Photos and Description of the White Point Beach vacation house rental
2 Bedrooms, 1.5 Baths (Sleeps 2-4)

OCEAN SURF COTTAGE is an oceanfront piece of paradise'. It is a romantic seaside getaway in the unspoilt community of Summerville Centre overlooking Port Mouton Bay. To the south-east are the open Atlantic and Port Mouton Island. A few minutes walk to the west lies the mile-long sandy beach of Summerville Provincial Park and the delectable Quarterdeck Grill seafood restaurant. To the south, across the bay, historic lighthouses, fishing boats and more sandy beaches await. If you are looking for the sights and sounds of the ocean right at your door, without giving up 'the comforts of home' this premium destination may well be the best on the South Shore of Nova Scotia.

Within Walking Distance: Start your day on the deck overlooking the waves. It spans the full width of the house with 350 sq feet fully enclosed, insulated and heated for year round use. Facing south west, it gets lots of sun even in winter. Retractable electrically operated awnings together with the latest in mini-split air-conditioning technology keep the house cool and provide welcome shade during the hotter days of summer.

After breakfast the sandy mile-long beach of Summerville Provincial Park is a six minute walk away. Here, aside from having a leisurely stroll on the sand, you may rent a kayak or surfboard then enjoy one of the 'Taste of Nova Scotia' featured restaurants - the popular Quarterdeck Grill.

At the far end of the beach, the Broad River presents a hiking opportunity: it is crossed by a trestle bridge of the abandoned Halifax to Yarmouth railway, which is now maintained as a trail through rugged, forested countryside.

If you enjoy clambering over rocks, that is also a great way to explore the immediate shoreline on which the house is located.

Within a Fifteen Minute Drive: Head south down Hwy 103 through Port Mouton to one of Nova Scotia's finest beaches: Carter's Beach. With a parking area for all of fifteen cars (and rarely full), it is a series of three crescent shaped beaches with offshore islands reminiscent of the Caribbean (minus the palm trees of course). If you like deserted, this is it, though it has become a favorite stopover for sailboats and the occasional tall ship.

Head east 5 minutes along the Lighthouse route and you'll find White Point Golf Club.

Continue to the Town of Liverpool, one of the oldest towns in the Province. Noted for its colorful maritime history, it is a treasure trove of historic homes, many of which date back to when captains of industry and of the sea vied for the most impressive homes. One of them is now a fascinating museum of local history.

Within a Forty-five Minute Drive: To the south (a twenty-minute drive) is the wild rocky coastline and surrounding natural splendour of the Seaside Adjunct of Kejimkujik National Preserve and its seal colonies. A 'must sea'.

In the opposite direction, the Town of Bridgewater sits on the LaHave River. There are wonderful scenic drives on both sides of the river down to the sea, from where you can follow the coast by road. Have lunch at the LaHave Bakery where they bake their own breads and pastries and continue on to the LaHave Islands, Crescent Beach and Petite Riviere.

Just beyond Bridgewater are quaint Mahone Bay and Unesco World Heritage sight, Lunenburg. The latter is home to the Bluenose a beautiful tall ship in port for daily excursions.

About Jeffrey Percy

Ocean Surf Cottage is owned by a semi-retired couple who moved to Nova Scotia from Ontario after careers in the business, education and civil service fields. We are now enjoying life in an unhurried, tranquil part of the world that is very close to nature.

Jeffrey Percy purchased this house in 2005
Why Jeffrey Percy chose White Point Beach

We were on vacation in Nova Scotia and just happened upon this oceanfront property which was on the market. It was only after buying it that we discovered its wonderful surroundings - miles of empty and near empty beaches, hiking trails, and the ever-changing ocean right on the doorstep. Not to mention endless interesting drives on twisty roads to scenic area attractions.

Great house, even better location!

