Modern Seaside Living— a private, self-contained suite nestled on scenic Net Point. A private deck with barbeque offers ocean views and casual crate to plate seaside dining inspired by you. The Net Point hiking trail hugs the Cliffside. Pettes Cove beach is a stone’s throw away and is a great place to launch a kayak. This suite is minutes from the ferry, so some guests prefer to cycle or walk on the ferry. Facing due east guests will enjoy spectacular sunrises. Star filled skies and full tide moons are breathtaking. You can do as much or little as you like. Activities include: Whale Watching, Puffin watching [seasonal], hiking, kayaking, cycling, farmers market and community events, our museum and guest lecture series, art gallery and shops, the North Head Bakery, beach combing, photography and plein air painting, lobster and fresh seafood menus, impromptu concerts, deep sea diving, fishing, and best of all...ocean inspired rest and relaxation. You are guests of our home. We are happy to share our bikes, outdoor spaces, bonfires on the beach below, and garden goodies. We are often home during the summer season, but honour our guests privacy and solitude. We are here to answer questions, point you in the right direction, and share special events and happenings…and yes a glass of wine or two if you'd like. We live on a secluded point of land hugged by the ocean. Our home and cottage are beautifully appointed, private and quiet. The ferry, a few restaurants, the local cafe and some activity departures are a walk away. There is no public transit. Guests park on our property. The closest US airport is Bangor, Maine. In Canada it's Saint John, NB airport. You can rent a car, or take a taxi to the ferry. We do have private air charters to Grand Manan with Atlantic Air Charters and they can pick-up in most major US airports, Bar Harbour and Canadian cities.
