Summit
Whitecaps Summit Beach House
3 King Beds & Kids’ Bunk Room
Whitecaps Retreat is on the Kraut Point peninsula stretching from Creaser’s Cove on the east to the sandy beach at low tide on the west. From the crest in the middle of the property there are panoramic views of the ocean on 3 sides where you will see Whitecaps Summit. They are sister cottages – far enough to have privacy, but close enough for two groups wanting to rent both cottages. On the Creaser’s Cove side, the deep waters are favourite among sailors. The east side (Creaser’s Cove side) of Whitecaps is the best location for launching kayaks, paddle boards, and other small water crafts while the west side is perfect for beach-combing, walks, and swimming.
Happy Visitors
We just spend 3 nights at this amazing property (4 adults, 5 kids age 9yo and under). It was exactly as shown but with lots of extra thoughtful details (i.e. bandaids and QTips in each bathroom). The kids really enjoyed the fire pit and beach (as well as the Prime Video when it was raining – ha!). The adults appreciated the view of the amazing sunset from the fire pit and upper patio, as well as the screened-in porch to play games when the kids were in bed. Lots of places to sit and relax with a glass of wine! Only a short drive to the Lehave cable ferry to take you to the Lehave Bakery. We also drove to Hirtle’s beach and did the Gaff Point trail. Highly recommend this for some time away!
We had a wonderful few days at Jacqui and Andy’s property in Lahave. The home itself is beautifully decorated with many thoughtful touches throughout. Especially appreciated the blankets provided for the time spent on the deck or by the fire! The location is private but just a short drive away from anything you may need. This was our first time booking through VRBO and Jacqui and Andy went above and beyond. Easy check in, helpful recommendations on local places to eat, beaches, etc. They were always readily available for anything we may have needed. We were able to bring our dog, who also enjoyed his time 🙂 we hope to be back again some time soon!
My wife and I, our adult daughter and her partner, and my elderly father stayed at Whitecaps Summit from Aug 30 to Sept 5, 2020. The cottage has really beautiful views of the ocean and the Leharve River. We liked the fact that there were 3 bedrooms with really comfortable king-sized beds and 3 bathrooms so that we all had some privacy at night. There is also a “bunk room” that would be great for kids. The location was also great – close to some of the nicest beaches in the province, and close to Lunenburg with its restaurants and shopping. One final point – the cottage was accessible for my elderly father (one of the bedrooms and bathrooms is on the first floor). I would highly recommeded this cottage.
