Whale Of A View, Campobello Island LOCATED ON OCEAN, 3 BR: FABULOUS VIEWS
THE WHALE OF A VIEW IS EVEN BETTER NOW WITH A REMODELED KITCHEN WITH COFFEE BAR AND TILED BATHROOM NEW FOR 2024! CEILING RAISED WITH SHIPLAP. Look at the pictures the views are unmatched! The Whale of a View Cottage is nestled in the woods sitting directly above the Passamaquoddy Bay. Located on Campobello Island, home of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Summer home and International Park, the cottage offers spectacular and close-up views of whales, eagles, seals, porpoises, ospreys and other wildlife from the house or the beautiful screened in Gazebo atop a cliff overlooking the water. Enjoy sunbathing and the beautiful sunsets on the deck attached to the Gazebo. Watch sailboats, fishing and cargo ships pass right outside your window. It is a special and private retreat. The cottage is within walking distance of the most photographed lighthouse in New Brunswick and connected by bridge to the US mainland at Lubec, Maine 04652 Head Harbor Wharf is within walking distance for Whale Watch and fishing trips as well as to watch the local fisherman at work. This cute house is fully furnished as a vacation home.

YOU WON'T REGRET YOUR STAY!!! READ THE REVIEWS!!
Imagine sitting in a boat on the ocean, so close to a whale that you can look it in the eye!
The Bay of Fundy is a marine paradise because the waters of the bay are important feeding grounds for many whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals and sea birds. Watch humpbacksâ the clowns of the sea frolic and breech, marvel at the huge finbacks, and meet the friendly minke (pronounced "ming key" whales. If you are lucky, you might even spot the Atlantic White Sided Dolphins or the rare North Atlantic right whale (one of the rarest in the world). YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE WHALES PASS BY THE COTTAGES OFTEN AS THEY FEED RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE COTTAGES. YOU CAN WATCH THEM FROM THE PRIVACY OF YOUR OWN COTTAGE!!
