Atlantic Views - 5 Bedroom Exec Home with Pool

ShawnRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Excellent place to stay in New Waterford before riding the Cabot Trail. Pool is heated and views are great. About 5 mins from town but most restaurants deliver - and the new pizza and bakery place is great. Karri & Corri were very responsive and had the place ready within 24hrs notice.

This Spa like property had every self-care amenity you could think of, was more beautiful than the pictures reflected, spotlessly clean, had phenomenal views and was equipped with everything needed for a peaceful and restful holiday.

Macaulay’s Hill Farm

AshleyRating, 5 stars11 months ago
This was a perfect week long retreat for our summer vacation. We spent most of our time enjoying the kitchen, screened in porch, and the pool! Just a short trip to town, it’s easy to get groceries and the kitchen in well equipped for cooking! We were in the pool everyday and felt so relaxed and at ease in the beautiful home and peaceful scenery! Peter, who stopped by mid-week was lovely and helpful. Completely recommend for a week away!

Scottish Thistle

JasonRating, 5 stars10 months ago
This is a great place to relax! Extremely quiet, spectacular view and plenty of space for a family of 4 to 6 to spread out and chill. The private beach is a nice added touch and Baddeck is only a 2 minute drive, but I wouldn’t walk there, cars drive a little fast down that road and there’s no sidewalk. Tyler was a great host, explained everything perfectly, right down to recommending water shoes for the private beach ( which we had). There’s also a nice listing of local places and lots of brochures so you can find stuff to do. It was ~25 degrees when we stayed and it gets nice and cool at night so not having A/C isn’t a problem. There are so many windows that open in so many directions, you’ll catch a breeze.

4-bedroom seaside home with all of the comforts.

ChrisRating, 5 stars8 months ago
This is a magical location. Extremely private with terrific ocean front. A perfect view of Sea Wolf Island National Refuge. Lots of birds with eagles seen ever day. You'll have miles of beach to explore -never saw another person. The amenities are true luxury. Everything you would ever need to prepare meals was there. Andrew was a perfect host.

Eagles Perch

ClaireRating, 5 stars9 months ago
My family and I had an amazing stay at Geoffrey’s Eagles Nest B&B! The pictures truly do not do it justice, the view is totally breathtaking and the B&B itself is even nicer in person with so much space!! You have multiple balconies, living and dining areas, and large sized bedrooms, everything and more you could need - especially when travelling in a large group. Geoffrey was very communicative throughout our stay, always available if we needed anything and even went above and beyond for us by finding us a pack and play to use for our little one! The area itself is so beautiful and worked as a great base for our trip in Cape Breton, with only a short drive to the park and to Chéticamp! We cannot say enough good things about this B&B and would love to come back one day!! Thank you, Geoffrey!

Ocean Hideaway

BruceRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We just returned from 10 days at Ocean Hideaway in Pleasant Bay. This place is just magical. It sits on a cliff overlooking a vast bay of water where we often saw whales, seals, and dolphins. The sunsets were spectacular every evening! The house is just off the main road but completely secluded, quiet and inviting. Daniel provides all sorts of personal touches from a coffee bar complete with an assortment of syrups, caramels, mini marshmallows ,and chocolates; to extra thoughtful amenities like tooth brushes and tooth paste. The kitchen is a fun space to prepare anything from morning coffees to full blown dinners. We wish we never had to leave!

Glen Lyon Chalet- New 3 bedroom home

HeatherRating, 5 stars4 days ago
The Glen Lyon chalet was one of our best stays ever. Our hosts went the extra mile, welcoming us with refreshments & providing ample amenities for our entire stay. The kitchen was so well-stocked! The place was fresh & clean, and very comfortable. The showers were great, and the washer and dryer were new and worked perfectly. We also enjoyed sitting out on the deck, and the dark skies provided very starry nights! Oh, and it was a great bonus being right across from Glenora Distillery. We would highly recommend!

