About this property

Oceanfront 3-Bedroom Captain's House

The 3 bedroom oceanfront Captain's House, offers unparalleled views across the bay of UNESCO World Heritage Site Lunenburg from most windows.

Meticulously restored with nautical accents, it's perfect for families, couples, or solo travelers seeking tranquility.

The house is cozy in the cooler months with a wood burning fireplace, or outside firepit, and for good measure, a heated mattress pad on the king bed in the main bedroom. With responsive forced air heating, the house takes a way the chill in a matter of minutes.

Upstairs the main, king bedroom, has a reading nook in the bump out, which is a feature of this type of house in the area, and it also provides some of the best views across to Lunenburg Harbour. At the top of the stairs to the right is a queen bed, where you can relax under the skylight and gaze at the myriad of stars on a clear night, and hear the waves lapping against the shore. Across the landing, the third bedroom has a twin bed with plenty of storage available for clothes.

There is a full bathroom upstairs with both tub and separate shower to ensure you can remove all of the sand, and a half bath downstairs for convenient use.

The den downstairs is a great spot to cozy in for a movie night, or for the children to watch TV. Off the den is the half bath, with toilet and sink, and washer and dryer for any laundry that might need a freshen up.

A fully equipped kitchen is complete with stove, dishwasher, fridge, microwave, air fryer, convection oven, slow cooker, and bakeware, rolling pin and blender if you fancy baking up a storm during your stay. With plenty of crockery, cutlery and utensils, you shouldn't be short of anything.

Once you have cooked or baked up your delights, sit around the dining table which offers stunning views across the bay to Garden Lots and Blue Rocks.

Just a short drive to Lunenburg's vibrant culture, restaurants and many events, it's also a short drive to experience Mahone Bay and see the three churches. If you just need to pop out for provisions, Rose Bay about 5kms away is stocked with essentials, including beer and wine, and also has a bistro offering meals during the day. Whilst you're out that way, you might want to visit Sand Dollar and/or Hirtles Beaches.

If you would rather stay home, you are steps away from the beach, a sea glass collectors paradise, and a great spot to watch the lobster boats coming and going during the season (November - May). Catch up with them at the wharf across the road to buy some fresh off the boat! The house is a sunshine haven in the Summer with front deck patio furniture, and plenty of comfortable seating inside from which to take in the views, whatever the weather!

Relax with the whole family at this peaceful place to stay, you won't want to leave!

Awesome Place to Stay
We (my husband and I) were so pleased with this charming seaside cottage/house. It is decorated beautifully with a cute nautical theme and an amazingly comfortable bed. We slept like stones both nights. The owner was extremely responsive to our questions. The view….incredible. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Great house!
Had a great time! You do have to cross a street to get to the beach but it’s super close and not very busy at all. Was really nice listening to the waves outside. House/kitchen was fully stocked. We enjoyed a campfire in the yard and enjoyed touring the area!

About the host

Hosted by Rachel White

Host profile image
Rachel is originally from England, and Mike is from Ontario. They have made the South Shore their home for 15 years and still appreciate everything it has to offer to this day. Rachel is a sea glass collector and stumbled across the beach a few years ago, it was meant to be that she would end up with a property in the area.

Why they chose this property

Feltzen South is a small but welcoming community. The people are very friendly and enjoy sharing this peace of paradise with visitors. We are pleased to be able to offer that opportunity for others to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

HIstorically being a Captain's House, complete with maps and log books of voyages, it truly is a piece of history for the area. With superb views across the wharf where in season (November to May) the lobster boats come and go, to the historic town of Lunenburg, famous for being the home of the schooner Bluenose II (which you can see on the Canadian dime), basking in the sunlight in all its glory.
