Orchard Point

Description from the manager

It is with great pleasure that I add this cottage to our vacation rentals. Over the past four years we have watched with anticipation as this 19th Century sea captain’s haven has been lovingly renovated and restored by an artist and historic preservationist, husband and wife team.

By combining modern touches and conveniences with traditional features this dedicated couple has managed to breathe new life into this historic oceanfront vacation rental home.

The design tastefully blends old and new architectural elements, art and furnishings to create an environment rich in character, charm, texture, and comfort. The palate... of the home is a simple harmony of warm wood tones and crisp whitewashed plaster with calming ocean touches throughout. The ground floor has a living room, dining room, custom soapstone and wood kitchen with breakfast dinette, a laundry, and full bath with stone and tile walk-in shower. The upper level has a full bath with claw foot soaking tub and two bedrooms to sleep four to six guests. There is a queen size bed in the master bedroom and a double bed in guest room.Read more

Additional Location Information

Orchard Point Cottage is located on a bold Atlantic headland just six miles East of the historic port town of Shelburne on Nova Scotia’s scenic South Shore. Close enough to town for shopping, restaurants, and visits to the museums, theater and festival venues; the cottage is far enough away to guarantee seclusion.

Standing atop a long shoreward meadow, Orchard Point Cottage offers dramatic ocean vistas and wildlife viewings from every window – the welcoming sparkle of pristine Jordan Bay to the north and east, the thrill of open Atlantic surf to the south, and a South Shore picture-postcard cove to the west. This awe-inspiring setting was celebrated by writer, poet and naturalist Howard T. Walden’s beautifully written "Anchorage Northeast: The story of one man’s quest for the unspoiled bounties of nature and their discovery on a stretch of Nova Scotian Coast."
