Our Port Joli Beach House

Emsik Beach House is a truly private holiday retreat. Built at the end of small cove along the shores of Port Joli Harbour, Queens County, this one and a half storey beach house offers everything  you imagined in a Nova Scotia vacation. Breathtaking sunsets, spectacular ocean views and 5000 feet of white, sandy beach await you. Available for weekly rental only, Emsik Beach House is the perfect place for a romantic getaway or a relaxing escape from the city.

The warm water and sandy shoreline offer great sun bathing and swimming opportunities; the abundance of shorebirds and harbour seals are a delight to nature lovers and birders; and the close proximity to hiking trails within provincial and national parks* all provide for a memorable vacation experience.

Designed to comfortably accommodate a single person, couple with two children or two couples, the beach house is tastefully furnished and fully equipped. The inclusion of satellite television, a well-stocked library with plenty of local reference material, two washrooms, a large changing room and shower, a queen size bed and a double futon, wood and electric heat and a propane barbecue all help to complete the picture. 

*Emsik Beach House is a 5 minute drive from spectacular Kejimkujik National Park (Seaside Adjunct) and about 15 minutes by kayak (across the harbour) from The Thomas Raddall Provincial Park. Both wilderness parks are among the best in Atlantic Canada.

'Emsik' is the Mi'kmag name for Port Joli, meaning "blown along by the wind." Several thousand Mi'kmag Indians summered in Port Joli until the late 18th century.

As the photograph suggests the large beach house is less than 50 feet from the water and for those so inclined, a kayaking tour of the area can be arranged right from the premises.

The beach house is a large, one and a half story structure with two decks, two large bedrooms, two large three piece bathrooms (one outside, one in), an outside shower and changing room and a well-stocked library (yes, library) containing  numerous novels and local reference material. The house comes complete with satellite TV, internet connection, a propane barbecue and wood and electric heat.

It is a safe place to swim and a wonderful area to sea kayak, scuba dive, hike, or sunbath in privacy. Bring  down the propane barbecue, add a spectacular sunset and several fresh lobster (that can be purchased nearby), and you have the makings of a memorable day in beautiful Nova Scotia.
Click HERE for larger image. There are literally dozens of white, sandy beaches in Queens County. Some visitors suggest that the pristine, beaches of the region are among the best in North America. Pictured here is Carter's Beach in nearby Port Mouton, about a 10 minute drive from the beach house. Carter's Beach is stunning, the water crystal clear; great for sea kayaking, swimming and testing your photographic skills.
