Nick Brennan has a deep love of New Brunswick's landscapes and seascapes. He fell in love with St. Martins while exploring the rugged beauty and vast stretches pristine coastline along the Bay of Fundy by kayak. Nick spends much of his time in the outdoors as a wilderness guide and canoe and kayak instructor and enjoys sharing his property with travellers to the area. The owner Nick and his father Joe, the property manager, reside on the property and are happy to help if you have any questions, especially about planning your adventures in the area or the nearby Fundy Trail Park. Otherwise, your privacy is the priority and you will have the freedom to enjoy your vacation in this cottage that was passed from loving owner to loving owner and found its way to Nick.

Surrounded by spacious grounds of lawns, trees and flowers, this 1½ story structure was built in the early 1900’s as a summer kitchen addition to the main house (The Shipbuilder's Cottage) that was built in 1812. When built it contained a kitchen, pantry, storage, root cellar and upper level living area. Today, the lower level, with its original wide plank floors, contains a fully equipped comfy kitchen with bathroom and laundry room. The upper level has two rooms, a bedroom with a double bed and a separate living area with a pull out couch that can sleep an additional adult or two children. With its wide plank original flooring, low sloped ceiling and a dormer window with a view of the Bay of Fundy, this cozy space and the surrounding property offer is a great place to relax after a day of exploring the nearby beaches and trails. Outside there are many places to relax and take in the view of the Bay, including a screened-in gazebo (shared), hammocks slung between trees, and a sprawling lawn for playing games. The yard blooms all summer long with perennial flowers and fruit trees, and on calm nights the world's highest tides can be heard washing into shore, carving the red rock coastline to smooth perfection. The Summer Kitchen has its own patio, BBQ and fire pan just outside the front door.

The cottage is located minutes from the Village of St. Martins, the harbour, restaurants, cafe, art and gift shops, tourist information centre, museum and the Sea Caves. The Fundy Trail Provincial Park is 15 km from the cottage. Within walking distance of the cottage is The Quaco Head Lighthouse (1.3kms), and Brown's beach (1.9kms) - which is as quiet as it is scenic and a rock lover's dream. There is also a coastal trail that connects the two. Peaceful and quiet, star filled nights, waves caressing the shoreline in the distance make the Shipbuilder's Summer Kitchen a unique experience for all to enjoy.
