Beautiful Peaceful Retreat

Wonderful treasure in St. Martin's. Close to the action but tucked away so out of the mainstream. Walking into the house felt like coming 'home'. Well maintained, well stocked - we did not want for anything. Property owner responded quickly to any questions.

Lovely house in a peaceful location

This was a lovely, spacious house situated in easy reach of the Fundy Trail and within walking distance to all St Martins amenities. The house was beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable with several outside seating areas and a view of the sea. This all made for a very relaxing stay.

Spectacular cottage by Bay of Fundy

If we could add a plus sign to all of our 5-star ratings of this wonderful place, we would. Perfect location, comfortable, extremely well equipped house in a beautiful, peaceful setting. Perfect place in which to base ourselves for spectacular drives up along the coastline. Would love to come back! The hosts were super gracious!

A top VRBO

This is one of the best VRBOs we have ever stayed in. Spacious grounds (kids would love the gazebo, flower garden, open lawn, big trees), and the house is top notch, equipped with everything you might need (condiments galore, bubble wands and kites(!) for kids, candy jars, and on and on). Great mud room, spacious porch, bedroom balcony. 20 out of 10!

Painted Rock cottage

This host goes above and beyond to ensure their welcome to guests and comfort while there. Wonderful view, cute and quirky painted rocks hiding all around the house and yard, extremely well equipped kitchen with loads of extras ( thanks for the potatoes!😋). One of the best VRBO I have stayed in. Laurie was excellent at communicating with us too. Lovely place that I would highly recommend! Thanks again Laurie

Cosy home, great for a family vacation.

Lovely house, the photos don't do it justice. It is well lived in and loved with lots of personal touches. All the amenities are there and thought of. Very clean. We appreciated having the main floor bedroom for our elderly parents so they didn't have to climb the stairs. The sound system for the TV is loud enough for my family to keep me up at night watching Spiderman 3. Lots of nature and wildlife around. We regretted not taking the binoculars with us to the Sea Caves and not being able to take advantage of the grills, firepit and gazebo as it was rainy both days. Overall very quaint and cozy stay. We would definitely come back!

Beautiful view, lovely cottage!

This rental is even better than the pictures show. The house is beautifully decorated and there are views of the Bay of Fundy from the living and dining areas, as well as the master bedroom. The kitchen is very well equipped for preparing meals. The cottage is up a gravel road, off Main Street, so it's very quiet and private, yet close enough so you can walk to the grocery store, bakery and restaurants. We'd love to come here again!

Grab a bag of clothes and go!

This was the perfect cottage (it is completely wheelchair accessible!)with a ramp ouse) for a weekend but I wish we were had booked it for a week. It is on a beautiful piece of secluded property in the heart of St.Martins. All you need to bring are your clothes....everything else is provided, and I mean everything. Very clean, spacious, and comfortable! Do not second guess yourself....if it is available on the dates you are traveling BOOK it! If I could give 10 stars I would! Thanks Laurie! It was better then perfect and we will be back to stay again! Doug, Janie, Brianna, JD, Jody, Tyler, and Debbie (Feb 2022)

Perfect Getaway

The arrival process was very smooth. The first Impression perfect. Everything was well prepared. The towels, the little soapbars. It really was a great joy. The view : priceless. Having a coffee on the balcony in the morning: a great start into the day overlooking the ocean. Thank you Laurie to let us stay there!!!
