This architect-designed cottage is built on a bluff over the ocean and was designed to recall the best aspects of Maritime tradition, but to modernize them with an open-concept interior. It has a summer-y feeling, with a high ceiling, boarded walls and fresh white paint.

Sunsets will knock your socks off. This design is best suited for couples, or couples with one or two children. All on a gorgeous property with 3 large ponds and 2 spring-fed brooks. You'll have a tough time leaving the cottage!

Fishermen haul their lobster traps each year out in front of our cottage. Moose, eagles, deer and foxes are regulars. It's easy to meet people here, and the daily pace here is slower than in most cities. Cape Breton summers are warm-to-hot in the day, but perfect in the evening, and at the shore there are lovely ocean breezes.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Acerca del anfitrión

Anfitrión: Stewart

Foto de perfil del anfitrión
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.

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

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.

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

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. Cheticamp, about 20 minutes away, offers glimpses into Acadian culture. Only minutes from Cheticamp is Cape Breton Highlands National Park, with trails, lookoffs and waterfalls. There are the gorgeous rolling hills and the gorgeous beach near Mabou, There are also renowned crafters in the area; interesting pottery, quilting, rug hooking, and folk art can all be found locally.
