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.

Cottage with huge view
What a great spot. 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.

Wonderful vacation home
The whole process was a delight, from the original booking process to checking out. 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.

Amazing family stay!
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!

The Shipyard Cottage
We truly enjoyed our stay at The Shipyard Cottage! Everything was just perfect. 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!
