Orchard Point
Private Oceanfront Paradise
Details
It is with great pleasure that I add this cottage to our vacation rentals. We watched with anticipation as this 19th Century sea captain’s haven has been lovingly renovated and restored by an artist and historic preservationist, husband and wife team.
By combining modern touches and conveniences with traditional features this dedicated couple has managed to breathe new life into this historic oceanfront vacation rental home.
The design tastefully blends old and new architectural elements, art and furnishings to create an environment rich in character, charm, texture, and comfort. The palate of the home is a simple harmony of warm wood tones and crisp whitewashed plaster with calming ocean touches throughout. The ground floor has a living room, dining room, custom soapstone and wood kitchen with breakfast dinette, a laundry, and full bath with stone and tile walk-in shower. The upper level has a full bath with claw foot soaking tub and two bedrooms to sleep four. There is a queen size bed in the master bedroom and a double bed in guest room.
Location
Orchard Point Cottage is located on a bold Atlantic headland just six miles East of the historic port town of Shelburne on Nova Scotia’s scenic South Shore. Close enough to town for shopping, restaurants, and visits to the museums, theater and festival venues; the cottage is far enough away to guarantee seclusion.
Standing atop a long shoreward meadow, Orchard Point Cottage offers dramatic ocean vistas and wildlife viewings from every window – the welcoming sparkle of pristine Jordan Bay to the north and east, the thrill of open Atlantic surf to the south, and a South Shore picture-postcard cove to the west. This awe-inspiring setting was celebrated by writer, poet and naturalist Howard T. Walden’s beautifully written “Anchorage Northeast: The story of one man’s quest for the unspoiled bounties of nature and their discovery on a stretch of Nova Scotian Coast.

Reviews
“Most Beautiful Setting”
It’s always good to return to Orchard Point – to recalibrate and relax in this most beautiful setting. Like an annual pilgrimage, our year is incomplete unless we make our way back to your lovely home. Loving your music collection! However at night, with the windows open, the music of the wave action is sublime! Till next time/Year.
“A Little Slice of Heaven”
I can’t believe we have to leave! Orchard Point is a little slice of heaven. We could just sit and watch the water forever. We also made lots of new friends with the “locals” – a bunny-rabbit, a cute little porcupine and several chipmunks. What a wonderful cottage!
“Amazing Memories”
An amazing stay in a beautiful secluded setting! Orchard Point was a joy to stay in with our two kids. They enjoyed beach combing and catching fresh mackeral for their supper “right in their backyard”! We made many amazing memories.
“Restorative for the Soul”
Orchard Point is peaceful, beautiful, wild … truly restorative for the soul in need of a respite from the mundane stress of suburban life.
