Perched on a hilltop overlooking Grand Étang, Cedar Peak offers unparalleled vistas. Watch the sun rise over the highlands through the 13ft window while you sip coffee from the open-concept living area. After a day of exploring, unwind on the panoramic patio as the sun sets over the ocean. Cedar Peak is fully loaded with a full kitchen, home theatre, and many other amenities.

Ocean Hideaway

BruceRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We just returned from 10 days at Ocean Hideaway in Pleasant Bay. This place is just magical. It sits on a cliff overlooking a vast bay of water where we often saw whales, seals, and dolphins. The sunsets were spectacular every evening! The house is just off the main road but completely secluded, quiet and inviting. Daniel provides all sorts of personal touches from a coffee bar complete with an assortment of syrups, caramels, mini marshmallows ,and chocolates; to extra thoughtful amenities like tooth brushes and tooth paste. The kitchen is a fun space to prepare anything from morning coffees to full blown dinners. We wish we never had to leave!

Rose's Apt. @ Salty Rose's and the Periwinkle Café

ArianeRating, 5 stars7 months ago

We love our stay in Rose's Apartment at the Salty Rose and Periwinkle Cafe. The décor was tasteful, the bed was comfortable, and the kitchen was well-equipped for cooking basic meals - a must when visiting during the off-season when most restaurants are closed. Sarabath and Caitlyn provided clear instructions on how to access the apartment, and left some nice little touches such as soap from the neighboring soap-maker. Our only disappointment was that we couldn't enjoy a latte and pastry at the Periwinkle Cafe, as it had closed for the seasons a few days prior. But that's on us for visiting at the end of October when tourist season is done. We would 100% recommend the apartment to other travelers!
