About this property

Rock Haven Cottage, on the ocean!

  • Rock Haven Cottage faces the Atlantic Ocean near the entrance to McGraths Cove boasting it’s own private wharf & floating dock to swim & kayak from.

    Like to stay on land? No problem! We have 2 double hammocks overlooking the ocean along with comfortable patio furniture, a picnic table, lawn games & 2 sun loungers great for an oceanside nap. Rock Haven Cottage also has a 24 x 8 covered deck that’s great for taking in a beautiful sunrise or enjoying your favourite drink! Just imagine - looking over the Atlantic Ocean and granite coastline on your private deck while sipping your morning coffee - trust us, it’s as relaxing as it sounds.

    The cottage is fully equipped for long-term stays with a fully functioning kitchen. You’ll find a 2 burner propane cooktop, large retro style fridge & freezer, toaster oven, Keurig, and all cooking utensils, pots, pans, and accessories you could ever need during your vacation by the sea. Like to cook outside? We have a brand new BBQ with a side burner. For ease of use, the BBQ is fed propane directly from the cottage’s propane tanks, also ensuring that you’ll never run out while your grilling out!

    Rock Haven Cottage has a full bathroom with a spacious walk-in glass shower and large vanity. Enjoy a relaxing night's sleep in either of the 2 queen beds which are found in either bedroom or if you are a party of 5-6 the sofa in the living room can be converted into an expansive king bed.

    For your enjoyment we have an 11-foot Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) and 2 kayaks available for your use. Relax and take in the sunshine oceanside in the comfortable loungers on the private wharf deck, a great spot to read a book or have a drink!

    Notes:

    *at low tide the water is quite shallow, we highly recommend that you never dive off the floating dock at low tide. Adult Life Jackets are available.

    *Our family worked very hard to build and design this cottage, we kindly ask that you respect the cottage, property, and its contents so we can keep the cottage in a very clean & functioning order. Please leave all of the cottage’s interior contents inside, do not put cottage items in the ocean. We also ask guests to keep the cottage as clean as possible during their stay. Thank you!
