Beachfront holiday rentals in Cape Breton Regional Municipality

The house was perfect for our stay in Glace bay, the nook in the kitchen had a beautiful view of the bay that you could sit and eat breakfast at. The house is right on a main road and we thought there may be issues with noise of traffic travelling through. We were pleasantly surprised that it was very quiet in the bedrooms and didn’t really hear the cars. We will definitely be back.

What a beautiful week we had at this perfect little cottage! We enjoyed our time so much and will be sure to come back if we ever get the chance. Gabarus is pretty and sleepy and we had the best time exploring the surroundings, just behind the cottage, as well as the public Gull Cove Trail nearly. We took advantage of the beautiful fire place to cozy up inside, enjoyed a bonfire outside and even took a quick dip in the sea at the beach close by. The bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen where clean, cozy and more modern than you would expect them to be in a remote little cottage like this. Thank you so much for the amazing stay!

Big Harbour Hideaway is situated on an inlet of the Bras D’Or Lake with little boating activity so it was quiet. The dock is very solid and does not move with the tide, there were four Adirondack chairs on the dock with a few more available near by. Across the inlet is a really nice view of gypsum cliffs. There were bald eagles and even a seal! The house felt comfy and was well stocked with toilet paper, paper towelling, tissue, garbage bags, pots and pans, cutlery, etc. The beds were quite comfortable and although there is no air conditioning the breeze off the water was all we needed to cool the bedrooms at night. Although the house is on a well there was plenty hot water and the water pressure was really good. It felt homelike and it doesn’t get better than that! There is no cable tv, but I believe you can hook up a device to it to watch movies or play games. There is a pretty serious Scrabble game on the coffee table. Baddeck is only 12-14 minutes away by car.

Mark was a phenomenal host; stopped by more than once to check in, say hello, ask if we had any questions or concerns and just chat! Wonderful and thoughtful touches around the cottage that we discovered throughout our time there. Location was a 10/10!! Large, beautiful yard atop lakeside where many fires were enjoyed. Close to lots of hiking trails, shops and quaint restaurants. Can’t speak highly enough about Mark, he even lent us a hiking guide book which we found very helpful and came by on our last evening to say a fair well. Thank you for everything!

Our 2nd trip back to Moe’s place on the famous Mira river. This place is the go to if you’re looking to stay in the Sydney area. Always spotless and comfortable. Lots of towels and well equipped kitchen for swims and bbq. Slept like a baby!! 5 stars

Terra Nova was the perfect retreat for 3 generations - me, my daughter and granddaughter. We found lots to do from walking the beach to exploring nearby attractions and just enjoying the gorgeous surroundings. Eleanor provided so many special touches. We immediately felt welcome. She was available for anything we needed or wanted to know. The Easter bunny even left some unexpected treats. It was very hard to leave. Such an idyllic Easter weekend.

Quant place is an amazing location. Everyone was friendly. It is tucked away at the end of a long dirt road and has a gate to go through. While all the waterfront is private, we were told by a local we could enjoy the beautiful white sand beach. The loft is a little low. It was find for my kids but I’m 6’ and I hit my head. There is a giant screen and a projector which was nice for those rainy nights. The kitchen was well supplied and we appreciated the snacks left for us at check in.

Beautiful view, very clean and had everything you need. Very spacious, great for a family, there was plenty of room for everyone. Only tiny thing was that the twin beds were rock hard, but that wouldn't keep me from going back! Stunning view and well cared for place to stay for your family trip to Cape Breton. Really loved our stay.

Cottage is located in a beautiful location about 15 mins outside of North Sydney. Cottage has everything you need (and more) and has the most spectacular view and easy access to the lake. Road down is a bit bumpy in places so just drive slow and it will definitely be worth the ride. Peaceful and private location at the end of the road. We will definitely be back. Wonderful hosts.

Brilliant place and location. Amazing hosts with some nice personal touches. Can’t recommend it enough. Thank you!

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

From the time we entered the cottage I was impressed So very clean and organized Bedrooms so welcoming and comfy The view was amazing and we so enjoyed being there They went above and beyond and even got us a cooking pot for Lobster and mussels so we could cook outside

We had a wonderful stay at Rahim's place! He is incredibly kind and thoughtful, going above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome. My son especially enjoyed playing with the collection of shells in the house, and Rahim was so generous in offering him a few to take home as a keepsake. The location is also fantastic—just one minute from the highway, making it super convenient to explore the area. Highly recommend staying here!

This was the 2nd year we picked Carol Anns place as the base for a 2 week work trip for our party of 3. Each bedroom was nicely furnished and the kitchen has quality appliances and all the kitchen gadgets and equipment you would likely use in a one to two week stay. There is a washer and dryer with supplies. New from our stay last year is full screening for the front porch which was done at a professional level so a very nice spot to sit and look out at the bay.

Our stay at this property was fantastic! The house was spotless, and it had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The location on the lake was absolutely stunning, and having kayaks available was a wonderful bonus. It made our trip to Cape Breton and the Cabot Trail even more enjoyable. Communication with the host was seamless, with clear instructions and a thorough description provided. We highly recommend this place and would love to stay again!

WOW, WOW, WOW! What an incredible stay at the beach house. From the breathtaking views, to the amazing sleeps in the bunkie to the privacy and of course the outdoor shower! This was an experience everyone needs to have in my books. Plus, Cora is such a heartfelt, kind, responsive host/human. She made our stay as comfortable as possible. Book now, you'll be happy you did ;)
