St. Martins Shipyard Cottage is a luxury three-bedroom beachfront retreat that combines coastal charm with every modern comfort. HIGHLIGHTS \- Private beach access right from the lawn \- World’s highest tides at your doorstep \- Panoramic ocean views from every main room \- Cozy wood-burning fireplaces and a covered deck for morning coffee and evening BBQ’s \- Minutes to the Fundy Trail Parkway, St. Martins Sea Caves and local dining \- Spacious layout with 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms \- Modern comfort: Central AC, high-speed Wi-Fi, Smart TV, a jetted tub, full kitchen and laundry \- Four guest kayaks & life jackets for all ages \- Peaceful privacy - your own oceanfront retreat, not shared with anyone THE COTTAGE EXPERIENCE Shipyard Cottage offers the best of both worlds: a cozy, comfortable home with everything you need, paired with the kind of natural setting most visitors only dream about. Gather around the dining table, or curl up in the comfy living room chairs. The covered deck, furnished for comfort, is a cozy outdoor living room where salt air drifts in, songbirds add their sweet soundtrack, and wildlife often makes surprise appearances against the backdrop of sweeping Fundy ocean views. It’s the perfect spot to gather for a family barbecue and savour moments that become cherished lifelong memories. BEDROOMS & LAYOUT The main floor includes a bright and open living space, a well-equipped kitchen, and dining area overlooking the ocean. Three restful bedrooms and two bathrooms make it easy for families or friends to spread out in comfort. The jetted tub in the upstairs bath adds a touch of luxury, while modern furnishings and fresh linens create a warm, welcoming home. OUTDOORS & SURROUNDINGS Step outside and you’re immediately in the heart of Fundy’s beauty. Launch the kayaks, beach-comb for shells and driftwood, or walk on the ocean floor when the tide recedes. Discover a natural flowerpot rock formation just along the shore, the same kind made famous at Hopewell Cape, but found right here outside your door. A short drive takes you to the iconic St. Martins Sea Caves, the entrance to the world-famous Fundy Trail Parkway, and local restaurants serving fresh seafood straight off the boats. RAINY DAY COMFORTS Inside, you’ll find both cable and Smart TV (with access to your streaming accounts), plus a family games cabinet and DVD library, perfect for cozy downtime. These thoughtful touches make stormy Fundy evenings just as memorable as sunny days on the beach. A PLACE WITH A STORY In the 1800s, this very property was the site of the Capt. John Marr and T.H. Bradshaw shipyards, where wooden sailing vessels were built and launched. Sharp-eyed explorers can still find old ship spikes or remnants of the age of sail, reminders that this serene retreat once rang with the sound of shipbuilders’ hammers. WHY GUESTS LOVE IT Guests call the views unforgettable, the setting peaceful, and the private beach unmatched; the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Jetted bathtub - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near the ocean ### Things to do - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property;

We learned to love St Martins and enjoyed the pictures and history books about St Martins very much. The kayaks were perfect for this water loving family and we kayaked and rode the waves near shore at high tide and splashed at low tide. Lovely place to do rock collecting. We collected driftwood at low tide for our campfire on the beach. Kitchen is elaborately stocked with almost any item you would need. We soaked in the quiet mornings, with the sound of the waves rolling in at low tide and the nearby lighthouse foghorn. The nearby general store stocks about anything you would need! ##### JoAnna K.

The most amazing property and such welcoming homeowners, who provided freshly made cookies upon our arrival! Every part of the house has a spectacular view and all the amenities you could want and need. Kayaks, outdoor grill and ocean view deck, TV and DVDs, gorgeous handmade quilts in every bedroom and beautiful local kitchenware pottery. Very much enjoyed the private setting on several acres, so you truly have your own beach and sunsets. The beach is unique in that the tide goes so far out that there are many inlets and areas to discover with low tide. A most relaxing get away from it all, yet close to local well known and must discover sites such as the St Martins Sea Caves and Bay of Fundy Trail. Shipyard Cottage is a spectacular spot and so glad we were able to experience it! ##### Victoria V.

We enjoyed kayaking the water channel around high tide and walking out farther at low tide. The home was very well maintained and quite comfortable. Valerie met us and left behind fresh cookies on our arrival. We enjoyed watching sunrises at breakfast and playing cards in the evening in the dining area during sunset. Valerie has several gorgeous handmade quilts for the beds and has some nice artwork around the home. The kitchen is well stocked including some handmade pottery cups and bowls. There are restaurants and a general grocery with freshly made sausage nearby and many sites to see and trails to walk. Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again! ##### Jean L. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma A.

