Spectacular, Two-structure Oceanfront cottage, 3 min. to beach

You will love this spectacular, private perch overlooking the ocean. Two newly built cabins are joined to create this sweet oceanfront cottage complex on the shimmering shore of Cape Breton Island. The charming, cedar-shingled structures were created in the island’s traditional building style, yet they are definitively modern—spacious, filled with amenities, and flooded with natural light. Looking out over the ocean, you’ll have some of the most memorable vistas in all of Cape Breton, and take in every incredible sunset, every passing eagle.

Although there are not many reviews for this new cottage, please check our other listings/ reviews to get a good sense of the experience we offer here: VRBO #4265347 #277105 #203860 #382569 #3490361. This cottage changes over on Sundays only.

These twin cedar-clad cabins feature soaring rafters, whitewashed interiors, and sleek Pine floors, offer the best of modern beach house styling with a reverence for Cape Breton’s traditional architecture. Sliding-glass doors give way to a large deck that joins the cabins, and which is perfect for outdoor cooking and lounging. A wood stove in the living room is great for relaxing on Fall days. The handmade dining table, a generous kitchen, storage and cooking equipment, all make it a great place to linger over meals full of local specialties. The leather couch is a perfect spot for connecting with friends, (especially with a fast fibre-op connection for wifi), digging into a good book, or just gazing out to sea. Watch storms develop on the horizon and play themselves out before they reach you. When you can tear yourself away, you will find our coast to be one of the most spectacular parts of Cape Breton, with lots of beaches (three within 5 minutes) dramatic cliffs, great restaurants and world-class golf at the nearby Cabot courses.

The connected bedroom/ bathroom cabin with its beautiful handmade desk, queen-size bed, and bunks, gives you a bit of separation if you bring some work along on your visit, or if you want to put your kids to bed and let them settle without disturbing them. There are vaulting ceilings, boarded walls, sliding doors onto the generous surrounding decks, and lots of storage space. The bathroom is HUGE (about 95 square ft.), fully tiled with heated floors/ tiled shower, windows (with ocean views) and lots of natural light from above.

Surrounding both buildings is a luxurious wrap-around deck, the biggest we offer at over 800 square feet. The two structures are joined by the deck and an overhead connection, and a beautiful summer sail. This two-structure design also allows us to make the most of a beautiful site, with beautiful forests all around, and stunning views and sunsets out front.

For those arriving in an EV, you will have a 40 AMP /volt dedicated car charger all to yourself in the private parking area. (a full charge in 8 hours.)

All of this on a beautiful property three minutes from the beloved Chimney Corner beach, five minutes to the Cabot Trail, a half-hour to the National Park, and eighteen minutes to Cabot Cliffs golf.

Nova Scotia is a mecca for hikers and walkers, with its Skyline Trail footpath in Cape Breton Highlands National Park and other trails in the densely wooded inland. A scenic drive encircles the island, offering stops at dozens of unspoiled beaches and bays. The cottages are located in the Chimney Corner coastal area, close to the pristine Margaree River area of the island, and offer spectacular views, thick woodlands, and privacy.
