About the host
Hosted by Alex Moore
We invite you stay in our favorite place in the world. We have three young kids and have built so many memories over the years visiting this special cottage. Cheticamp has become our second home: we love to spend our summers running around the grassy yard, basking in the sun, playing by the beach, spending evenings by the fire pit, and exploring the Cape Breton Highlands each day.
Why they chose this property
Having vacationed ourselves in this house years ago, we fell in love with the place and purchased the property ourselves a few years ago. We welcome you to experience our special Cottage on Sunset Lane -- we know you will love this slice of Cape Breton as much as we do.
What makes this property unique
This property is unique in the area: it's secluded from neighbors yet within a few minutes' drive from everything Cheticamp has to offer. You can walk to the beach. The ocean is right out the front windows. And it's a classic Acadian cottage.
