We really loved staying at this beautiful place. The views of the ocean are amazing and you can see them from every spot in the home. The back deck was lovely to enjoy coffee in the evening and watch the sunset. The house itself is immaculately clean and very well appointed for a five-star stay. We would definitely stay here again. The hosts were very accommodating and so friendly.

Our stay at this beautiful ocean front home was nothing less than perfect. Michael was a fabulous host - making sure we had detailed instructions prior to arrival and following up with a quick call when we arrived to make sure everything was satisfactory. The house is lovely with a very attractive decor and stunning views of the coast from inside and from the deck. It was sparkling clean and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. This was the nicest VRBO we have ever stayed at and we did not want to leave!

Michael’s home was very clean and well stocked and the ocean view was magnificent. It was a bit of driving as we went back and forth to Cheticamp several times but beautiful and peaceful at the home.
Michael was an excellent host making sure everything was in order and that we had everything we needed.

Our stay was wonderful. The home was lovely with an amazing view. Morning coffee in the kitchen looking at the water was very special. The location is outside of towns to the north and south but a quick drive that allows you to take in the views.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. I wanted to show off the Cabot Trail to some of my Aussie friends and boy...this place really helped!! Everything we needed was provided and more. The accommodation was immaculately clean and the location was gorgeous. Sitting on the deck watching the sunset was so lovely and watching the lobster fisherman collecting their traps in the morning was icing on the cake!! What a view. The host was easy to communicate with and provided all the information we needed for our stay. We feel very privileged to have stayed here. I could go on and on.....but just go and see it for yourself!! You won't regret it.

The sunsets are spectacular from any room of the house. It is a really clean and they supply nice quality linens. Location is super close to the Cabot trail and the beautiful town of Inverness. Loved being close to Cheticamp for misc groceries, the liquor store. Michael is really helpful and quick to respond to any questions. Although we did not prepare meals there we did have snacks. Other than the many butter knives there is only one other and it’s a bread knife. Not a deal breaker, we bought one at the store for cheese, lemons and limes.

Michael did great with communicating with us. He checked in with us half way through to see how everything was going. Let us know best starting points with the Cabot trail. My family would sit and watch the waves come through whether it stormed or sunny days.

Michael is a great host. All procedures were clearly explained, he was very friendly and easily accessible. We felt that our comfort mattered to him. The ocean view from every room was a definite bonus that allowed us to view the sunset and to gaze at the stars. In addition, Michael's house was spotless and close to various attractions such as Cheticamp, the Cabott trail, hikes in the Highlands National park, Graham Bell historic site and much more.

Spectacular setting right on the ocean, with easy access to lovely beaches in Cheticamp and Margaree Harbour. Very comfortable house with all the modern amenities.
