🌊 Welcome to Waypoint Cottage — your oceanfront escape on the beautiful Northumberland Strait! 🏡✨

The space
🏡✨ Waypoint Cottage is a stunning 3,000 sq ft cedar log retreat designed for comfort, connection, and unforgettable stays. With a spacious and versatile layout, it’s the perfect escape for families, groups, and memory-making by the ocean 🌊💙

Comfortably sleeping up to 10 guests, the cottage features 2 queen beds, 2 twin beds, and 2 twin daybeds with pull-out trundles (sleeping 4 total) — offering flexible sleeping arrangements for families and groups alike 🛏️

Set on 4 private acres of breathtaking oceanfront property, Waypoint is surrounded by trees, fresh sea air, and peaceful views of the Northumberland Strait 🌲🌅 Whether you're enjoying quiet mornings with coffee overlooking the water, gathering for family time, or simply unwinding in nature, this spectacular setting offers the ultimate tranquil East Coast getaway.

Guest access
🌊🏡 Make yourself at home — guests have full access to the entire cottage and surrounding property, giving you plenty of space to relax, explore, and make lasting memories.

Waypoint Cottage is thoughtfully stocked with everything you need for a fun and comfortable stay, including a fully equipped kitchen featuring a gas cooktop — perfect for family meals, cozy breakfasts, or entertaining after a day by the water 🍳🍷

Looking for a little friendly competition? Head to the games room for foosball, ping pong, and darts, or enjoy the available exercise equipment, books, and board games for rainy days or cozy evenings in 🎯🏓📚

Outside, gather around the oceanfront fire pit for unforgettable sunsets over the point — the perfect setting for family time, roasting marshmallows, or unwinding with a glass of wine 🔥🌅🍷

Follow the steps down to Waypoint’s private beach and experience some of the warmest ocean waters north of the Carolinas, often reaching 20°C+ in the summer ☀️🌊 Swim, explore, or stroll for kilometres along the beautiful sandbars at low tide — a truly unique experience.

And because adventures are better together, Waypoint is pet-friendly too 🐾 Bring your furry companions along to enjoy the fresh ocean air and endless outdoor space!
