Beachfront vacation rentals in Cape Breton Island

We had a wonderful family vacation at Macloud Cove. My niece and nephews enjoyed playing in the water. I enjoyed drinking tea on the deck. Everyone enjoyed how close it was to the Cabot Trail and Sydney. It was lovely. Highly recommend it.

My family and I had a great stay at Laura's Landing. The place was so clean and we loved the layout of the house. We had everything we needed and enjoyed BBQing on the deck and taking a short walk down to the beach. The beds and linens were also really comfortable,clean and "hotel quality." If we're back in the area, we would definitely consider booking there again. One thing to note was that the hot water wasn't quite hot enough and shower pressure not strong enough for my liking but otherwise, absolutely no complaints! Thanks Daphne 😊

This is a dream location. There are lots of windows to fill up with spectacular views of the ocean. The cottage is lovely and comfortable with an open space to unwind and soak up the beauty of the place. Lots of necessities in tge cupboards. All you need for an unforgettable stay.

Lovely home, privately situated next to the sea. The views were spectacular. The home was very neat and clean and very well maintained. It wasn't too far from the town of Baddeck where we got provisions and visited very good restaurants. We loved our stay at this home. Richard did a good job as our host. Thank you!

What a wonderful place, felt like a home while being clean and accessible. Beautiful waterfront location, with a welcoming and responsive host. Would easily book again, regretting that I didn't stay longer.

We had a wonderful time in Cheticamp. John was helpful for suggestions about hiking and restaurants. I would highly recommend his beautiful place.

We had a great 3 night stay at this campsite! This spot was easy to find and we loved how private it was. Kristy & Michael were very kind and responsive as well. We would definitely choose this campsite again when we return back to beautiful Cape Breton!

It's a beautiful place at lakeside. So many trails and waterfalls around. We loved it and kids enjoyed a lot there. Ann is very respectful and proactive. Whenever I texted her, could get reply in minutes. Amazing experience overall.

The host was available and hospitable. We were a group of 7 and the house was perfect for what we needed. We loved our stay there and we will keep precious memories of this stay. I highly recommend!

What a beautiful week we had at this perfect little cottage! We enjoyed our time so much and will be sure to come back if we ever get the chance. Gabarus is pretty and sleepy and we had the best time exploring the surroundings, just behind the cottage, as well as the public Gull Cove Trail nearly. We took advantage of the beautiful fire place to cozy up inside, enjoyed a bonfire outside and even took a quick dip in the sea at the beach close by. The bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen where clean, cozy and more modern than you would expect them to be in a remote little cottage like this. Thank you so much for the amazing stay!

We had a fantastic stay at Marcies! The cabin was cute and clean, but we spent most of our time admiring the beautiful view and wildlife from the observation deck and exploring the beach. When we did spend time inside the screen room and sun room were perfect. The location was unbeatable, and the beach and gravel road was manageable in our VW golf. Check in/out was easy and Marcie was a great host, she was quick to respond anytime we needed something and provided lots of helpful information about the area.

Cody’s Airbnb is a great accommodation for larger families. Everything we needed and more was available within the house. Walking distance and wheelchair accessible to sandy beach. Location is spectacular, bring your binoculars for a closer view of Port Hood Island and finish the night with a bonfire or star gazing from the balcony.

Nice spatious house, everything you need is available. Easy to find (next to bank building). Ocean view from the deck. Quit little village, beautiful environment. Noice cancellation (living noises from neighours) could be better.

Super cosy, very comfortable spot! Wished the fireplace worked, but was very warm even without it

This is probably the one home that we can truly call home away from home. "Shandy" is the place to choose if you are looking for a cozy, clean and one of a kind Airbnb experience. And did I say if you want a host that will be proactive and responsive all the way -- prior to your arrival ans until after you check out, Sharon is your person. She personally reached out to us to ask about specific things that family may require when staying away from home. Her prompt communication is beyond comprehension and her level of hospitality completely blew us away. Our teenagers loved the space and they couldn't hide their excitement and gratitude as they left a note for Mr. Sandy and Ms. Sharon. We look forward to returning to "Shandy", until then, please make sure you check it out. You won't regret.

We had a great stay. Very comfortable and clean. Felt right at home. Did not want to leave. Would highly recommend Gloria’s place.

Great place, great location, great host!

Capers Landing was a wonderful gem we discovered during our visit to Nova Scotia. Nikki has put a great deal of thought and planning into making the home comfortable and delightfully decorated. Her attention to detail really shows. A high priority for us is how kitchens are equipped. This kitchen was both well equipped, modern and had stunning views of the waterfront. The Internet was very fast. The beds were really comfortable and the bathrooms had a luxury appointments. Our only wish is we had planned a longer stay. It is clear why this home gets so booked up. We will be back! Thanks for a wonderful stay. Jeff and Suzanne

Chris's home is truly a slice of heaven! we spent a week in this beautiful chalet on a private beach. We use Airbnb a lot and this house and location was one of our favorite. SO peaceful and relaxing,SO comfortable and beautiful, really felt like home away from home for our large family. Right off the Cabot trail, we were able to take day trips around Cape Breton Island and enjoy everything the area had to offer. Chris was super helpful and communication was quick and easy. HIGHLY recommend this Airbnb!

This Airbnb was everything it said it was in the description and more. A great layout, well equipped with everything you need, easy access and a stunning view in a lovely town. Highly recommend!

My husband, our Bernese Mt. dog and myself stayed at this exceptional property. We travel frequently and this is without question our favorite Airbnb to date. We were welcomed with a sweet treat and wine. There were bowls & a comfy bed for our pup. I loved that the hosts send daily texts with itinerary suggestions. The ocean views are stunning. The beach is private and serene. The restaurant suggestions in the guidebook are wonderful. The Woodroad experience was fantastic. The property is about 30-35 minutes to enter the Cape Breton Highlands National Park. The Skyline Trail is located about 15 minutes from the park entrance and a great day trip from the Airbnb. We also had easy access to the Celtic Shores Coastal Trail in Inverness for biking/hiking. Finally, we had the pleasure of meeting Scott who took the time to point out Pilot Whales in the cove which could be seen from the deck/hot tub. Every detail of this property is meticulously addressed. We can’t wait to stay again.
