About this property

Boat house on the sea.

Boathouse is literally sitting on the ocean. With high ceilings, wood floors and beautiful views makes it one of Cheticamp's best rentals. Walking distance to Whale Cruises, restaurants, bars, and cofee shop, property is perfect. Only 10 minutes to the National Park. You will fall in love with the view, the ocean, the sal air and the sound of boats going by with their catch of lobster. Make this space your central location to visit the island. This is ground level, upstairs another rental.

There are two bedrooms in this rental and one king size bed in the open concept living room. There is another unit on the second floor.

Parking is street side. It is very well lit and we have never had any issues, it is a very safe area:)

The downtown area is quite nice and you are situated right on the boardwalk. Please take the time to take a stroll by the water and drop in at Marquerite boutique et Provisions for a fresh coffee and locally baked goods.

Amazing location and fantastic layout. Terrific ocean views and very central to numerous restaurants and bars. Joeleen was always quick to respond to questions and requests. She had really great suggestions for things to do and see in the area. The Boat House was very clean and extremely comfortable. Would recommend staying here if you are in the area.

The Boathouse on the Sea is a charming property, located right on the water in Cheticamp.

We enjoyed our stay at Boathouse on the Sea very much. The property is quite charming, and the location is priceless...right on the water! The inside looks as if it has recently been redone, and it is very clean and well done. The location is fabulous for accessing the Cabot Trail and beaches on that side of the island. The sunsets from the porch are quite spectacular! And viewing the cattle on Cheticamp Island every day was really cool! A couple of items to be aware of: 1) The listing indicates this is a 3 bedroom property. It does sleep 6 people, however the property is actually a 2 bedroom, and the 3rd bed is located in the living room space. It is also noteworthy to say that the 2 bedrooms are quite small. 2) The kitchen is adequate for preparation of very small and simple meals, but not so much for larger meals...due to limited cookware and space. *Please note that the listing and photographs are not misleading (except number of bedrooms). We would definitely return to Boathouse on the Sea if we were returning to Cheticamp, as we really enjoyed our stay there very much.

This house by the sea was absolutely delightful! Everything you need including great coffee and super comfortable mattresses is in the house. The hosts are wonderful people and they were always super friendly and helpful. The amount of sea birds that you can watch while chilling on the deck is incredible both in number and in diversity of species. Going to sleep with the sound of waves made for an extraordinary snoozing experience. Cabin is convenient to walk to restaurants and bars and enjoy Cheticamp. I would recommend it to anyone.

Pictures dont do justice to this place! It has the most wonderful deck right on the gulf of Lawrence opposite the Chéticamp island. It’s the perfect spot to see sunsets, which we did every evening while there. The house is provided with everything one might need in terms of essentials and more. A full kitchen , bathroom with some toiletries and towels , a fast wifi and a pizza place right next door for your late night cravings The owners gave amazing recommendations and they are always accessible through chat! One more thing, the Skyline trail can be closed without notice if the number of tourists exceed a certain predefined limit. But since this cottage is around 20 minutes drive to the trail we could come back whenever we wanted and in non peak hours to make the most of it. We are Actualy thinking of coming back here for the winter , not sure how that would be :-)
Breakfast at the deck
Beautiful sunsets everyday

It was just great! Loved having the washer dryer, and lots of other small touches that made it extra nice. TV lost its feed and I received a message within 15 min how to try to fix it and it worked. Also liked the suggestions on what to do and where to go. Of course being on the water was perfect.

Fabulous views

Lovely property right on the waterfront in the centre of Cheticamp. Fabulous decking surrounding the house which we had access to , with comfy seats and a bbq. The house has two quite small bedrooms, one single , one double , ( also a double bed in the living room) a small but very well equipped kitchen, lovely bathroom and a great living space. There was a lay by in front of the house for parking and an amazing ramp for access. There was limited hot water , so a few cold showers!!! The house was cosy.It was in a great place to walk to local shops and restaurants and with great access to the Cape Breton Highland Park by car.We had a fabulous few days here.

Such a lovely place to stay! Right on the ocean, wonderful view of Cheticamp Island. It was fun to sit on the deck and watch the cattle, herons and eagles on the island. The hosts were very helpful, sending messages with all information needed including things to do and where to shop and eat in the area. Very restful!

Loved the concept of this accommodation as it was built on the water with a very large deck. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset while on the deck. Having several choices for places to eat was good - we enjoyed a great seafood from next door. Would be good to know that the one bedroom only had a single bed. Overall very good!
