Cottage vacation rentals in New River Beach

Travellers—if you are thinking of going to Grand Manan-go! And if you go to Grand Manan—stay here! Seaside cottage is centrally located for your visits up or down island. We loved exploring Grand Manan; we equally loved our time on the deck watching the tide and the fog roll in. Alex is a wonderful host in all ways; especially a top communicator. We had some ferry drama on our first day and Alex was on top of it all the way. Highly recommended.

We stayed in the Magpie and it was the perfect spot to celebrate our 11 year anniversary. It was a rainy weekend but we made good use of the BBQ and hot tub under the covered porch! Very clean and comfiest bed ever! We also visited the coffee shop and took in the view at the beach. This place is a treasure for sure!

Alie is attentive to her emails, responds quickly. Place was immaculate, beds vey comfortable. Enjoyed the privacy, just what we wanted.

Absolutely amazing place. We are coming back in the summer too and can’t wait. ☺️

My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ashley's cottage. She is an excellent hostess, very responsive and helpful. She provided many helpful tips that made our stay go smoothly. The cottage is a gem. Beautiful location with a view that never got boring. Very quiet and peaceful. It was a treat to sit on the deck early in the morning watching the birds and squirrels collecting acorns. Even had a little chipmunk scampering around the deck while sitting out. The cottage is very comfortable and cozy. Well equipped with the necessities. We were a party of six, and we felt right at home. Enough space to gather as a group, or find a spot for some quiet time. We had a lovely walk to enjoy the fall leaves and found the neighbourhood to be quiet and the people friendly. Even though the cottage is in a rural area, it is only about 1 hour to SaintJohn, Fredericton, or Moncton.

This was our second stay at Coastal Cottages, we rented #1&5 this time! Loved them both, had everything we needed, so clean and decorated so beautifully. Love St. Martin’s, the seacaves, the little shops and especially the lobster rolls and seafoood chowder! We’ll be back, thanks Kevin and Sally, you two are awesome hosts!

Nice cozy spot! Dog friendly which was a plus for us. Shauna was an excellent host! Great place to book if you are looking to relax.

What a beautiful location , rich in history. The grounds are amazing with lots to do including walking trails. The receptionist was very friendly and took the time to give us a detailed explanation of where we were staying and where all the amenities were located. The breakfast was very good and the location is central to many attractions. Loved we could visit with our two dogs . I would certainly stay here again.

What a picturesque, quiet, beautiful place. Walking the beach, watching the tides come and go from the oceanside, being entertained by all the birds as we sat on the deck in the sun--all was entrancing. Sleeping in the loft was a delight and the kitchen was well-equipped for all our cooking. We enjoyed it all and were very comfortable with everything. Les and Kathy, Vancouver, BC

We enjoyed a brief (3 night) stay in early May at Sunrise Seaside Cottage. The cottage was clean, comfortable (especially the king bed) and coastal cute. The location is quite spectacular, especially for bird lovers (we saw as many as 19 bald eagles at one time, several heron, many types of waterfowl and, of course, loads of gulls! If you love nature, there is no end to the options in Lubec. We would gladly return!

5 stars for the unbeatable views on the porch— we spent hours reading out there and had a lovely dinner out there during sunset! Inside, the ship theme (i.e. signs over the bedrooms) was adorable. While the property technically has all the amenities listed, note that amenities such as laundry detergent, shampoo/conditioner, cooking basics (i.e. spices, aluminum foil, oil), and trash bags are not included. The TV is also very small and far from the couches, but we brought games so no problem! Overall it was amazing, and my group would book again in a heartbeat!

Our stay in L’Etete was absolutely perfect! The space was clean, modern, and beautifully designed—comfortable with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The real highlight, though, was the private beach and the incredible sunset views each evening. It felt like our own little piece of paradise. The location is peaceful and quiet, but still close enough to town for anything you might need. Waking up to the sound of the water and ending the day with those breathtaking sunsets made the whole experience unforgettable. The hosts were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and offered great local recommendations that made our trip even more special. They really went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. Highly recommend if you’re looking to unwind in a stunning coastal setting with thoughtful hosts and beautiful views!

A great place to weather a storm! We were greeted by a rare nor’easter so we weren’t able to hike around much but we enjoyed having coffee and looking out the windows at the gorgeous view. There was a bit of a snafu with the cleaners that take care of the property, but Brian was very responsive and apologetic and offered multiple solutions. The bidet in the bathroom downstairs was a bonus!

