About this property

Oceanfront Cottage on a Quiet Cove Just Outside Lunenburg

Welcome to The Cottage on the Cove. This charming cottage has been completely renovated top to bottom in 2021. It is located right on the water on an in-shore inlet of the Atlantic ocean about 10 minutes from the town centre of Lunenburg. It has gorgeous water views from all of the main living areas. A new heat pump allows climate control (heat and air conditioning) for all weather conditions and guest preferences. The cottage can sleep six comfortably with two bedrooms (one queen, one double) and a queen-sized sofa bed in the living room. Linens are provided for all seasons and sleeping preferences (sheets, blankets, quilts & duvets). A full bath includes toilet, sink with vanity and tub/shower combo. Hair dryer & towels for the bath as well as beach towels for the shore are provided. The living room has ample seating with two sofas and two club chairs. An electric fireplace provides a nice ambiance for the occasional rainy evening. The entertainment system permits watching of DVDs (200+ provided for use) and listening to music. Bell FibreOp high-speed internet service including wifi is now available at the cottage for guest use. The indoor dining table (seats six) overlooks the water. The chef’s kitchen is well equipped for cooking and baking to your heart’s content. Full size refrigerator, electric range, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, electric kettle, pots, pans, cooking utensils, dishes, flatware, glassware, wine glasses, baking pans and even a large lobster/mussel/clam pot are all provided. A full-size washer & dryer are also located in the kitchen. A clothes drying rack for outdoor use (for bathing suits and beach towels) has been installed near the cottage entrance. An expansive deck over-looking the cove includes areas for cocktails/lounging (with sofa, club chairs, lounge chairs and a coffee table), grilling on the brand new Napoleon BBQ, al fresco dining and star gazing. Two patio umbrellas (with stands) are provided to permit shade in the heat of the day. A stone pathway links the deck to a firepit patio with six colourful Adirondack chairs where you can lounge waterside in the daytime or have a campfire in the evening. Firewood and kindling are supplied. A stone pathway also connects the designated parking area to the cottage for easy transport of luggage. Four kayaks, four paddles and four lifejackets are provided for guest use. The waterways surrounding the peninsula on which the cottage is located are calm and perfect for paddling. When the tide is right, swimming/floating in the cove is a pleasant respite. The Cottage on the Cove is the perfect tranquil escape from the business of everyday life. Our guests tell us they are sad to leave on check-out day but that they will be back to see us again.

Heckman’s Island Cottage

We had a very comfortable stay at this well equipped cottage, on an inlet cove near Lunenburg. It was very quiet which was to our liking and I enjoyed photographing the many water birds around the cove.

Peaceful and Tranquil Retreat

When we first drove up we knew it was going to be peaceful because we were greeted by a family of deers. We found the cottage well equipped with everything we needed and with some extras like cozy blankets for the fire pit and supplies for making s’mores.

Stunning waterfront cottage

The cottage is just perfect for a quiet relaxing vacation! It was extremely clean and it had all the provisions you’d have in your own home. You can tell the owners take great pride in this cottage, they are also extremely responsive. We rented in April so they came out a couple hours in advance to turn the heat on for us which was above & beyond! We loved the wildlife, we saw so many deer! They have a guest book, so we enjoyed reading the comments from previous guests. One couple had their honeymoon there, another got engaged, a lot of families, and even friends weekends. They have created this little retreat for us to all enjoy. We chose this location because we wanted to explore a different area of the province (we are from Ontario). Lunenburg is quaint and so pretty. We walked into a coffee shop and they had locals playing music such a great East Coast thing! The local pub was fun! The water front is stunning. We were off season so didn’t get to do more than simple walks in Lunenburg itself but there are also a ton of great trails for hiking so that was great! Blue Rocks is a pretty drive. The fresh fish market is where we bought all our fish, we cooked up lobster, scallops, halibut etc. Thank you so much to the hosts Frank & Val!

Perfect cottage for R&R

What a perfect place for our rest and relaxation getaway! The cottage was beautiful, fresh and perfectly equipped -- furnishings, bedding, appliances and even nightlights throughout. The view of the cove and wildfowl was great inside and out. It was an easy drive into town, and we really enjoyed sightseeing and visiting excellent area restaurants. We stayed for a week in early September, with great weather, quieter roads and yet still good access to dining and attractions. Frank and Val kept us informed and were very pleasant to work with.

Wonderful cottage and location

We had a great time at the cottage. Our 2 year old grand daughter loved the s'mores by the fire. We brought along all we needed for Thanksgiving Dinner and the kitchen was so well equipped that we actually could have roasted our turkey there but we had that done at home. Frank and Val have thought of everything you might need for a great stay! Frank was very quick to respond to any requests we had and the instructions for use of the cottage were very clear. Would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend for a family get away.
