From the moment you enter this Thomas Moore, architecturally designed property and for the duration of your stay, you will be struck by its tranquility. An exceptional accommodation for a single person or couple, the guesthouse can comfortably sleep up to six (6) people in a blend of the modern and the old, including original Island and international artwork and antiques. The main level offers a well-equipped modern kitchen, informal dining, and two living areas, both offering pullout sofa beds, one queen size, and the other double. From the main level, you can also access the front and back decks. The front deck offers panoramic water views of the sand dunes, ocean, and harbour for your drinks, BBQs, or just relaxing in the sun. The back deck, where you enter the property, offers morning sun for your morning coffees or just relaxing with the breezes. As you step inside this lovingly maintained guesthouse, you enter a large sun-filled family room. The focal point of this well-appointed room is the relaxed comfortable seating for you and your guests offering a swivel-mounted flat screen 50-inch TV. As you walk through the French doors from the family room, you enter the spacious living room bathed in natural light with soaring vaulted ceilings. You’ll be greeted by a completely renovated open concept chef's kitchen complete with solid surface countertops, sleek modern appliances, and generous storage. Also, the full laundry is discreetly located behind closed doors on the main level, and a bathroom with a shower is also located on the main level.
Retire to your upper-level bedroom, which features ample storage, a queen-sized bed, 38-inch flat screen TV, a loft and deck offering exquisite views of the ocean, harbour and Greenwich National Park. All 12 upstairs bedroom windows can be opened for your convenience in the evening to capture the cooling harbour breezes.
The bedroom also offers a large closet for your home away from home experience.
For your ease of mind and your convenience, we have installed an automatic generator that allows you to enjoy the comfort of our guesthouse without power interruption. Do not be alarmed if you hear the generator start up at 10 am each Monday morning. This is a test to ensure that the generator is working properly and will click in automatically in case of a power interruption.
Guest access
We encourage you to enjoy our outdoor entertaining area. Our gardens are a work in progress and a labour of love. We have tried to create colour throughout the seasons, and it is our pleasure to share our creation with you.
Smokeless Fire Pit
As part of your Island experience, we are pleased to offer the complimentary use of our firepit with comfortable seating for four people and up to 6 (six) people. You can sit back and enjoy the views of the Red Head fishing wharf and the water views across the bay to Greenwich National Park and out to the Gulf of St Lawrence. Please, do not leave the fire unattended.
Kayak
We have a complimentary single kayak available during your stay at Dune Vista Cottage. It is a mandatory house rule to wear a PFD (life jacket) while using the kayak. The PFD is provided for your use and located in the closet on the left as you enter from the back entry of the guesthouse. The use of the kayak is at your own risk. We ask that the kayak be rinsed off after each use and the PFD be aired and dried outside. Please, do not bring sand or any dripping wet clothes into the guesthouse. It is only a very short stroll down to the beach.
Wood Fired Hot Tub
For an additional fee, we are pleased to offer our wood fired hot tub made from 100% Canadian red cedar that seats 4 people comfortably. The fully lined hot tub takes approximately 3 to 4 hours to heat. This, of course, depends upon your temperature preference. If you are an experienced wood burning hot tub enthusiast, please discuss with the owner if you'd like to personally complete all the necessary preparations for your hot tub enjoyment. If you are unfamiliar with wood fired hot tubs, you
will require the assistance of the owners. Please do not operate the hot tub without the express written permission of the owners.
We are here to make your stay as enjoyable as possible while you make Dune Vista Cottage your home away from home.
We always respect your privacy, and we want to be as unobtrusive as possible..

In July and August, the average day time high is 23°C (73°F) but can exceed 30°C (86°F).
