Loved This Place!
This beach house was perfect for my husband and me. We went to Cape Breton to hike, explore the Cabot Trail, and eat seafood. Its location on the water, and being close to the National Park was just right. The house was very clean and modern, and the sunsets were amazing. Michael was very accommodating and responsive. He has equipped the kitchen with everything you might need for preparing meals. We would definitely stay there again if we ever return to Cheticamp. BTW, the Acadian Trail, which starts at the NP Visitors Center, is fantastic.

Beautiful luxury retreat
This beautiful, relaxing retreat was at the end of our Nova Scotia adventures. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed the site as well as how convenient it was being near Chéticamp and the Cabot Trail. This is right on the ocean, though beach access is just down the road. This is definitely a well thought out luxury rental in every way. It was clean, comfortable and well supplied with anything you might need to stay there. Lovely furnishings and decorating. West facing means you get the beautiful sunsets over the ocean. We loved our stay but wished it could have been longer. We highly recommend this wonderful, peaceful retreat.

A Perfect Retreat
This place is the perfect spot to get away. From the time we got out of the car and heard the ocean our blood pressure dropped 20 points. The unit itself is comfortable, clean and well equipped. Our only mistake was not staying here longer. But we’ll definitely be backm

Great property and amazing sunsets!
We had a great time at this property. The check-in instructions were good, and the cottage was spotless when we arrived. Michael kept us informed of weather warnings for the region and inquired how our stay was going in case we needed anything. The way the cottage is designed is excellent for 2 couples, as each can have some privacy. The kitchen was well stocked. There was a large supply of drinking water bottles, and we didn't run out (the water from the tap is clean, but not suitable for drinking). There was also lots of towels, which was appreciated since we stayed for 1 week. We spent many hours on the deck, relaxing and enjoying the view. We had several amazing sunsets, and truly enjoyed our stay at this property.

Great Stay!
My family had a great stay at Michael’s property. The views are breathtaking with a short drive or walk to access the local beach. Close to all the amenities of Chéticamp and to check out the Cabot Trail. The property was spotless, with a well stocked kitchen and having AC was lovely. The deck offered the perfect spot to watch the sunset. Great spot!
