Waterfront One Bedroom Apartment

Spacious, one bedroom apartment with water views from every window. Enter from your own private patio. The pebble and rock beach is down a short path (200'). The apartment is in a natural rural setting where you can see the stars at night, hear the birds in the morning, and catch a glimpse of wildlife in the woods.

Antigonish Harbour is a protected estuary where you can kayak, sail, or canoe in protected waters--you can access all this from your door. Prepare for spectacular sunsets as you barbeque on your private patio and watch the herons feed at the water's edge.

Kayaks are available for guest use.

We are 15 minutes from the town of Antigonish, where you will find St. Francis Xavier University, well-stocked stores, and an assortment of restaurants..

For those seeking more beach time, you will find several beaches close by: rugged Dunn's Beach (30 min walk), 2 miles of sandy beach at Pomquet Provincial Park (10 minute drive), Mahoney's Beach (30 min).

Keppoch Mountain, a recreational site for biking, hiking, disc golf, and winter sports is 25 minutes away.

We are located 10 minutes off the Trans Canada Highway, making it a perfect spot to take a rest on the way to Cape Breton or the Newfoundland Ferry.

Lobster season here is May and June. The wharf is just down the road.
During your stay at this apartment building, you're just a quick walk from Black Island. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the apartment.
  • The apartment offers a kitchen, a washing machine, and a patio
  • Free WiFi
  • Steps from Black Island and 8 minutes by car from Dunns Beach

Fabulous!
We were en route to Cape Breton and decided after an expected long drive to stop in Antigonish before continuing on our journey. It was dark when we arrived and got a little lost. Our hosts came to the rescue and literally guided me down the path to our apartment! Exceptional service indeed! Loved the place and the hosts. Thank you!

Great Unit
Thank you John & Kathryn. This is a beautiful little spot and the hosts are so friendly and have thought of everything in the unit. We were touched when Kathryn’s brought us fresh tomatoes from her garden and welcomed us on arrival.

Terrific spot
Wonderful stay; wish we could have stayed longer. Kathrynn and John were terrific hosts and their place was very well equipped with everything we could need, and even some things we didn't expect, like ice cubes ready in the freezer, and an ironing board and iron. Would definitely stay here again!

If you like a loud nightclub, this place is not for you . . .
Kathryn & John are very focused on making their guests comfortable. The unit is extra clean, well appointed with furnishings, and exactly as portrayed in the listing. The setting is extra rural. A very quiet place. You can see the stars at night, hear the birds all day, and watch a porcupine climb up a tree out your window. Antigonish is a small town, a 10-minute drive away. But we found everything we needed. The unit is strategically located about 40 minutes from the causeway to Cape Breton Island.

Lovely apartment in an awesome setting!
From the in-floor heating to the comfortable bed to the gorgeous view, this place was really enjoyable! We stayed for 9 nights and could have stayed longer. Just 15 minutes from Antigonish it was very relaxing and enjoyable. Thanks!

Cute, clean and cozy
Super cute place. It had everything I needed. The bed and bedding were extremely clean and comfortable. It was a little too far out of town for the purpose of my trip. But that of course was just a personal preference. Everything was exactly as advertised. I had a really nice stay.

Just book it
A great holiday home. Hosts John and Kathryn have a spectacular spot, and seem pleased to share. Immaculate, quality, and comfortable. Hosts go above and beyond, including information on the area, and procuring tickets for a live theater show. Nova Scotia hospitality at its best. Hobie Cat sailing, available kayaks, adventures around the corner. We would not hesitate to recommend, and will be back as renters and/or friends. Everything we hoped for. Beautiful locale on the water. Beaches nearby, and only a 15 minute drive into the heart of Antigonish. The unit was first rate. Plenty of space for two people. Well equipped kitchen. With the exception of a dishwasher, everything you'd want or need. The unit overall has a brand-new impression to it. John, Kathryn, and their amazing son Simon are the type of people even those who like to keep to themselves would enjoy meeting and chatting with. One warning: beware the mosquitoes when out and about! We would gladly book this again when returning for a visit.
