Well appointed accommodation, good location in Cheticamp

When my wife picked out this unit, I had reservations because it is downstairs. Despite being downstairs, there are views of the Cheticamp harbor from 2 bedrooms and it is extremely well furnished, including dishwasher and washer/dryer, well designed and well maintained. Owner was extremely responsive and helpful. Additional pluses include a storage shed—we kept our bicycles there, it’s walking distance from several good restaurants and two venues with live music. A pleasant boardwalk along the harbor starts across the street. A downside is that the patio is in the back with views of the parking area, and the police station (we felt secure, however, because of proximity to police). Overall we had a great stay—I’d definitely stay here again!

Fantastic accommodations

Fantastic accommodations for a family. Everything you need . Great location, spotless and easy check in process. Don’t let the idea of staying in a basement fool you. It was bright and comfortable . Heat pump keeps the place warm or cold, whatever you like. Would highly recommend.

Perfectly clean apartment! Really recommend it!

We where overwhelmed with the nice and so clean apartment. There was also a book with all things to do in the area, and the history of chéticamp. We where with 4 kids. The rooms are big enough, good beds for 6 people. You can not get a better stay.

Why they chose this property

This property is very important to me because it is in the area where I was born & raised.

I bought this property in 2017 from Emilie Burns, who lived next door to us when we were brought up. She sold her house to me because she was moving to a Nursing Home. Her house is now also being rented out as a vacation home under the name "Waterfront Cheticamp Vacation Home".

I decided to build a 2nd house in 2020-2021 on Emilie's property because I was looking for a project for retirement. This 2nd house is behind Emilie Burns' house. It is rented out as a vacation home under the name "Sunset & Water View Cheticamp Vacation Home - Units 1 & 2".

What makes this property unique

You can go outside and see Amazing Sunsets & Magnificient View of Cheticamp Harbour (these are only partially visible from inside the unit because unit is downstairs)
