Your oceanfront getaway

La Bluefin is a new oceanfront vacation home located in Meteghan, in southwest Nova Scotia, that offers unobstructed 180 degree views of Saint Mary’s Bay and its spectacular sunsets! It is the perfect spot to unwind while listening to the waves crashing below on the rocky cliff and watching the fishing boats pass by, and to recharge after a day of exploring Nova Scotia’s beautiful Acadian Shores.

Had a wonderful, peaceful and relaxing time at this beautiful cottage. The views are spectacular. Decor was beautiful. Sophie had lots of great information in the welcome booklet. Clare is such a beautiful corner of Nova Scotia. Loved exploring and learning more about Acadian culture and food. My parents said great job booking this cottage, the best Airbnb, we have ever stayed in We have stayed at a lot 🙂 I am a photographer and will be posting photos on my IG 902BWPhotography or follow hashtag - [Yes This Is Nova Scotia] 🙂

This is a beautiful spot. We stayed for a week, while visiting family in the area. Normally we stay with relatives, but having our own spot made this more like a vacation as well as a family visit. La Bluefin is beautiful, perfectly decorated with a beach/seaside decor. There are lots of nice touches that you can tell there was a lot of effort and thought put into it. Very well equipped with regards to kitchen equipment, you just need to bring your own food! (FYI lots of great restaurants in the area too ... between family & the restaurants, we didn't eat most of what we took with us). The view is priceless, sitting in the yellow chairs watching the waves in the morning is just such a great way to start your day. It was such a comfortable and relaxing spot all around. Sophie was great to deal with, she responds very quickly to messages (not that we had to message her for anything). We loved it and will definitely stay here again if it's available! Thank you Sophie & JF.

La Bluefin was by far one of the best AirBnbs I have stayed in. Sophie and Jean-Francois have thought of everything. The house has every amenity one could need sand it feels spacious and cosy at the same time. There is much to explore in the area but I was just as happy sitting outside and watching the mind blowing sunsets over the water as I was touring around the area. A truly amazing experience. I can't wait to return!

Absolutely incredible stay. The home itself is fully equipped with everything and anything you may need, and the view speaks for itself - literally left my partner and I breathless. Sophie was an amazing host and even left us a little welcome note and gift, really personalizing our stay. I cant recommend this place enough and cannot wait til we can return again!

This place is amazing. Hands down the best AirBnB weve ever stayed in. The view is gorgeous and visible from every angle in the house. The house itself is thoughtfully designed and has everything you need for a long stay. We stayed for a month and I wish it had been longer. Beds are comfortable, view is amazing, and you can get fresh lobster/scallops/fish in town 5 minutes away. Plus Sophie is an amazing host; super responsive and very informative with everything you need to know about the place.

About the area

Meteghan is located in the municipality of Clare, locally known as “Baie Sainte-Marie”, in the Yarmouth and Acadian Shores region of southwest Nova Scotia. The coastal municipality of Clare stretches for more than 50 kilometers along St. Mary’s Bay, between the towns of Digby and Yarmouth in southwestern Nova Scotia. It was founded in 1768, after the British granted the Acadians the right to return to Nova Scotia after the Deportation on the condition that they relinquish their former lands in the Grand-Pré area. To this day, the majority of Clare’s inhabitants are Acadians and the names of the first families to settle in the area are very common: Dugas, Belliveau, Comeau, Doucet, Saulnier, Robichaud, Melanson… The region is also called the “French Shore” because it is home to the largest Acadian community in the province.

About us

Hello and welcome! We are Sophie and JF, the owners of La Bluefin. Although our Comeau family name is typically Acadian and very common in the region, we are Quebecers. In fact, JF’s father was born and raised in Meteghan, and JF spent his childhood summers here. We continued the tradition with our own children and vacationed in the area for 10 years before getting our own place. This experience allows us to get to know the area as both locals and tourists, and to help our guests make the most of all that southwest Nova Scotia has to offer. St. Mary’s Bay is the best kept secret in the Maritimes, and we are thrilled to help you discover it!

About the name "La Bluefin"

The name of our house comes from the Bluefin Motel that was on our property for about 40 years (“la Bluefin motel” in local Acadian French). It was demolished in the mid 2010’s, but for the locals and even for us, our address remains “the old Bluefin”. We couldn’t imagine calling our property anything else!
