About this property

The Carriage House - Your own piece of paradise

Nestled within our 28 acres on a rocky outcrop overlooking Passamaquoddy Bay, the Carriage House offers a unique opportunity for relaxation and solace. With uninterrupted views of the bay and stunning sunsets there is always something of interest to see.

A private road leads from the property to the beach where you can spend time walking the shoreline and searching for sea glass.

Overlooking St Andrews and Ministers Island the large deck is perfect for alfresco dining, relaxing in the sun or watching the bald eagles glide by. The deck also holds a propane Weber BBQ.

The property benefits from a fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops and touch operated faucet.

Air conditioning along with ceiling fans are fitted along with a new (2022) wood stove, large patio doors and panoramic windows. Bose radio and large a 55” TV are installed in the lounge/diner/kitchen.

To the side of the cottage is a fire pit and Adirondack chairs where guests can view the spectacular sunsets.

We are blessed to have a small resident herd of white tailed deer, regular visits from wild turkey flocks, foxes and bald eagles. If you want to experience nature you’ve come to the right spot. With little light pollution, star gazing can be spectacular on clear nights.

Neill and Debbie set a very high standard; their place is a joy to stay at as they have thought of everything. Neill met us at our arrival, and gave us a grand tour, including to the beach. He also informed us as to where to go to shop, and to eat. We really loved staying there and hope to be able to return someday. PS The views and sunsets were spectacular!

2 night stay

A perfect location to relax and enjoy the scenery. The Carriage house is decorated and equipped perfectly. The short walk to the water is a bonus. And if looking for restaurants etc its another short drive, but we were happy to stay put. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a low key getaway. Neil and Debbie were very helpful and pleasant.

A Home Away From Home

Our stay was incredible! My partner and I were shooting photos of the coastline in the area and we were looking for a cozy little basecamp. Between the freshly made bread and homemade jam on arrival to the most comfortable bed we've ever slept in, this place had an instant place in our hearts. Neil made sure we had everything we needed and more. We would gladly return to this spot in the future and recommend it to anyone looking for a blissful getaway.

Neil was so gracious and attentive to all my needs. He even turned the outside security lights off for me at night, so I could see the stars. The cottage was peaceful and perfect for a rural getaway, with a magnificent ocean view. For sure, I would like to come back some day for a longer stay.

Just like home

The is the most relaxed, quaint space that you feel completely at home. Very clean, the owners make you feel so welcome and met us on arrival and continued to be so helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. It is the best of both worlds - the view is spectacular, you can work out or go for a walk through the woods and walk to the beach and search for sea glass or sit and enjoy the water view. This was such an amazing place that this has become our first choice and go to for our time away from home.

Enchanting escape

The perfect location to relax, connect with nature and recharge. Neil and Debbie are superb hosts who demonstrated true hospitality. The property lacked nothing for amenities and everything was immaculate. Waking in the morning to that view of the bay and falling asleep with the moon or starlight reflecting on the water was restorative to the soul. The small town is just a short drive away with quaint restaurants and very friendly people. Wonderful cottage in a wonderul location.

Amazing week of serenity and relaxation

Hosts thought of everything. Also had amazing ideas where to eat, and to visit. All we thoroughly enjoyed. Property centrally located. Even got to cross border shop in Calais. Dog friendly and our dog was able to chase some deer at the beach and also yo swim in the ocean . Lots of acreage to walk if need be. Would return if we get the chance . The views from Carriage house were awesome!

Tranquility in St George

Despite various weather conditions mother nature threw at us… fog, rain and the forecasted hurricane Lee, we also had a few sunny days to enjoy fantastic sunsets after visiting nearby islands. Our hosts shared excellent restaurant suggestions. When the weather forced us to hunker down, the reading selection and large TV screen, bath salts and warm cosy home kept us snug and safe. Our hosts made sure we were safe and warm. These 8 nights were so relaxing and the king size bed with outstanding view was a bonus. Definite 10/10 rating deserved here

A Piece of Paradise

We really enjoyed our week with Neil and Debbie. They are gracious and kindly hosts who ensure that your stay is comfortable, quiet, and secure. They go out of their way to give information, recommendations, and advice. The Carriage House is stocked with modern conveniences and essentials such as soap, shampoo, tea, coffee, to name a few. The view of the ocean is to die for. I will recommend this rental to my friends and relatives - without question.

Beautiful Part of the World

We were at the property for a week as we explored many parts of New Brunswick. Absolutely everything about the stay was fantastic. Neil and Debbie were great hosts and gave us many recommendations for things to do and see as well as restaurants in the area. We felt completely at home and The suite is equipped well for cooking and baking. Bedroom was spacious with a comfortable bed. We spent some time at their beach during a lower tide. It only rained one day while we were there so we stayed in, read books and watched movies. Great vacation, great hosts- incredible bay views where you can watch the lobster boats work. We would stay there again if we come back to NB again. Thank you Neil and Debbie!

Gorgeous October visit!

The carriage house was one of my best vacation spots! The apartment looked brand new and clean and had all the amenities I could think of- and more! The walk down to the water is a magical mossy forest and the beach at low tide is a wild landscape to explore! I watched eagles fly by in the morning light from my bed, then enjoyed sunny October afternoons on the balcony listening to the water and the birds (It's so quiet! No traffic or neighbours!), watched the sunset, then star gazed. Neil greeted me, showed me around, suggested lots of local activities and told me to let him know if I needed anything at all. I definitely recommend to anyone wanting a quiet getaway and would return myself! I wanted to stay forever!
