About this cottage rental

Recently chosen as one of the Top 5 VRBO Vacation rentals in Nova Scotia by Trip101, Deep Blue Sea Cottage is a gorgeous coastal cottage on a 130-acre property five minutes from the Cabot Trail.

There’s ocean, a huge beach nearby and breathtaking panoramas. This cottage books Saturdays to Saturdays, when you are choosing your dates; it has features you'll love: a veranda with wall-to-wall, eight-foot-high windows, an open structure, contemporary yet rustic furnishings, walls finished with white boards inside, and cedar shingles outside, in classic Cape Breton style.

Without exaggerating, sunsets will take your breath away. You will enjoy complete seclusion and memorable views in one of the most spectacular parts of Cape Breton, but you won't be without conveniences like wi-fi and a fast Fibre- op internet connection, a fully-equipped kitchen and other comforts, like a bright bathroom with heated floors and a fully-tiled shower. A Vermont Castings wood stove will give you the option of a lovely fire, which makes for a cozy day in Autumn. There is a lovely, mature hardwood forest around the cottage to explore, and as day turns to evening with a knockout sunset, relax, listen to music or catch up on things you don't have time for at home.

The Master bedroom area offers a Queen bed and AC; the second bedroom offers a comfortable single. From the spacious deck or from the veranda, you can see the beach, lobster boats, eagles perch nearby, moose, bobcats; foxes make appearances, and whales pass by most of the year; you will wake up to these views each morning and enjoy them all day.

This cottage changes over on Saturdays only. If your preferred weeks happen to be booked, please check our other lovely oceanside cottages: #203860, #382569, #3490361, #277105, #2599594 (Although the cancellation policy lists "no refunds," there ARE refunds–it is just that our policy did not fall within VRBO's categories.)

I designed this cottage to have all of the charm of a real coastal cottage, with excellent amenities, and lots of privacy in a spectacular setting with fantastic views of the ocean. Many folks rent out their seasonal homes in Cape Breton, but the Deep Blue Sea Cottage is designed specifically for visitors' pleasure and needs.

There is a rich, strong culture here, historically and musically, and life unwinds at its own special pace. Although a three-day visit to the Island is not uncommon, a week is what it takes to really get a sense of the rhythms and charm of Cape Breton. It's easy to meet people here, and the daily pace here is slower than in most cities.

There are a number of good restaurants closeby, and also a number of grocery stores within a half hour.

Chimney Corner beach is one of the finest on the island, three minutes from cottage, and it's mostly unoccupied during the week– in addition to the fine beach and safe swimming for children, there are interesting rock formations to explore nearby. World-class golf at the renowned Cabot Links and the new Cabot Cliffs (rated #39 and #10 in the world by Golf Digest) is a short-drive. Cape Breton is a spectacular place, and you'll find the scenery on this stretch of coastline particularly striking.

There are other great beaches to check out nearby: Whale Cove (5 minutes away) at which you can explore a fabulous bluff by the sea, with great views north and south, Margaree Harbour (7 minutes away), with its beach and two lighthouses, the Broad Cove area, with its spectacular scenic drive. Cheticamp, about 20 minutes away, offers glimpses into Acadian culture.

Beside Cheticamp is the entrance to Cape Breton Highlands National Park, with trails, lookoffs and waterfalls. South of us are the gorgeous rolling hills of Mabou, and the town itself, which offers music, pubs with local music and food. There are also renowned crafters in the area; quilting, rug hooking, and folk-art can all be found locally.

The house was just at it looked in the pictures. Views were beyond expectations. So peaceful, we felt completely private. Close to hiking trails, beaches, and the Cabot Trail. Our host showed us places to go that weren’t on the usual maps. Kitchen had everything we needed. Had one meal out a day, usually lunch and so enjoyed relaxing mornings and gorgeous sunsets. One week barely scratched the surface of Cape Breton.

Top to bottom, front to back a 10/10 experience. Location - stunning views from the sunroom and the front deck. You get to see all of the weather coming in and with the binoculars so many amazing sights. The cottage was so beautiful. So clean. Best sleeps at night. Everything you need when you’ve flown in with carry-on luggage! Stewart was such a great host. Came By and gave us great ideas on how to spend our time and we did several of his suggestions. My husband is from Cape Breton so we got to spend some time seeing friends and family. This place is a gem. We will look forward to staying there again! You won’t be disappointed.

The cottage was perfect for two. The view is incredibly beautiful from the cottage. The privacy was romantic and offered a feeling of rest and restore. Everything you need is provided including advice on things to do and places to eat. This is the perfect place to stop spinning in circles and reconnect with someone you love.

Once we booked our stay, the owner Stewart reached out with great advice and directions to help us prepare for our trip. Upon arrival, Stewart came up to the cottage to meet us. This is the first time we've had a property owner come out to meet us on arrival, so we didn't know what to expect. We had a great visit with Stewart and for almost two hours he annotated maps with suggestions of where to go, where to eat, and things to see based on our interests. This proved to be incredibly valuable during our stay. We did nearly everything that Stewart suggested and nothing disappointed. We had relatively strong winds and rain one night of our stay, and Stewart emailed us to warn us about the weather and make sure everything was alright with our stay. Overall, Stewart was an A++ host. The cottage was clean and cozy with everything we needed. As the weather was warming up during our stay, there was some insect activity, primarily in the bathroom, but that's to be expected in a rural and semi primitive rental. The little wood stove very quickly warmed up the cottage on cool mornings and provided a nice cozy ambiance. And the view off the deck is unbeatable. Overall we were thrilled with our stay and will return to Cape Breton. We hope to stay with Stewart again when we do.

This is a truly magical spot. Stuart set us up with ideas of things to do and insights about the area on day one. He was easy to contact and responsive all week. The cottage is lovely with spectacular views over Chimney Beach. I highly recommend this place!
