Oceanfront Cottage med utrolig udsigt og dæk

Thanks David- great that you enjoyed Cape Breton!

Thanks Noreen-glad you could enjoy the area!

Great to meet you and happy you could visit from so far away!

You seemed to get good weather and fortunately, the ocean warmed up early for you this year! Thanks for visiting TumbleSea.

Thanks for this Ron! Glad you enjoyed the cottage.

Great to have you here Francis, and glad you managed to get some good photos!

Enjoyed meeting you and was glad to help!

Thanks Stephanie!

Thanks for your generous comments Anissa! Glad you could spend more time in Chimney Corner and get to know this part of the Island better. Best beach around!

Always happy to hear we've exceeded expectations- glad we could be part of your Grand Tour of NS!

Excellent guests. Great to meet you both and glad you could spend time away from your own spectacular part of the world!

No doubt, Chimney Corner IS a great place to relax, whether on the beach or on the deck. Look forward to seeing you back.

Thanks for your review Frederick- glad you feel the same way we do, and you put it well: "the impossibly beautiful Gulf of St. Lawrence!"

Was nice to have you both back! August is the perfect time to visit, when the ocean water of the Gulf is at its peak warmth.

Glad to hear that Cape Breton and the cottage will have a place in your memory!

Thanks Daniel! Glad you enjoyed your week here!

Glad you enjoyed the cottage! Even the squirrels! ;)

Great that you had such a good time! It is an amazing Island!

Thanks for the generous review Dan! TumbleSea really is an amazing spot to unwind; being on the cliff over the ocean with all of those sea sounds, breezes on the deck with eagles passing by, the sunsets, and the hiking in and around the National Park. Glad you could enjoy the Kauzmann Trail!

Thanks for the 5-Star review, and for letting me know at the end of your stay just how much you loved it here, and that you plan to return for 2 or 3 weeks next summer! Yes, Cape Breton is “far away…relative to large East Coast cities,” but really, perhaps the point is missed here. It’s not a “downside!” It’s probably in large measure due to its distance from urban centres which both makes Cape Breton extremely attractive to visitors, and what has allowed it to develop such a distinctive, fascinating music and culture, which guests certainly respond to. Local residents, who are unhurried by hectic city rhythms, are very welcoming to visitors; there are also unspoiled hiking trails, untouched vistas, and unbelievably pristine beaches, with relatively few visitors competing for space! In terms of the cottage itself, some of the things which (to this guest) “needed replacement” are actually intentional choices. Our guests have always responded favourably to the mix of contemporary and classic-rustic in our choice of decor and furniture. The bedroom dresser this guest mentions is an vintage Cape Breton piece with character. It’s not posh, but it works, and works in the space. The wood-with-glass doors are chosen carefully, and whenever possible (like this door), still have the original handmade/blown panel glass with which these classic doors were made. This summer has been a intensely wet one, and things are a bit more swollen than they usually would be at this time of year. However, we will check to see if the door can be adjusted.
