Location: Ingonish, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada (1.5 hours from Sydney airport, 5 hours from Halifax airport) View Map
Accommodations: Cottage, 1 Bedroom + Loft + Den, 1.5 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
This harbourfront house is fully equipped including a laundry and full bath on the main level. The mainlevel bedroom has two twin beds that can be used separately or put together to form a queen and the open concept loft has a queen size bed and half bath. There is a pull out queen/chesterfield in the upstairs den for overflow.
The guest house (rented separately) offers a comfortable bed sitting room with en suite bath. It has a small private deck that is perfect for watching the sun rise from the ocean in the stillness of the morning.
The gravel beach provides an ample supply of driftwood for bonfires under the stars. The only neighbors are the sailboats that occasionally overnight at anchor in the harbor.
This is a great property for children and adults alike. The beach does not drop off quickly and there are no currents to worry about. Life jackets are provided for fishing off the wharf or using the watercraft.

Map & Owner's Profile
Ingonish Harbourfront Cottage
Year Purchased: 1992
Why the Owner Chose Ingonish
Ingonish has always been a favorite summer getaway for our family. There are so many things to do. We used to belong to a fitness club in the city but now our daily routine includes hiking, walking,swimming, golfing, kayaking, scuba diving, snow shoeing - you name it. Who needs a health club! The air here is so unbelievably fresh that we hate to go to the city any more.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
Our property is literally right on the harbour. You could cast a line from the deck. A few years ago the community built a public wharf next door (1/2 km) and there is usually lots of activity to observe from our deck with fisherman and whale watch operators coming and going.
Owner's Map of Ingonish
We are Jim and Sharon Gunn. We built our cottage in 1992 as a recreational home but after two years we decided we liked the rural lifestyle much more than city life so we moved to the cottage permanently in 1994. Last year we moved into a new home across the harbour and that is why we are renting our cottage. Jim is the local land surveyor.
