This beach themed cottage is open concept with a queen bed and a queen lazy-boy pull-out couch. Your large bathroom features a porcelain walk-in shower and marble topped vanity. There is an electric fireplace for those cooler evenings.

The kitchen is fully equipped with basic essentials and spices. (Paper towels, ketchup, relish, mustard, coffee, tea, sugar, bar b que sauce, etc). Our amazing drinking water is spring fed so there is no need to buy water. Grocery stores are very close, a 10 minute scenic drive away in beautiful Hubbards.
Your living area looks out over the wide open ocean and the islands of beautiful St. Margarets Bay. Binoculars are provided.

On your spacious veranda deck is a Weber gas barbecue and comfortable patio furniture for alfresco dining. A covered lanai allows outside seating even during a summer rain shower. You also have a propane fire pit for cooler evenings. This deck can comfortably accommodate 8 guests.
The beach across the road is walkable at mid to low tide and is an excellent spot for beach glass hunting. The other beaches, 5 in all, are within a 5 minute drive. Porpoise and seals can sometimes be spotted in the water right in front of the cottage. We have also seen Minke whales.
