We had an excellent stay in this location. Georgina was very responsive and a wonderful host. The layout of the space was great for our family and everything was in good working order.

We enjoyed our stay very much! The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We enjoyed many sunsets from the front porch. The location is excellent, there are several nice restaurants in the area, Cheticamp beach is only a few minutes away, and it’s the perfect home base for exploring the Cabot Trail.

Very clean new space that had all the items you would need. Spacious areas that had great sunset views. My experience was top notch and would recommend this property to anyone. The laundry was an added bonus! It’s better than the photos. Close to the Cape Breton Highland National Park.
Wonderful property with all the amenities. Best feature is the deck which provides a great spot to enjoy sunsets and just a comfortable place to sit outside.

This property had everything and more. It is a new house where we had all the comforts of home. Comfy beds and couches, as well as a deck overlooking the water which had beautiful sunsets. Kitchen is well stocked, ample linens and a new washer/ dryer made us wish we stayed longer than 2 nights.

This spotless new home has large windows and deck that provided a fabulous view of Cheticamp town and sunsets. Well designed open concept kitchen for meal prep and living room for socializing with friends. Washer and dryer was a real bonus.

We stayed for four nights. The location was great for visiting Chéticamp and the surrounding area. It would be helpful if the host checked the utensils and equipment to ensure that guests have everything they need. The chairs on the deck should be replaced as they are sun scorched and they are falling apart. With all this said we would stay there again.

My wife and I stayed 2 nights while in Cheticamp and this is a fabulous property. Everything in the unit is very nice and in perfect working order. Very comfortable beds, couches, big kitchen table, fully stocked kitchen, large screen TV, wifi, AC, and a beautiful view from the big patio. The host was very helpful and she had a full binder of helpful and fun information (including how to tell if the weather is going to be nice from where the cows are on the beach or not - weird and hilarious and completely accurate!). If you’re in Cheticamp, it’s the place to stay .
The property was advertised as a facility that contains four bedrooms and two washrooms. However, there were only two bedrooms and a single washroom only. Therefore, staying there for two families were extremely inconvenient and embarrassing.

Please see binder inside the house entitled "Things to do/see in Cheticamp". I have put this binder together while I had extra time during the Covid 19 pandemic.
Why they chose this property
This property is very important to me because it is in the area where I was born & raised.
I bought this property in 2017 from Emilie Burns, who lived next door to us when we were brought up. She sold her house to me because she was moving to a Nursing Home. Her house is now also being rented out as a vacation home under the name "Waterfront Cheticamp Vacation Home".
I decided to build a 2nd house in 2020-2021 on Emilie's property because I was looking for a project for retirement. This 2nd house is behind Emilie Burns' house. It is rented out as a vacation home under the name "Sunset & Water View Cheticamp Vacation Home - Units 1 & 2".
What makes this property unique
