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

Historic outrage with great ambiance.
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

Great time in a lovely old house
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.

Charming cottage in great location
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!

Perfect Seaside Spot
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.

Historic house in West Quaco
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!

Charming and cozy
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.
