MacLeod Cove: secluded cottage with private shore
We stayed two nights at McLeod cove and it was lovely! Everything was clean, comfortable and on a beautiful spot! I asked questions right before our teip and Shelia was so quivk to respond and very helpful! Would definitely recommend staying here to tour around CB!

Seaside Serenity! 5 minutes from canso causeway
The place was perfect for our needs, would recommend, thank you!

Laura's Landing Seaside Escape
Hubble & I just spent 4 days at Laura's Landing. We were on Isle Madame to visit old friends & do some sightseeing. The house is great - very clean, well-provisioned, & in a terrific location - just a 5-minute walk from Pondville Beach. The few near neighbours seemed friendly & quiet, and there was almost no traffic since the house is essentially at the end of a road. The master bedroom was especially comfortable - with soft sheets, warm bedding, & a perfectly firm mattress. The other beds seemed comfy as well. The dining room was spacious & inviting - a good place to gather with loved ones over a meal! Water views from inside the house were limited unfortunately, but views from the yard & deck would be lovely in warmer weather. Guests may want to know that cell service can be a bit unreliable at times but the wifi works great. In summary, we enjoyed our time at Laura's Landing & would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing home base on Isle Madame! Thanks so much Daphne!

Beach Bliss, Great View
This is a dream location. There are lots of windows to fill up with spectacular views of the ocean. The cottage is lovely and comfortable with an open space to unwind and soak up the beauty of the place. Lots of necessities in tge cupboards. All you need for an unforgettable stay.

Magical Memories on the Bras d'Or
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!

Cabot Trail Cozy Cottage Seaside
We stayed a week in Nadene’s cottage in Ingonish and it was perfect for us. The location is excellent and the proximity to the beach and views are exceptional. The cottage is equipped with everything you need for cooking or grilling and the satellite TV was a bonus. We’ve stayed at a number of places over the years in Ingonish area and none are better than Nadene’s. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Sandcastle in the Hood
Very cozy and beautiful beach right down the road with beautiful sun sets

The Sleeping Moose Cottage
Ton’s cabin is great, nestled in a beautiful location, and Ton is always an excellent host

Waterfront homestead on 4 landscaped acres.
Our family's return visit was wonderful. The comfortable surroundings, peaceful ambiance, and delightful welcome basket were thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Wild Rose | Beachfront, Off-Grid Cabin- 1 Queen
Lovely place right on the water. Will return next time I am in CB.

Spacious and Modern Oceanfront Retreat
We found Nicola’s place to be a perfect location from which to start each day whether we wanted to go in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction for our travels on and around the Cabot trail. The house itself was very clean, well-maintained, and on a lovely lakeside parcel. A family of otters enjoyed breakfast at the same time we did one morning. Fishing season was closed for us, but not for them. All three of them dined and heartily!

LUXE Beachfront Estate near Golf Ski & Yacht club
Fantastic place in big pond. Out of the way with plenty of room to relax. Highly recommend for a quiet summer stay.

Explore the cape and stay at Maritime Memories
Great host. Peaceful place to stay with family. saw a lot of deers in the area. highly recommend

Cabin Life
This place is a gem for anyone looking to relax, let go, and keep it simple. Which we were. We also appreciated the food and drinks Kent provided. We hope to return.

Oceanfront Cottage (LeBlanc Chalet)
Overall the place was great, it was clean and the views from the living/kitchen area were fantastic. We were lucky enough to catch quite a sunset from the deck overlooking the ocean, it was nice.

Central Bras D’or Chalet - Your own Sand Beach
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!
Beachfront home rentals with a hot tub

Birch - Luxury 2BR Cottage w/ Scenic Views Hot Tub
Wonderful place to stay. We met some less than ideal weather for adventuring with our 2 year old and couldn’t have picked a better spot to lay low for a couple nights. The space is beautiful and yet the setting steals the show. The team is working very hard to ensure the experience of staying at Ridge on the Chimney is a once in a lifetime.

Blissful Beachfront Bungalow beach-hot tub-sauna
This home and location were stellar. The view was lovely. The bed was cozy and the soap and shampoo were nice in that they were not heavily scented. Loved the beach walks

The Hydrofoil Hanger on Baddeck Bay
The place is exactly like the photos. Not shown: There is a place to hang your clothes and some hangers provided. This is located downstairs on the first floor. There were extra towels and large ones for the hot tub. There are large transom windows above the sliding doors facing the water that allow a beautiful view from everywhere in the house.

Happy House Oceanfront Private
Thank you for your kindness and your welcome. Paradise place.

The Green Chalet and Hot tub at Cabot Shores
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

Hot tub, Kayaks, fishing & Ocean Front Cottage!
We had a wonderful stay at Julian’s place! The hosts were incredibly communicative and helpful throughout our visit. The home is exactly as described and shown in the photos - a very old house with plenty of charm, but exceptionally clean. It was the perfect spot for our large group attending a nearby basketball tournament, allowing us all to stay together comfortably. The hot tub was a fantastic bonus, whether to relax after a long day or kick-start the morning. We’d definitely stay here again!

Acadian family home.
Jennie and Guy were amazing hosts. They were extremely helpful and accommodating. Their cozy home has ample space on the main level for indoor living if you ever needed a break day. The deck is large and private and probably my favourite part of the house. The kitchen is extremely well stocked which made cooking away from home an enjoyable experience. The home gets a great breeze from the ocean which kept things cool on the inside and left us with no bugs on the outside! Jennie and Guy provided some excellent tips for things to do in the area and we used the home as a jump off point to see many other fun things in Cape Breton. While not immediately on the ocean, you can still see it from the deck and they were happy to share their kayaks and paddle board with us. A very nice perk which you won't find in many places. The little island is picturesque with lots of beautiful scenery to explore. The local beach was sandy and warm and the two pubs we went to were quite nice as well. Overall, I would highly recommend it. The value for money was extremely fair and we had a great experience overall. Thanks for the memories!

Oceanfront Oasis, 2 Bdrms and hot tub
A perfect little spot for a girls' getaway. Matthew came down to meet us (because I totally forgot about check in details) and gave us a quick rundown of everything. The hot tub was great, and we could see seals and eagles out on the ice. Very quiet and private, very clean and modern. Everything we needed was there, and when we had a delicious meal at the Groundswell just next door, Matthew was kind enough to send us away with cream and coffee that we forgot to bring. Definitely would recommend this place!
