Quaco Cottages - The William Carson

Situated on the 200+ year property of the Shipbuilder’s Cottage & Summer Kitchen, this one-bedroom unit has a covered porch overlooking a spacious treed lawn, lily pond, gazebo and hammocks. With the Bay of Fundy within view, the highest tides in the world can be heard caressing the shoreline and, when foggy, the Quaco Head lighthouse fog horn echoes it’s warning to fishing boats in the bay. Cozy and comfortable, peaceful and quiet, it's a perfect place to relax after a day exploring the beauty of the area.

This property was definitely what we needed to end our vacation in New Brunswick. It was so quiet and relaxing, the perfect spot to get away from the busy city of Halifax. Not very far from St. Martins Caves and the Fundy National Park, also close to Brown's Beach which is an amazing beach hidden away. The hosts were amazing and quick to respond to any issues during our stay. We will return in the future with no hesitation.
