Saltwater Living

We had originally planned to go on a cruise this winter, but since I got pregnant we had to cancel due to concerns about contracting Zika virus down south. Since I cancelled the trip, I've been itching to go on a vacation but obviously our options were limited. So instead of going on a week long trip somewhere, we decided to just rent a cottage for two nights just to get away and relax for a little bit. Andrew and I love exploring Newfoundland and just going for quick little trips whenever we find time.

I found this place (Ocean Delight Cottages) online over the summer when I was googling cabins to stay at for a last minute trip. Unfortunately, the cabin I wanted was full so we decided to stay at Kilmory Resort in Swift Current, NL instead.

Ocean Delight Cottages is located in Whiteway, NL which is only about an hour away from St. John's. It's an ideal location if you don't want to travel too far from the city but are looking for somewhere to go just to get away for a little bit. There's a lot more to do around here in the summer than in the winter, but we were quite content with staying inside (especially, since we came here in the middle of a snowstorm) and enjoying the close up views of the Atlantic Ocean.

We chose to stay in the Cranberry Cottage which is their newest and biggest cottage. It is a beautiful A-frame with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully stocked kitchen (it even has a dishwasher!), two decks, a private fire pit, BBQ, a soaker tub in the master suite, and a wicked view of the ocean.

I'd love to one day build a cabin of our own that looks just like this one.

Here are a few pictures of the cottage:
