À propos de cet hébergement

Belle Oceanside Cottage avec des vues spectaculaires

Ce magnifique chalet en bord de mer est situé à cinq minutes du Cabot Trail sur une propriété de 150 acres et a été présenté dans les magazines Canadian House and Home et Victoria.

Vous adorerez l’air pur et le bruit des vagues qui roulent sur les rochers sous SeaSky. Il n'est qu'à deux minutes de la plage elle-même. Ce chalet conçu par un architecte est construit sur une falaise au-dessus de l'océan et a été conçu pour rappeler les meilleurs aspects de la tradition maritime, mais pour les moderniser avec un intérieur à aire ouverte. Il a une sensation d'été, avec un haut plafond, des murs en bois et une peinture blanche fraîche. Les couchers de soleil feront tomber vos chaussettes. Cette conception convient mieux aux couples ou aux couples avec un ou deux enfants. Il y a une grande terrasse avec un barbecue et une vue imprenable. Les vues sur l'océan et la plage sont à couper le souffle! En vous relaxant au chalet le soir, vous serez rassuré par la cadence régulière du phare de l'île Margaree.

Au rez-de-chaussée, il y a un canapé en cuir incroyablement confortable, qui est assez long pour s'étendre confortablement (et sieste) .La zone de lit du deuxième étage propose deux lits queen de chaque côté du loft. Cette zone est accessible par un escalier régulier avec un palier. Il y a un poêle à bois robuste au rez-de-chaussée, ce qui est génial d'avoir un soir de printemps ou d'automne frais. Pour les jours de pluie, il y a une bibliothèque bien garnie et des jeux pour les enfants. La terrasse spacieuse à l'extérieur offre un barbecue et une vue incroyable sur l'océan, la plage, l'île et l'horizon. Vous aurez du mal à quitter le chalet!

Le chalet SeaSky est également proche des nouveaux parcours de golf de Cabot Cliffs et Cabot Links acclamés en bord de mer, qui ne sont qu'à 20 minutes et offrent une expérience de golf unique à Inverness. Le parc national est à 30 minutes, le Cabot Trail à cinq minutes.

Les pêcheurs tirent chaque année leurs casiers à homards devant notre chalet. L'orignal, l'aigle, le cerf et le renard sont des habitués. Il est facile de rencontrer des gens ici, et le rythme quotidien ici est plus lent que dans la plupart des villes. C'est agréable d'être dans un endroit où vous n'avez pas besoin de climatisation; Les étés du Cap-Breton sont chauds à chaud pendant la journée, mais parfaits le soir, et sur le rivage il y a des brises océaniques pour garder les insectes à distance. La plage de Chimney Corner est l'une des plus belles de l'île, mais comme elle n'est pas visible depuis la route, elle est généralement inoccupée pendant la semaine - en plus des belles plages et de la baignade, il y a des formations rocheuses intéressantes à explorer à proximité. Le Cap-Breton est un endroit spectaculaire, et vous trouverez le paysage de cette partie de la côte particulièrement frappant.

Il y a une culture riche et forte ici, historiquement et musicalement, et la vie se déroule à son rythme. Bien qu'une visite de trois jours sur l'île ne soit pas rare, une semaine est plus que nécessaire pour vraiment avoir une idée des rythmes et du charme du Cap-Breton.

Bien que SeaSky soit maintenant entièrement réservé de juin à août, si vos dates sont réservées, vous pouvez également consulter nos autres cottages Oceanside Eagles Pass # 277105, TumbleSea # 4265347. Le Cap # 382569, ou Deep Blue Sea # 3490361, sont un peu plus éloignés de l'océan, mais offrent des vues spectaculaires et sont hors de vue les uns des autres.

Les visiteurs américains devraient savoir qu'ils obtiennent maintenant environ 25% de rabais sur notre taux canadien publié en raison de la valeur du dollar.)

Cape Breton beauty

Loved our stay in this cozy, private cottage overlooking the water. Spectacular views and breathtaking sunsets. Our host, Stewart, was welcoming and offered helpful tips. We visited the national park, hiked, and enjoyed the music and food.

Unbelievable location/view! Perfect for the secluded retreat we were after for exploring the area. Stewart was so kind to give us a “locals perspective” on the must see spots during our limited time. Bald Eagles/seals/whales all from our deck! Cannot recommend this place enough!!!

