Boat house on the sea.

MarkRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Great spot for rest while traveling on Cabot Trail. Perfect location and idealic setting right in the water. In negative that comes to mind is that we checked in after dark and the entrance was dark bc the overhead door light was burned out. Otherwise, exactly as described.

4 Bedroom Waterfront Home on South Shore

VernonRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We had the pleasure of staying at Meghan and Marc's Airbnb once again, and it was another fantastic experience. Just like our previous stay, they were excellent at communicating and made sure everything was clear and easy from start to finish. Their place was spotless, exactly as shown in the photos, and incredibly comfortable. After long days of work, it was the perfect retreat to relax and unwind. We truly appreciate the attention to detail and hospitality, and without a doubt, we’ll be back again for another stay! Highly recommend!

We were celebrating a 50th birthday with a spa day nearby. The 4 bedrooms was a dream! The house had all we needed and then some. The host was amazing from beginning to end. Responsive. Proactive. Friendly. We spent 2 stormy nights and we're cozy the whole time. Thanks for the great weekend.

Surf House - a beachside paradise

KathiRating, 5 stars6 months ago
The house was amazing. Very remote and quiet. But only 30 minutes to busier locations with shopping, restaurants, etc. Within 10 minutes, RoseBay Bistro & Market and Dear Emma Pizza (incredible!) provide all you need otherwise. The beach is incredible. Sitting in the chairs at the edge of the beach, over the dunes, is the perfect spot for morning coffee or a happy hour cocktail! The house design is like a piece of art - the many levels and nooks make it a very unique experience. It is well furnished with all sorts of things you might want to enjoy your stay. Very thoughtful. We look forward to a return visit.

We were in the area visiting family and friends. The cottage was on a beautiful waterfront.

Just a ferry ride away to brier island, we visited pond cove (beach), western light has a breathtaking sunset, nothern light has nice walking trails and we had drinks and a delicious meal at Chetwick's !!

Harbour House - Halls Harbour Waterfront Getaway

TrishRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
A Charming Stay in Halls Harbour We had an amazing stay at this charming home built in 1835! The house is beautifully decorated, incredibly clean, and offers a perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort. The beds were very comfortable, and there was plenty of seating for our group to relax and enjoy. Our mom getaway weekend was made even better by the well-equipped space and the fantastic hot tub—such a treat! Everything we needed was provided, making our stay effortless and enjoyable. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a cozy, comfortable, and well-maintained retreat. We would absolutely stay here again!

The Port Maitland Beach house

PaigeRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Gorgeous property. Better than photos convey. Decor is very tasteful, bathroom large and beautiful shower. Everything was done thoughtfully and professionally. Hosts were very responsive and clear. We got some snow during our stay and they were on top of having everything shoveled. Stayed for Christmas while visiting family and couldn’t get over how cozy the place was. I felt like I was staying in the Nova Scotian version of Kate Winslet’s cottage from “the holiday”. Would be gorgeous in the summer too.

“Ocean’s 18”-Cabot Trail Oceanfront Cottage

KarenRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Fred was very responsive and helpful. The place was exactly as described, with a nice balcony with a view of the water. It was very comfortable and well equipped. We really appreciated that it was stocked with coffee and tea, and that there was laundry detergent available. The whole apartment was in pristine shape, and Ingonish Beach is a great place to base yourself when visiting Cape Breton Highlands National Park.

Gillies by the Sea Apartment

AnnieRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Catherine’s place is in a spectacular setting with stunning views out to sea. We received a wonderfully warm welcome from Catherine. Do not miss sitting in the sunroom looking out to sea and chilling. The apartment is spotless clean. The bed is comfortable and the bathroom a lovely size. If you are looking to get away from it all, this is a great place to do it. We wish we could have spent more time there We ate at the Red Shoe pub about a 15 minute drive away. Food was decent and live music on the Friday was very enjoyable. You do need a car to stay here but if you’re travelling around Cape Breton, you will already know that Catherine & Francis took the time to give us some great recommendations and places to stop around the Cabot Trail. Catherine also baked us some extremely good cake that was fantastic with our morning coffee. I’d highly recommended staying here
