Some homes give you an address. Others give you a destination. Welcome to Ocean Bay View, an extraordinary oceanfront estate overlooking the sheltered waters of Petpeswick Inlet, where every day feels like an escape and every gathering becomes an occasion. Originally envisioned as a luxury executive residence, Ocean Bay View was designed for connection. A place where generations come together, friends linger long after sunset, and weekends effortlessly become lasting memories. While it currently operates as a successful boutique hospitality retreat, its heart has always been that of an exceptional waterfront home—one that can easily return to its original purpose. Every space draws you toward the water. Morning coffee in the sun-filled solarium. Afternoons spent boating from your private launch and 70-foot pier. Evenings gathered around the shoreline as the western sky paints the harbour in colour before retreating to the warmth of the hot tub, sauna or steam room. Inside, more than 4,000 square feet unfolds with comfort and flexibility in mind. Five beautifully appointed ensuite bedrooms, an additional private guest suite, generous gathering spaces, and a welcoming billiards lounge ensure family and guests can come together while still enjoying privacy and quiet retreat. Beyond the main residence, a detached bonus building provides endless possibilities as a guest house, home office, artist's studio or private retreat. Whether your vision is an extraordinary family estate, a multi-generational waterfront escape, or an established luxury hospitality opportunity, Ocean Bay View offers something increasingly rare—a home that becomes the place everyone looks forward to returning to. Because the greatest luxury isn't simply owning the waterfront. It's creating the place no one wants to leave.
