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 washing machine & dryer are also located in the kitchen. A clothes drying rack for outdoor use (for swimming 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. We do allow non-shedding dogs under 20 lbs or some other dogs by special request only. Note that there is a pet fee for all dogs. 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.
Located in Heckmans Island, this cottage is in the city centre and on the waterfront. The area's natural beauty can be seen at Rous Brook Heritage Garden and Eastern Points Island, while Knaut Rhuland House Museum and Lunenburg Opera House are cultural highlights.

Great location! Beautiful view! Far enough away to be peaceful and quiet but close enough to see the sites. Didn’t want to leave. Would definitely stay here again if back in the Lunenburg area.
The cottage on the Cove was wonderful! Clean, very well equipped and the view is amazing! Loved our 10 day stay and will be back next year.

We really enjoyed our stay. The views are gorgeous and the location is quiet and peaceful. The cottage has everything you could need. We particularly enjoyed the use of the kayaks provided.
We loved every moment of our stay at the cottage! It is located perfectly- close to town but secluded enough that you feel you’re in your own little cove. Sitting outside you can enjoy pure silence, which is hard to come by these days. The provided s’mores package was a hit! We also enjoyed using the kayaks and exploring the area on the water. Despite being chilly out, we were still able to take advantage of all the outdoor amenities. Since we came at the start of the off season, many shops and restaurants in town were closed for the season, but that made town a lot less busy, which we enjoyed! The price of the cottage was very reasonable. We do plan on coming back in swimming season!

The cottage was clean, well maintained, and very comfortable for the three of us. Beautiful and peaceful location.
Great property very well maintained. We were there only two nights but very relaxing and comfortable stay. Hosts were great. Everything about it is top notch. Would definitely book again
We had a lovely peaceful time at your accommodations. The view was amazing.
We had a nice evening campfire and the goodies you left came in handy. Thank you
This was the perfect place to come with family. We loved how clean the property was. They thought of everything like propane and firewood. Lots of towels. Everything you need to cook. We forgot coffee but thankfully it was stocked there too. Having ice in the fridge was a major plus, since we forgot that too! The water was beautiful, everything was perfect!
Nice quiet spot on the water, yet close to amenities in Lunenburg. The cottage was clean, roomy, and super well equipped with everything needed for a relaxing stay. Hosts communication was great and we really enjoyed our time there!
Frank and Val were amazing hosts - they've thought of everything. Lots of dishes/cutlery so you can have meals in to save a little money; lots of comfy seating, both inside and out on the beautiful deck; cozy blankets for cool mornings, comfortable beds... all in all, a wonderful place to stay.

This property was beautiful and tranquil. Quiet Bay Area and has everything you would need for a relaxing getaway. Highly recommend!!
Val and Frank's place was lovely. Very cozy and well maintained on the water. They were next door and were so kind and helpful when we needed to borrow a tool for the bike. Great stay!
Idyllic location and the cottage was exactly what we were looking for (woke up the first morning to an amazing view of the ocean and deer outside the window)! Clean and comfortable with so many great amenities. The hosts were fantastic with communication and we had such an amazing time there. A short but scenic drive to Lunenburg to be able to explore the harbour and see the Bluenose II, and try some great restaurants which was amazing.
This property had everything we needed. We loved the closeness to the water and the big kitchen. The heat pump kept the cottage cool. Great stay and we would stay again.
