Bell grew up in nearby Margaree Valley, while I grew up in Toronto and have lived here full-time for 30 years. I built this cottage myself with guests in mind; the result is a cottage that has all of the charm of our original SeaSky cottage, but with excellent amenities, and lots of privacy, right beside the ocean.

There is a rich, strong culture here, historically and musically, and life unwinds at its own special pace. In a week you can really get a sense of the rhythms and charm of Cape Breton.

It's 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 lovely ocean breezes.
