Location: Port Hood, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada (West Coast, Heart of Celtic Culture, 1 1/2 Hours to Sydney)

Accommodations:  Cottage Home, 2 Bedrooms + Loft, 1 Bath (Sleeps 4-7)

Lovely cottage, @1300 sq feet built in 2005, vaulted ceiling, wonderful large loft, used as third bedroom. Beach is perfect for families. Very swimmable water, which at low tide creates warm pools and sand bars just made for water games and exploring. There is a life guarded beach 150 ft to the North.

There are 2 possible launching places for your boat. Big boats @ a mile to the north, small boats on the beach in front of the cottage. Plenty of space to park your boat at the cottage.

Summer is filled with "Ceilidhs"-a Gaelic word that means to dance and party. Traditional fiddle music and Scottish step dancing are indigenous to this area.

There is a computer center in the Library just up the street, as well as a medical clinic in Port Hood.

Owner's Profile

Year Purchased: 1997

Why the Owner Chose Port Hood

The area reminded us of Cape Cod-40 years ago-except no traffic, uncrowded beaches and the Gaelic influence. Cape Breton Island has truly astounding scenery,(We are @ 1 1/2 hours to the Cabot Trail, with wonderful hiking trails and scenic drives everywhere in between.

The Unique Benefits of this Cottage Home

We enjoy the beautiful sandy beach in front of the cottage, a place where if you're lucky, you might see bald eagles teaching their young. We love seeing the fishing boats heading home in the late afternoon. (We hope they're heavy with lobsters)

    • This cottage is indeed FABULOUS as advertized. Its location is amazing - you truly can enjoy a breath taking sunset over the water every evening just sitting on the deck. The house is clean and new with lots of windows to catch the constant Cape Breton ocean breezes. If you are into Celtic music you are right in the midst of the Ceilidh Trail and will find something nearby every day. Pick up lobsters at the local fisherman's COOP and boil them yourself in the pot provided in the well-equipped kitchen. At first we considered the lack of decent TV reception and no DVD player connection a negative - but in the end we appreciated not wasting our time in front of the TV and instead enjoying one-another's company, playing games, and taking in the beautiful beach surroundings. My daughter just couldn't wait to get back to the house each evening and take a swim in the warm water at sunset. Ms. McFarland was very easy to work with...overall it was a great stay!!
