About this property

Cottage on Friar's Bay

This is a fabulous house for rental if you want to spend the summer season on Campobello Island with family and friends. It is furnished with everything you will need for a relaxing stay on the island. High ceilings and very large windows. Wi-Fi. Air-conditioned. Beautiful sunsets from the deck. The tides rise/lower between 25-28 feet, 4 times a day. Mesmerizing! Enjoy both the sunny side of the island and foggy days with the lulling fog horns. Note: this house was built in 1907 and has an old-fashioned bathroom (with low water pressure shower).

The history of Campobello Island will keep you enthralled. Roosevelt Park is the only International park in the world taken care of by the U.S. and Canada. Citizens from both countries work at the park. Enjoy the world's best ice cream while watching whales play around the East Quoddy lighthouse. Enjoy a round of golf at Herring Cove Provincial Golf Course. Visit the historic island library less than a quarter of a mile away. We have a Boston qualifying marathon, Fog Fest, Library Days, a great Canada Day Parade and coordinated Pirate Days with Eastport, ME, just across the river to name a few activities. Lubec, ME is a small town, just over the bridge, with restaurants, B&Bs, hotels, shops, a library and weekly festivals.

Bathroom needs updating

Overall the house was clean and spacious. The beds were comfortable. The house was the most well equipped home we have ever stayed in for toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies and clean towels. Our only complaint was the upstairs bathroom that has the only shower in the house. The shower is awful. Getting in and out of the clawfoot tub is tricky, no where to put soap or shampoo at all so you have to put it on the floor of the tub, the shower is super tight and you can’t even put your arms up to wash your hair without being wrapped up in shower curtain. The shower head barely works and dribbles water on you at a painfully slow rate. Then there is the sewer gas smell that just overwhelms the upstairs from the bathroom. Helps if you run the tub for a long time. Must be missing a trap under the tub or something. Zero counter space, the smallest sink ever, a toilet that you have to squeeze in between the tub and sink to get to and multiple families of spiders living amongst the exposed pipes. The floor is wrotten around the toilet and sink. This bathroom needs a full gut and remodel. We wouldn’t recommend or stay in this house again unless this bathroom was remodeled. It was miserable.

Campobello Island getaway

The cottage was perfect: roomy with lots of character and very good wifi, washer/dryer, dishwasher etc. Location in Welshpool was great with easy access to nearby parks including Roosevelt cottage and superb view of bay of Fundy. I would recommend this property to my friends wihout reservation.

August weekend stay

We spent a long weekend here in August with our kids, ages 5-9, and had a great stay. This place is big! Lots of room, high ceilings, plenty of places to play, read, hang out. Outdoor shower was a plus, and the big open front & back yards. There’s a good view down to the bay, and a little path through the meadow flowers to get there. It looks like the owners are in the process of replacing or repairing some windows, so not all the windows open, but we like old houses with quirks and character and this place suited us just perfectly. It was our first time to Campobello Island, and we found way more places to walk, bike, swim and explore than listed online and in guide books. We saw minke whales, seals, and porpoises from the lighthouse and around various coves.
