Two levels, with the main floor bedroom with a double bed and three single beds in the spacious loft. The sofa also opens to a bed. Baths on the main level and loft level. Hardwood floors throughout, with tile in the bathrooms. High 10 ft ceilings give the house an open feeling. Lots of floor to ceiling windows which provide beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Very bright, spacious feel to the interior. Private ocean beach and lagoon in your front yard, watch the fishing boats set and haul their traps, see the seals and eagles and birds.

Peaceful location with lovely views of the ocean and easy access to a rocky beach. Owner's house is right next door but they gave us lots of privacy while being available if we needed anything.We didn't cook but the kitchen was well appointed for that. Somewhat remote from restaurants but very manageable if you plan ahead and allow yourself time. Very close to Donelda's puffin cruise which was excellent.

If youre looking for a quiet place with a beautiful ocean view away from the city, this is perfect. They even mowed a path down to the beach below. Great walk and so quiet. Highly recommend and it was close enough to Sydney that we could drive in to do what we needed.

Cute little spot

Nice spot. It was a cozy place to watch the waves from since the weather had us stuck inside most of our stay. I’d recommend staying here.

We spent two weeks here. Lovely stay by the ocean and close enough to the Cabot trail to go driving every day. Hosts were great and helpful. P.s. some reviews were saying you need a 4 wheel drive SUV to get there. Those people are hilarious babies. The cottage is down a well maintained, wide, easy gravel road. We did it in a front wheel drive VW station wagon. No problems at all.

The beach house was located on a beautiful property. The view was lovely and it was very quiet. The accommodation was a bit over priced and the kitchen could have been better stocked.

Dauphin Guest House

Although we had a short stay & didn’t spend much time in the house, we did love watching the full moon & sun rises. The house is small but very comfortable. Beautiful setting. The host & his niece were very helpful & kind. I would recommend this home to any one who likes to be a little off the beaten path.

Oceanside View

Absolutely amazing choice. Oceanside view with the rolling waves and the fresh smell of the saltwater wafting in was absolutely perfect. The wind blowing by the house along with the cormorants, ducks, and all the other wildlife topped the vacation

Loved it!

We absolutely loved our stay at this cottage! I went with my mom and we loved the cozy feel of space. The view is phenomenal and the deck was so great for starting our day with a morning coffee. The shower is a little small but we managed. The long gravel road to get to the cottage was a little difficult if you're not used to it and probably not great for nervous drivers but you also get an awesome view throughout the drive so worth it. We would definitely stay here again.

Hospitable Host!

The house was amazing! So clean and had everything we needed and such comfy beds. So thankful to Richard, our wonderful host who came to our rescue when our original VRBO was cancelled last minute. He went above and beyond to help us. Was quick to respond and helpful with questions about the area. Highly recommend this beautfiul location. Stunning views.

Off the beaten path....

Very much enjoyed our visit at this sparkling new beach house. Richard was very easy to work with, relaxed and at the ready. The shared space (we were 4) is cozy but as others have mentioned the view is exceptional. There is a short mown path to the beach and long walks call you either there or on the quiet road behind the cottage. Gorgeous spot in the fall.

I grew up in Cape Dauphin every summer and now my kids spend every summer.

I live in Ottawa but love Cape Breton, it is a very happy place.

Why they chose this property

Land was passed down from family and beach house and main cottage were built. The property has spectacular views of the ocean and bird islands.

A piece of heaven.

Centrally located so you can easily travel to the many areas of the Island that offer beaches, scenic views, festivals, great food and music. It is close to the Gaelic College a 30 minute drive. It is also close to North Sydney where you can stock up on groceries, a 30 min drive.

It is also close to the many hikes throughout the Island.
