You’ll find them nestled on 6 acres on the shores of the largest inland sea, the Bras d'Or lake in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada just 10 minutes from North Sydney. You are in the heart of golf country with 3 courses within 30 minutes of the cottages.
Each cottage has a commanding view and are on the shore of the Bras d’Or Lake and Kelly’s Mountain
We have 2 two bedroom, one with deck and the other with sunroom with daybed and one bachelor cottage that has a queen size bed. There is a private sandy beach on the property for swimming and boating. All have full kitchens and baths. All linen, BBQ, full free fast internet access, playground for children, even firewood for the fire on the beach.

About the host
Hosted by Mark and Gina Ryan

Originally known as Sampson's Cottages, Mark and Gina took over the family business in 2002 and made many updates. We call our business, "View of the Sea Cottages" after the Gaelic name, Sealladh Na Mara. We have loved welcoming visitors from around the world for over 20 years and looking forward to welcoming more for years to come. Our favourite visitors are those of family reunions. We just love seeing families coming together and enjoying themselves in seeing each other an experiencing what we have to offer.
Why they chose this property
We love the location of the cottages because they are at the mouth of the Bras d'Or Lake with the Atlantic Ocean yet 10 minutes from the town of North Sydney.. Our love of boating, fishing, hunting helped us fall in love for our area.
What makes this property unique
Our cottages are located in the middle of Cape breton Island where you can travel an hour and a half in any direction and you will find yourself on an another shore of the island. By being so central, just 10 minutes from North Sydney, everything the island has to offer is available for you when you visit. At the cottages you have all the comforts of home and more: beach, fire pit, playground for children and horseshoes.
