3 Bedroom Cottage in West Quaco

Surrounded by spacious grounds, the Shipbuilder’s Cottage is one of two separate but adjacent rental units (The Shipbuilder's Summer Kitchen). Built in 1812 by shipbuilder Caleb Ward as a summer cottage, it is the oldest home in St. Martins. Its centrepiece is the original brick hearth around which many generations have enjoyed a meal, a pint, or a fire on a chilly night. A well-equipped kitchen, an old oak dining table and a large sectional couch are arranged around it in a spacious room where the whole family can relax. The master bedroom on the main floor features a queen-size bed, a sunny bay window, an en-suite bathroom and a laundry room.
Upstairs there are two more bedrooms with comfortable double beds, a second bathroom with a deep claw-foot tub and a bidet - for those so inclined. There is another large living room upstairs with high ceilings and exposed timber beams that also contains two single beds. There are board games, puzzles and a Smart TV connected to Wi-Fi (there is no cable or satellite service) that can access your personal Netflix, Prime Video, Disney, etc. accounts.
Outside there is a flagstone patio with BBQ, fire pan, chairs, hammocks in the trees and a sprawling lawn for playing games. On calm nights the world's highest tides can be heard washing into shore, carving the red rock coastline to smooth perfection.
The cottage is located at 170 West Quaco Rd minutes 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 Park 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 those in the adjacent rental unit and local residents and observe a quiet time from 10:00 pm-9:00 am.
The owner Nick and his father Joe, the property manager, reside on the property and are happy to help if you have any questions, especially about planning your adventures in the area or the nearby Fundy Trail Park. Otherwise, your privacy is the priority and you will have the freedom to enjoy your vacation in this cottage that was passed from loving owner to loving owner and found its way to Nick.

Scott M. Sep 27, 2024 12:23:24 AM
Summary: We loved this quaint cottage and location. Both Joe and Nick were very responsive and helpful and the cottage was immaculate. We enjoyed sunrise at the lighthouse each morning and the Saint Martin and surrounding area. We shall return.
Molly J. Sep 12, 2024 07:27:10 PM
Summary: Our first impression was pretty bad, but the property starts to grow on you. We enjoyed the kitchen room and the large living room upstairs. Some investment in the bathrooms and electrical would go a long way to making this a great place. It was certainly memorable.

Summary: There's much to enjoy about Shipbuilders Cottage. Location close to everything St. Martins. Lovely outdoor space, nearby beaches and accommodating hosts. I'd recommend it with the caveat that if you're tall or unsteady, watch your yourself upstairs; it is the oldest building in St. Martins!

Summary: This is a beautiful property, the house and surrounding grounds are perfect for a relaxing vacation. We loved the location. The hosts, Joe and Nick, are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend a stay here.

Summary: Although I’m from this area, I rented the cottage as our family is growing! It was a perfect safe location for children and a great area for walks to the lighthouse and bay. The cottage has lots of games and toys for kids, including Lego! Nice big fridge, comfortable living space and the upstairs area is great for kids, including a tv. Two bedrooms upstairs were cozy! Kayaking tours in St Martin’s; highly recommended! Village grocery( candy) store and Spinny’s for fish chowder and lobster rolls. Lots of history in St. Martin’s; it was a shipbuilding village in the 1800’s.! Thanks for the great accommodations Joe and Nik.

Summary: Travelling from out of province, this was a lovely, quiet place to stay for a few nights. There were plenty of beds for all of us, plus couches to relax on and a decent-sized kitchen. The kids loved exploring and hanging out in the hammocks, and it was a short drive into St. Martins to explore the sea caves and coastline. The property manager made sure to meet with us and ensure we had all that we needed during our stay.
Richard C. Jul 11, 2024 04:23:25 AM
Summary: Experienced a bit of local history close up. Lovely home. Clean and well stocked. Not the conventional home. Smaller room s upstairs with low thresholds. Steep stairs. Not for big people. Down stairs bedroom quite nice. Loved the gardens.

Summary: Very nice views of the ocean within 1 minute of Walking
Toni N. Aug 26, 2023 09:33:03 PM
Summary: Staying in the Shipbuilder’s cottage is like travelling back in time. We loved the charm and character. We also enjoyed reading and learning about the history of the area. The owners are very helpful and quick to respond to any questions. We had a great time for our summer getaway!

Summary: This cottage has been very well renovated, so the character of the old property remains very much in evidence, but modern conveniences are discreetly in place! We were a party of 6, two parents mid 50s and four 20 somethings, and we found the property comfortable and spacious - room for all to spread out and relax. We enjoyed lovely walks along the coast from the lighthouse to Brown Beach, which truly is a hidden gem. We loved the outdoor seating area where we could sit around the fire and chat. All in all, this was a great base for a relaxing few days exploring the Fundy Parkway and National Park - we would be definitely recommend for similar groups.