Breathtaking views! Much privacy…relaxing and peaceful. Eagles seen every day! Seal came to visit us one day at the beach..so many wonderful memories at this cottage. Our host was ther to welcome us shortly after arriving, ensuring our safety during a really windy day of storming and to get us acquainted with the property and areas of interest on Cabot Trail

Amazing week

We had a fantastic time at Sea Sky. The location of the cottage was just as we wanted. It felt secluded but was still within an easy drive of stores/restaurants/park. The views are stunning, and we sat on the deck daily to enjoy them. The rest of the cottage was just as advertised, clean, and cozy. For stargazers, the night sky is very dark, and I was able to take some great photos of the Milky Way stretching over the cottage.

Cape Breton SeaSky Cottage

Beautiful spot! We had never been to NS or CP so it was fun to explore the area (arrived via car ferry through Yarmouth, NS - drove home via Saint John, NB). Many things to do close to the cottage. Great hikes in nearby provincial and the national parks. However, the best part was just relaxing on the deck and watching the ocean. Cabin faces west and the sunsets were amazing. Also very dark skies with incredible stargazing. We mostly cooked at home (well stocked, modern kitchen), but had excellent meals at L'abri, Cafe Les Suêtes, and the Dancing Goat.

Breathtaking Beauty and Friendly Host

We stayed in SeaSky cottage for the past week and it was a wonderful experience. The cottage felt modern and rustic at the same time, with lovely art/decor and all the tools in the kitchen for at home meals if one wishes. Stewart and his wife have created a little paradise, with keen attention to detail, a generosity in welcoming and offering lots of ideas for itineraries all over Cape Breton. We heard over 20 different species of birds one morning (thanks Merlin) and a couple of mornings saw fin whales right in front of the cottage. And the view! The sunsets! We hope to come back sometime! Loved it!

Bliss Beside a Cape Breton Sea.

A cozy architectural wonder of charming g decoration facing that vast expanse of ocean called the Gulf of St. Lawerence, where bald headed eagles made eye contact flying past the kitchen in the morning and sunsets worthy of Van Gogh’s brush ended every day. This property and its owners are class personified.

Incredible!

SeaSky cottage is phenomenal! It was the perfect jumping off spot for hiking in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park and for sightseeing on the Cabot Trail outside the park. Although hiking was the reason for our Cape Breton adventure, we could easily have stayed at the cottage all day - reading on the deck, watching the lobster boats, birdwatching, and taking a short walk to the nearby beach. Stewart is a fantastic host. He provided loads of suggestions for adventures, food, and entertainment. It is clear that he loves Cape Breton and wants to share his enthusiasm with all. We could not have asked for a better first time visit to Cape Breton and will definitely return to SeaSky cottage!

Fabulous Cape Breton Location

The property is ideally located for exploring all of Cape Breton. Our week-long stay was filled with hikes and drives around the Cabot Trail, visits to local fishing villages, and trips out to Sydney, Glace Bay (highly recommend the mining museum tour), Louisbourg, the Bras d'Or lake region (especially Baddeck and a boat tour out to the bird islands), Inverness, and Mabou (try a bike ride on the trails there), and much more! The highlight was the in-depth information and recommendations about trails, restaurants, and more made by Stewart on the day we arrived - it led us off the beaten track to some wonderful trails and great food, with the added benefit of meeting some amazing locals. In fact, we brought home the much used map of the region that he kindly gave us with all his recommendations as a souvenir of the trip. This was an incredibly relaxing, adventurous, and rejuvenating vacation for us and we highly recommend the property and location.

Beautiful setting

We totally enjoyed our stay at Seascape. The sunsets were spectacular. Stewart is the ultimate host- he provided very thorough information when we booked the cottage. When we arrived, he gave us great ideas to explore the area. The cottage is decorated with different pieces of art, which was fun to explore. Shower and heated bathroom floor were a nice bonus. We had a wonderful afternoon at Red Shoe Pub, listening to fiddle and bagpipe music. Loved West Mabou Harbor beach and the boardwalk at Inverness Beach. We took a boat to Bird Island and saw seals, puffins, and eagles. On Wednesdays, Normaway Inn has music in the barn. Spent a nice evening with dinner and show (fiddle and piano). Also went on the cabot trail to white point and saw a play at Baddeck Theatre. Very relaxing and fun week. You will enjoy your time here!

Wonderful experience. Breathtakingly beautiful. Just what the doctor ordered. For landlubbers like us it was a dream come true - seaside cottage on a cliff overlooking Chimney Corner beach and the deep blue sea. Great hiking all around. Sterwart steered us to spectacular sights and sounds. Red Shoe Pub in Mabou a hit food wise. Can’t wait to return.

Comfortable beds, great style and the kitchen has everything you need if your are making meals at home. Stewart was so helpful, he had wonderful tips and suggestions that we wouldn't have figured out on our own. We had a lot of privacy, and Stewart was available by email if we ever had any questions. I would highly recommend this spot.

