Cozy waterfront home perfect for a couples getaway

Cozy & very clean waterfront home, perfect for a couples getaway. Property is overlooking the Saint Andrews Channel with access to a small private wharf. Unfortunately you cannot dive from or dock boat on wharf. Ideal for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing or simply just putting your feet up and relaxing. After a day on the water relax in front of a small campfire and watch the boats returning for the evening as the sunsets. A perfect, well deserved day of peace, calm and tranquility.

Oceanfront Fisherman’s Cottage

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 57 reviews5 months ago

My husband and I had a wonderful stay here. The coastal location is remote, private and beautiful. The clean, roomy cottage had everything we needed for our three night stay. Marcie is a very responsive and thoughtful host who adds a personal touch to your stay. The viewing platform is a great spot for wave watching and coffee sipping. The front room provided additional harbor views when the weather didn't cooperate for outside adventure. We would highly recommend a stay here!

We wouldn’t change a thing! The house was adorable, spotless, has a beautiful view and Vee left muffins and fruit in the house waiting for us! Loved being able to use a washer and dryer, everything seemed new and comfy, not like “leftovers” being used to decorate a rental. Do not pass on this home!!!

Family friendly sandy beach front cottage

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 77 reviews6 months ago

This was an awesome cottage right on the water. It was so nice to walk the beaches in Port Hood steps from the cottage. Managed to get in the last of Celtic Colors but were surprised by everything closing. We left on Monday morning but by Sunday almost everything was closed including one of the 2 restaurants in the town. The amenities in the cabin were great. Loved the views! Comfortable beds. Very clean. Highly recommend Patrick’s listing. You won’t regret it.
