Across from the new Quarter Deck restaurant. 10 mins to historic Liverpool, 10 mins from famous Carters Beach, Keji Park, and 1.5 hours to Halifax. Trails, bikes and kayaking available. Get ready to step back in time! This rustic seaside cottage has been in our family since the 1920s and is one of the few ORIGINAL beach cottages of Summerville Beach. There are minimal upgrades and we love it that way! You will see original pictures of our family and local memorabilia. It still maintains much of the original charm. If you want upgrades and cookie cutter fake wood floors, fancy lighting and chrome bathroom fixtures - this is NOT the experience for you. This is a genuine step back in time. You can choose to cook inside with a fully equipped kitchen, BBQ on the back deck or go out to one of the many great local restaurants. The beach is right in front and there are great walking/biking trails behind the cottage. This cottage is indisputably the very best view, access to the beach and the Quarterdeck combined in the immediate area. When you stay here you are staying for that reason. If you want a TV, you'll have to go to the Quarterdeck :) *There is absolutely no partying or guests allowed. We live close by and the neighbors are very aware of the comings and goings of this location, with that said we are very friendly and accommodating. This seaside retreat is perfect for a quiet couple or single person. We do not do this for a business, we do not own several locations. We genuinely like people and sharing this lovely cottage with others who will respect and enjoy this perfectly located vacation opportunity. **To be considered to stay here you must have at least one year of Airbnb history and 2 positive feedback reviews.
