Homeport “Crow's Nest Lookout” Quiet & Private. Ferry to Nova Scotia - 2 KM Away

Tourism license number: 2300273
During Peak-Season, Crow's Nest Lookout is Monday to Monday. Homeport cottages are down a completely private lane on a 20 acre parcel that faces the Northumberland Strait on the southernmost tip of P.E.I. Crow's Nest is tucked in by the woods about 500 feet from the water. The South Shore has the warmest water and calmest seas on the Island. The cove is shaped like a big horseshoe, and we are right in the middle. Enjoy beautiful sunrise/sunsets. The property has a beautiful 1000 foot long white and red deep sandy beach, and sandbars go pretty far out at low tide. The cottages are well spaced apart (600-1000 feet) and they have their own separate access to the secluded beach, with lots of room for everyone to have their own privacy on the beach. You can search for bar clams, rock crabs, sand dollars, and hermit crabs on the sandbars at low tide, as well as walk for miles and explore in the tide pools or just relax on the warm sand and look for sea glass and other treasures along the shore. Great for swimming and and fun for kids building sandcastles. There is plenty of room on the beach and lots of large umbrellas with wooden tables, and chaise loungers to catch some shade on hot afternoons. Seals can be spotted on the rocks sunbathing near the lighthouse.

Our first visit to PEI
Our short vacation was fantastic. The beautiful beach and low tides are amazing there. We did paddleboarding, kayaking, and walking. It is a good place for swimming. Very nice and clean house with all the supplies. It makes vacations more comfortable.

Crow’s Nest
The Crow’s Nest cottage was great. It is set back with a view of the ocean from the porch. We loved watching the tides come in and out. The cottage has everything you need for a super enjoyable stay. It is clean, well stocked, and has comfy beds. The location is wonderful and exploring the beach each day is the reason to go for us. Darryl is a super attentive property owner and makes sure you have everything that is needed. We look forward to coming back again.

Beautiful beach protected in a small bay with the tide.
Great experience. We drove the whole east coast and the north central coast. The crows nest cottage in wood islands is positioned perfect. Water being in a protected bay was calm and peaceful well protected looking out at the northumberland straight and Nova Scotia. It was great driving around and exploring but it’s tough to match the calmness , sand and beach this cottage offered. We saw a bald eagle on the property and seals in the ocean.

A little slice of heaven!
We were so thrilled with our stay at Homeport’s Crows Nest cottage! It's so well maintained, the kitchen is fully stocked, the bathroom was very clean and tidy – lots of towels and the wifi was really good! Just out the front door there’s a great deck with two eating/lounging areas. It’s on a lovely property that has a private beach, so you can go for a little walk along the water and hunt for beautiful sea shells, sit on the beach and tuck your toes in the soft sand or sit on a bench for two and take it the lovely view. At low tide you could walk quite a ways with the clear water barely knee high and you get to see some little crabs and tiny hermit crabs now and then! Darryl, our host, was a pleasure to work with, he was super responsive and flexible! We would definitely love to stay there again. A little slice of heaven!
