Tranquility coupled with Spectacular Views

Great place to visit for peace and quiet, reading and reflection coupled with the opportunity to pursue great hiking, swimming, kayaking and live music. Stewart is a great host with helpful local knowledge on all fronts and he maintains the cottage beautifully. They look exactly like they appear in the pictures only better. Will definitely stay again on our next visit to Cape Breton Island.

Twobysea cabin

Lovely spot to explore Cape Breton. The sunsets from the house were fabulous. The house is as good if not better than the pictures. There was everything necessary to have meals at the cabin (spices, Saran Wrap, oil and balsamic vinegar to name a few). Stewart was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and gave great suggestions of activities and amenities in the area. We will definitely recommend this place.

Best cottage in Cape Breton Island

Our family loved our stay here. The kids had a blast. And Stewart made sure our stay was fun and comfortable. A cottage experience we will not forget. The one week stay exceeded our expectations. The waterfront view was stunning and the cottage itself was exceptional. Stewart was very much involved and helpful in making sure we got settled in and familiarized with the area. He recommended many great places of attractions, local restaurants, gift shops and where to go for whale watching!

We love it when young families discover Cape Breton for the first time and fall in love! Mustofa and his family was a great addition to this tradition, and we enjoyed meeting all of you, and hope you can visit again soon!

Chimney Corner Beauty

We stayed at TwoBySea for a week. Stewart was so helpful in giving us many suggestions regarding restaurants, and what/where to visit. He was always available to answer questions. The cottages were amazing with the views; they were comfortably furnished with beautiful decor and architecture! It was a very private setting and it seemed like we were the only two people there; however, still very close to many other towns and to the Cabot Trail. Would highly recommend for a lovely get-a-way!

Dream Spot

There is not good things enough to say about Two By Sea to do it justice! The location is STUNNING and the rooms/decor/layout is absolutely dreamy. Stewart was an amazing host- he gave us the best tips for places to see/eat/hike in Cape Breton (I've never had someone recommend meatloaf at a restaurant before, but I don't regret it LOL this just showed me how spot on all of his recommendations are). We are so glad we stayed here and are already looking forward to when we can return again.

Thanks for the review Sara! You were one of our first guests at this cottage, which I have just finished after working on it for two years. The two cabins which are connected by decks, offer some options the some of the other cottages don't- a private work area in the bedroom, a wood stove, and next Spring, an outdoor shower (in addition to the roomy shower in the bathroom.) And yes, I don't often recommend specific dishes at local restaurants, but hey, that meatloaf at the Red Shoe Pub IS top notch!! ;)

Lovely Saltbox Cottage x 2

From the low wraparound deck to the bright and open interior of each cabin to the inspiring sunsets, Two by Sea is beautiful. The cottage is perfectly located on a hill with an incredible sweeping view. This was our last stop after 4 weeks of exploring NFLD, and after a long day getting to NS, once we got checked in we had everything we needed to just relax and enjoy the Cape Breton vibe. The cottage is nicely curated, comfortable and clean. We rented some unique places on this vacation and were never disappointed. This cottage also had an incredible sense of place. Very happy to have stayed.

Recharge and Relax

Our family of four spent a week at TwoBySea. Here is a recap of our experience. We arrived shortly after the appointed check-in time. The directions provided were clear and we had no problems finding the property or climbing the access road. The cottage was exactly as pictured, except the views are even more spectacular than the online photos. We were greeted by the owner a short while after settling in. He spent an hour giving us an overview of the area, and highlighting things to do and see. This proved very useful to us as first timers to the area. The cottage is furnished and equipped to a very high and comfortable standard, including a heated floor in the bathroom! You can drive right to the door, making unloading luggage and groceries a breeze. If you are lucky enough to secure a reservation at TwoBySea, you will not regret your decision. We highly recommend it as a base to explore this beautiful corner of Cape Breton. Pun intended!

Thanks for the generous review Pamela! Glad your family was comfortable- this new cottage has lots of comforts as you mention (electric heat and a wood stove; a large tiled shower, a large leather couch and chair) and a great location near the Cabot Trail, with stunning views of the ocean.
