About this property
Spectacular oceanfront on the cliffs of Cape Breton with a private beach
The Sailor`s Rest House is located on an island on the island of Cape Breton in the east of the island of Nova Scotia, more precisely on the charming, Franco-Canadian Isle Madame in eastern Canada. Halifax International Airport is easy e.g. B. from Frankfurt in 6-7 hours direct flight several times a week. (The property is listed here twice, the rental price varies due to the exchange rate on the Canadian portal)
Originally built by the first settlers in the mid-eighteenth century, the Sailor`s Rest house has recently been fully renovated and now offers a comfortable, bright ambience with great attention to detail. Furniture made of driftwood complements the new IKEA furniture for European requirements, e.g. B. the large 1.90 mx 2 m pull-out bed in the bedroom with high-quality Visco mattresses made of memory foam (Tempur). Modern, environmentally conscious heat pumps, air conditioning technology, 220V sockets and more. give an immediate sense of wellbeing at home in one of the most exposed, wildest places in Canada. The house has 3 bedrooms, whereby we lock our personal things in one room, because there may be a comfortable pull-out bed and an Ikea sofa in the living room.
The name Sailor's Rest comes from the fact that we sailed here across the Atlantic in 2012/13 and feel so comfortable here that we stayed and immigrated.

About the host
Hosted by Bob

We came across the Atlantic and immigrated in 2012 to enjoy sailing on our 70-square-meter sailing catamaran with our guests on a modern 12-meter (38`) catamaran. We love to explore the numerous dreamy bays, swim and get our dinner ourselves, fishing mackerels and collecting mussels.
After living aboard for a few years we make a rest and renovated our private Sailor`s Rest House with lots of love.

Why they chose this property
„Sailor’s Rest is a one-of-a-kind piece of paradise on the open ocean in Nova Scotia fulfills your dream. The house is mere feet from the ocean, with uninterrupted views of the ocean, the cove and marine wildlife. It is a well-furnished and comfortable house with an excellent king-sized bed (the only house with one on the ocean in Nova Scotia/Cape Breton that you could find!). It is great to have a fully functional and stocked kitchen to cook in, along with a brand-new washer and dryer for laundry mid-trip. Spent hours on the front porch watching the ocean, reading and relaxing under the handy outdoor umbrella. When the weather didn’t permit this, you are able to cosy up on the huge couch to watch the storms through the big front window, which is just as lovely.
