Waterfront holiday rentals in Cape Breton Island

great quiet place. hosts and co-hosts were really helpful and friendly. spotless and really comfortable. thermostat worked really well

Our stay at this property was outstanding. Marc was exceptionally accommodating, particularly with our late check-in, and his hospitality made us feel very welcome. The location served as an ideal home base for our exploration of Cape Breton and the Cabot Trail. We highly recommend this place to future travelers and sincerely hope to return in the future.

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

We wouldn’t change a thing! The house was adorable, spotless, has a beautiful view and Vee left muffins and fruit in the house waiting for us! Loved being able to use a washer and dryer, everything seemed new and comfy, not like “leftovers” being used to decorate a rental. Do not pass on this home!!!

We loved staying at Clarke and Shelley’s! The space was very clean and had everything you need. The VIEW from this listing is unmatched and very peaceful - huge plus! Communication with our hosts was clear and responsive and it was nice to meet them in person too. 100% would book again when I’m back in town!

Highly recommend this stay if you are seeking peaceful nature and a relaxing stay. Eagle flights and sunset sights. Don’t wait to book it, you will not regret it!

Great host! We stayed for work to conduct some field work in the area and it was always great returning back to see all the animals and feed some goats! Beautiful property and right in nature! Kim was a great host and recommended a challenging, but rewarding hike in the area that leads to a beautiful vista and some exciting finds!

We had a wonderful stay! As other reviews said, there was a smell upon entering (mothballs perhaps?), but didn't bother us and didn't notice it after a while. Although it is dated (that's part of the charm), the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed, the beds are comfortable, and the view was perfect. Overall we enjoyed our time there!

This is an absolutely brilliant Airbnb. The hosts are responsive, the house is gorgeous, the supplies for guests extensive. I fully understand why one previous reviewer wanted to buy the home! Cannot recommend highly enough - just superb in every way

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 :))

Sharon’s riverside cottage was a great end to our NS vacation. We spent many hours enjoying all the amazing seating areas on the property, but especially enjoyed coffee and meals down on the water. Sharon made us feel at home and was the most amazing host we’ve had throughout our stay. We would recommend this beautiful cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing location on Cape Breton.

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!

Had a great week! The unit was stocked with everything we needed, absolutely spotless. Loved the book, that had the history and things to do in Cheticamp. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Thank you so much, we look forward to coming back again one day.

The lodge was beautiful. The location was so peaceful and with amazing views. I would love to come back one summer and see the area in a different season. Michael was a fab host and we throughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks so much.

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.

Priyanka was fantastic. Traveling to the Cape Breton Highlands in the middle of February can have its challenges. The weather did not want to cooperate but Priyanka and her caretakers sure did. There was a power outage prior to our arrival so we were expecting it to be cold and dark. To our surprise the house was bright and warm as they had a generator up and running allowing us to fully enjoy our first evening. The caretaker of the property continually checked on us, kept the driveway cleared and when the weather cleared, made sure we had access to all of the outdoor amenities. We were able to walk the never ending beach and were left speechless at the incredible views. There are very few places on earth that can offer the feeling of being on that beach and looking into the mountains and out to sea in the heart of winter. I hope we get the opportunity to return!! To say Priyanka and her staff go above and beyond would be an understatement! Thank you for a spectacular weekend!

The condo was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. The views from the living room and balcony were even better than the photos, and we loved falling asleep to the sound of the ocean crashing on the beach. Our only regret is not booking a second night!

It was more than just a place to sleep. Mr. Gillies recommended where to eat, how to catch the ferry to PEI, told us an interesting history of Port Hood, and even advised us on the sunset view. The room was comfortable and well furnished. We will have fond memories of the place and people.

Great place, just as in pictures. Easy walk to beach. Good access to trails in Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Beautiful area.

Beautiful place.. We had an amazing time.. the beach in front is gorgeous. The place rented has the standard of 5 stars hotels. Would highly recommend to stay in Oceans18 and I will definitely come back. Thank you for the hospitality and making our stay memorable. Cheers and see you next time !
