Property Description

Enjoy your breakfast with a spectacular view of the sunrise! Whether you're sitting at the kitchen table, or out on the deck you will enjoy the view. The ocean is but a stone's throw away! Set up for housekeeping, this cottage has an electric stove, fridge, microwave, pots, pans, cutlery, toaster and coffee maker. It includes a color TV with cable for those rainy kind of days, and an outside telephone for everyone's use.

A small country road runs in front of the cottage and the ocean is waiting just on the other side. What a beautiful view! From here you can see Wood Island and Gannet Rock. You can watch the seals play and watch a lovely variety of birds (including bald eagles).

We are only open from Spring until Fall, so make your reservation early so you don't miss out! 1-877-824-8107

Things To See & Do

Beachglass. Many of the beaches are littered with beach glass - small pieces of broken bottles, dishes, etc. Broken glass and crockery were often discarded along the shore before there were open dumps and then the present day transfer station. These became part of the rocky or sandy beach and over time became sandblasted from frequent scouring as the shards rolled up and down the beach with the tides and waves. While brown, green and white are very common, cobalt blue, lavendar, turquoise and red can also be found but in much smaller quantities.

Birdwatching. Situated on a major eastern flyway, the Grand Manan Archipelago is renowned as a bird watcher's paradise. Over 360 species have been reliably identified, 131 of which have been found breeding here since 1900. While 'birding' is a year round pasttime for many islanders (reveling in the winter with thousands of seabirds - common murres, razorbills, kittiwakes and dovekies - just offshore), the best times for visitors are the spring migratory periods (early April to early June), followed by the summer nesting season and the fall migratory period.

Machias Seal Island - Puffins, Razorbills & more. This island, outermost of the Grand Manan group, is the southernmost breeding site of the North Atlantic puffin. In addition, razorbills, Arctic and common terns, and some land birds breed on this remote rocky island. While the birds begin arriving in late May, actual breeding and nesting activities usually commence in mid-June. Machias Seal Island is a Canadian Migratory Bird Sanctuary maintained by the Canadian Wildlife Service and restricts the number of daily visitors during the seabird breeding period. Tours are available through Sea Watch Tours. A large lighthouse is located on the island and lightkeepers (the last in the three maritime Canadian provinces - New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia) still maintain the light.
