Ocean Surf Cottage at Summerville Beach
OCEAN SURF COTTAGE - REBOOT YOUR SOUL
A romantic seaside getaway with 360 feet of private ocean frontage, it enjoys an ideal vacation getaway location in the unspoiled community of Summerville Centre on the shore of Port Mouton Bay. To the south-east are the open Atlantic and Port Mouton Island. A few minutes walk to the west lies the mile-long sandy beach of Summerville Provincial Park and the delectable Quarterdeck Grill seafood restaurant. To the south, across the bay, historic lighthouses, fishing boats and more sandy beaches await. If you are looking for the sights and sounds of the ocean right at your door, without giving up 'the comforts of home' this premium destination is one of the best on the South Shore of Nova Scotia.
Within Walking Distance: Start your day on the deck overlooking the waves. It spans the full width of the house with 350 sq feet fully enclosed, insulated and heated for year round use. Facing south west, it gets lots of sun even in winter. Retractable electrically operated awnings together with the latest in mini-split air-conditioning technology keep the house cool and provide welcome shade during the hotter days of summer. After breakfast the sandy mile-long beach of Summerville Provincial Park is a six minute walk away. Here, aside from having a leisurely stroll on the sand, you may rent a kayak or surfboard then enjoy one of the 'Taste of Nova Scotia' featured restaurants - the popular Quarterdeck Grill. At the far end of the beach, the Broad River presents a hiking opportunity: it is crossed by a trestle bridge of the abandoned Halifax to Yarmouth railway, which is now maintained as a trail through rugged, forested countryside.
If you enjoy clambering over rocks, that is also a great way to explore the immediate shoreline on which the house is located.
A stay at Ocean Surf Cottage can include dining at White Point Beach Resort (5mins drive away) as the Resort's dining room and lounge are open to the public, and well worth a visit, no to mention their on-site therapeutic massage services.
Within a Fifteen Minute Drive: Head south down Hwy 103 through Port Mouton to one of Nova Scotia's finest beaches: Carter's Beach - a series of three crescent shaped beaches with offshore islands reminiscent of the Caribbean (minus the palm trees of course). If you like quiet and natural, this is it, though it has become a favorite stopover for sailboats and the occasional tall ship. Head east 5 minutes along the Lighthouse route and you'll find White Point Golf Club. Continue to the Town of Liverpool, one of the oldest towns in the Province. Noted for its colorful maritime history, it is a treasure trove of historic homes, many of which date back to when captains of industry and of the sea vied for the most impressive homes. One of them is now a fascinating museum of local history.
Within a Forty-five Minute Drive: To the south (a twenty-minute drive) is the wild rocky coastline and surrounding natural splendour of the Seaside Adjunct of Kejimkujik National Preserve and its seal colonies. A 'must sea'. In the opposite direction, the Town of Bridgewater sits on the LaHave River. There are wonderful scenic drives on both sides of the river down to the sea, from where you can follow the coast by road. Have lunch at the LaHave Bakery where they bake their own breads and pastries and continue on to the LaHave Islands, Crescent Beach and Petite Riviere. Just beyond Bridgewater are quaint Mahone Bay and Unesco World Heritage sight, Lunenburg. The latter is home to the Bluenose a beautiful tall ship in port for daily excursions.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Small Piece if Heaven in Nova Scotia
We had one of the most enjoyable vacations of all time. The location and fantastic accommodation really could not have been better. This property fully lives up to its claim. It is absolutely beautiful and incredibly peaceful. The accommodation was of a 5 star quality. This property is extremely well maintained and was a joy to stay at. Many many thanks!!! We look forward to renting this property again.

Perfect, private, waterfront getaway.
This cottage in Summerville Centre is pretty remarkable. If you are looking for a private getaway, in a truly unique setting, you'd be hard pressed to do better than this location. "On the water" is no exaggeration. At high tide, it's just a few feet away, gently lapping at the rocks, which line the shore. The deck, fire pit, grill, and overall landscaping just make for a beautiful surrounding. And you have zero visible neighbors, so it really does feel like you're all alone. There is a decent clam shack a mile up the road in one direction, and a fine seafood restaurant an easy walk in the other. And groceries 12 minutes away in Liverpool.
We only had two full days, sadly, so we weren't able to take advantage of the gorgeous beaches a short walk away, but we'll be sure to on our next visit, which we are already planning.
And the cottage itself is in great shape, and very comfortable. The kitchen has everything one needs.
Highly recommended!

Lovely Cottage
Was visiting my son not too far from this lovely cottage. Very well equipped. The views are stunning from every window. The bathroom was a little small but we managed. The restaurant down the road Quarterdeck Grill was quite good. Gorgeous Views!

Exquisite Jewel of a House in Nova Scotia
Jeff's lovely house is beautiful, very clean and comfortable. The views are stunning as is the quiet and calm of the property where this house is built on. The fire pit is a wonderful addition for gazing at stars outside as you hear the waves. Jeff is a wonderful host, and very helpful & kind...
A truly lovely & memorable stay....!
We will definitely return!!

Perfection!
This property is everything the posting describes and more!. The outdoor space is amazing:
we sipped our morning coffee on the deck watching comorants diving for their breakfast, enjoyed afternoons under the shade of the awnings, and spent evenings by the firepit listening to the surf. Inside the house is very spacious and comfortable, with a variety of well-appointed eating, social and relaxing areas. The beds were very comfortable, with quality linens and pillows. There were so many thoughtful touches - like pantry items, initial paper supplies, stacks of soft towels, plenty of firewood. The location is great - very private, easy walking distance to the gorgeous Summerville beach, and a mid-point for visits to Halifax, Digby and Yarmouth - as well as many lovely points along Nova Scotia's south shore. The owner Jeff was extremely easy to work with, and providing great information and prompt responses. Thank you - we could not have asked for a better place for our getaway!
