Ragged Island Cottage | Classic Nova Scotia Summer Home On A White Sand Beach

3 Bedroom Cottage in Ragged Island, Sable River

Sea Mist is a traditional farm / fisherman’s house on a kilometre long natural sandy beach. It is a century old home located in the small seaside hamlet of Little Harbour, with nearly 500’ of sheltered waterfront on nearly eight private acres. It is a lovely retreat, that hugs you with calm when you walk through the door. Cozy, sunny, casual, with a bright kitchen, it makes a perfect vacation home for a family with children, or a couple.
The house has everything you need in a vacation cottage. Approximately 1900 square feet, but the flow makes it feel more spacious. The kitchen is fully equipped with a fridge, stove, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, kettle and other small appliances. Meals can be enjoyed outside on the deck, in a dining area off the kitchen, or at a table in the year-round sunroom.
All three bedrooms are upstairs. The master bedroom has a queen size bed. A second room also has a queen bed, while the third bedroom has a twin bed and a set of bunk beds. All bedrooms have dressers and closets. Linens are provided. There is a 4 piece bathroom on the upper level, and a 3 piece bathroom with a shower on the main floor. There is a stacking washer and dryer on the main floor as well.
A large deck allows you to enjoy a fabulous unobstructed view of Little Harbour and the Atlantic ocean beyond. Enjoy your morning coffee watching the sunrise over the harbour. While away an afternoon watching boats arriving at the lobster pound to unload their catch, listening to the surf or watching birds overhead. Stroll over to the pound and buy some lobsters for dinner (in season).
The meadow offers lots of room to play amongst the apple trees, wild roses, lupins and other wildflowers. This is a rural property with a variety of wildlife around the area (fox, deer, rabbits, etc.). The sheltered sandy harbour is good for swimming and wading, and offers warmer water than one might expect from the north Atlantic……. at least by Nova Scotia’s standards. (But keep in mind, this is the north Atlantic!).
The south shore is a particularly fabulous location for birdwatchers. At the end of our road is Hemeon’s Head Conservation Lands. “This site is part of an internationally designated Important Bird Area, recognized for its significance for nesting, breeding and migratory birds. It provides critical habitat for several rare and endangered species, including Harlequin ducks, Red knots and Piping plovers. With so few plover nesting sites left in Nova Scotia, their habitat at at Hemeon’s Head is essential to survival of the species.”
National Geographic has identified the South Shore of Nova Scotia as the 8th best coastal destination in the world. The area is excellent for outdoor recreational activities including sailing, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, hiking, trail walking and cycling, as well as coastal exploring and sightseeing. We are also well situated for day trips to many other beautiful beaches and villages all along the South Shore. It is less than a 15 minute drive to the quaint village of Lockeport and about a half hour (+/-) to Liverpool and Shelburne.
Sea Mist would be a great spot for a honeymoon for a couple but it is not available for weddings, events or reunions.

Summary: My family enjoyed this spacious home. Unfortunately the mosquitoes were bad on the property (nobody’s fault, of course) so outside activity was limited. Many wonderful beach are within short driving distance. I’ve always loved the South Shore of Nova Scotia.

Summary: Sea Mist House is the perfect place to go for a relaxing, quiet coastal experience. Although it's part of the Little Harbour community it's completely private and peaceful. The house is very comfortable and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need, and more! There's rarely anyone on the lovely sand beach, except for a variety of shore birds and sometimes seals in the harbour. More spectacular beaches are within easy driving distance and the whole area is perfect for kayaking. Buy lobsters from the Little Harbour wharf and cook them in seawater--delicious! This is the best of Nova Scotia...highly recommended. Oh--and Pam the owner answered all our questions promptly and was extremely obliging. Thank you Pam!

Summary: Three generations of family stayed here for one week and had a marvellous time. The comfortable old house was full of character and the sea breeze kept it perfectly cool, even during a heat wave. The owner responded quickly to questions and was very kind, compensating us for a brief delay in the readiness when we arrived, and mailing a forgotten item. Though we found the water too cold for swimming, the beach was wonderful for sand play and walking. The field of wild flowers in front of the cottage was alive with bird song, deer and rabbits. It was a natural paradise. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen had food staples and lots of cooking pots, etc. Our favourite feature was the glassed-in, wrap-around porch, full of sunlight and fresh breezes, good reading corners and piles of games. This is a special place.

Summary: We just stayed a week at this property. We had a great time there. The beach is short walk away and was pretty much private to us, we saw a couple of residents walking their friendly dogs once or twice other than that it was our family and the beach! The home is stocked with towels, bedsheets etc., there are washer, dryer, dishwasher etc., everything in working order and well maintained. The only recommendation for future would be to have screen doors installed that would leave mosquitoes and other bugs out when loading or unloading the car or just spending time on the deck. Even with that it was a perfect place for me and my family, we had a great time, outdoors as well as playing board games, kids enjoyed making use of art supplies etc. The owner of this property is extremely helpful, she went above and beyond to help us, not only did she answer 100s of questions I had prior to and during my stay, but she also went out of her way to get us breakfast items knowing that we are traveling with young kids and will be arriving late night. I have had never experienced this before and can’t thank her enough. If we ever plan to visit south shore/Shelburne area, we will definitely stay at Sea Mist again.

Summary: Friendly and gracious owners. Enjoyed a wonderful week of peace and tranquility watching the mist come off the harbor and waking to the ocean view outside our window. Loved our stay and especially enjoyed star gazing at the dark night sky.
