Experience life in a quaint fishing village.
Tackle Box Cottage is an ideal destination for travellers looking for monthly stays and an immersive experience. Perfect for a solo traveler or couple (sleeps 1-2) who love to be off the beaten track and surrounded by nature.
Our little tiny house is a snuggly gem with stunning ocean views. The cottage may only be 224 sqft but it has everything you need – including being fully winterized.
The backyard at Harbour Retreat has lots of peaceful spots to sit quietly and listen to the birds or walk a meditation labyrinth. At night be dazzled by the bright stars which you can enjoy beside a bonfire. There are also plenty of hiking trails, beaches and yummy places to eat in the area. Dine in, take out or have your dinner delivered!
All amenities are at your fingertips: groceries, restaurants, artisan shops, markets, liquor store, gas, bank, pharmacy.
