Oceanfront cottage with new Oceanfront Master BR in 2023, complete remodel 2021

The Periwinkle Cottage is a charming cottage in the woods overlooking ocean. New Oceanfront Master BR 2023 & complete remodel in 2021. The Cottage is above a cove one mile south of the northern tip of Campobello Island and within walking distance of the Head Harbour Light and Head Harbour wharf where working fishing boats dock and Whale Watch Tours take on passengers. CHECK OUT THE DRONE VIDEOS BY CLICKING ON THE QR IN THE PHOTOS SECTION OF THIS LISTING. ENJOY! The Lighthouse is one of the most photographed in the world . At low tide you can walk on the ocean floor to go over to the island the lighthouse sits. The Periwinkle is a 2 bedroom room cottage with an expansive deck for bird and whale watching and a lovely view of the Bay. Totally renovated in 2021 and new kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedrooms and loft and larger open deck overlooking the ocean. Enjoy dining alfresco with eagles and ospreys flying overhead and the sounds of whales feeding in the cove below. Easy, close-up views of whales are frequent in the summer and early fall from the cottage. This is a private and charming retreat surrounded by trees and Adirondack chairs on the cliff overlooking the water.
Imagine sitting in a boat on the ocean, so close to a whale that you can look it in the eye! or just sitting on your deck or adirondack chairs and a whale blows!

The Bay of Fundy is a marine paradise because the waters of the bay are important feeding grounds for many whales.
The Periwinkle Cottage is on beautiful Campobello Island, home of the Franklin Delano Roosevelt's beloved summer home and the museum and International Park which bear his name. Campobello Island is connected by bridge to Lubec, Maine, home of the renowned candy striped West Quoddy Head Lighthouse, the easternmost point of the US. Within waling distance of the East Quoddy Head Lighthouse, the cottage offers privacy and seclusion and a wonderful view. Campobello is great for beach combing for star fish, sea urchins and sand dollars and shards of ancient sea glass, walk on the ocean floor at low tide to visit the lighthouse. Watch working fishing boats, play golf on the spectacular 9 hole oceanfront golf course, tour the Roosevelt International Park and visit FDR's summer home, hike the trails, go rock collecting on the beaches. Visit Herring Cove, Campobello's public beach with picnic and playground. 2 1/2 hours from Bar Harbor and 1 1/2 hours from St Andrews Canadian resort.

Campobello Luxury
We had a wonderful 5-night stay at the well-appointed Periwinkle cottage. The house had all modern conveniences and furniture. The view of the ocean were exceptional and travel to nearby attractions was easy. We highly recommend the Periwinkle cottage.

Just perfect
We were driving from Montreal to Halifax for a graduation and we were looking for a place to stay for a couple of nights before the graduation day. This charming cottage was available (it was fully booked for the whole month) and we booked it right away. It is a gem! Beautiful view of the ocean. Hurricane Fiona hit the coast on our first night, but we were cozy and warm despite the strong winds. Campobello Island is gorgeous. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Periwinkle cottage. Highly recommended.

Lovely Cabin with a Perfect View
This cabin is newly renovated and just lovely, with lots of light, comfy beds (there are actually two queen bedrooms which is more than the original listing said), a nicely stocked kitchen, and best of all - a wonderful view from the deck. A screened in porch, in addition to the deck, makes being outside possible no matter what the weather. We loved the location on the island and really didn’t want to leave when our time there was up.

What a delightful place to stay. The cottage was beautiful and tastefully appointed. Dennis is a great host. The view from the back deck was stunning. The only downside... we didn't stay long enough. This property is a real gem.

Wonderful, well decorated/located gem on Campobello Island
My husband and I had a great time at Periwinkle, loved the cottage, it is well equipped and decorated with lots of antiques and unique pieces giving it a "back in time" and modern feel; the flowers all around the house add a nice and coloured touch; the view is amazing and there are so many different spots from where to enjoy it, including the two chairs on the cliff at the end of the property, where you can see and hear whales; the cottage is also perfectly situated, close to the lighthouse, the park, a wharf, a new restaurant and convenience store, and so much more!

Wonderful cottage
The cottage and location were beautiful, with great views of the bay -- we saw whales and porpoises from the deck, but also from the lighthouse down the road. Beautifully decorated and very clean. Great hosts, who stopped by to chat and see if we needed anything. It was wonderful to simply relax and enjoy a place that's a bit off the beaten tourist path.

Peaceful getaway
This was our first time on Campobello Island and this was the perfect place for us. Beautiful setting , super clean and quiet. Had everything we needed . We caught a beautiful sunset our 1st night then the weather got crappy but there were plenty of interesting books to read. Would love to be around when the whales are in town. All of the other properties look just as nice.

Perfect cottage for Two
Periwinkle cottage is the perfect place for two to stay, recharge, watch sunsets, and wake up to the eagles. It's at the lighthouse end of the island, leaving plenty to explore and enjoy. A screened in porch offers a little more room and a retreat if it rains or the mosquitoes come out! We loved it. This property is too small for a family with children, but it is equipped with a working kitchen and lots of cross ventilation. We loved 55 degree mornings and 70 degree evenings and wonderful sunshine. The cabin is close to the shore to watch for whales.

Unique, rustic cabin, what a gem!
Excellent location on cliff overlooking bay. Screened porch, deck just added. Furnishings inside and out excellent. Decor homey, coastal theme. Books, collection of sea glass, use of space, all were awesome. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Charming, great sunsets, well equipped, good double bed, great deck and enclosed patio.
We loved the charming cottage, it was well equipped and the full size bed was good. I had difficulty communicating with owner through your website. His e mail address didn't respond but was able to get directions to get there by a very expensive phone call. (Didn't have Canada access). water heater on-off switch was on the wall behind a picture so we didn't get hot water the first day (there were no instructions). Overall it was a great place to stay.
