer kitchen addition to the main house (The Shipbuilder's Cottage built in 1812) When originally built it contained a kitchen, pantry, storage, root cellar and upper level living area.
Today, the lower level, with its original wide plank floors, contains a fully equipped comfy kitchen with bathroom and laundry room. The upper level with its low sloped ceilings offer two comfortable bedrooms with double beds. This cozy space and the surrounding property offer is a great place to relax after a day of exploring the nearby beaches and trails.
Outside there are many places to relax and take in the view of the Bay, including a screened-in gazebo (shared), hammocks slung between trees, and a sprawling lawn for playing games. The yard blooms all summer long with perennial flowers and fruit trees, and on calm nights the world's highest tides can be heard washing into shore, carving the red rock coastline to smooth perfection. The Summer Kitchen has its own patio, BBQ and fire pan just outside the front door.
The cottage is located at 170 West Quaco Rd 5 km from the Village of St. Martins, the harbour, restaurants, cafe, art and gift shops, tourist information centre, museum and the Sea Caves. The Fundy Trail is 13 km from the cottage. Within walking distance of the cottage is The Quaco Head Lighthouse (1.3kms), and Brown's beach (1.9kms) - which is as quiet as it is scenic and a rock lover's dream. There is also a coastal trail that connects the two.
In consideration of the peace and serenity offered by its location, guests are asked to be considerate of the property owner and those in the other rental units by observing a quiet time from 10:00 pm-9:00 am.
The owner Nick and his fatherJoe, the property manager, reside on site and are happy to help if you have any questions regarding the property or about planning your adventures in the area. Although involved in continuing property maintenance, your privacy and an enjoyable vacation stay is our priority.

Summary: We had a wonderful stay in this charming, comfortable,quiet place with an old charm and rich history. It is well equiped and well situated.
Martin K. Aug 7, 2024 03:52:06 AM
Summary: We were travelling with some other relatives so we didn't spend a lot of time in this location. No living room here so things were a little tight. Our son slept in the TV area on a fold out couch. That made it a little tough to watch the Olympics... Overall a good clean location with an outstanding bathroom and shower.
