Property Details

This character older home has two quality housekeeping (self-catering), apartment-style suites. (The adjoining inner stairway may be opened so that large family gatherings may use the whole house.) Each suite very comfortably accommodates six people. And each is totally equipped to be your "home away from home".

This oceanside setting features sights and sounds of the sea, magnificent harbour and sunset views, and access to boat mooring. This tranquil location is in residential "Olde Towne" Lunenburg, Nova Scotia -- just minutes from south shore beaches and towns, and one hour from Halifax.

The "Upper Deck" suite features a spectacular bird's eye view of the harbour from outside on the deck or inside through the lovely picture window in the kitchen. Enjoy gazing at this view with a cup of coffee at daybreak or a glass of wine at sunset.

A "room with a million dollar view", the eat-in kitchen is a terrific space for cooking and sharing food and fun. The living room offers quiet relaxation. For those with work to do, an adjoining alcove provides a desk. With three bedrooms (one queen, and two doubles) there is plenty of space for private rest and relaxation.

The second suite is the Captain's Quarters suite. We have just removed the carpeting, revealing gorgeous hardwood floors in a log cabin or herring bone pattern. We think you'll feel like the captain of a fine ship in this lovely ground-floor suite, especially when seated in the fabulous glassed-in porch on the water side of the house.

This glorious room provides wonderful vistas of the harbour -- a perfect vantage point for watching boats, birds, the sunset, and the beauty of the water. Since this is a separate room, with a very comfortable double futon, the captain may choose to bunk down here.

Alternately, the spacious master bedroom with a queen-size bed or a very comfortable double futon in the living room can be the sleeping quarters of choice.

A large eat-in kitchen and a gracious dining room give lots of space for enjoying that lobster or other bounty of the sea. Other spots for quiet relaxation are the living room and the old-fashioned veranda with sliding glass panels, which are adjustable according to the sea breeze. For the ultimate in relaxation, enjoy the jacuzzi-style, air whirlpool bathtub we have just had installed.

Each suite is totally equipped to be your "home away from home".

There is 1,200 square feet of quality living space, tastefully decorated with antiques and original art. Amenities include excellent beds, quality linens (bedding, sheets, and towels), complete kitchenware, a microwave, coffee maker. a lobster pot, a full-size fridge, a stove, washer, dryer, dishwasher, cable TV and a VCR with remote, and a telephone.

Admiralty House is a positively no-smoking environment.

The yard includes a barbecue and picnic table. There is a private oceanside deck for each suite, and there's off-street parking. An on-site manager is available 24 hours a day.