Truly Amazing Vacation Cottage

I cannot begin to describe how truly amazing our vacation was on Cape Breton Island. First, our hosts Stewart and Bell were so gracious and accommodating. Stewart spent over an hour with us going over the many exciting things to do in the area and made dining recommendations that were spot on. It was a very peaceful and relaxing escape for us. There were so many enjoyable aspects of our time here. We would have to include the views from the deck of the cottage as one of the truly memorable parts of the trip. Each night the sunsets were amazing. We very much appreciated the tranquility of the location. The hiking, the beaches and friendly local residents all added to the enjoyment of the trip. This is a rare find and I would happily return any time. I highly recommend this property.

The pictures on the website don't lie, except that it's even better to be there in person! Stewart and Bell are great (helpful if you need it, not intrusive if you just want to veg). Don't miss Bell's Baddeck shop - one, if not THE nicest on the island - or breakfast/lunch at the Dancing Goat Cafe. Plenty of things to do within easy driving distance (mostly nature related), but you may not want to leave the cottage. Nirvana for those who want to get away from it all. My only caution is that given the cottage's proximity to a cliff, I'd think twice before booking if traveling with small children. HIGHLY recommended (just please leave a week or two open for me each year)!

Chimney Corner Cottage

Amazing week on Cape Breton! Seasky Cottage was the perfect place to stay to explore the area. Stewart gave us wonderful recommendations for hiking, eating and music. My only regret is that we didn’t have enough time to check them all off. The cottage was just as pictured, comfortable and tastefully decorated. We appreciated the cd’s, books and games for the evening hours after the sunsets were over. The views from the deck and living room were spectacular. Don’t miss the authentic entertainment in the Barn after a dinner at the Normaway Inn in Margaree. We loved the the hike at White Point to the Mariners Cemetery and beyond. If you Enjoy hiking, don’t miss the Skyline hike in the park. Be sure and pick up cooked lobster at the Seafood Stop in Cheticamp. We didn’t get a chance to go to the Red Shoe for supper and music, but we are already planning our next trip.

Fantastic Cape Breton Trip

Where to begin describing how absolutely fantastic our trip to Cape Breton and Seasky cottage was… From our initial contact with Stewart (the owner) to our arrival and his meeting us with helpful suggestions of things to see and do, everything was perfect. The cottage was clean, cozy, peaceful and the views simply unmatched, especially sunsets on the deck with a glass of wine. A couple of the mornings we saw pods of whales swimming by while having coffee. The cottage is so simply yet tastefully decorated! Everything you need is there! We explored different parts of Cape Breton every day and were awed by the beauty of the island and friendliness of the local residents. We hiked in the National Park (White Pt. a must), golfed, beached a day, visited a few museums, the Glenora distillery and a few breweries. We ate at several of Stewart’s recommendations, Dancing Goat a must! We attended a Ceilidh in Baddeck and enjoyed the local music we heard in a few of the pubs. We hope to return to Cape Breton again in the future, perhaps for one of the festival s and would absolutely stay at Seasky again!!

Spectacular!

Seasky cottage is a dream. Set on a cliff overlooking Chimney Corner Beach, it has by far the most breathtaking view we’ve experienced as longtime vrbo renters. My husband and I joked that even doing our dishes was a treat because of the seascape visible through the window. The cottage itself is elegantly designed and decorated and offered every comfort and practical item we needed. We enjoyed cooking several meals in the well-appointed kitchen area. The gorgeous deck gave us front row seats for seal spotting, bird watching and an ever changing sky including otherworldly sunsets. I’m so glad I packed my watercolors. The bedroom loft with skylights brought peaceful sleeps and cheery mornings. Reading, listening to music, playing games and planning our adventures were all a pleasure in this living space. The location was ideal. We had the privacy and serenity we were hoping for but were just a stone’s throw away from a number of beautiful beaches, the Cabot Trail, Cape Breton Highlands National Park, the Ceilidh Trail, Margaree River Valley, Mabou Mines Trails and more. It was the perfect nest from which to explore the richness and magic of Cape Breton. Our stay was so rewarding in large part because of our hosts. Stewart gave us an orientation to the region and generously offered his recommendations. We headed down roads and trails, opened doors and met good folks we may never have encountered without his prompting. It was an unforgettable holiday!