The Mabou House

BradRating, 5 stars1 month ago
OMG! What a fabulous home! This is one of the best airBnB rentals that I have come across to accommodate a large group. We had a group of 10 and the house was spacious enough to allow guests to have down time by themselves if need be. The open plan kitchen, dining, and music room was well laid out and stocked with everything including a piano and guitar. The beds and white linens were wonderfully comfy, tidy, and spotless. The bedrooms and bathrooms are large and well appointed. The hosts were the cherry on top. Very responsive, friendly, helpful, and provided that great East coast charm you often hear of. Our group are already making plans to make the trip again next year. I could go on and on, but I wouldn’t hesitate to come back or recommend this Airbnb. Cheers, Brad

Family Friendly Coastal Cottage| The Bluewood

CailaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had a wonderful stay here. The home is beautiful and Jade was communicative before and throughout our stay. The booster seat and children's games were great as we were travelling with a toddler. Ideal location close to the local beach and the Cabot Trail/Cape Breton Highlands park, with a park pass included as an extra bonus. We would love to return.

La Belle Brise-as a two bedroom rental

ElizabethRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Darling home on the edge of a small inlet, on the outskirts of Chéticamp. The house was just as described and had everything we could have needed during our stay. Great base if you’re looking for a place to stay along the Cabot Trail. Would recommend! (I would also recommend L’abri and Woodroad if you’re looking for excellent restaurants in the area :))

Unique Oyster Cove home on the Mira!

ValerieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Laura’s home was exactly as described, very clean and had all the amenities you need. It is in a beautiful picturesque bay with incredible views - so peaceful and a great place to recharge. There are several options to enjoy the outdoors from a screened sunroom to an outdoor deck to chairs on the dock or around the fire pit. We made a day trip to Louisbourg Fort which is very close by and definitely worth the drive. I would highly recommend this Airbnb. Thanks Laura!

Beach Front Lake House 6 Bedrooms “Capers Landing”

ElizabethRating, 5 stars4 days ago
I needed a place to accommodate my 6 kids, their spouses, & my granddaughters to honor my precious Dad’s wishes to lay his ashes to rest in his beloved Cape Breton home 🙏Nikki was a gift from God who absolutely blessed us with the most beautiful place for this very special time! Not only did we all have beautiful 5 star bedrooms & luxurious baths (I made all my girls pamper themselves 🛁) but the house is so beautifully appointed, designed, & decorated, the property on the water was like a resort-complete & total peace-woke up to beautiful sunrises watching Canada geese & loons swim by & ended perfect days out at a perfectly set up fire under lights with gorgeous sunsets! There was absolutely NOTHING Nikki didn’t think of!!! From beautiful cribs, change tables, toys, books, dinnerware, even a baby bubble bath 💖, kayaks, paddle boards, darts, games, beautiful fire places, indoor/outdoor dining, perfect heat/AC, laundry, & a kitchen a chef would love! And Nikki accommodated our EVERY N

Adonai Cottage 6, Cozy 2 BD w/ Mountain Views & FP

JohnRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Another great stay at the Adonai chalet. The snowmobile trails are accessible, and you can sled directly from camp. The chalet was a full house with five adults. Lots of parking perfect for anybody coming with multiple trailers. Chris and his wife are great hosts, you couldn’t ask for a better place to stay, and this is why it’s one of our favourite winter destinations.

Sea-renity

MaryRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We absolutely loved this place, it had everything we wanted and was very comfortable. The place was really sweet and tastefully decorated with lots of nice touches. Beds were comfortable and the view was amazing. We enjoyed the afternoons on the back deck and even took the path down to the water. The place was very clean and stocked with everything you could think of. Lots of lovely beaches nearby if you like to walk the beach or beach comb. The only thing that we thought it could have used is an umbrella on the back deck because it can get very hot out there but other than that it was terrific. Thanks Shannon We loved it!

The Sunset Watch

ElaineRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Scott and Kaitlyn were great hosts. They always responded to messages quickly. There home was clean and comfortable for 5 adults. They even offered free snacks and bottles of wine for a reasonable price. My adult kids and I were very comfortable and found this place to be very convenient to visit Cape Brenton NP and the whole island. The hosts found an item we left behind and messaged us and sent to item to us. That is outstanding Customer Service! I highly recommend this place.

Baddeck Waterfront Home- Paddle the Bras D’or Lake

MonicaRating, 5 stars9 months ago
We have been coming to Baddeck for many years, and this time we were fortunate to find Kristine’s place. Everything about the place was perfect—the stunning view, the immaculate house, and most of all Kristine’s wonderful family. They felt like my own by the end of our stay, and we will most definitely be coming back. Kristine thought of every little detail to make us feel at home, from the zillion channel TV to the coffee ready to be perked.