One of the most beautiful spots I’ve ever been. Very peaceful. Nice beaches near and nice hiking trails by the lighthouse.

I could write a book about how wonderful our stay was! My 6 year old and 2 year old had plenty to do. Our hosts provided canoes and life jackets to paddle the inlet at high tide and see the little waterfall. There was corn hole and croquet, fire pits on the beach, and we didn't feel like we needed to leave the whole time. Everything was there for us, and we just brought our food. They took us to clamming and were able to provide anything else we requested. Crossing the creek at low tide was a breeze after they guided us through in our Toyota Corolla Cross. We'll be back and probably with more guests to enjoy the other cottage. This is a dream spot for a vacation!

Kurt was very responsive and super nice. Very accommodating and dog friendly! Also his house cleaner is super nice! The location is ideal for a quiet get away and close to Machias, Campobello Island (Canada). I felt very safe and at home there. Much nicer than staying at a motel and you have your own yard full of hummingbirds on the deck and a private entry to water. I never heard another person.

We have recently completed a lovely, lovely stay on Smith’s Cove — a traveling family foursome. Jane’s little, ocean-front cottage was absolutely terrific — a beautiful setting, a tidy home, all the appliances, and close to most everything that the Digby area has to offer. (Think scallops, for example, and whale watching.) My iteration of Google maps didn’t list “Petrie Road,” however — or not in its entirety — which threw us off for a moment. The omniscient online mapper suggested we crash through the neighbor’s lot on Leighton Road, then walk the beach over to Jane’s cottage. We thought better of it. You need to drive to very *end* of Petrie Road, with faith and good confidence — and there at the end, just to the right, you will find an entrance into number 88. It’s worth the effort. Jane is wonderful host. And her home on the cove is spectacular.

I absolutely loved this cottage. It was cozy and inviting. Great location. The host Lydia was attentive and always ready and available to answer questions. I am planning to return soon.

Great spot and great host!

It was the perfect place to celebrate my 40th birthday weekend with a few friends! Right from the start we were made to feel welcome with a welcome basket with everything we needed for smores including fire starters and sticks in addition to nice handwritten note. We all loved the cottage inside with more than enough room for both kids and adults to relax or play games, sleep and eat supper. Outside was also great with the bbq, fire pit, propane fire table, especially at night with the amazing stars!), yard games and of course the beautiful lake especially with the leaves at this time of year! We enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boards and a little swimming repeatedly including the last morning after the hosts graciously allowed us to check out a couple hour later! We, especially the kids, also enjoyed the visits from a very friendly pug the hosts had told us would likely drop by. All in all I highly recommend staying at Shore Thing Cottage! We will definitely consider coming back!

Great area on the lake. Had online meetings and the internet worked well. Was able to relax in calm environment afterwards and even got to take out the kayaks. We had trouble streaming TV but that may be our lack of knowledge but ended up watching a movie on DVD. Darker curtains in bedroom were awesome. The kitchen was well equipped, I think I even saw a slow cooker. The BBQ was great. We had a great time and our host was very responsive. I would go back.

It was a very comfortable and cozy home, well appointed, with a helpful and responsive host. We would love to return!

This was the best last-minute find! We are so lucky to have been able to spend time in Kate’s cottage on her beautiful property on Orange Lake. Being right on the water you could not have better surroundings. The double open/ screened in porch we loved to sit on. Very tranquil. we loved using the kayaks to go out on the lake. My husband especially loved the fishing. I would definitely love to rent this cottage in the future when I am visiting my cousin in Lubec. Everything was as described in in the pictures and even better.

We had an amazing week, the home exceeded every expectation and then some. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning ocean view and how peaceful the back yard is which is just steps from the water. The house itself is beautifully maintained, tastefully decorated, and stocked with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing and comfortable stay. Waking up to the sound of the waves and sipping coffee on the deck while watching the sunrise was pure magic. We saw seabirds, and even a lobster boat or two right from the living room! The location is private yet close enough to charming coastal town. Our hosts were incredibly thoughtful and responsive, providing lobsters for us to enjoy on our stay. It’s clear they take great pride in their home and it shows. If you’re looking for the perfect Maine coast escape, this is it. We can’t wait to come back
