Family-friendly holiday rentals in Cape Breton Island

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

We had a wonderful stay! James is an excellent host - easy to communicate with and very helpful with anything we needed during our stay. His home is beautiful, spacious, clean, and comfortable. Just a short walk from the beach! Would definitely recommend.

This place is fantastic for getting rid of stress. The service is great, it's super clean and quiet, and the view is amazing. If you want to escape the city, this is a perfect spot – a definite 10 out of 10. I'll definitely be going back!

Great hospitality. We had a great stay. Very clean and loved the hot tub, lake, beach, kayaks and our room was very comfortable and clean. Great complimentary coffee & treat in room!

perfect for a couple. . loved the private hot tub.. very clean and has everything you need to cook. appreciated the proactive approach/communication to a stormy night where power may have gone out.

This was a great little place to stay for 2 months (Feb-april). Daphne was a great host, and was always responsive. Being a winter rental there are always little things that happen and they were fixed right away. The house is an older house in the country and felt peaceful. Internet was fast and the house was warm. Unfortunately we could not walk to the ocean, when the snow melted there was a puddle that you could not go around. Would stay again.

Location, location, location. Such a beautiful, quiet spot on Bras D’or, we spent a lot of time just looking out over the water (it was cold out there, mind you). The cottage is charming and attractively furnished, and the kitchen is well equipped for cooking. Storage space is minimal, but lots of hangers for clothing. The washer and dryer were a real asset. We enjoyed our stay.

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!

Ton was welcoming and amazing host. We loved the place and beautiful ocean views. Would definitely come back.

Fantastic place to stay with great accessibility to the Highlands. Very clean and comfortable will return when the weather is a little better!

The lodge was beautiful. The location was so peaceful and with amazing views. I would love to come back one summer and see the area in a different season. Michael was a fab host and we throughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks so much.

We stayed a full week at Cedar Peak and really enjoyed our time. The cabin sits hillside on a private lot with incredible views. It was the perfect space to call “home” while we explored the island. The interior is just like the photos. Very thoughtfully designed with lots of conveniences - dimmable lights, lots of electrical outlets, extra pillows, ceiling fans, 3 Smart TVs, folding chairs for the deck, and even a welcome basket of snacks and some basic groceries waiting in the fridge. There was really nothing missing! We visited in late October so many restaurants and shops were closed for the season - just something to be aware of. There are grocery stores nearby, including a small one right across the road. About 3 minutes down the road was a cafe called Cafe Les Suetes - would highly recommend looking them up and stopping in - the best meal we had all vacation! Driving the Cabot Trail, visiting Inverness Beach, and hiking Skyline Trail are all must-do activities nearby.

Great place, as advertised thanks for the stay.

This is the 3rd time we have stayed at the Big House. It is a great spot when you have a large group! The location is fantastic, within walking distance to everything and Willie is very accommodating and responsive.

Absolutely loved our stay here! Check-in was a breeze with clear, detailed instructions sent in advance, making it easy to find and get inside. Stewart was incredibly flexible with check-in time — we arrived early since we didn’t stop for sightseeing on our way due to bad weather, and they were more than accommodating. They were also quick to respond to any messages. The place matched the listing perfectly, with all the amenities and services provided as described. It looked just like the photos, which was a pleasant surprise. Stewart visited us in the morning to provide helpful information and local recommendations. Very friendly, and always quick to respond to any questions. The location was stunning, with a beautiful view of the ocean and an amazing sunset view from the deck. The surroundings were peaceful and private, ideal for a relaxing getaway. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, well-kept, and beautifully located stay with a fantastic host!

We had a wonderful time in Cheticamp. John was helpful for suggestions about hiking and restaurants. I would highly recommend his beautiful place.

such a gorgeous & peaceful place to stay! looking forward to our next stay.

A lovely, modern home with a perfect lake view and access to the water! We really enjoyed the design of the home, with tons of windows (but don't stay here if the thought of things watching you from the woods freaks you out! But nothing is watching you...). The living/kitchen area is open and airy, with sliding patio doors that open toward the lake and a deck. Nice wood-burning fireplace. Very functional kitchen, easy to cook in. Well-separated bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms would make this great for a family (or just 2 people, as we were). Infloor heating is nice. Kayaks and other outdoor things available. No TV, but we were OK with that (and used our computer and the fast internet connection when we wanted to watch something). We had not been to Cape Breton before and liked this location - 10 minutes to Baddeck and about 1.5 hrs. to the south end of Cape Breton Highlands National Park (either west or east coast). Lots of hiking near-by, appreciated the host's ideas on that.

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

Beautiful 4 bedroom home with a gourmet kitchen and lots of space. This home was perfect for our group of seven and felt like home as soon as we unpacked. The location is perfect for driving the Cabot Trail, exploring the many trails in Cape Breton Highlands National Park as well as the town of Cheticamp. Sunsets at the beach are a must. Extremely responsive and helpful. We will definitely be coming back. Thank You!

we really enjoyed stay and place was exactly as mentioned.
