Great stay in Port Hood

Wonderful stay in a cottage. We were too couples and each had our bedrooms and bathroom. Amenities as described (loved having washer/dryer). Firepit was a great addition outside. We were able to go see Lobster boats coming in harbour and also drove around to see the sights.Highly recommended!

What a view

Location was great. Space was wonderful, but it would have been nice to have access to the smaller bedroom closet. Part of the reason for booking a house is so you don't have to live out of a suitcase.

My sister and I had an awesome time. Everything exceeded our expectations. We used the lovely backyard patio to watch the most amazing sunsets and stars. The property was clean and very nicely decorated. Nice amenities. Lots of room to relax. It was pretty perfect. Port Hood was a great location. Close to the Cabot Trail. There were really good restaurant options with great food close by. We enjoyed walking the local beaches with great views. There is also a very nice walking trail just outside of town. We would highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful Port Hood

This was an outstanding vacation rental to start off our Cape Breton visit. The property is clean, comfortable and equipped with absolutely everything you might need. All kinds of dishes, cookware, cleaning supplies. Comfortable bed and lots of towels. Nice to have a full sized washer/dryer to prep for the next week of the trip. Quick communication from the owners. Sitting out on the deck with the watching and listening to the ocean waves roll in was wonderful. We walked all the way down to the oceanfront on beautifully maintained lawns. We would gladly have spent the whole summer here.

Absolutely PERFECT

Such an amazing place! I was thrilled to find accommodations with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, as we traveled with friends and each couple wanted some privacy. House is new, comfortably furnished and very stylish. Loved everything inside and out. ALL that you may need is there. Owner is very attentive, and accommodating. We arrived relatively late, and found a perfectly set up place with a beautiful welcome basket and a note. Very much appreciated. The biggest surprise were the views towards the ocean, mesmerizing sunsets and wonderful calm, and quiet stillness of the area. Perfect spot to head out exploring. Oh, and there are beaches just a short stroll away, since you are in Port Hood, Beach Capital of Cape Breton! Thank you Shannon and Family for your hospitality.

Perfect place to stay in a very beautiful area of Cape Breton

The cottage is very clean, new, and airy, and we were provided with pretty much everything that we would need for our stay of five days. It is in a very convenient location close to a grocery store, a pub, a very nice bistro (the Clove Hitch), and a hardware store. The best parts of the Celtic Shores rail trail are very close by. The next-door neighbour who owns the property that goes down to the water encouraged us to walk down and enjoy his space down by the water. (His daughter owns the cottage. ) The sunsets over the water are spectacular. This is a very beautiful part of Cape Breton that we have never explored before. In addition to the rail trail, there are beautiful scenic drives, and hikes on this coast, as well as many lovely beaches and good bird watching! The water was cool, but not icy in mid June and we are told it warms up even more through the summer. A dip at the beach was very welcome after a long bike ride! Be sure you follow the road right up to the top at some point as there are stunning views from the top of Marble Hill Road. The cottage was very suitable for one couple, but has a large second bedroom that could accommodate another couple or two or three other family members. The bathroom at this end of the cottage is larger and has a big soaker tub, which I didn’t get to use as we were there in a heat wave! Overall, I would definitely recommend this place and we are hoping to come back here again, hopefully with friends or family.
