When 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 has two rooms, a bedroom with a double bed and a separate living area with a pull out couch that can sleep an additional adult or two children. With its wide plank original flooring, low sloped ceiling and a dormer window with a view of the Bay of Fundy, 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 owner, 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 fatherJoe, the property manager, reside on the and are happy to help if you have any questions, especially about planning your adventures on the Bay or the nearby Fundy Trail Parkway. 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. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - No elevator (single-level property) - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near the bay - Near the sea ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Garden - Recycling - Unit size: 800 square feet - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109590000/109580800/109580749/d8b8dea5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Quaco Cottages-The Paramatta West Quaco - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space - Parking available 10 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-21&endDate=2025-11-22&selected=109580749&PinnedHotelID=109580749&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22410000/22406000/22405983/05d0c1ab.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Shipbuilder's Cottage-Two Century Old Charm West Quaco - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 99 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-21&endDate=2025-11-22&selected=22405983&PinnedHotelID=22405983&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102200000/102191600/102191534/31ed3a48.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Quaco Cottages - The Waterloo West Quaco - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 19 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-21&endDate=2025-11-22&selected=102191534&PinnedHotelID=102191534&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102340000/102338500/102338463/42406c66.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Quaco Cottages - The William Carson West Quaco - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Parking available 10 Exceptional 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-21&endDate=2025-11-22&selected=102338463&PinnedHotelID=102338463&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96760000/96757500/96757471/w508h683x258y0-e9d5a4dd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lovely apartment across from the Bay of Fundy.
