Waterfront holiday rentals in Victoria County

Tight space, but with the beautiful backyard setting & the multitude of activities to do in/around Cheticamp, you won’t be spending much time indoors. Despite being a tight space, it had everything one will need for a comfortable stay. I cannot mention enough how peaceful the backyard setting is!! Such an incredible sunset.

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!!!

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!

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!

We were in awe of absolutely everything during our stay. Could not stop talking about how perfect everything was, the views, the place itself, and all it included. Host was very friendly and quick to respond as well. This is by far one of the most beautiful places I’ve stayed on the island and I already can’t wait to come back. 10\10 recommend.

This was an excellent stay. Denise was a great communicator. The location is beautiful, overlooking the ocean and looking up at the cliffs of Cape Breton National Park behind. Close to shopping (incl. grocery) in Cheticamp. We would definitely stay here again.

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.

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!

We absolutely loved everything about this property! Right on the ocean, beautiful views, tons of space, two kitchens, three bathrooms... it had everything we wanted and then some. The host was very helpful with any questions we had and very responsive. Highly recommend staying in this beautiful home.
