Oceanside Cottage with Stunning Views 3 min. to Beach, near Cabot Trail & Park
This stunning oceanside cottage in a spectacular setting is located five minutes from the Cabot Trail on a 130-acre property
Featured in the March/ April 2025 issue of Cottage Life Magazine “Home from Away; 6 DREAMY CABINS ON CAPE BRETON” Some of what article had to say:
“six magical cottages... "
“SeaSky cottages offer more than just panoramic views,…coastal-chic interiors and the sea and sky that stretches for miles..”
“Stewart wanted each of the cottages to feel distinctly Maritime, inside and out....In every space are books, art and quirky accents.”
TwoBySea cottage books by the week, Sunday to Sunday
Features you'll love:
• two cabins connected by wraparound decking, located close to the ocean with complete privacy. (Separate cabins allow you have some privacy when catching up on work or by putting kids to bed without disturbing them.)
• both cabins face the ocean, with incredible views and sunsets.
• these lovely open structures have vaulting ceilings, lending cabins a bright and airy feel; one cabin has living room / kitchen, the other has the bedroom / bathroom.
• luxurious deck surrounding both cabins, the largest we offer at over 800 square feet.
• contemporary yet rustic furnishings, large leather couch, walls whitewashed boards, beautiful artwork, sleek Pine floors and cedar shingles outside in classic Cape Breton style.
• EV charging: 40 AMP dedicated charger (full charge in 8 hours) in the private parking area.
• sleek work area in Bedroom Cabin, with beautiful handmade desk and device charger
• wi-fi and a very fast Fibre-op internet connection.
• Queen bed + set of bunk beds in Bedroom cabin.
• bright, fully-tiled bathroom with heated floors; shower with window facing the ocean.
• a fully-equipped kitchen with handmade dining table. All necessaries included: linens, towels, kitchen staples, soaps.
• large deck, Adirondack chairs and gas BBQ.
• electric heat + working wood stove in the living room is great for cozy Fall days.
• private parking 2-3 cars
• both cabins are fully accessible.
• whales, eagles, and fishing boats pass by in front, and sightings of deer, moose, bobcats and foxes.
• good restaurants, grocery stores, music, crafters, hiking and world-class golf at Cabot Cliffs close-by (15 min. to a half-hour)
• famous Chimney Corner beach 3 minutes away with safe swimming for kids. Two other beaches within 6 minutes; Cabot Trail 5 minutes, National Park 30 minutes.
Although there are not many reviews for this new cottage, please check our other listings/ reviews to get a sense of the experience we offer here.
If your preferred weeks happen to be booked, please check our other lovely cottage listings: VRBO #4265347 #277105 #203860 #382569 #3490361.
The charming, cedar-shingled structures were created in the island’s traditional building style, yet they are definitively modern—spacious, filled with amenities, and flooded with natural light. Looking out over the ocean, you’ll have some of the most memorable vistas in all of Cape Breton, and take in every incredible sunset, every passing eagle.
Sliding-glass doors in each cabin open onto surrounding decks which join the cabins. The leather couch in the Living room is a perfect spot for connecting with friends, digging into a good book, or just gazing out to sea. Watch storms develop on the horizon and play themselves out before they reach you.
When you can tear yourself away, you will find our coast to be one of the most spectacular parts of Cape Breton, with lots of beaches (three within 5 minutes) dramatic cliffs, great restaurants and world-class golf at the nearby Cabot courses.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Stewart Applegath
I have been living here for 26 years, and Bell grew up in Cape Breton, in Margaree Valley, just 20 minutes away. We met in art school in Halifax, and after living in New York for a few years, we moved back here permanently in 1997. We both love Cape Breton, which comes alive in June and the weather stays awesome until October. There are plenty of beautiful places to explore here, even if you have lived here for 26 years!
Why they chose this property
I started building this cottage in 2021-it opened in June 2022; there was a dramatic spot on the property with spectacular views. These views of the ocean and Sea Wolf/Margaree Island are simply amazing. There is also all of the privacy one could want here. This connected two-structure building is a perfect getaway for a couple, or a young family with up to 2 kids, with complete privacy and solitude. There's just nothing else like this cottage in Cape Breton. There's a real sense of romance and intimacy here, a massive deck, wrapping around allowing maximum ease and offering a platform for stunning panoramas of the area and ocean.
What makes this property unique
Cape Breton is a spectacular place, and the scenery on this stretch of coast is particularly striking; the mountains, dramatic plunging cliffs and ocean make a stunning combination. it can also be dramatic, with 90-120 kph winds at many points of the year. The ocean is warm enough for swimming in the summer. TwoBySea offers cool evening breezes even on summer nights, and we see some of the most dramatic sunsets anywhere. Whales play in our front yard, and fishermen haul their lobster traps each year. Moose, eagles, deer and foxes are regulars.
You are also close to the Cabot Trail (5 minutes), the National Park (30 minutes), and other towns and villages (5-15 minutes). If you are a golfer, you are close to Cabot Links & Cliffs in Inverness (18 minutes), which offer one of the great and unique golf experiences in North America. Cabot Cliffs is now ranked 9th in the world (!!) and was developed by the same folks who developed Bandon Dunes in Oregon. The acclaim for Cabot is pretty much unanimous-from the New York Times to Golf Digest.
You can also take advantage of local restaurants, eat freshly cooked lobster or crab, and be only a short distance from one of the best hiking networks outside the Park, between Mabou and Inverness. There's also a fantastic boardwalk in Inverness, only 20 minutes away, which winds its way along the oceanfront, beach and golf course. There are also renowned crafters in the area; interesting quilting, rug hooking, and folk art, all worth a look.
