A very nice, quiet little cottage. It is well equipped - kitchen, bathroom and laundry room. The nearby village of St Martin’s has a small grocery store and several restaurants. Also close to a beach with great rocks and views at low tide. We hadn’t noticed in the listing that there isn’t a living room or couch.

Thank you very much. So glad that you found the cottage comfortable and enjoyed yourselves during your stay. I guess the absence of a living room and couch missed your attention. I'm sorry. I'll look at the listing and see if it can made more clear.

Comfortable, nice location, very happy to have a dog friendly place and including dog sheets!I didn't notice when booking that there's no living room. Wouldn't have needed one if the weather was nice so I wasn't paying attention when booking, but just a head's up if this is important to you

Great place to unplug

If you’re looking for a place where you can walk to the Bay of Fundy, enjoy a quiet evening after a seafood dinner, watch the tides go out and come back in, then this a great choice

This is a wonderful character property. Perhaps not surprisingly, the kitchen was fantastic to work in. Lots of counterspace and good amenities. The available avocado oil, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar were a pleasant surprise. The firepit was a welcome evening addition. Please be advised this is not an accessible property for those with mobility issues. The sleeping accommodations are up an 11-step staircase, and bathroom facilities are on the entrance level. One must also walk through one sleeping space from the master to get to the bathroom, which is also not the best for some travelers. Highly recommended.

Wonderful Experience

The cottage was extremely charming, located near so much to see and do and was very comfortable. There were so many little touches, from fresh flowers in the kitchen to interesting books and brochures about local subjects that made the stay special. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Joe was there when we arrived so Easy check in and check out! The kitchen had everything we needed, there were 6 of us staying at the cottages and we had dinner in our kitchen every night! Joe and Nick had great suggestions for sight seeing and directions on how to get there. And our daughter got engaged. One of the best stays and vacations we’ve ever had - thank you
