Great rustic location very roomy

The instruction for getting checked in are simple and clear. The cottage is roomy and clean. Everything you need to know is in the binder. If you misses something and have a question, Joe will answer it promptly. Very good communication between ourselves and our host. We felt very welcomed and he took interest in our stay and activities. Even provided us with a ride for our anniversary meal to an excellent restaurant (Periwinkle) that he had recommended. Such a kindness. The house is lovely and full of charm and caracter, 210 years of uneven creaky floors and all. It is very well maintained and decorated, well stocked with everything you should need. There is no shortage of things to do locally. The binder provides everything you need to know about the property and its surroudings and beyond. But the cottage is also an activity in itself, read about its history in a binder, browse through its books and games, the fire TV, so many windows to gaze out while having tea, comfy beds to read in, an awesome antique clawfoot bath for longs soaks, a fire pit to just relax and sit, all the while getting to know which board will creak and wich board will not. I adored that. We feel like we might have found a vacation place to return to again and again. Very much appreciated everything in our stay. We highly recommend it. Thank you for evrything. Sophie and Jim.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Shipbuilders Cottage; loved the character of the home, location was central to our planned adventures, and our host was lovely.

A two century old cottage! Very clean, quaint and well maintained. Host was very helpful and took good care of us as Hurricane Fiona went through the area. Would love to come and stay again in the summer.

The cottage was quaint and comfortable and ideally situated near the Bay of Fundy, St Martins, and various places to sightsee and hike.

The property is exactly like it is shown on the website. We loved it. Our only concern was the stairs and railing as we are a BIT older and falling is a concern. Joe is an excellent host. My concerns and questions were answered quickly and with concern. Would recommend the Shipbuilders Cottage.

West Quaco is a little off the beaten path, but absolutely worth the drive. We had a wonderful stay with ourselves and six guests, and made great use of the fire pit and barbeque while we stayed. The lighthouse and beach made for wonderful hikes, and the St Martin's sea caves (and seafood) were just a short drive away. The cottage itself was gorgeous, with all kinds of really cool historic features. It was also spotless, and the host provided everything you might need, plus everything you probably forgot (the bug spray was much appreciated!). I couldn't recommend this cottage more highly, and we can't wait to come back

The historic cottage is very well appointed and was an excellent place to visit the local area. The kitchen dining-room and family room area made for a wonderful meeting area with more space upstairs to socialize. Would stay here again

Three members of The Yarmouth Shantymen and our wives stayed at the Shipbuider's Cottage in West Quaco while appearing at the Fundy Sea Shanty Festival. the cottage was very suitable for our purposes - not too far from town and a nice drive, scenery-wise, to get there and back. Everything we needed was supplied and there were good instructions provided both beforehand and in the cottage. Our only concern was that only one key was provided for the front door - although we coped very well and it didn't turn out to be a problem. If there is a second Fundy Sea Shanty Festival - and we hope there will be, we'd love to stay at Shipbuilder's Cottage again. Thank you Joe.

This is a really charming cottage with a great story in a great location. Very spacious with lots of space for a family. The kids especially loved the loft. We liked having a choice of bedrooms. The grounds are really nice too. The owners left a welcome book with lots of helpful info to help understand the area. And what a great area it is! It’s just a short drive to the Sea Caves and the foot of the Bayof Fundy trail. Highly recommend a stay here - can’t say a negative thing! I wish we could have stayed longer!

Nice old house. Very quiet neighborhood.

The location is incredible! We will definitely be back!

This is such a cute and historic spot. It is centrally located to access Brown's Beach, the Caves, the Lighthouse, the Fundy Trail and so much more. Joe and Nick are fantastic property owners and were always around to help out if need be. The original hearth is so beautiful and the kitchen is well equipped! Our girls LOVED their open concept second floor. The property and grounds are beautiful with hammocks and wildflowers. And, it's just a short walk across the road to take in the beautiful Fundy view! It truly feels like you've stepped back in time while baking scones in the kitchen. We hope to be back and are missing it already. Old Homes Week in St Martins was a pleasant surprise and had so many activities in the town and even Go Kart racing on our hill! And if you can, take in Red Rock Adventures kayaking tours of the cave. Totally worth it and Joe and Nick own that too! Thanks so much guys for a wonderful vacation spot and for being such wonderful hosts. See you again soon, we hope.

Had a wonderful time in beautiful West Quaco/St Martins area. The house was as described and Joe was very responsive whenever we reached out, even offering a lobster pot for our dinner! Kitchen was well stocked and house had plenty of space. The history of the old house is included in the provided binder and is very fascinating. Bonus discount for kayaking the sea caves at the Red Rock Adventures in St Martins which we thoroughly enjoyed!

We all agreed this was a terrific place to head home to after cool and foggy days. And may return for a warm and sunny stay to use the hammocks.

We were 6 adults and we all loved the experience. Would go back again.

We had a great stay at the Shipbuilders cottage. The rustic old cottage was spacious and clean. The kitchen was well equipped to cook your own meals and there were many places along Main Street to eat out as well. Lots to see and do in the area. Hiking, beach combing and site seeing along the Bay of Fundy. Residents in the area and our hosts were all very friendly.

Gorgeous property and setting. Hosts and neighbors are extremely friendly. We immediately felt welcome and at-home. Looking forward to going back.

We had a wonderful stay at this historical cottage. The amenities were perfect for our family of 6., the kids had a fantastic time playing hide and seek and hanging out in the loft. The kitchen was very spacious to entertain our large family also staying in the area. The cottage was super clean and everything we needed to prepare meals was there:) Thank you so much, we will be back one day!

We had an awesome time. Cottage was very spacious, quiet, clean and comfortable.

Great location and owners are onsite and very friendly, very much look forward to returning

The communication with owners was top notch, very accommodating. The distance into St Martin's was just a short drive for sightseeing. The grounds of the property were endless for our grandkids to explore. The history and ambiance of this historic Sea Captains home is amazing! You know your in a wonderful community when the home across the street brought us fresh eggs from their chickens and invited our grandkids to come see them and the roosters, which we did and they loved it. Thank you Nick and Joe

Came for a bachelorette, best location ever and amazing host. House was beautiful can’t wait to go back!

Every room is charming with interesting decor and beautiful rose bushes around the yard.

Felt right at home. Nice vase of flowers to welcome us. All the amenities of home.

I wanted to spend my birthday weekend enjoying family fun and exploring some beautiful NB sights and this cottage was the perfect location to do so. We had a great time.

Our stay was absolutely amazing, great soace, quiet, s0-cious lots to do in the are! It was our firdt time im st martins and we will def be back :)

Thanks to Nick and Joe for sharing this wonderful piece of history. Felt like we went back in tune to a simpler life. The shipbuilders cottage was very well equipped, spacious for a larger group. Would recommend this for a family get away.

The cottage was spacious with tons of charm. The gardens were in full bloom and very fragrant. It was such a lovely retreat! Room for the whole family and friends!

great spot

We had 5 adults, and this property suited us comfortably. It has a great living room/dining/kitchen area for hanging out, everyone had a bed and the manager was accommodating. We would rent again.

Second time to The Old Ship Builders Cottage, we love this old building! Beautiful part of NB, St Martins is quaint and has some beautiful old homes and Inns. The views are beautiful and The Fundy Trail never disappoints. Thanks for sharing your old Cottage and your welcoming little town with us
