Cape Breton Oceanfront, Mountain/Sunset Views, Private Beach, Fiber Internet

Experience the beauty of Cape Breton in this lovely Acadian waterfront house on four unspoiled acres overlooking the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Spectacular ocean and mountain views, fabulous sunsets. Private and quiet. Whales, moose, bald eagles, and seals are your frequent companions.

Walk 300 meters down a private pathway to your own ocean beach, with seaside mountain cliffs in the distance. Take a 15-minute walk to the local Acadian bakery for fresh croissants with your morning coffee. Walk 15 minutes to a freshwater lake and river, and nearby playground.

Drive on the famous Cabot Trail, one of Canada's most famous scenic routes, just minutes from our front door. Drive north 5 minutes to the Cape Breton Highlands National Park, with its hiking trails, waterfalls, picnic areas, breathtaking vistas and wildlife.

You'll be a 5-minute drive south to Cheticamp, with its world-famous music, restaurants and seafood. The historic town has a cafe, grocery co-op, farmers market, and liquor store. You can even go on a whale-watching cruise from the marina!

House Details: 3 upstairs bedrooms, and a full-size long sofa bed in downstairs living room. Sleeps 5. One bathroom upstairs with shower. Large deck with ocean views, and a fire pit in the spacious yard. Modern no-charge washer and dryer. Full kitchen with supplies. A 10,000 BTU portable air conditioning unit is available for use downstairs. All windows have screens and can open/latch.

Free high-speed 1.5Gb/s fiber internet -- sufficient for video conferencing and streaming. Spacious outdoor parking and available Tesla EV charger. Note: there is no television or dishwasher. There is a floodlight/security camera facing the driveway only.

Caretakers Roger and Priscille live in the area (Roger was born in this very house!). They will meet new arrivals and be available for any and all questions and assistance in English or in French.

We hope you will choose to stay in our beautiful Acadian cottage!

Charming, cozy cottage in a beautiful spot
A lovely cottage with everything we needed. This is the last house on a lane through a neighborhood, so there's just a short stroll down a path before you get to the beach. A very nice, comfortable place to stay.

Ooo Lah Lah!!
This was one of the finest places we have stayed! It was perfect for us: no frills or fanciness, but some really fine, classy details, like wonderful dishes and silverware, amazing windows with a fantastic view that were easy to open and close (and provided great ventilation), comfy furniture, everything you could ever need in a place, and a fine washer and dryer. Also, five minutes to a rock and sand beach past a wetland and some small fields and down a wooded path that for a birder like me, was pure, unadulterated heaven. We fell in love the moment we opened the door, and it never wavered the entire five days we were there, awaiting Hurricane Lee and stealing hikes in the Cape Breton National Park when we could, and eating AuCoin baked goods when we could not. And the visit from the caretakers, Roger and Priscille, just added to our admiration for this place as they were wonderful people who were instantly friendly and kind. He fixed a door that was stuck and she regaled us with tales…we loved it! The only downside to this terrific gem of a small place: it is not for tall people upstairs! The ceiling where the bedrooms and the bathroom are, are sloped and one has to adapt pretty fast or risk bopping your head all the time. I am 5 feet tall and I had to adapt! But the bathroom is decent sized and the shower works fine and the beds are small but comfy, so we are not complaining. We would go back in a heartbeat. It is a place of character and the love involved with its pores.

Overall this property was good. Lovely location close to town and trails along the Cabot Trail. Beds were very uncomfortable, could use new bigger beds. Kitchen well stocked with all utensils etc.

Delightful cottage in great location
A quaint cottage in an excellent location! Host communicated quickly and effectively, too. A short path leads you to a gorgeous rocky beach with amazing vista of the highland cliffs/Cabot Trail. Very private setting but close to everything. Make sure you check out Last Chance Sandwich and Freya and Thor's just down the road from the cottage.

Top marks from a frequent VRBO client
Moving to this house is like going home. Everything you need in your day to day life is there: kitchen pots and pans, ustensiles, soaps and detergents, appropriate washer/dryer, towels, dish rags, blankets. Windows open and lock, heating is efficient if needed. Tesla charger is cherry on Sunday Only one small improvement suggested: lubricants for the locks on the front and back doors. Pierre

Wonderful Home
We completely enjoyed our stay in this lovely home during the first week of October. The home is quirky, authentic to the area, simple, and lovely. The best feature, other than a comfortable, friendly great room downstairs, is the location. The view off the back deck is amazing. And the home is just a short, easy stroll to a lovely stone-covered beach you get all to yourselves. The colorful beach stones were our main reason to visit, as I am a collector. So this could not have been a more perfect location for us. The house itself sits on a sheltered knoll overlooking a saltwater pond with water fowl. It is seperated enough from neighbors to offer privacy, but with other homes closeby so it does not feel isolated. When we wanted to venture farther, we were very close to the national park entrance in one direction and convenient to restaurants and the grocery store in Cheticamp in the other direction. We very much enjoyed our visit.

What a special property! We loved it so much. The beach was a short walk away, but even just the view from the deck was perfect. The house had everything we needed and more.

Great for relaxing after a day of activity
Cottage is simple but all you could need - and a interesting collection of books! However the outside space makes this place special - fab location for enjoying sunsets and evenings by the firepit.

Nearby beach extraordinary
The view of the ocean, sunsets from lawn were just as portrayed, walk to beach, all to ourselves, each morning was precious. Collection of literature, especially Russian, on premises was extraordinary.
