Spectacular Beach House on the Ocean- Peaceful

Beach house in the very secluded community of Cape Dauphin off the beaten path. Compact with open concept kitchen and dining area 1.5 bath. Two levels, with the main floor bedroom with a double bed and three single beds in the spacious loft. The sofa also opens to a bed. Baths on the main level and loft level. Hardwood floors throughout, with tile in the bathrooms. High 10 ft ceilings give the house an open feeling. Lots of floor to ceiling windows which provide beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Very bright, spacious feel to the interior. Private ocean beach and lagoon in your front yard, watch the fishing boats set and haul their traps, see the seals and eagles and birds.

If you do not see dates open that you require, please keep checking due to the uncertainty that our calendar keeps changing as people make changes to their travel plans.

The host and interior of the cottage were fantastic. The deck needs a lot of improvement. Someone had stained the floor very carelessly with stain all up the outside wall. The 7 km drive into the property was terrible and speed for most of the time had to be 5-10 kph. This was not the renter's doing and I feel sorry for them for that. We were well treated and interior was well supplied, clean and comfy

Great Getaway
We stayed for three nights and the cottage with loft had everything you would want. A half hour from Beddeck, and it’s amazing scenery and eateries. We used the cottage as a base to explore Cabot Trail and took the Englishman ferry to connect to the Trail. Very convenient. There is a 9 km gravel road but it is well maintained and skirts a bay. Would stay again. 😊😊😊

If youre looking for a quiet place with a beautiful ocean view away from the city, this is perfect. They even mowed a path down to the beach below. Great walk and so quiet. Highly recommend and it was close enough to Sydney that we could drive in to do what we needed.

The perfect getaway!
We had a wonderful week in Cape Breton Island exploring the Cabot Trail and the area surrounding the Beach House. We learned of the history of New-Campbellton and the Cape Dauphin driving and walking the gravel road, and learned even more when taking the Bird Islands tour that passes directly in front of the cottage. The house has a fantastic view, from its porch and from the beach. We took a couple of hours walking the beach where we saw a couple of seals peaking their heads out of the water. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay there. Thanks Richard for being a part of this wonderful week spent in our very first visit to Nova-Scotia!

Great perch at water's edge
The location is stunning -- right above a private beach with direct access to both sea swimming and freshwater swimming. Lovely breezes off the water. Easy access to Baddeck and the Cabot Trail. Tara and Anabella, who were staying right next door, could not have been more accommodating -- providing everything we needed and checking on us often to make sure things were good. The house is compact, but very well planned and laid out. We had a delightful stay.

Perfect for nature
We had a wonderful time staying at this secluded spot in Cape Dauphin. The house looks out over a lake, an inlet and the ocean, so we saw so many interesting birds. We saw eagles nearly every day, and all kinds of other birds. The kids had a lot of fun walking the beach and picking up rocks. The house was very clean and had all the things we needed. The hosts were beyond attentive, and easy to reach as they live right next door.

The house was amazing! So clean and had everything we needed and such comfy beds. So thankful to Richard, our wonderful host who came to our rescue when our original VRBO was cancelled last minute.

Peaceful getaway
The Beach House was beautifully appointed and we had everything that we needed for a peaceful getaway. Such a lovely location with stunning views and the sound of the water lapping up against the shore left us all feeling much more relaxed than we were when we arrived. Thanks for a great experience.

Peace and quiet overlooking the water
Great spot for peace and quiet, a few miles down a dirt road from the highway. Steps away from the sea and a quiet lagoon with beaver and duck families. We could easily spend a couple hours each day talking slow walks up and down the beach. The house was comfortable and well-equipped. We had no trouble cooking meals, doing laundry, finding things to watch on TV, using wifi, and most of all just enjoying our surroundings. Take care with windows and screens so bugs don't get in. Approx. 30 minutes to Baddeck or groceries in North Sydney. 90 minutes to Ingonish and National Park.

Excellent communication
We had a great time at the cottage, loved the views, the driving distance to the Cabot trail or the Louisbourg fort, we fit a lot in. Richard was a great host, very responsive. One of the heating elements on the water heater broke and before we got back from a trip he had it fixed. Thank you for a great Cape Breton experience.

Lovely view
This location gives you a beautiful, scenic view of the water from the living room/kitchen, deck, and 2nd floor loft. It has access to a small beach. The house is new, has lots of natural light and makes the best use of a relatively compact space. It's worth noting that access to the loft is more like a ladder than stairs, but it has its own half bath. Access to groceries and gas are 20 - 30 minutes from this location, but it's worth the drive.

Great waterfront location
We had a fabulous time staying at Richard’s cute cottage in Cape Dauphin. The house is located several miles down a gravel road, so it feels quiet and somewhat remote. It is perched on a hill overlooking both the ocean and a fresh-water pond, with easy access down to the beach. We loved exploring the beach and were endlessly entertained by the myriad of animal activities on the pond. There were geese, ducks, beavers, seagulls, deer, foxes, and even an eagle. The house is on the small side, but suited our family of four just fine. We loved our stay in Cape Dauphin and would happily stay at this house again.
