The Sailors Rest House is located on the beautiful Isle Madame, the French Acadian heart of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia (Eastern Shore). Originally built by the first settlers in the mid-1800s, Sailors Rest has recently been fully renovated and now offers comfortable rooms equipped with bright furniture and handcrafted driftwood beach art. Here you can enjoy two cozy rooms with twin beds (one extendable to 2x2m = 78x78inch) on the first floor or watch the sunset from the elevated couch on the ground floor.
You will immediately enjoy the L-shape deck, located on a 35,514 sq. ft. property, bordering the rocks and one of the 7 sand and pebbles beaches with lots of privacy.
