A Contemporary Cottage in Cape Breton
This cottage is designed with an eye to the Maritime. A vaulted 27-foot cathedral ceiling and two whole walls of windows give the cottage a spacious airy feel, as well as spectacular views and exposure to ocean breezes. The floor is made of 150-year-old pine, and the walls finished with traditional horizontal boards and fresh white paint.
A Contemporary Cottage in Cape Breton
Romantic one-bedroom, one-bath cottage set on a bluff overlooking the ocean and Margaree Island in scenic Cape Breton. The cottage is designed with an eye to the Maritime.
A vaulted 27-foot cathedral ceiling and two whole walls of windows give the cottage a spacious airy feel, as well as spectacular views and exposure to ocean breezes. The floor is made of 150-year-old pine, and the walls finished with traditional horizontal boards and fresh white paint.
The interior of the cottage is fully furnished and has a wood-burning stove and electric heating for cooler months. An outdoor deck is the perfect place to watch the whales that pass by from time to time.
The cottage is located within five minutes of a large beach. You can see fishers and lobster boats haul in their daily catch in front of the cottage, and buy their catch at nearby Margaree Harbor. The house is not visible from the road, ensuring total privacy.
The area has plenty of natural amenities to enjoy, ranging from miles of biking trails, to fly fishing for salmon in the Margaree River, to exploring nearby Chimney Corner Beach and Cove. There are also lots of cultural activities and local Celtic music to enjoy at restaurants, pubs and concerts.
Around
Located at the eastern end of Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island lies along the Gulf of St. Lawrence where the famous Cabot Trail roadway encircles the island. Passing through rugged coastline and forests and along the edges of Cape Breton Highlands National Park, the road takes you through spectacular scenic beauty.
Less than thirty minutes north, the park has an extensive network of hiking trails including the Skyline Trail that overlooks the gulf, as well as dramatic waterfalls, rivers and highlands. Both the fabulous beach and bluffs of Whale Cove and the beaches and lighthouse of Margaree Harbor are within a few minutes drive, while the beach nearest the cottage is ideal for swimming in warm months.
Head south down the dramatically beautiful Broad Cove Road on the way to the town of Inverness, with it's great pubs and cafes as well as a local music and arts and crafts scene. With its mix of Celtic, Acadian and Native cultures, the island has a rich history and unique traditions with various music and cultural festivals throughout the year. A breeding ground for migratory whales, the area is also home to a diverse and abundant array of wildlife.

The Guestbook
See what our community is saying about SeaSky Cottage.
We cannot say enough about our stay at SeaSky cottage. The cottage itself is a beautiful space - so very well designed, comfortable and fitting perfectly into its surroundings. And the view is beyond description - absolutely stunning. One of the best we have seen on an island with so many fantastic views. We saw bald eagles daily, seals and a pod of pilot whales – right from the cottage! We were able to see a glimpse of the other cottages and they looked equally nice - it is a beautiful and very well maintained property. Stewart himself was so friendly - meeting us soon after arrival and giving us some really good tips on how to enjoy our stay on Cape Breton Island (We followed most of them-they were great tips!). We highly recommend SeaSky cottages.
The cottage was amazing, beyond our expectations. Stewart was exceptional with everything, especially guiding us to places to see, with maps and directions. It was an epic vacation, even the weather gave us a taste of almost every type, a true representation of Cape Breton.
The property was spectacular. The sky was endless. Perfect for sunsets and stargazing. Stewart was so kind and helpful. He dedicated his time informing us of all there is to do in the area. Due to his guidance and effort we experienced far more than we could imagine. As a result our vacation was amazing. I would highly recommend this property and I hope to return someday!
Wow, what a beautiful spot. Such a breath-taking view and relaxing spot. The cottage is fantastic. It has everything you need. Comfortable beds, great style and the kitchen has everything you need if you are making meals at home. Stewart was so helpful, he had wonderful tips and suggestions that we wouldn't have figured out on our own. We had a lot of privacy, and Stewart was available by email if we ever had any questions. I would highly recommend it.
A cozy architectural wonder of charming decoration facing that vast expanse of ocean called the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Bald eagles made eye contact flying past the kitchen in the morning, and sunsets worthy of Van Gogh’s brush ended every day. This property and its owners are class personified.
I cannot begin to describe how truly amazing our vacation was on Cape Breton Island. First, our hosts Stewart and Bell were so gracious and accommodating. Stewart spent over an hour with us going over the many exciting things to do in the area and made dining recommendations that were spot on. It was a very peaceful and relaxing escape for us. There were so many enjoyable aspects of our time here! We would have to include the views from the deck of the cottage as one of the truly memorable parts of the trip. Each night the sunsets were amazing. We very much appreciated the tranquility of the location. The hiking, the beaches and friendly local residents all added to the enjoyment of the trip. This is a rare find and I would happily return any time. I highly recommend this property.
