About this property

Ocean View • Hot Tub • Pet-Friendly Coastal Retreat

Welcome to your coastal escape overlooking the breathtaking Bay of Fundy.

Our newly renovated cottage is tucked into a peaceful setting just minutes from Parrsboro, with sweeping panoramic views of Two Islands, Five Islands, Partridge Island, Cape Split and Cape Sharpe. From sunrise to sunset, the scenery here is truly something special — and watching the world-famous Fundy tides change right in front of you never gets old.

The cottage is designed for guests who want to relax, reconnect and enjoy everything this beautiful part of Nova Scotia has to offer.

Step outside onto the spacious deck, settle in with your morning coffee, enjoy an evening drink, or simply sit back and take in the views. Whether you're here for a romantic getaway, a family adventure, a golf weekend, ATV trip or a quiet escape in nature, this is a wonderful home base.

Inside, the cottage has an open-concept, cozy coastal feel.

The loft sleeping area includes a comfortable queen bed and a single bed. On the main level, additional sleeping options make the cottage flexible for families and groups. The cottage comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests, with additional sleeping space available when needed.

The open-concept kitchen and living area make it easy to spend time together, and the kitchen is equipped with the essentials you'll need to prepare meals during your stay.

We are also pet friendly, so your four-legged family members can join you on your coastal getaway.

Our location is perfect for exploring the area:

• Approximately 2 minutes to Parrsboro Golf Club
• Approximately 5 minutes to Ship's Company Theatre
• Approximately 5 minutes to the Fundy Geological Museum
• Approximately 7 minutes to the historic Ottawa House
• Approximately 35 minutes to Five Islands Provincial Park
• Approximately 40 minutes to Cape d'Or
• Approximately 50 minutes to Cape Chignecto Provincial Park

ATV riders will also appreciate being close to local trail access, while hikers and adventure seekers will find plenty of beautiful trails, beaches, geological sites and scenic drives nearby.

For guests looking for something a little slower, this is also the perfect place to do absolutely nothing — relax, enjoy the deck, soak in the coastal air and watch the tides roll in and out.

One-night stays may be available by request depending on the dates.

We look forward to welcoming you to our little piece of the Bay of Fundy.

The immaculately kept and fully detailed cabin, sits on top of a hill with an incredible view! If you during the day is truly eight islands. The view at night is a stunning star field. My wife and I went here to celebrate our wedding and have our honeymoon. And the cottage was perfect for this moment in our lives we hope to return again next year, the online listing for the cottage is accurate. The cottages very well kept and equipped with essentials, luxuries, and even a nice telescope to watch the stars. Highly recommended!

Beautiful location. Comfortable home

Chelsi was very helpful. Full of information and responded to all my questions. The place was exactly as pictured. Clean. Roomy. Comfortable. Amazing views. Perfect location to get to anywhere we needed. Hot tub was a great bonus. The kitchen is well equipped and beautiful. She provides all the blankets, towels and pillows you will ever need

Our stay at 8 Island View Cottage was perfect. Chelsi was responsive and helpful throughout every step of our booking and stay. She answered our questions and gave recommendations of things to do. The cottage is great and was very clean. The large hottub was so helpful in loosening our aches and pains after a day of scouring the beeches. The views are breathtaking and unmatched by any place we have stayed. The ability to blend relaxation with outdoor activities made our stay very memorable. Parrsboro is a great small town. Most of your necessities can be covered by the stores in town plus there are some other nice shops focusing on original creative works and antiques. Make sure to get to Partridge Island. We had so much fun beachcombing there. Our pretty rock collection has blossomed.

The property is fine but needs some serious updating. The furniture (couches) were not appealing and were very worn looking. Cleanliness needs to be improved. Only for two people.

Loved it

We stayed 5 days in Sept. Loved the area, lots to do. Highlights Amazing tides, harbour, Ottawa House run by volunteers and Partidge Island, Cape d’Or, golf, exploring, Amore pizza, nearby beaches (car) We were there to relax - Loved the deck, view just like the photo - private and quiet during the week, some neighbours came on the weekend. Coop grocery in town handy. Loft bedroom fine, bed comfortable, great to have washer/dryer. Ceiling fans. Was cool at night when we were there, but no need for woodstove.

Great spot, beautiful views and really sweet cottage that had everything we needed.

Close to town, nice and clean and overall great cottage to get away to! Owner was super easy to deal with and really has a place to be proud of. Definitely worth the money and she hasn't missed anything. The only thing I wish I had was a fluffy housecoat to relax in on the wonderful deck overlooking the water. Will definitely book again! Loved the loft for sleeping and had enough sleeping room for my 2 kids on main floor.

Beautiful

We loved staying at Chelsi's cottage and it had everything we needed for our stay. The view of the Bay of Fundy was stunning and we had fun watching the tides go in and out. We had hoped to do some exploring of the area but our time was cut short due to another commitment. Chelsi was easy to communicate with. We did have a bit of trouble finding it due to our GOS but we're eventually able to get to it. I would totally recommend staying here if you are exploring this specific area of Nova Scotia!

About the host

Hosted by Chelsi Cormier

Hi, I’m Chelsi!

I grew up in Diligent River and Parrsboro, Nova Scotia, so this beautiful part of the Bay of Fundy will always feel like home to me. I’m a Registered Nurse, my husband serves with the Canadian Armed Forces, and our family now lives in New Brunswick.

8 Island View Cottage is our little piece of paradise, and we absolutely love being able to share it with others.

The name 8 Island View Cottage was inspired by the incredible panoramic view from the property. From the cottage, you can look out toward Two Islands, Five Islands and Partridge Island, with Cape Split and Cape Sharpe creating an unforgettable backdrop across the water.

One of the most magical things about staying here is how the view changes throughout the entire day.

Early risers can catch beautiful sunrises over the water, while evenings bring incredible sunsets behind the cottage and toward Partridge Island — often filling the sky with shades of pink, purple, blue and gold.

Add in the dramatic Bay of Fundy tides, peaceful surroundings and sounds of nature, and it’s the kind of place that encourages you to slow down and simply enjoy where you are.

Having grown up in this area, I’m also always happy to share our favourite beaches, trails, restaurants, local businesses and hidden gems to help you experience Parrsboro like a local.

We hope you fall in love with this special little corner of Nova Scotia just as much as we have.

Welcome to 8 Island View Cottage. ❤️

Why they chose this property

Our cottage is tucked away in a peaceful cottage-country neighbourhood on a private dirt road with very little daily traffic. It’s the kind of place where families can slow down, enjoy the fresh air, and make the most of the outdoor space.

Kids can play in the spacious yard, bring their bikes and enjoy riding along the quiet dirt road while taking in the beautiful ocean views.

Dogs love it here too! Well-behaved dogs with reliable recall can enjoy some off-leash time on the property, stretch out on the deck in the sunshine, and relax right alongside the rest of the family.

It’s a laid-back, peaceful setting where kids can be kids, dogs can enjoy the outdoors, and everyone can settle into cottage life.

What makes this property unique

What makes our cottage so unique is the peaceful setting and the freedom to truly enjoy cottage life. Tucked away in a quiet cottage-country neighbourhood on a private dirt road with very little daily traffic, it feels relaxed, private, and away from the everyday rush.

Kids can play in the yard, bring their bikes, and enjoy the dirt road while surrounded by beautiful ocean views. Well-behaved dogs with reliable recall can enjoy the property too—whether exploring outdoors or stretching out on the deck to soak up the sun.

It’s a place where mornings are slow, kids can play, dogs can relax, and everyone can simply enjoy being together by the Bay of Fundy.
