Cottage vacation rentals in St. Andrews

What a beautiful spot! My siblings and I had an amazing stay and highly recommend checking out this piece of paradise! To be back on Lake Utopia after 15 years has been so memorable! We are so fortunate to stay on the same lake that we grew up on and visited every summer. This incredible space was absolutely stunning. Thank you Catherine! We will definitely be back!

What a beautiful location , rich in history. The grounds are amazing with lots to do including walking trails. The receptionist was very friendly and took the time to give us a detailed explanation of where we were staying and where all the amenities were located. The breakfast was very good and the location is central to many attractions. Loved we could visit with our two dogs . I would certainly stay here again.

The cottage was a very peaceful and private place with beautiful views. My husband and I greatly enjoyed the relaxing setting and hot tub. I was able to read on the beach that looks out on the bay. It was great to also be so close to two towns with plenty to do and plenty of restaurants. Highly recommend the cottage for a relaxing place to stay.

I’m not one for taking a lot of time to write a review, but this place is the best Airbnb I have ever stayed at. Clean, beautiful, peaceful, private, and the attention to details is amazing. More than we ever expected, this place is amazing!

We had a terrific, peaceful and relaxing time at Whale of a View! The house was comfortable, clean and had a wonderful view of the water and we appreciated all the different sitting options. Screened porch, beautiful deck, picnic table and around an outdoor fire pit. Beds and furniture were comfortable, kitchen clean and had all the utensils/appliances that we needed. Campobello Island has a lot of different places to explore, hike, and soak in the beauty.

Beautiful place to stay for the weekend.

This cabin is very nice and comfortable. The dock and view are so nice. Beautiful area.

The stay at the cottage was great. My family used it as a base for exploration and fishing. The house had all we needed and more. There are a lot of historical displays in the cottage to capture the region over the years. My husband's family is from the area, and we greatly appreciated the small features that made him feel at home. We could stay in the yard to enjoy whales, pods of porpoises, seals, and eagles. Most interesting was the eagle that ate his breakfast on the tree in the yard. The screen-in room off the master bedroom is fantastic and I will have one made for my home now. It is wonderful to be outside but not-really-outside when there are too many bugs at dusk. Thank you, Dennis, for having us.

Great location! The view overlooking the water was beautiful. The house is close enough to downtown that it's easy to walk to the breakwater and shops, but it's far enough away so that you don't hear any of the hubbub (we were there over the Fourth of July). The house was clean and had all of the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. Thanks!

The River House was beautiful. The view from the kitchen, sun room and master bedroom are amazing. You can even see the river from the bed. The entire house is so cute and the decor is wonderful. There's plenty of room for everyone. We were working and I would make dinner for the crew every night and there is a big dining room table. We added the little "puzzle" table to the end; plenty of room for everyone. There are built in gas fire places that made the ambiance very cozy and the living room couch is fabulous. There are many special details in and out. People in town are great and even helped out on the paving job. This is definitely a place where one can enjoy a beautiful home, and relax. It feels like a vacation. We did go kayaking once and I saw a bald eagle, and that was magical. Outside there are cute areas to sit and look at the water with a great firepit. And its dog friendly, a must! Just keep them leashed as the front is on a busy road, but is still feels private.

The house had everything we needed during our stay and the host was very responsive. Located in a quiet, peaceful neighbourhood

I booked this cottage for a group of guys working on a local construction project. They had everything they needed for a comfortable stay near their work site.

Vince's cabin is the ideal retreat! Nestled in a secluded spot, it's just a short walk down a wooded path to the beach. The backyard features a deck overlooking a fire pit, perfect for evening bonfires; Vince thoughtfully provided kindling and firewood. Inside, the cabin has a warm and inviting feel. My daughter described it as "cozy rustic." The beds were comfortable, and the peaceful surroundings ensured I slept wonderfully both nights. Vince has thought of everything you might need during your stay, even a spare toothbrush in case, like one of my children, you forget yours. Vince also went the extra mile by providing breakfast for the first morning, a lovely touch. The internet connection was reliable, and I appreciated the convenience of the washer and dryer. The clawfoot bathtub was perfect for a long, relaxing soak. Overall, I had a fantastic stay and would gladly return if it's available. Vince was prompt in responding to texts and a gracious host. I wholeheartedly recommend

We had such a wonderful 3 night stay here! The cottage is so clean,nicely decorated,spacious and comfortable. The unit for ac/heat works is very fast and efficient. We loved all the sitting areas in and around the cottage,and really enjoyed sitting on the dock for morning coffee and evening cocktails and were lucky to see beautiful sunrises and even a gorgeous moonrise from there one night as well. The kayaks and canoe were such a bonus,and were so fun to tour around the beautiful lake on. It was so quiet and peaceful this time of year and we could even hear the loons on the lake. We also enjoyed exploring some of the trails,towns and restaurants nearby that Tammy suggested in her welcome book. Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise with us,we can’t wait to return! 😊

A slice of paradise! Dennis has thought of everything and the cottage and Campobello Island are beautiful and relaxing. We will return!

Absolutely beautiful, serene, quiet, private location with large windows for the best water view. Cottage is very clean and has everything needed for a relaxing vacation. We especially enjoyed the bonfires and board games. This is our second visit and we look forward to the next.

Tracy’s Maces Bay home was exactly that! A very comfortable and “feel right at home” home. It was stocked with amenities including all types of coffee and tea, which are often not found. The refurbished bathroom is beautiful as well as the sunroom. The view of the tides going in and out is amazing. Tracy was a great hostess and accommodated a great stay at very short notice. We also enjoyed the deer in the yard. A trip to St John’s to see the reversing falls was interesting, as well as eating lobster and wild blueberries nearby.
