THE COTTAGE EXPERIENCE
Shipyard Cottage offers the best of both worlds: a cozy, comfortable home with everything you need, paired with the kind of natural setting most visitors only dream about. Gather around the dining table, or curl up in the comfy living room chairs.
The covered deck, furnished for comfort, is a cozy outdoor living room where salt air drifts in, songbirds add their sweet soundtrack, and wildlife often makes surprise appearances against the backdrop of sweeping Fundy ocean views. It’s the perfect spot to gather for a family barbecue and savour moments that become cherished lifelong memories.
BEDROOMS & LAYOUT
The main floor includes a bright and open living space, a well-equipped kitchen, and dining area overlooking the ocean. Three restful bedrooms and two bathrooms make it easy for families or friends to spread out in comfort. The jetted tub in the upstairs bath adds a touch of luxury, while modern furnishings and fresh linens create a warm, welcoming home.
OUTDOORS & SURROUNDINGS
Step outside and you’re immediately in the heart of Fundy’s beauty. Launch the kayaks, beach-comb for shells and driftwood, or walk on the ocean floor when the tide recedes. Discover a natural flowerpot rock formation just along the shore, the same kind made famous at Hopewell Cape, but found right here outside your door.
A short drive takes you to the iconic St. Martins Sea Caves, the entrance to the world-famous Fundy Trail Parkway, and local restaurants serving fresh seafood straight off the boats.
RAINY DAY COMFORTS
Inside, you’ll find both cable and Smart TV (with access to your streaming accounts), plus a family games cabinet and DVD library, perfect for cozy downtime. These thoughtful touches make stormy Fundy evenings just as memorable as sunny days on the beach.
A PLACE WITH A STORY
In the 1800s, this very property was the site of the Capt. John Marr and T.H. Bradshaw shipyards, where wooden sailing vessels were built and launched. Sharp-eyed explorers can still find old ship spikes or remnants of the age of sail, reminders that this serene retreat once rang with the sound of shipbuilders’ hammers.
WHY GUESTS LOVE IT
Guests call the views unforgettable, the setting peaceful, and the private beach unmatched; the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.

Summary: The location and proximity to the water is absolutely unbeatable! The back porch overlooking the Bay of Fundy was idyllic! The kitchen was well-appointed and had everything we needed for meal prep and cooking. The size and seating of the kitchen table was great — perfect for our family of 6. Another favourite spot for meals was the bistro table on the back porch. Lots of options. The overall cleanliness was very good. The beds were comfortable; variety of pillow firmnesses to choose from was a nice amenity. Provision of shampoo and soap was great as well. While the quality of the furniture in the living room was excellent, it did not accommodate our family of 6 (there was only seating for 3). The foam cushions on the hearth were not really a great substitute for living room sitting. An L-Shaped couch that can seat more people would be a great improvement to consider as well as some throw blankets and cushions. Overall, a really lovely property!

Summary: Beautiful house with spectacular view. The perfect place for a vacation in this area. The lawn leads down to the beach where you can skip rocks and watch the tide go in and out on the bay. Kayaks are available for fun on the water. Games are available for fun in the house. The house is beautifully decorated and contains everything you will need. Questions to the owner were answered quickly. As my daughter in law said, "The Perfect House!"

Summary: A fantastic week on the Bay of Fundy - the accommodations and nearby town of St. Martin's were perfect. The whole group (3 generations) had a great time. If we lived closer, we would be back every year...

Summary: Fabulous views of the tide coming in and out. Very clean and cozy. This home has everything you would need. The owners thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and memorable. Baby deer walking through the yard daily and even a bald eagle came and landed on the trees a few days. The topper is the gorgeous sunrise over the water and in the evening watching the fog come in of you’re lucky. A fantastic place. Will be back.

Summary: This is a beautiful cozy cottage! We learned to love St Martins and enjoyed the pictures and history books about St Martins very much. The kayaks were perfect for this water loving family and we kayaked and rode the waves near shore at high tide and splashed at low tide. Lovely place to do rock collecting. We collected driftwood at low tide for our campfire on the beach. Kitchen is elaborately stocked with almost any item you would need. We soaked in the quiet mornings, with the sound of the waves rolling in at low tide and the nearby lighthouse foghorn. The nearby general store stocks about anything you would need!

Summary: What a great place to stay on the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick! There's really nothing more I can think of that we would have wanted. Well appointed kitchen, two full bathrooms, a closet filled with family games, excellent wifi (we needed to do some work while away), streaming, and a fun collection of DVDs. Very clean, and plenty of space for our family of four to both be together and have our own space. Loved the expansive views of the bay! AC was on when we arrived but we were able to open the windows and turn it off for most of the visit. The porch facing the bay extends the length of the house. Plenty of seating and a really nice propane grill. Expansive lawn extends down to the tidal estuary (? - I think that's what it would be called) with access to the bay. Safe and easy paddling as the tide comes up and down. And oh those tides! We took some amazing hikes at low tide - stunning rock formations not too far from the house, accessible at low tide. St. Martins sea caves are really wonderful. Great views also from the nearby lighthouse trail. Cell phone coverage (roaming for us) was strong. The town of St. Martins was super charming with some great seafood, ice cream and a great little sundries store for limited supplies. Valerie was very communicative as needed, but also allowed us to just be; she was available through the VRBO app (and by phone/text) if we needed her. So glad we stayed here and would recommend to anyone heading to the area!

Summary: Cottage was everything described, very clean, all the amenities and if needed the host were easy to get a hold of. My son and us went out to the beach almost every day at low tide, only 45 min to St John, St. Martin a couple minutes away, couldn't of asked for a better spot. First time through VRBO, will definitely do it again, very pleasant experience