Exceptional property and host

We thoroughly enjoyed our (too short) weeklong stay at Seasky cottage. It provided exactly what we needed for our vacation. It had all the amenities one would need in a property. The cottage was very clean, comfortable and welcoming, and provided lots of restful peace and quiet. There were beautiful sunsets and sunrises over the ocean with a lovely beach near by. We watched the fisherman haul in the lobster traps and reset them each morning, and watched a pair of eagles on the cliff near the beach. Stewart was a wonderful host, friendly and very knowledgeable - providing great insight into unique hikes, sight seeing and restaurants. The cottage is located in a great location for getting to many sites on Caper Breton including Cape Breton National Park, Baddeck (lobster supper), and so forth. We enjoyed the recommended White Point hiking trail that leads to the unknown sailor memorial site. A nearby café/restaurant not to miss for breakfast and/or lunch is the Dancing Goat in Margaree Forks. We were sorry to leave but intend to return in the future. We highly recommend staying at Seasky or the other of Stewart’s nearby cottages. You could not ask for a better property or host.

On the glorious edge of sea and sky

Stayed for a week in July. Sunsets, from an unencumbered view, provided nightly entertainment and our most cherished memories. The cottage is pretty much as advertised - cute, clean, well-stocked, great front deck. Owner Stewart joined us for a drink on the deck on our arrival and generously spent time providing recommendations and marking up a map for us. Didn't realize his property was right behind us as angle of the photos and drone footage don't reveal that, however, our space was respected and the cottage is situated facing out to the water (and the parking is in separate spot too) so it maintains a sense of privacy. We were 2 people and cottage was perfect size; not sure would work for a family or more than one couple as both beds are in the open concept loft (which means noise downstairs travels to the upstairs if your sleep schedules are not aligned) and the stairs themselves could be tricky for little ones or older folk. Beds themselves were okay - a little low and mattress was not super supportive. Would have also loved an extra reading light in the living room once the sunset show called it a night. But these are just quibbles for a place to which we'd most definitely want to return if Toronto was but closer! As for the cottage locale - nice midway spot between Mabou and the national park. The local beach was usually empty (except for jellies!); we preferred the beach at Inverness but still was nice to be able to look through the window over at the local beach while washing dishes! Stewart's recommendations for things to do held up, including delicious kimchi grilled cheese sandwiches from Brook Village Grocery. Was difficult to find fresh fish in grocery stores oddly enough (though finally got some delicious takeout pre-cooked lobster from The Seafood Stop) and I would recommend visitors bring any favourite food stuffs with them as the local stores have limited offerings. But overall, a fantastic getaway.

Image de profil de l’hôte
Bell and I built the cottage in 1994 as a summer house when we hadn't yet settled permanently in Cape Breton. We are both artists, and when we decided to live here all year 'round, in 1997, we needed more room–we built another building to contain studio and production space and commuted between the buildings every day. Eventually, over the years, we migrated to the larger building permanently, and used the cottage for studio space and for guests. So, the cottage is a special place for us, and we laboured for years to make it right.

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?

Cape Breton is a spectacular place, and the scenery on this stretch of coast is particularly striking; it can also be dramatic, with 130 kph winds at many points of the year. There is such a rich culture here, historically and musically, and life unwinds at its own special pace. We see some of the most dramatic sunsets anywhere, watch whales play in our front yard, and fishermen haul their lobster traps every year. There are the gorgeous rolling hills of Mabou, and the town of Inverness, which offers music, pubs and food; the acclaimed new Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs golf courses (rated #43 and #9 in the world by Golf Digest) by the sea, which are only 20 minutes away and offer a unique golfing experience in Inverness. Moose, eagles, deer and foxes are regulars. It's easy to meet people, and the daily rhythm here is slower than in most cities; we visit neighbours and friends whenever we can, as we are busy in the summer months. It's also nice to be in a place where you don't need air-conditioning; Cape Breton summers are warm-to-hot in the day, but perfect in the evening, and at the shore there are breezes to keep any bugs at bay. Chimney Corner beach is one of the finest on the island, but because it is not visible from the road, it's usually unoccupied during the week– we love to take our dog Ryder there for a good run.

Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?

Chimney Corner beach is one of the finest on the island, and it's mostly unoccupied during the week– in addition to the fine beach and swimming, there are interesting rock formations to explore nearby. Cape Breton is a spectacular place, and you'll find the scenery on this stretch of coastline particularly striking.

There is no shortage of things to do in the area. There's a lovely new restaurant opening this summer just a half-mile north of this cottage. In addition to Chimney Corner beach, there are other great beaches to check out nearby: Whale Cove (5 minutes away) at which you can explore a fabulous bluff by the sea, with great views north and south, Margaree Harbour (7 minutes away), with its beach and two lighthouses, the Broad Cove area, which offers a spectacular scenic drive, a great beach and a buffalo ranch.