The hosts were very pleasant to deal with and answered any questions I had promptly. The property and cottage were beautiful, even better than the photos show. Situated about 1/2 hr drive from Saint John and 2 hrs from Hopewell rocks, with the Fundy trail (about 15 mins to the trail entrace) and Fundy National Park (about 1 hr to entrance) in between. Saint Martin's was a cute little place and fun to visit and experience the local small town life. Everything and anything you can think of was supplied. Really all you would need to bring is yourselves. Pillows, spare toiletries, sunscreen, bug spray, board games for the rainy day(s), books, DVD, baseball gloves, bat and balls, wifi and the list goes on. We had an amazing time and would book again in a heart beat. ##### Emma A. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John T. Aug 26, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Top Notch The Shipyard Cottage was a well-equipped, comfortable house in a beautiful, peaceful location. We enjoyed it so much that we actually stayed in and ate in more than we had planned and expected. We enjoyed the use of the owner's kayaks, going out 5 of 7 days and exploring the wetlands and stream nearby. (Note: Kayaking is only possible within 1-2 hours on either side of high tide; otherwise, it's a long portage back to the house!) The house has a fully-equipped kitchen (appliances, cookware, essential spices/oils, coffee filters, laundry/dish detergent), two full baths with good water pressure and hot water supply, and comfortable bedrooms with the owner's hand-made quilts covering the beds. We also enjoyed the short walk (30 minutes) to West Quaco lighthouse, and to the amenities of the charming town of St. Martins (including a terrific butcher counter at Huttges general store). We also enjoyed exploring the rocky beaches exposed at low tide. In summary, the cottage was clearly a cherished second home, which made it a cozy and comfortable place to stay. ##### John T. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel P. Sep 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved it This was our first trip to New Brunswick, Canada and we are so very glad we stayed here. The location was perfect and the view of the Bay of Fundy was spectacular. The Fundy Trail is nearby and the Sea Caves and quaint little town too. We also visited the nearby lighthouse in the evenings and walked at low tide from the house to get a view of the Flowerpot that can be seen to the right of the house. We went to the Hutges General Store a few times for groceries and they were so helpful, we enjoyed Sandpiper Gift shop and Shipyard Cafe. Valerie is helpful with any questions that come up. What a wonderful and cozy home to stay in while being close by to the sights. We really loved it and would stay here again if coming to this area. I would recommend this place highly to anyone wanting a peaceful, relaxing vacation while staying in a lovely home. My husband and I drove to Hampton for golf and we did a day trip to St John city and the Reversing Falls but our favorite part of the trip was at the house and surrounding area. It was definitely worth the trip and makes us want to come back to see more of the New Brunswick coastal areas. My parents especially were amazed by the tides and we found ourselves looking at that quite often to see the difference over time and enjoyed walking the beach looking for rocks. It’s an entrancing place and we are glad we happened to find this listing. Thank you Valerie and Matt for a simply special little getaway in your beautiful home. ##### Rachel P.

Jul 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic! What a great place to stay on the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick! There's really nothing more I can think of that we would have wanted. Well appointed kitchen, two full bathrooms, a closet filled with family games, excellent wifi (we needed to do some work while away), streaming, and a fun collection of DVDs. Very clean, and plenty of space for our family of four to both be together and have our own space. Loved the expansive views of the bay! AC was on when we arrived but we were able to open the windows and turn it off for most of the visit. The porch facing the bay extends the length of the house. Plenty of seating and a really nice propane grill. Expansive lawn extends down to the tidal estuary (? - I think that's what it would be called) with access to the bay. Safe and easy paddling as the tide comes up and down. And oh those tides! We took some amazing hikes at low tide - stunning rock formations not too far from the house, accessible at low tide. St. Martins sea caves are really wonderful. Great views also from the nearby lighthouse trail. Cell phone coverage (roaming for us) was strong. The town of St. Martins was super charming with some great seafood, ice cream and a great little sundries store for limited supplies. Valerie was very communicative as needed, but also allowed us to just be; she was available through the VRBO app (and by phone/text) if we needed her. So glad we stayed here and would recommend to anyone heading to the area! ##### Christopher K. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gord R.

My son and us went out to the beach almost every day at low tide, only 45 min to St John, St. Martin a couple minutes away, couldn't of asked for a better spot. First time through VRBO, will definitely do it again, very pleasant experience ##### Gord R.

The view was incredible. The cottage was as expected. Clean and cozy. It had everything we needed. Comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and a great porch to sit and admire the view. Beyond the view you see from the cottage is a great beach. It is only a few careful steps to get there. Water shoes are needed. The property is huge with lots of room to run around. Overall we had a great time. Unfortunately we had to leave early due to hurricane Fiona on its way. I hope the cottage and property withstood the brunt of the storm. We would definitely recommend this cottage. ##### Elaine A. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy W.

My family had a great vacation at this cottage and surrounding area. The location was perfect - peaceful, private, but still close to so many attractions and restaurants. Being so close to the Bay of Fundy, and experiencing the tides every day was very special. We even saw a seal one day while kayaking right from the cottage! The cottage itself had everything we needed and Valerie was a great host, always responding promptly. Thank you for everything! ##### Shani A.

The cottage is extremely well equipped. Our favourite place was the covered front porch watching the tides come and go and all the birds. Such a relaxing and peaceful spot, exactly what we needed! ##### Tina S. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ness W. Aug 16, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Our Week at Shipyard Cottage This was the ideal spot for our family. Mom,Dad,and Lily(4) and myself(80). The cottage was perfectly appointed and the grounds leading to the water were peaceful and beautiful. There was so much to see and do within thirty minutes drive, and the village itself,charming. I stayed back a couple of afternoons to read on the porch and watch the tides. Even found the old cemetery at the top of the hill.(I'm a photographer).Thank you for a wonderful stay. Sorry we did not meet you,Matthew and Valerie….next time! Sincerely, the Welhams ##### Ness W.
