We stayed for 1 week in July at Steve's cottage and we couldn't have been happier with our experience! Communication was excellent and the cottage was well stocked with everything we could possibly need to enjoy our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent at the cottage, walking along the beach and even riding the bikes provided. We saw lots of different birds, the local rabbits and even some seals right from our gazebo on the property. We did some day trips to Cape Breton Island during our stay and loved having such a fantastic place to come "home" to each night. Steve had some great recommendations for us before and during our trip, and made sure we had all we needed for a great vacation. Would absolutely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a quiet, private and peaceful retreat!

We totally enjoyed our peaceful retreat at the beach cottage. It was the perfect size for the two of us. The views from the porch, the balcony, or the gazebo were stellar. Lovely beach to walk and watch the occassional boat go by out of the bay. Beautiful cool breezes. Steve was a great communicator and made sure we had any questions answered. The loft is a little tight if you are tall, but we did not have any issues with sleeping as the place is so quiet. Only birds in the morning to awaken us. The cottage is a good jumping off point to Cape Breton and Antigonish is only 25 min away if you want a restaurant or some interesting shops. We hope to go back one day!

A treasure, a relaxing get away with all the amenities

This is a wonderful place to stay. We did not want to leave. A secluded cottage with a private beach with the provision of outdoor games, kayaks, bikes, an outdoor firepit and incredible sunsets. A wonderful family location or just if one wants to escape.

Incredible

We wanted to spend a quiet week on the ocean and visit family in the area. This was an incredible property for our 1 week stay. The private beach is literally a stones throw from the cottage. The gazebo with a picnic table had an amazing 180 degree view of the coastline. Our standard poodle loved the property.

Great private location right on the water

We had an amazing week spending time on the beach, swimming, catching mackerel and stripped bass right off shore, searching for shells, and evenings by the fire. Cottage was small but clean and had everything you need. We loved the small charcoal bbq for cooking food right in the beach. Would definitely recommend to others!
