Magical Modern Beach House on Bras D'or Lakes/Surround Deck/Newly Built

Magical Beach House located in Cape Dauphin, in the heart of the Cape. A new 2 level property on the beach with surround deck overlooking the Bras D'or Lakes where you can watch sailboats, lobster boats and wild life and enjoy sea breezes with the smell of the saltwater. The beach is a stone throw away. Private and isolated and away from it all yet a short drive to all the Island has to offer. You are close to so many hikes, North Sydney for groceries, Baddeck with the famous Alexander Graham Bell Museum and shops and restaurants, Gaelic College and the spectacular Cabot Trail. This property was built in 2020 and this will be the first season it will be open for guests. So come and be one of the firsts. We promise it will not disappoint. The cottage is located off the TCH down a well maintained (by the province) gravel road.

Spacious and bright contemporary space with high ceilings and many large windows with spectacular views. The main level boasts new modern kitchen and open concept living area. Large bedroom, full bath, washer/dryer. The kitchen has stylish custom maple cabinets. Main level has maple hardwood throughout and ceramic tile in the bathroom. A custom maple staircase takes you to large loft style second level which has skylights. There are two queen size beds, ensuite full bathroom and large walk in closet. The upper level is engineered floor and ceramic tile in the bathroom.

To bring the outdoors in we have a "screened in" outdoor living space which can be used to relax or dine and a large wrap around deck with modern style glass rails.

Ideal if you are looking for a beautiful, quiet place with exceptional sunrises. The private beach is a bonus. Access to the Cabot Trail was a short drive away. We were able to enjoy the Celtic Colours every day of our stay as the weather was cooperating.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this charming cottage! Everything we needed was provided, and it’s clear the owners take great pride in ensuring guests are comfortable—there were plenty of extra essentials such as toilet paper, paper towels, towels, dish soap, and cloths.The view was absolutely breathtaking, especially watching the sunrise each morning.If you’re looking for a truly relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, I highly recommend this cottage.

Great place to stay to experience Cape Breton!

The 2 bedroom, 3 bed house was great. It was clean, well stocked and located right off the beach. It is quiet with a great view. Highly recommend staying here if you don't mind the drive to get places. Cape Breton in the fall is absolutely beautiful! A must see!

Magical Beach House in Cape Dauphin

The property was lovely and as advertised. The deck and screened in porch were favorite places to relax. Richard the owner was very responsive when we had questions. The location was very private, yet close enough to any needed amenities. There is a trail to the Fairy Hole very near the property. We would happily return!

Awesome Quiet Location

The property was further than we thought from the main highway and the road was rather bumpy and slippery when wet. It's a lovely quiet place with a shoreline path. It was clean & well set up for 2 couples. Oh yes, the internet connection was sporatic so be prepared for that. Thanks Richard for everything!

Cozy, Quaint, Private

We drove from Ontario to Cape Breton to get away from it all. This cottage was great for a couple and small dog. I could also see it suitable for two couples or small family. The cottage has everything you need. The view itself is worth it. We loved watching the fisherman in the mornings with our coffee. It was nice to be able to sit inside, on the deck or in the screen room depending on the weather. The ever-changing skyline was just beautiful. We liked that it was central on the island to get to all of the places we wanted to visit (whale watching, Louisbourg etc.). The cottage is down a gravel road so prepare for that. Also Richard really helped us out when our next VRBO got cancelled at the last minute and left us scrambling far from home and with nowhere to stay. He was able to get us in for another night while we found accommodations. He responds extremely quick. So if you want tranquility and privacy this place has it in spades. Would visit again!

Perfect spot for a family of 4

We chose this property for our first trip to Cape Breton. A wonderful place! Location: beautiful ocean view and if you are an early riser, a spectacular sunrise experience. Stoney beach perfect for evening bonfires. The drive to the property is about 8 minutes off the main road with wonderful views. Good proximity to the Cabot Trail and downtown Sydney. Accommodations: Property has everything you’ll need. One item to note is that the bedroom with 2 queen beds is on the second level which does not have an air conditioning unit. It was very hot for sleeping during our stay in July which had 30 degree C temperatures. If there is a breeze, it cools off in the evening with windows open. Main level bedroom and living area appropriately cooled by the ac unit. Note: this listing mentions a hot tub but there isn’t one. Owner was very attentive to questions when asked. Overall we highly recommend this place if you’re visiting Cape Breton!
