This is a beautiful place to stay. It’s tucked away in the woods with lovingly cared for gardens all around, but the house is light and sunny with sea views from almost every window. The hosts are friendly and responsive. The location is great - just down the road from the Celtic Music Interpretive Centre and right on a walking trail that extends along the coast.

Amazing views

Had a great stay. Marcus and and Stephanie were excellent hosts and very helpful with tips on what do and where to eat in the area. The property is very private with amazing views. Only suggestion is adding laundry facilities for extended stays.

Wonderful house in terrific location!

This house if a wonderful place for vacation to Cape Breton. You have privacy and yet you can quickly get to tourist locations and shopping areas. I loved getting up early and taking the stairs down to the beach for a morning walk. The house is brand new with much recent interior renovation. Everything was perfect.

Quiet hideaway

Peaceful spot. Beautiful, well stocked, very clean home. Some markings at the end of the driveway to help us locate it in the evenings would have been helpful. The gardens are beautiful but have grown over the pathways a bit. We would stay here again. We had a relaxing time in this comfortable home with water views.

The house and property is really special. The gardens are gorgeous with flowers and mint everywhere, bees buzzing and incredible views of the water. The hammock is spectacular. The house was very clean and comfortable. The weather ranged from cold, windy and rainy to super hot. It was very comfortable inside the house even with no a/c. Views from primary bedroom are incredible. Kitchen had everything we needed. We swam off the beach and the water was warm (much warmer than PEI). Rocky beach but lots of sandy spots in the water. Access to the beach is down a set of stairs and then involves crawling down some big boulders- a fun adventure if you are physically able but would likely be too challenging with mobility issues. There is access to a beautiful walking/biking trail right near front door. Very private and quiet- the perfect retreat. Highly recommend and would return!

Superbe demeure bien décorée et très confortable avec une vue magnifique sur l’océan. La plage est belle et l’eau est assez chaude pour se baigner. L’aménagement extérieur est aussi superbe avec ses jardins et coins pour relaxer. Mention aussi pour la grande chambre des maîtres ensoleillée avec coin salon; mon coup de cœur dans la maison :)

Absolutely brilliant

Perfect location, perfect property. Really, it’s just heavenly. As frequent travellers, this rental won handily. Our family of four would have loved a washing machine—even without a dryer. The clothesline was put to good use. We will certainly be back again.

For inquiring minds

We so enjoyed the diversity of the environment -- so many different plants along the hiking trail, and the beach has rocks of every description. And every day the ocean presents a different character.

A Wonderful Week

We traveled to Cape Breton this summer, for special events and vacation excursions in the area. Spending a week at The Beardman Art House by the Sea truly enhanced our adventure. The eclectic charm of the home, the carefully displayed artwork, the beautiful gardens and the intriguing ocean access helped to highlight our trip. The owners have created an inviting and comfortable space that pays homage to the original intent of the home and to the artwork of John Beardman. We thank our hosts Stefanie and Marcus, for sharing this space with us. We look forward to visiting again soon. The Molloy Family New Hampshire, USA
