About this property

Your Own Private Beachfront Vacation Home

Watch the powerful Bay of Fundy tides rise and fall at the lawn's edge from this luxury beachfront vacation home. Three beautifully appointed bedrooms, kitchen, dining and living rooms with full ocean views. Two full baths, one with jet tub, wood burning fireplaces in living room and master bedroom, dishwasher, washer, dryer, fully equipped kitchen, covered deck and gas BBQ. Full communication services with high-speed internet, phone and satellite TV.

The toughest decision will be whether to explore the world-class Fundy Trail Parkway or stay at home and launch kayaks from the lawn's edge, beach comb and walk on the ocean floor. You will be lured outside with the peaceful grace of these surroundings, not just because of the recreational possibilities but because you will crave the smell and sight and sounds of it.

Steeped in history, this property looked very different in the 19th century. The 1800's saw slipways and wooden vessels built on this property as this was the location of the Capt. John Marr and T.H. Bradshaw age-of-sail shipyards. There's still lots for the amateur archaeologist to discover, from the blunted stumps of the slipway pilings where sailing vessels were launched to spikes and rusty tools buried in the soil.

Send us a query and we'll answer whatever questions you may have. Wishing you a pleasant and refreshing vacation!

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.

Fun in Fundy Bay
Perfect jumping off spot for exploring all that the Fundy Bay has to offer. Fabulous waterfront with a flowerpot formation just a short walk from Shipyard Cottage . Beach is perfect for a picnic. The house is private and full of personal touches by the host. Very special in so many ways. St. Martins has all kinds of interesting places to explore.

A magical property
This was a wonderful place to spend a relaxing vacation with my family. The only thing I wish I had known would be to being water shoes to explore the one of a kind ocean floor during low tide. I have never experienced anything like this place and likely won't again. We feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to experience this place

About the host

Hosted by Valerie Mawhinney

Host profile image
Greetings from Valerie & Matthew Mawhinney! As former innkeepers, we have an innkeeper's attention to comfort and hospitality. We have endeavored to appoint Shipyard cottage with all of the amenities you expect in a luxury cottage.

Why they chose this property

We built the cottage in 2001 as a second home and convenient base for Matthew's spring lobster fishing season in St. Martins. We recently added lovely new furniture including the dining set, leather sofa and chairs and new bunk beds with premium mattresses.

What makes this property unique

The cupboards are stocked with beautiful handmade pottery by local artisans at Happy Fish Pottery. The beds are appointed with Valerie's handmade quilts.
