Whitecaps Summit is a sister cottage of Whitecaps Retreat (Property #1071521vb) and Whitecaps Cabana (Property# 2447853). The three cottages share access to the private sandy beach on the west and access to Creaser's cove (pebble shoreline) on the East. Whitecaps Summit is located on the top of the Kraut Point peninsula, near Riverport, Nova Scotia. From its high perch, take in the 180-degree panoramic ocean view, from the LaHave Islands, up the LaHave River and all the way over to Creaser's cove. It is located 350 ft from each of its sister cottages, Whitecaps Retreat (VRBO ID - 1071521) and Whitecaps Cabana (VRBO ID - 2447853) - far enough to have privacy, but close enough for three groups wanting to rent 3 cottages. Perfect for extended families, Whitecaps Summit has three master bedrooms with king-size beds, and one bunk room with four single beds. Two of the master bedrooms have an ensuite bathroom, and the third shares a bathroom with the bunk room. The cottage has a modern design, with an open kitchen, dining and living room, from which you can take in the expansive view. The kitchen is complete with all the modern amenities you would expect, and the dining table has space for 10. Through the large french doors off the kitchen, you enter the screened-in porch with comfortable patio furniture and table for dining alfresco. Off the second story is a sundeck with a breathtaking 180-degree view. This deck offers spectacular stargazing. Wrap up in a fleece blanket from the basket on the second floor landing and count the shooting stars. This region of Nova Scotia is known for its warm waters where the LaHave River meets the Atlantic Ocean. During low tide, play on the private beach, 600 feet south of the beach stairs . A warm beach with shallow sand bars is a rare experience on the East Coast. The beach and stairs are shared with Whitecaps' sister cottages, Whitecaps Retreat (Property #1071521vb) and Whitecaps Cabana (Property # 2447853vb) You will find beach chairs, boogie boards and a lobster boiler in Summit's shed.
