Although it wasn’t the original property we booked, (it was changed to an alternate location), it was alright. The beds were comfortable & the livingroom furniture was amazing. The host was really accommodating.

A short stay

We only spent the one night, but we certainly felt right at home. Wendy was extremely helpful with information about the area and where we were going. An extremely well equipped unit with everything you need, and then some.I would definitely stay again.

Great Location and surrounding ammenities

There was an issue with availability of this property so we were offered an alternative location so cannot comment on this specific listing. We found port hastings/hawksbury to be a perfect area as it has good access to grocery/liquor stores etc which can be few and far between. Wendy was very personable and treated us to homemade lobster rolls which were delicious.

Comfortable and great location

This is a great place for any group looking for a 2 bedroom with plenty of parking. It is located basically right beside the canso causeway. All amenities close by. The owner Wendy met us upon arrival. She’s very knowledgeable about the area and Nova Scotia in general. We joked that she could be a travel agent. Her place offered laundry with detergent which was ideal as we were on day 6 of our road trip. I would 100% stay here again!!! Thanks Wendy. So nice meeting you!

Cozy Home in Port Hastings

Wendy greeted us when we arrived and made us feel quite welcome. The home was very clean and well equipped with everything one would need including washer/dryer. Although we were only here for one night, this place would be ideal for longer stays. I would highly recommend this home.

Lovely one night stay. Clean and comfortable with all the amenities and everything you need including Keurig and assortment of coffee choices. Small deck to sit out and enjoy the view. 5-6 stairs with handrails to get into home. Host is friendly and engaging and had great suggestions for things to do that enhanced our trip.

Quiet property. Minutes from Port Hawkesbury and the Canso Causeway. Perfectly located for day trips on and off Cape Breton.Extremely pet friendly. We were given a free upgrade to the larger part of the house. We wanted for nothing. The kitchen and bathroom are better equipped than our own. We immediately felt at home. Wendy is an exceptional host. Before we had even arrived she reached out to see if we needed anything. She greeted us at the door and showed us around. She suggested some wonderful less obvious scenic drives. She even texted us midweek to let us know about some local entertainment. She was always quick to reply to our messages. But here is where Wendy outshined. Just before we arrived at the rental we took an unwise turn onto a dirt road which dislodged part of our car’s under shield making it unsafe to drive. This was on the Sunday of the Thanksgiving weekend with repair shops not likely to open before Tuesday. Wendy immediately took matters into her own hands and got us the help we needed the next morning. She and Travis, the young mechanic who serviced our car, made sure not a single moment of our vacation was ruined by our driving mishap. Travis even looked at our car later in the week to make sure we were good to make the two-day trip home.

Three days on Cape Breton Island

This was the perfect property for us--everything on one floor and just the right size for the two of us. Plenty of supplies for everything--bath, kitchen, etc. Was really surprised that Wendy was there to greet us, which was an added touch. She introduced us to the house and gave us great tips on what to see. I would stay here again and recommend it to friends who want to stay on Cape Breton.
