About this property

Completely restored with attention to detail, this very spacious 1908 home is in the heart of the beach capital of Cape Breton, the town of Port Hood.

The most popular sandy beaches and warm Atlantic waters are only a short walk down the street, or a two minute drive. Walk to any of the many amenities in town including grocery store, restaurants and pubs. The house is less than a 30-minute drive from the famed Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs golf courses.

All new, well appointed kitchen including stainless fridge, stove, microwave and dishwasher. The original dining table seats eight comfortably.

There are two new full washrooms (one with a tub/shower and one with a shower), one upstairs one downstairs, as well as a new outdoor shower with hot water. The laundry room has a new, full sized washer/dryer, and a clothesline for beachwear and towels. The front living room with bay window is comfortable and relaxing, while the den down the hall with couch (converts to a bed) and tv offers a separate space for kids to hang out. We now have Starlink satellite for great connectivity.

Outside you will find a new stainless bbq, a big side yard for games, picnic table for eight, and additional outdoor seating.

All furnishings are new or tastefully chosen antique. Comfy beds have cozy linens in all three of the bedrooms plus den. We supply beach towels and chairs, even a beach blanket and cooler.

While the calendar indicates we are open to shorter bookings we reserve the right not to accept a booking request. Our preference is for 3+ day rentals. We will do our best to accommodate shorter booking requests however these will depend on the availability of our cleaner and popularity of dates. Bookings over 5 guests will incur a nightly surcharge for utilities and wear and tear. Shoulder season weekly and monthly rentals may be discounted. Please send us an inquiry for your dates and we will get back to you quickly.

Beautiful house and location!

My husband and I along with our daughter and her husband stayed for 4 days. During our stay we explored the local area and Cape Breton . It was breathtaking. We loved the proximity to the beach and the house was beautifully restored. There was everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Thank you so much for hosting us.

Beautiful, cozy home

Lovely character home. Very bright and beautiful. It was in a nice location, and we were able to spread out which was fantastic. 2 bathrooms one on main floor and one upstairs which was a bonus. We felt at home and safe at the house. We loved Port Hood and Judique. Had locals offer to help us find places and helped us when we needed to get documents printed out. Fantastic experience.

The Yellow House - A Lovely Time

The house was immaculate and ever so comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The master bed was so-o-o comfortable. Expect to hear some small creaks and groans from the house at night as the temperature comes down. This is totally to be expected in an old house and did not keep us awake. The only small problem we had was the wifi service is very slow and watching any videos was really painful. We would definitely rrecommend the yellow house to people.
