Tea for two on Glebe Cottage’s deck, overlooking McCann Cove and Passamaquoddy Bay beyond it.

Whether sipping coffee to the morning sun’s rays glistening across McCann Cove or serving kabobs hot off the three-burner gas Weber BBQ as the day’s last light colors the sky, time your days by the tides.

(Croquet anyone?) Glebe Cottage is simple and unassuming from the outside…

…but once you enter, it’s a little like arriving in C.S. Lewis’s Narnia through the wardrobe.

The great room, with its well-designed, well-equipped kitchen, living room, and dining nook is truly a great room.

Fully equipped with all major appliances, small appliances live behind doors and in drawers when not in use. All staples are well-stocked. The spice drawer alone has dozens of organic herbs, spices, and other seasonings with which to whip up amazing meals.

No matter where you are in the great room, you have a view of McCann Cove and the bay beyond it.

Curl up with a book, gather friends and family, or sit a spell and take in the ever-changing seascape before you. It never ceases to amaze.

Enjoy your meals in the cozy dining nook that comfortably seats four.

Ater a day exploring all that St. Andrews and surrounding areas have to offer, unwind with a movie from the DVD collection—whatever your preferred genre, from classics to contemporary, animé to action. Or plug in your laptop via HDMI cable (provided), connect to the Bose Bluetooth SoundTouch audio system, and stream from your favorite subscription site.

You’ll feel like you’ve slipped into a cloud thanks to the Egyptian cotton sheets and CuddleDown comforter. And there’s plenty of room for all of your personal belongings in the spacious closet. Crack the window, and fall asleep to the sound of the sea kissing the shore.

Double the CuddleDown delight.

The outlet near the desk in the twin room has a USB port to conveniently charge all your devices.

Slip into a suds-filled soaking tub, or freshen your duds in the stackable Whirlpool washer and dryer in the cottage’s spacious full bath.

Need to get away during your getaway? Nimble guests can retreat to the pillow-and peace-filled loft to read, write, sketch, or pair their Bluetooth-enabled device to the Bose SoundLink wireless headphones to enjoy their music or stream the latest episode of a favorite show.

Rainy afternoon? Stretch out on the flokati, a plush (and we mean plush) Greek woolen rug, or one of two futons in the loft. Read by the glow of the handmade washi paper lamps.

The loft overlooks the great room.

The views of McCann Cove and the Passamaquoddy Bay beyond is everchanging, depending on the tides, time, and seasons. Here, the early evening sky colors the cove’s quiet summer waters.

Sailor’s delight.

Glebe Cottage is beautiful in all seasons and all weather as this autumn glimpse attests.

Did we mention that Glebe Cottage is glorious in any season? Fog dances across McCann Cove as the sun rises over Kilmarnock Head on a wintry January morning.

No, those aren’t clouds on the horizon. It’s the famous Fundy fog billowing over the Passamaquoddy Bay’s winter waters. The Fundy fog is so formidable, it spurred noted St. John, NB, engineer, inventor, and artist Robert Foulis to invent the steam-powered fog horn in 1853.

The same view later in the day during low tide reveals Glebe Cottage’s red sandstone beach, dotted with gulls, shells, and sea glass (begging to be explored, even in January) with the Passamaquoddy Bay islands beyond.
