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. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - 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 - Note from host: Smoking allowed outside only ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near the bay - Near the sea ### Things to do - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking 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: 2,000 square feet - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Contactless check-in available Minimum check-in age: 25 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM Contactless check-out available ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Check-out instructions The host requires you complete the following before checking out: Load and start the dishwasher Strip any used beds and gather used towels Remove personal items, remove leftover food and drinks, and take out the trash Turn off the lights, lock the doors, and return the keys Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host. ### Rules You are kindly asked to be considerate of other cottage guests and area residents by observing a quiet time between 10:00 PM and 9:00 AM.
