Magical Modern Beach House on Bras D'or Lakes/Surround Deck/Newly Built

Magical Beach House located in Cape Dauphin, in the heart of the Cape. A new 2 level property on the beach with surround deck overlooking the Bras D'or Lakes where you can watch sailboats, lobster boats and wild life and enjoy sea breezes with the smell of the saltwater. The beach is a stone throw away. Private and isolated and away from it all yet a short drive to all the Island has to offer. You are close to so many hikes, North Sydney for groceries, Baddeck with the famous Alexander Graham Bell Museum and shops and restaurants, Gaelic College and the spectacular Cabot Trail. This property was built in 2020 and this will be the first season it will be open for guests. So come and be one of the firsts. We promise it will not disappoint. The cottage is located off the TCH down a well maintained (by the province) gravel road.

Spacious and bright contemporary space with high ceilings and many large windows with spectacular views. The main level boasts new modern kitchen and open concept living area. Large bedroom, full bath, washer/dryer. The kitchen has stylish custom maple cabinets. Main level has maple hardwood throughout and ceramic tile in the bathroom. A custom maple staircase takes you to large loft style second level which has skylights. There are two queen size beds, ensuite full bathroom and large walk in closet. The upper level is engineered floor and ceramic tile in the bathroom.

To bring the outdoors in we have a "screened in" outdoor living space which can be used to relax or dine and a large wrap around deck with modern style glass rails.

Remote Stay in Cape Dauphin
New home very comfortable, right on the cliffs. Beautiful views! Accessible beach. Internet is intermittent - weather dependent. Dirt road into property (9k) is in need of repair.

Awesome Quiet Location
The property was further than we thought from the main highway and the road was rather bumpy and slippery when wet. It's a lovely quiet place with a shoreline path. It was clean & well set up for 2 couples. Oh yes, the internet connection was sporatic so be prepared for that. Thanks Richard for everything!

A wonderful getaway
This cottage on Cape Dauphin is a lovely, spacious, well furnished, and comfortable place to enjoy the beauty of Cape Breton. Its quiet location amidst evergreens overlooking the ocean made it perfect for relaxing. Even on the day it rained I enjoyed just sitting on the screened porch and reading. It's about a half-hour in different directions to the Cabot Trail and the towns of Baddeck and North Sydney, and all the cultural sights and natural vistas we wanted to see and explore. The towns offer excellent but always casual dining, and supermarkets in Baddeck and North Sydney offer anything you'd want to buy to prepare your own meals (stop at one of them for food supplies on your way to the house before you arrive; Richard has provided everything else). The kitchens, bedrooms, and baths are very well equipped, and we appreciated the fullsize washer and dryer. Richard was an excellent host and communicated with us well. With all that we saw and did, we still had lots of time to rest, relax, and enjoy being in a beautiful, calming part of the world--and the house on Cape Dauphin had everything to do with that.

Cut short by Fiona
We loved the property and were looking forward to five relaxing days exploring Cape Breton. Unfortunately, hurricane Fiona's projected track forced us into deciding to leave the island immediately. Our primary concern was being 9km from the highway on a gravel road already showing signs of potholes and washboarding. The host, Richard, was very helpful during our truncated stay. We sincerely hope his property was not damaged by the onslaught of Fiona.

Heaven is a place....in Cape Dauphin
This cottage truly is magical! The property is clean, well-maintained, bright, open, airy, and quiet. The setting itself is amazing - a perfect base for accessing the Cabot Trail, hiking trails, big sandy beaches, the local 'artisan' trail, and local ceilidhs. All of the pictures and descriptions are accurate. The kitchen has basic supplies needed for a cottage stay, and having a washer/dryer was a bonus. Our family of 4 (all 18+) loved having our own private beach for campfires and star-gazing, the screen room for morning coffee, and the deck overlooking the ocean. Check-in and check-out were exceptionally smooth, and our host Richard was very prompt and helpful in answering questions from the initial time of booking, through to the end of our stay. We would DEFINITELY love to return some day!
