Exceptional in every way. The space is clean, the accommodations are SO comfortable, and everything you could need for your stay was inside. We were blown away by how prepared the space was! Will be thinking about this place for the rest of my life probably.

Perfect for the two of us.

We enjoyed our stay. Great view from the deck. The location was perfect for accessing the Cabot trail and the area venues for the Celtic Colours festival. We would highly recommend this property.

This was a great place. I highly recommend it. In fact, it surpassed my expectations and was by far the best of the seven places we stayed on this trip. We met the host and he was great. He had just installed a brand new barbecue. The place was so well stocked and it was like a home away from home. Although we did not need it, there was even a child’s bumper seat. The bed was comfortable and surprisingly quiet at night as one side is on the street side. The other side is on the water and we could sit out on Adirondack chairs and just enjoy the ducks. I cannot say enough for this property. It is an A Plus

Summer Breeze

We stayed 2 weeks in Cheticamp and enjoyed every minute. The people are kind and friendly, the Highlands National Park is stunning and the music makes you want to dance. Seaside Shack is well appointed and waking up to an ocean breeze is amazing.

Beautiful get away

This is an absolutely gorgeous place with a beautiful view and close to many little boutiques and shops that one looks for in a small town. The only small criticism I would make is that the siding has been changed to blue/turquoise, and was hard to find since the picture shows white siding.

Absolutely perfect.

Location was great, can’t get any closer to the ocean. Bed and pillows comfortable. Well stocked. Cheticamp is a perfect little village to stay for a week. Well stocked. Communication with owner was great. Can watch lobster boats docking from the deck. Would highly recommend!

Perfect base to explore northern Cape Breton

A beautifully functional apartment in the middle of Cheticamp, right next to Breton Highlands National Park for drives and hiking. Everything was in good condition and convenient to use. There's road noise since the apartment is right next to the main road through town; we got used to it quickly. Gorgeous sunset views over the harbor from the back deck.

Outstanding in every way; very clean, very efficient, everything was as hoped for. Bed especially comfortable, and a delightful view. We would definitely hope to return. On a side note the Bird Island boat tour was spectacular weather, perfect for a boatload of bird photographers! Puffins galore and abou 15 Bald Eagles! Very highly recommended.Thank you, Jonathan for your support and advice, you were a great host!Doug

Excellent home base for Cape Breton Island excursions

This property exceeded our expectations. Comfortable bed, loved the ceiling fans (didn't have to use AC) Coffee maker and coffee/tea. Lots of comfortable seating in the tv room. Nice shower and full sized toilet (it's a rareity in the area it seems). I'd like to take this property and plant it in all the locations we visit. It's perfectly located to walk to the grocery and liquor stores, and a lovely little boardwalk in the town. Great restaurants as well. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

On the water

The gentleman who was the host was very pleasant & accommadating. The place was very clean & cozy.It was furnished well & had everything you would need in it. It was nice & private. I took my husband to Cape breton to fish & stay for a couple of days for his 60th birthday. we had a great time. It was exactly what we were told it was & what we seen in pictures. the Evangeline diner across the street, great food & friendly people.

Cape Breton

Cheticamp is a great base for all kinds of activities in Cape Breton. A short drive from golf and kayaking in Inverness; hiking in the national park; and even exploring over in Ingonish. Good restaurants, take-out seafood nearby, and an excellent French bakery - we stopped every morning. The house was cozy and comfortable. Enjoyed the back deck for dinner and sunset! Traffic on the road during the day disappears at night! We made good use of the national park pass!

Gorgeous views, excellent location

I love this little Seaside Shack! The location is fantastic, the views from the house are gorgeous, and Jon is responsive and well organized. Jon has a park pass available for his guests to use. The place has its own wash machine and dryer, Netflix and other streaming channels are available for those rainy days when you stay in, the kitchen is equiped with dishes you need for cooking, there's a Keurig machine and coffee pods available for use ... It feels like Jon thought of everything. Very cute Seaside Shack that has a modern but cozy feel to it. Gypsum Mine lake is about a 10 minutes drive up the hill, the park entrance and the Salmon Pools are about 5-7 minutes drive along the coast, grocery store is a 30 seconds drive, and beautiful vistas are literally a few sex nds away - right outside in the deck. Just don't forget to visit the local Aucoin bakery that opens at 7 am, but warm Kaiser buns are ready around 10 am. I will be back to Seaside Shack; already planning my next year's visit to the Highlands.

The shack was the perfect place for us to explore Cape Breton. It was well equipped, clean and comfortable - one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in! The ocean view in the bedroom was beautiful and being able to sit out on the deck each morning and after a day exploring was heaven. Cheticamp was a great base with shops and places to eat. Highly recommend Last Chance Sandwich to pick up lunch for a hike, the Doryman for some live music and the Acadian Hike. Fully recommend staying here!

Great property right on the water!

The Seaside Shack is the perfect home base for exploring the Cape Breton National Park. The accommodation is well presented and has all the comforts of home. Though the A/C is listed as 'old & unreliable', we stayed in 30C heat with no issues whatsoever. The breeze off the water is perfect. A terrific stay!
