About this property

Kingfisher's Beach House kayaking heaven on the ocean sheltered by huge sandbar

If enjoying Cape Breton’s natural beauty in comfort and welcoming French Acadian hospitality is important, then you have found the right place in the heart of Isle Madame right on the ocean.
We have renovated our dream ocean house over a year. The focus is the views, sun, and water sports.

The house layout highlights the views and sun from morning til dusk. The kitchen allows for creativity to cook wonderful meals. Two patios allow guests to relax enjoying the views, the sun or shadow, while exploring your culinary BBQ expertise.

At the end of a hiking, biking or swimming day, you can relax at the fire bowl or in the full size soaker tub and then retire to the sound of the waves against the beach.

Grocery (Coop) and Liquore Store ist only a few minutes drive, as well as restaurants and fresh seafood market.

Old crooked house
This is a very old house. The ceiling upstairs is a little low and the floors were extremely crooked which we were not expecting, but we had a great stay overall. Beautiful location.

About the host

Hosted by Bob

Host profile image
I run my vacation home rental business since 1999, came across the Atlantic and immigrated in 2012 to enjoy sailing on our catamaran. We love to explore the numerous dreamy bays, swim and get our dinner ourselves, fishing mackerels and collecting mussels.
We love to share our enthusiasm and joy and want to cooperate with you to understand your needs and wishes and to tailor the best possible experience, on our Trimarans as well.
Do not hesitate to talk to us if we stay in our Sailor`s Rest House nearby and have time for your and our stories....

Why they chose this property

The shallow bay in front of the house is excellent for swimming (protected warm water during summer), and has magical uninhabited islands for canoeing and kayaking. Local companies rent equipment in the area.

What makes this property unique

For those interested in taking in some near-magical scenery, picturesque trails is a leisurely 10 minute drive to several light houses with nature trails The beach is also a great place for a jog, meditation, beach volleyball, evening walks and, of course, photography -- especially in the evening when the western sun illuminates the deep blue sea.

Our location makes for an excellent basecamp for enjoying Cape Breton in comfort and style. Furthermore we have other properties on Lake Ainslie and Inverness where we are a scenic short drive from the world-class Cabot Cliffs Golf course and whale watching in Inverness and an hour drive from the starting point of the world-famous Cabot Trail. And fishing expeditions are all easy day trips from all properties.

Closer by, we are an easy 5-minute drive from Arichats vibrant shops, restaurants, tuna fishing charters and 10-minute drive from sandy swimming beaches of Pondvile Beach Provincial Park.

Isle Madame is well-known for its world class seafood, its summer/fall music hotspots and its warm hospitality.

Meanwhile, we are about 10 minutes from picturesque Petit de Grat which has restaurants with local fiddle music, groceries and miles of sensational hiking trails (up to Cape Auguet which features breathtaking views of Cape Breton's rugged coastline, cliffs and beaches below).

1. Our vacation home is new renovated and opened for guests in 2022. Photos on this site will be updated as we continue to make improvements to the exterior features of the property.

3. Villa Sharing - We are pleased to host families of up to six people or parties of two couples who wish to share a villa. The sharing of the beach house by 3 couples, however, is not permitted. Some exceptions apply, but these require approval by the owner on a case-by-case basis.
