About this property

Whitecaps Cabana - Romantic Getaway for Couples

Whitecaps Cabana is a sister cottage to Whitecaps Summit (property ID 1918433) and Retreat (property ID 1071521), located just far enough for privacy, but close enough if your group is renting more than one cottage.

Whitecaps Cabana is a tiny cottage with big personality. Inspired by traditional fishing stages, the Cabana has been specially designed to create a relaxing and romantic getaway for couples. Its 380 sq ft interior features a king-sized bed, full kitchen, and full bath. It also has an additional outdoor shower for two. The cabana has two french doors that open onto a 300 sq ft deck that looks out over Creaser's Cove in Riverport, at the mouth of the LaHave River. Half of this deck is covered and screened in, allowing you to leave the French doors open and feel the gentle breeze off the water.

On the roof of the cabana is an additional 500 sq ft upper deck with twin-peaked sun shade roofs. This generous space features a daybed for two, an outdoor kitchen with an electric barbeque, a bar, a lounging area, and a sun deck.

The property is located on a peninsula, giving the guests access to the shoreline on sheltered Creaser's Cove. Guests can also access a private low tide beach on the south side of Whitecaps property, in the direction looking toward the LaHave Islands and Atlantic ocean. The private beach is a perfect place for romantic strolls with your special someone. The steep driveway and hill to the beach stairs offers a mini workout, pack shoes with a good grip for the climb :) If it’s surf you are looking for, Hirtle's and Kingsburg beaches are mere minutes away.

Whitecaps Cabana is located 15 minutes from Lunenburg, a World Heritage UNESCO site and home of the Bluenose II sailing schooner. In the town, you will find restaurants, galleries, a museum, quaint book stores, and charming shops near the waterfront. The LaHave ferry is a 5-minute drive from Whitecaps. The cable ferry takes you to the well-known LaHave Bakery. Park your car and take the ferry across or drive on board to explore the south side of the LaHave River. Cyclists love this route and also use the ferry for exploring the area.

Perfect Stay!!
Whitecaps Cabana was the perfect place for us to spend our week long trip in Nova Scotia! We enjoyed the daybed on the upper deck, the fire pit, the outdoor showers, and the massive comfortable bed. We would definitely stay here again. 😊

Beautiful cottage with great amenities!
This is a great little cottage with amazing views and a lot of amenities available, thoughtfully laid out to make the most of the space. We loved the outside shower option, the screened in porch, and the upper deck for stargazing. The hosts are easy to get in touch with and provided everything we needed. Highly recommended!

Relaxing Getaway
White caps Cabana was amazing and everything we were looking for in a three night getaway. The accommodations were exactly as described, and the view was amazing! So much to see and do within a short drive. The private beach was beautiful and the warmest for swimming and long walks. We were fortunate to have great weather, campfires every night and some great stargazing. The Cabana has everything you need and more.
