About this property

Family Friendly Oceanfront Estate

This family-friendly cottage is tucked away on 5 acres of oceanfront property overlooking the mouth of Lunenburg harbour. You will feel a sense of privacy in this "home away from home", far from any noisy roads. Suitable for families of up to 6 people, there are three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Here you will be within easy driving distance to amenities, beautiful beaches, Lunenburg, Halifax and the charming seaside towns that Nova Scotia is famous for.

This heritage cottage is full of old-world character with high ceilings and large windows. The main floor boasts a large, bright living room with plush furnishings. The adjoining kitchen was designed to take advantage of the views across the field to the water beyond. The kitchen is fully equipped and invites you to socialize while preparing any meal of the day. There is a large dining room with a table and seating for 8. The bookshelf in the corner doubles as a secret door leading to the spacious master bedroom. You will sleep well in the comfortable king sized bed and enjoy the convenience of a two piece ensuite bathroom.

Upstairs there are two more bedrooms; one with a queen sized bed and the other with two twin beds. A four piece bathroom, with corner jet tub and shower are shared by these rooms. There is also a four piece bathroom on the main level.

You will enjoy 480 feet of oceanfront that wraps the large grassy field, dotted with apple trees. The flat, natural stone beach is great for swimming or launching a kayak. At the far end of the field, from the top of the bluff, is the perfect place to relax and watch boats and even whales pass by. The Bluenose II is a common sight during the summer months.

Wonderful trip
We had a terrific stay at Wedgewood by the Sea and would not hesitate to stay there again. The location was excellent giving us the privacy and peacefulness we wanted plus the convenience of being less than 10 mins from Lunenburg. We really enjoyed the twice daily visits from the deer and were fortunate to also have the Bluenose sail by the property several times. The house is homey and comfortable with lots of living and sleeping space for our group of 6 adults. The kitchen was very well equipped which was perfect as we opted to cook and dine in a couple of nights. Our host Jeanne was highly responsive both pre stay and during our stay which we appreciated.

Loved It!
This was our second stay at "Wedgewood By the Sea." It's a perfect vacation getaway--great location close to all kinds of wonderful South Shore sites like Lahave, the Ovens, Blue Rocks, and of course a 5 minute drive from Lunenburg. We swim off the little private beach and put our kayaks in at the public beach just down the road. It's blissfully quiet, very private, and the house has all the amenities you can possibly need. Great master bedroom...and a plus is the deer wandering through every day for the drop apples. We'll definitely be going back!

Beautiful home in a beautiful location!
We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 nights at this home. Its location away from the town center yet only 10 minutes from it (and the main grocery and liquor stores) was very convenient. For the few minor items that came up during our stay, our host Jeanne was very responsive and helpful. I highly recommend this property when visiting Lunenburg!

The Island
The house and property are in good shape. The kitchen has lovely dishes, pots and pans, cutlery. If you're staying for a long time there is not a lot of space in the kitchen cupboards for dry goods. We had to improvise and that worked for us. The bedroom on the main floor had a very comfortable bed. Lots of room in the house for a large group. A brand new BBQ was available for our use. Watching the deer come almost to the door every day was a bonus. Thank you for allowing us the privilege of staying in your lovely home.

Family Week at Corkum's Island
A beautiful, large property with resident deer who wandered around oblivious to their visitors. Great views (including of The Bluenose on her sails out of Lunenburg Harbour), oceanfront deck and quiet and peaceful. The house worked very well for my elderly parents and siblings, well equipped with everything we needed. Great location close to Lunenburg, LaHave and within 1/2 hour of several beaches. We would definitely consider a repeat visit if in the area again.

Lovely stay in a unique house by the sea.
Great experience renting. The furniture in the large family room was completely different than what was posted in the listing and not what I expected. The house was very clean. I could not find a carbon monoxide detector. It is a lovely house on a private property on the sea and very close to Lunenburg. We had a very nice vacation there.

Corkum's Island stay
Lovely well-appointed cottage on a lovely island near Lunenburg, LaHave and Hirtles Beach. 6 adults stayed in comfort. Convenient location. We brought a kayak and paddle board and had easy direct access to the water.

Peaceful Haven
Lunenburg is a most beautiful, idyllic , quaint storybook town. Even when busy with tourists, it's calming atmosphere makes it a perfect vacation spot for those looking for a rejuvenating experience. This house is on Corkum's Island, a short drive to Lunenburg and not too far from Mahone Bay, another pretty seaside village. It's in a very private, pretty setting with beautiful views of the water. We particularly enjoyed watching the families of deer feed in the yard. The baby and younger deer were very playful and fun to see. The only significant complaint we had was the air conditioning was inadequate for the upstairs portion of the house on hot days.

Wonderful Lunenburg home
We spent 5 nights at the house (end July - beginning of August). The weather was wonderful and the house was perfectly suited to our stay. Large living/dining areas, kitchen with all the amenities needed, plenty of space in the bedrooms. The nature was cooperating and we enjoyed many evening on the deck, by the water. 1-2 miles down the road, on the way to Lunenburg, there is a small fish shack were you can find fresh fish, mussels, lobsters. Many small beaches in the area and in easy driving distance from several national parks, hiking areas and Halifax. Lunenburg easily accessible with many seafood restaurants, groceries stores. We'll definitely consider coming back.

Well appointed, clean, comfortable house full of amenaties and memories for years to come!
Wonderful house, wonderful location...even got to meet the wonderful owners for a personal tour of the house. Every aspect of our stay was perfect! Quiet at night, calm during the day. Wonderful views (Blue Nose II would sail by twice a day). Deer frolicking each morning and evening right outside. Everything was thought of in terms of having people stay. All toiletries and cleaning products, bedding, extra towels (including beach towels), games, books, music, tv, internet, BBQ. Staying at this house really was the icing on the cake for our vacation, and would definitely stay here again, and would happily refer to friends.

Wonderful vacation home, nicely situated for great activities!
We loved this home! It was clean, neat, comfortable and nicely appointed, lovely on the inside and on a lovely property, beautiful view of the water. It's proximity to UNESCO Historic Site Lunenburg was a definite plus! Hiking and canoeing at Keji and Keji Seaside, walking around Lunenburg, exploring local communities and beaches, local restaurants - all were easily accessed. Highly recommend this property! Owners were personable and helpful, with nice suggestions for local restaurants, bakeries, and beaches that we checked out and enjoyed. Would stay here again if plan to be in the area! Property manager was not very responsive, but we worked through it.