5 of 5
Submitted: November 23, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
This is a wonderful house, immaculate, roomy, very nice kitchen and living areas, the porch is fantastic and the deck is great too. The location really sets it apart. We stayed here in October when it was starting to get just a little chilly. During the day we'd eat breakfast on the porch or lunch on the deck before heading out to sight see. None of the pictures do the place justice, on a sunny day it is absolutely breathtaking. At night we sat in the comfy chairs on the porch, opened a few of the many sliding doors to let the sound of the water in, poured ourselves a drink or hot chocolate, and watched the lighthouses blink on the distant shores. Even when the water was calm and just gently lapping on the shore you could hear the sound with a few doors cracked open, it was as relaxing a spot as I've ever visited. Once you head out, wherever you are along the coast, when its time for dinner just find the nearest town and you are sure to also find a seafood restaurant with a deck overlooking the water. The home itself is very well decorated and they provided a comprehensive list of local towns, attractions, and insights you could only get from a local resident. This was a great place and we would definitely stay here again if we are fortunate enough to return to Nova Scotia.

Owner's Response: It is always rewarding to hear how much our visitors enjoy their time at Ocean Surf Cottage as they explore the beautiful Nova Scotia coast. It is also true that pictures only capture a snippet of the spectacular vista that awaits us each morning we awake and look outside. On the bright side , that means no-one should be disappointed.

Amazing Location and Fantastic Property

5 of 5
Submitted: May 24, 2011 Stayed: May 2011
An absolutely unbeatable location RIGHT on the beach! Fantastically equipped, spotlessly clean, and well-maintained property with two big and comfy beds. Jeff provides all the information you need, is easy to get hold of, will help you out with anything, and is just fantastic to deal with. BBQ dinners on the deck right next to the ocean is a must every night you don't feel like eating out.

Great location for walking, relaxing, and serves as a great base for exploring the south coast. If the weather plays ball there's plenty of opportunity for surfing at Summerville Centre or head up and around Western Head. Don't think about it, just contact Jeff, book and then go and have a fantastic time.
Owner's Response: Wow. Great review. Thank-you.

Ocean Surf Cottage was our first Nova Scotia home - we uprooted and moved 1200 miles for the opportunity to live here on the ocean. Being only a 15 minute drive from our house in town, the cottage is always ready for us. It remains as well furnished and equipped (minus the personal stuff) as it always was. Right down to the egg cups, garlic press and all those wine glasses.

The Cottage gives visitors the opportunity to experience what it is like living on the ocean in an unspoiled natural setting. Judging by this, and previous comments, they seem to like it.

We came for R&R and that we certainly had. As was already said "thank-you for sharing your piece of paradise with us".

Hard to leave.....

5 of 5
Submitted: August 7, 2010 Stayed: July 2010
It wasn't easy leaving this cottage at the end of a much-too-short week. Frankly, it wasn't easy even leaving the deck lounge chairs when necessary! :) We never expected such a large, private and quiet site; that was a VERY pleasant surprise. Ocean on one side and trees/hedges all around pretty much assure total privacy. Lots of light and sunshine as the cottage faces south.

The cottage is extremely well stocked with many spices, condiments, kitchenware, books, mags, local info, linens, towels and even terry robes. Laptops work well outside on the deck. Summerville beach is a very nice sandy beach that's about a 10 min walk away.

Sleeping with the sounds and sight of the ocean so near was extraordinary...this is a very special place we hope to return to.



Thanks for the opportunity to share this wonderful spot!

Great Vacation Home and Location

5 of 5
Submitted: July 25, 2010 Stayed: July 2010
My husband and I just returned from spending a week at Ocean Surf Cottage. We have not had such a restful vacation in a long time. We enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the waves, a seal play, a dolphin swimming by, the sailboats coming in for the night etc. The cottage was great with everything you would need provided. We also made use of the flyers, brochures for the area that were available. Jeff recommended 2 restaurants close by and they were also excellent. We played golf on the Atlantic shores at a nearby resort. Again we could not have asked for a better home, location or trip :)
