Peaceful stay at a spectacular property!This place was a true sanctuary and ticked all of the boxes for us. The cottage is well appointed, very clean and comfortable. The location-wow! We loved the incredible ocean views, the lovely beach for walking and the numerous, outdoor sitting areas for dining, reading and star-gazing. The hosts were friendly and quick to respond to any questions we had.They also ensured that we had all information needed to have a great stay.Many thanks to Steve and Danielle for sharing this beautiful seaside oasis!

Incredible

We wanted to spend a quiet week on the ocean and visit family in the area. This was an incredible property for our 1 week stay. The private beach is literally a stones throw from the cottage. The gazebo with a picnic table had an amazing 180 degree view of the coastline. Our standard poodle loved the property.

East Coast Treasure

We had a wonderful stay at this quaint little cottage. The property has so much to offer. We enjoyed walks on the beach, campfires, a little fishing, and the boys even took a cold plunge into the ocean. The place was perfect for our Thanksgiving celebration. We enjoyed the tranquility and spectacular views of St. Georges Bay. A huge thanks to Steve who was so wonderful at answering all of my text messages. Your place is quite special!

Gorgeous spot and thoughtful host!

My husband and I (and our dogs) very much enjoyed our stay at this beautiful location on the water! The weather was less than perfect due to the tropical storm that came through, but we were still able to take in the amazing scenery of the area and especially loved biking along the Celtic Shores Coastal Trail out of Port Hawkesbury. Steve was a very caring host, checking on us on a regular basis to make sure we were ok after the storm, and even his neighbors were thoughtful enough to check! We were sad to leave on the final day when the sun finally came out, but it was a great start to our journey to Cape Breton! Thank you again Steve!

Great private location right on the water

We had an amazing week spending time on the beach, swimming, catching mackerel and stripped bass right off shore, searching for shells, and evenings by the fire. Cottage was small but clean and had everything you need. We loved the small charcoal bbq for cooking food right in the beach. Would definitely recommend to others!

Rest and relaxation

The property is secluded and spacious and feels very comfortable. Steve was very easy to get a hold of and if anything was ever needed was very helpful in solving the situation. The beach part of the roadway is basically made of rocks but my dodge challenger did fine getting across it. My son and I took advantage of a fishing charter that was mentioned and happened to be available. That does not disappoint either, the guys were friendly helpful and lots of fish were caught it a short period of time. The beach it's self was also made of more rocks than sand so a pair of crocks were very useful. The ocean is shallow in front of the cottage so low tide gave way to some exploring which was pretty cool. I would definitely stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely secluded cabin. The cabin is beautiful, clean, and well maintained. Lots of extra emenities and easy to check in and out. Scenic drives to Cape Bretton and Antigonish. Kids loved the yard and beach combing right out the door.

This was the most peaceful vacation we have had in a long, long time. It is rare to find an oceanfront cottage with such privacy. The house was extremely well-appointed, as well, with a full kitchen and laundry to make an extended stay even more comfortable. Our host, Steve, provided excellent info on local dining and provisions. He was intent on our enjoying our stay, and made us feel at home. We travel with our 12-year-old dog, and she was instantly comfortable with the surroundings. She seemed to enjoy her stay as much as we did ours. The only caveat I would offer is to ensure that you have a capable vehicle to handle the rocky causeway to the island; not suitable for a low-clearance vehicle. We would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet oceanside getaway.

Our Much Needed Getaway

We stayed at Steve & Danielle's Secluded Oceanfront Cottage for 4 nights in August. The road in made us question whether or not we were going in the right direction but we continued on and arrived at the beautiful property with breathtaking views and amazing sunsets. Check-in was a breeze and everything was perfect. I was very impressed with how attentive Steve was to our stay and the weather we were having. He made a point of ensuring we arrived alright, gave tips on starting up the fire, where to go for the best sunset views and even offered to contact a local fisherman to take us out fishing or sightseeing. He responded immediately if/and when we had a question. We couldn't have asked for better service from our hosts; they really went above and beyond. The mosquitoes nearly carried us away when we arrived but thankfully Steve and Danielle have bug spray on site. Thank you again for a perfect stay!
