The place is really great. There's a spacious patio where we had washer toss games. The shed was full of beach stuff. It's best suited for 4,but the 6 of us were fine.Love the thoughtfulness in the provision of things you might forget,including for the pets.Got to goto Chase the Ace at the fire department where we were truly welcomed by the people from the community. Thank you. We loved our stau at the Sandcastle in the Hood.

We enjoyed a comfortable, peaceful stay in this charming house in Port Hood. The views are lovely and the beach is a short walk away. During our two week stay we were able to get to most of Cape Breton including Port Hawkesbury, Chéticamp, St. Ann’s, Mabou, Judique and Inverness. The host and property manager were gracious and accessible. I would stay here again.

What a wonderful spot to spend a vacation.We were welcomed to a clean, cozy cottage with great views of the ocean.Everything , as far as decor went, was picture perfect...like looking thru a Cottage Life Magazine photo shoot.The host was responsive & even checked in after our arrival, to make sure we were happy with everything. We were pleased to find beach chairs & towels supplied...they've thought of everything.The peaceful quietness of Port Hood was lovely...it didn't take long for us to get used to it.Mike & Rosie ArthursOrillia, On
