Our stay was exceptional. The oceanfront cottage offered breathtaking views from the gazebo, where we spent countless peaceful moments.

A heartfelt thank-you to our wonderful hosts for sharing this slice of paradise with us. We felt welcomed and cared for throughout our stay. We highly recommend this cottage to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat by the ocean.

Cute little cabin with great features and amenities — but the location is the real treasure: truly one in a million.Our family spent hours in the water, catching sea creatures, spotting bald eagles, and soaking in phenomenal sunsets.It’s peaceful, secluded, and beautifully maintained. We especially enjoyed making use of the gazebo.The cabin is also well situated for exploring Cape Breton, with Antigonish just a short drive away for groceries and restaurants.Inside, the cabin was clean and well appointed. One note: the upstairs sleeping area is accessed from inside via a ladder-style staircase that pulls down from the ceiling, but there’s also an outdoor option via regular stairs from the back deck. The only other bed is the couch in the living room. The listing makes this clear, but it’s worth reiterating.Finally, Steve was a phenomenal host. From the extras provided in the shed to his detailed and thoughtful communication, he made our trip even easier and more enjoyable. Thank you, Steve! We can absolutely see ourselves returning in the future.

A treasure, a relaxing get away with all the amenities

This is a wonderful place to stay. We did not want to leave. A secluded cottage with a private beach with the provision of outdoor games, kayaks, bikes, an outdoor firepit and incredible sunsets. A wonderful family location or just if one wants to escape.

Great private location right on the water

We had an amazing week spending time on the beach, swimming, catching mackerel and stripped bass right off shore, searching for shells, and evenings by the fire. Cottage was small but clean and had everything you need. We loved the small charcoal bbq for cooking food right in the beach. Would definitely recommend to others!

East Coast Treasure

We had a wonderful stay at this quaint little cottage. The property has so much to offer. We enjoyed walks on the beach, campfires, a little fishing, and the boys even took a cold plunge into the ocean. The place was perfect for our Thanksgiving celebration. We enjoyed the tranquility and spectacular views of St. Georges Bay. A huge thanks to Steve who was so wonderful at answering all of my text messages. Your place is quite special!

Gorgeous spot and thoughtful host!

My husband and I (and our dogs) very much enjoyed our stay at this beautiful location on the water! The weather was less than perfect due to the tropical storm that came through, but we were still able to take in the amazing scenery of the area and especially loved biking along the Celtic Shores Coastal Trail out of Port Hawkesbury. Steve was a very caring host, checking on us on a regular basis to make sure we were ok after the storm, and even his neighbors were thoughtful enough to check! We were sad to leave on the final day when the sun finally came out, but it was a great start to our journey to Cape Breton! Thank you again Steve!

Rest and relaxation

The property is secluded and spacious and feels very comfortable. Steve was very easy to get a hold of and if anything was ever needed was very helpful in solving the situation. The beach part of the roadway is basically made of rocks but my dodge challenger did fine getting across it. My son and I took advantage of a fishing charter that was mentioned and happened to be available. That does not disappoint either, the guys were friendly helpful and lots of fish were caught it a short period of time. The beach it's self was also made of more rocks than sand so a pair of crocks were very useful. The ocean is shallow in front of the cottage so low tide gave way to some exploring which was pretty cool. I would definitely stay here again.

Incredible

We wanted to spend a quiet week on the ocean and visit family in the area. This was an incredible property for our 1 week stay. The private beach is literally a stones throw from the cottage. The gazebo with a picnic table had an amazing 180 degree view of the coastline. Our standard poodle loved the property.
