Family-friendly vacation rentals in Sydney

Hey Ammy It was the great experience for us also all the amenities was greatly managed I’ll definitely suggest my all friends to go with this cottage hopefully I’ll see you in next summer Thanks Ammy

Fantastic place for our annual girls get away! 4 of us girls each had our own place to sleep. Amazing kitchen with everything you need. I loved the open concept with breathtaking views!! I could even keep an eye on my 70 year old Mom who was fishing off the dock while I was busy in the kitchen lol We will definitely be going back ♥️

Thank you for your kindness and your welcome. Paradise place.

Cabot shores was an amazing family trip. The beach and the views are incredible. The live music was so much fun. Would recommend to anyone

Beautiful and peaceful location. Wonderful host and super responsive and polite. Cottage was super cozy and very clean.

This place is absolutely stunning!! The views of the lake are unreal , like something out of a magazine. The hottub/sauna overlooking the lake and the short , well lit walking trails to get there are like your in a fairy tale. The host is super accomidating. I cannot wait to come back! We had an amazing stay! Would recommend 10/10 👌

This place was absolutely beautiful. We were fortunate the rain stayed away until late in the evening so we enjoyed the beautiful sunny day. Hit the town for a relaxing walk before retreating to the chalet for a nice bbq and drinks on the patio as we watched all the boats passing by on the water. The inside was immaculate and the hot tub was an amazing way to end the night. Our host was quick to respond to questions and we couldn’t have asked for anything better. Was a great way to spend a 1 year anniversary 😊

This is a great place to relax! Extremely quiet, spectacular view and plenty of space for a family of 4 to 6 to spread out and chill. The private beach is a nice added touch and Baddeck is only a 2 minute drive, but I wouldn’t walk there, cars drive a little fast down that road and there’s no sidewalk. Tyler was a great host, explained everything perfectly, right down to recommending water shoes for the private beach ( which we had). There’s also a nice listing of local places and lots of brochures so you can find stuff to do. It was ~25 degrees when we stayed and it gets nice and cool at night so not having A/C isn’t a problem. There are so many windows that open in so many directions, you’ll catch a breeze.

We really enjoyed our stay. Very nice place with everything we looking for as a cottage. Price was fair, location at the Ocean shore was perfect. Quiet place. Communication was easy with host. Nothing to complain about. If we come back in the area, we will not hesitate to use this place again. I highly recommend it.

We had the best time at River Nest Cabins! My husband, 5 month old daughter and I only stayed for a night and have decided to return next year for a longer stay because we enjoyed it so much. Beautiful cabins, very helpful host, very serene location. We’ve already recommended this place to a few of our friends!

Lovely home, privately situated next to the sea. The views were spectacular. The home was very neat and clean and very well maintained. It wasn't too far from the town of Baddeck where we got provisions and visited very good restaurants. We loved our stay at this home. Richard did a good job as our host. Thank you!

This place is amazing! The cabin was super clean, the self-check in went smoothly and there is even a sauna!

Kim's home is comfortable and spacious and had what we needed to cook and relax. There is some noise from the road, which is close by, but it's fairly quiet at night.

Gem of a spot! Close to the convenience of Baddeck but with your own stunning lake view from the porch/your bed and private beach access...worth the trail walk! Theresa, Dave, and Jack were great and ready to help with any of our needs!

Such a peaceful place to relax and de-stress from the everyday nonsense, while having lots to do in beautiful Cape Breton all around you

Five stars plus. We’ve stayed at Airbnb’s elsewhere in Canada and in various places in Europe -but this place put the rest to shame. Our super host, Paula, has a keen sense of colour, an appreciation of comfortable furnishings arranged in an artful way and an excellent understanding of what to have on hand, in terms of cooking utensils and accessories, to fully make her house your home. The house, literally sets across the road from a quiet harbour, offers superb views from every window, and is close enough to several towns to fascilitate grocery plus wine/beer shopping. We had a truly delightful week and were sad to say goodbye. Joan and Phil

Super cosy, very comfortable spot! Wished the fireplace worked, but was very warm even without it

Beautiful sunrises over the water. Loved being right on the Cabot Trail!

Beautiful view. Well equipped and clean. We had a fabulous time in the area. Woke up to a rainbow one morning!

Courtney’s place is lovely. It is right in the center of Baddeck and has everything you need to enjoy your stay.

We stayed at Betty-Jo's listing for more than 2 months. The place is well equipped with pretty much everything we needed, kitchen, bedroom, laundry, etc. It is very clean and free of clutter. It is a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood, which we really appreciated while doing night shifts at times. Betty-Jo is a great host, making sure we had everything we needed and more. we definitely plan to stay at her place if we have the opportunity to work in Cape Breton again. Farmer the dog was a cherry on top, saying hi to us from time to time.

What a beautiful place! We loved the cottage and its location was wonderful for our exploration of this part of Cape Breton. It was only about 40 minutes to Baddeck and 1:45 to Fortress Louisbourg. It was well equipped and spacious - perfect for the four of us. The loft was great for my 18 year old nephew who was up later than the rest and the other two bedrooms are at opposite sides of cottage - great for sleeping! Unfortunately, it was grey and rainy for most of our stay so we did not get to enjoy the patio much at all. It must be wonderful in the sunny weather, though! The screened in area was great (we did get an hour without rain one evening). There was lots of room for us inside to hang out during the rainy days and the big windows with the view of the lake made being inside not so bad! The property feels very private. Even though there is a trailer park nearby, we were completely unaware of it when at the cottage. Not much close by but be sure to eat at Charlene’s!

It was the perfect home base for 4 days of touring Cape Breton. Perfectly located to drive the Cabot Trail in either direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise) and we did both. Convenient, comfortable, and cozy for our family trip. Communication was superb, with John providing thorough info not only about the guest house, but also providing great insight into the area. Pat met us upon arrival and showed us around the guest house. Couldn't ask for better location or hosts. Thanks for a helping make a great family vacation for us!
