The space:
This cottage has one full bathroom but also features a second outdoor shower, which is an excellent way to rinse off after a refreshing ocean swim. Guests will have access to our high-speed Fiber Optic internet and are welcome to use our private dock, as well as have two kayaks and a canoe at your disposal. Several other amenities are available on this property, including a large game room.
The game room is in the 2nd story of our barn. This game room features a surround sound system, large TV for movies, a pool table, ping pong, foosball, a bar, and an indoor mini ramp for skilled skateboarders. This is a great spot for kids of all ages! The barn/game room is also used by us, so it does qualify as a communal area, but if you'd like to use the game room without interruption, just let us know, and we're happy to accommodate.
This property is located on the active oyster farm property of Town Point Oysters. All stays include an oyster farm tour (weather and schedule permitting). If you’d like to schedule a farm tour during your stay, please let us know.
Guest access:
Our property is rural, surrounded by the ocean, woods, hiking trails, and nature. Antigonish is only a 10-minute drive away and features many excellent restaurants, local shopping, a golf course, StFX University, and more.
On our property, we have a very long and large driveway. The cottage also has its own parking area. There is plenty of parking space for everyone. Our residence is on the same property, further down the long driveway. However, it is more than 400ft away through the woods and not visible from the cottage.
Spaces shared with us: The driveway, dock, and barn/game room.
Cottage is on an Oyster Farm Property: Set on the grounds of our Town Point Oysters farm, the cottage offers a truly unique coastal experience. From the shoreline and deck, you can watch oyster farming unfold in real time; boats heading out, gear being tended, and the rhythm of working life on the harbour.
While you’ll have a front-row seat to authentic maritime life, the cottage itself remains a peaceful and private retreat. The farm activity is quiet and respectful, adding charm and character to your stay without disrupting the calm, restorative atmosphere of the property.
