Beachfront holiday rental in Bras d'Or Lake

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!

We had an amazing stay at Quarry Cove! The home had absolutely everything we could possibly need — from a fully stocked kitchen to tons of indoor and outdoor games and activities for the kids. It was perfect for our family girls’ trip. The place was spotless, and the wraparound veranda offered a beautiful view that we never got tired of. The hot tub was clean and such a treat at the end of the day. Adrienne was incredibly friendly and helpful — even went out of their way to help us get the hockey playoff game on TV, which was such a nice touch! We felt completely at home and well taken care of. Highly recommend Quarry Cove for anyone looking for a relaxing, family-friendly getaway!

Quaint place with updated furnishings and right on the water with cute swings on the deck. Jonathan was very helpful, responsive to questions and provided recommendations on local eateries and things to do. Much appreciated!

Amazing people. Amazing place. Of all the homes we’ve spent the night at here on Airbnb, this entire experience is now at the top. We’re leaving with fuller hearts. Thank you Christine and Jeremie for sharing your slice of heaven with us.

5 stars isn't enough! 😍 this dome-shaped glamping site was absolute perfection. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed and the bathroom was spotless and well-appointed. Can't wait to come back!

What a wonderful place, felt like a home while being clean and accessible. Beautiful waterfront location, with a welcoming and responsive host. Would easily book again, regretting that I didn't stay longer.

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

It's a beautiful place at lakeside. So many trails and waterfalls around. We loved it and kids enjoyed a lot there. Ann is very respectful and proactive. Whenever I texted her, could get reply in minutes. Amazing experience overall.

Cody’s Airbnb is a great accommodation for larger families. Everything we needed and more was available within the house. Walking distance and wheelchair accessible to sandy beach. Location is spectacular, bring your binoculars for a closer view of Port Hood Island and finish the night with a bonfire or star gazing from the balcony.

We had a fantastic time at the Doyle Beach House! Staying there was the perfect way for us to end our Nova Scotia trip as it offered a a great place to relax and as a base for us to explore Cape Breton Island and the Cabot Trail. The beach is at the bottom of the garden and was perfect for our children with calm shallows and soft sand but also with areas of stones for exploring. The location of the property is perfect for access to the beach at anytime of the day for walks and play and is also a short drive away from restaurants and grocery stores. The sunsets are amazing either from the deck or even from inside and watching over the water was a nightly routine. We couldn’t recommend this property and the hosts more and would love to return in the future.

We had a great stay. Very comfortable and clean. Felt right at home. Did not want to leave. Would highly recommend Gloria’s place.

Our stay was fantastic! The hosts were friendly and welcoming. We had to check in at their charming pub nearby, which caught my eye with its beautiful exterior. It was undergoing renovations and we couldn’t dine in, but the hosts kindly offered us takeout. The food was delicious, and they even hand-delivered it to our Airbnb, which was a nice touch! The view from the cottage was amazing, and nothing beats enjoying it from the hot tub. I have no complaints at all! Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a wonderful getaway.

This place is a gem for anyone looking to relax, let go, and keep it simple. Which we were. We also appreciated the food and drinks Kent provided. We hope to return.

The cottage is absolutely beautiful with its beachy vibe. I loved the design and layout of it. IVB was the perfect place to stay with lovely restaurants close by. Sitting on the deck or inside the cottage gave you a perfect view of the sandy beach. The heated cottage kept us cozy warm during the cool October nights. I had the best sleep. The hosts are lovely and very responsive. We definitely will be returning in the future.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay and cannot wait to return. Janet was very helpful and kind. The provincial park near by has a great beach to walk on.

This was our second stay with this host at this location. It is such a peaceful place with a great view of the river. It has all that you need for an enjoyable stay. Michelle is a great host who is very accommodating and reachable. You will not be disappointed staying here!!!

Chris's home is truly a slice of heaven! we spent a week in this beautiful chalet on a private beach. We use Airbnb a lot and this house and location was one of our favorite. SO peaceful and relaxing,SO comfortable and beautiful, really felt like home away from home for our large family. Right off the Cabot trail, we were able to take day trips around Cape Breton Island and enjoy everything the area had to offer. Chris was super helpful and communication was quick and easy. HIGHLY recommend this Airbnb!

This Airbnb was everything it said it was in the description and more. A great layout, well equipped with everything you need, easy access and a stunning view in a lovely town. Highly recommend!

My husband, our Bernese Mt. dog and myself stayed at this exceptional property. We travel frequently and this is without question our favorite Airbnb to date. We were welcomed with a sweet treat and wine. There were bowls & a comfy bed for our pup. I loved that the hosts send daily texts with itinerary suggestions. The ocean views are stunning. The beach is private and serene. The restaurant suggestions in the guidebook are wonderful. The Woodroad experience was fantastic. The property is about 30-35 minutes to enter the Cape Breton Highlands National Park. The Skyline Trail is located about 15 minutes from the park entrance and a great day trip from the Airbnb. We also had easy access to the Celtic Shores Coastal Trail in Inverness for biking/hiking. Finally, we had the pleasure of meeting Scott who took the time to point out Pilot Whales in the cove which could be seen from the deck/hot tub. Every detail of this property is meticulously addressed. We can’t wait to stay again.

Great place, great location, great host!
