Take in the view, take home the memories. Imagine sitting with your morning coffee overlooking the splendid blue ocean, breathing in the sweet scent of the clean salt air while enjoying the playfulness of the humpback whales as majestic icebergs slip slowly by or stand watch at the head of the bay, basking in the sun. You'll get all this and more at Pirates Peek Cottage! Pirate's Peek gets its name from a community legend which tells the story of how pirates once vacated the property. Sitting on one of the highest points in St. Phillips with a panoramic view of Conception Bay, they could keep watch for ships entering the bay. The house, it is said, was built with pirate money and treasure and was constructed mostly of oak with window sills of marble. The house was destroyed by fire in 1962 but ruins of the concrete steps and pillars that once led up to the front of the majestic house still remain. Discover the treasures!
