Vacation rentals with a kayak in Guysborough County

Thank you for the amazing stay.

Jennie and Guy were amazing hosts. They were extremely helpful and accommodating. Their cozy home has ample space on the main level for indoor living if you ever needed a break day. The deck is large and private and probably my favourite part of the house. The kitchen is extremely well stocked which made cooking away from home an enjoyable experience. The home gets a great breeze from the ocean which kept things cool on the inside and left us with no bugs on the outside! Jennie and Guy provided some excellent tips for things to do in the area and we used the home as a jump off point to see many other fun things in Cape Breton. While not immediately on the ocean, you can still see it from the deck and they were happy to share their kayaks and paddle board with us. A very nice perk which you won't find in many places. The little island is picturesque with lots of beautiful scenery to explore. The local beach was sandy and warm and the two pubs we went to were quite nice as well. Overall, I would highly recommend it. The value for money was extremely fair and we had a great experience overall. Thanks for the memories!

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.

Everything you'd ever need is right here in this beautifully laid out and cozy home! Activities for days are all around you, the views are stunning, the neighbours grand. The beds are so comfy and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you'd need to cook a feast. We will be back to enjoy Brent's best Nova Scotian hospitality!

Great host. Peaceful place to stay with family. saw a lot of deers in the area. highly recommend

You won’t believe it until you see it!!!! The most incredible view that just goes on forever…we brought 2 dogs and the surroundings were absolutely perfect for them. Sean was great and kept in touch with us the whole week, even brought us fresh eggs from his hens!!!! Everything was perfect and we had an awesome time.

We had an amazing one-month stay, the house's highlights are: Well-located residence for discovering Cape Breton Island and its surroundings. Very quiet place and away from neighbors, just across the marina. Beautiful residence, very clean, full of beautiful windows, comfortable and well air-conditioned Outdoor fire pit and pergolas were very much appreciated. All services and restaurants are less than a kilometer away Nature is very present all around the house (deer, foxes, squirrels, crabs, cormorants, herons, blue jay, kingfisher, etc.). Points to consider: No curtain in the master bedroom. No mosquito nets in any of the windows, so you'll have to choose between mosquitoes or air conditioning. Dining table for only 6 people seated (listed; maximum of 8 guests). Very poorly equipped kitchen Many bulbs are burned out indoors and outdoors and none A big thank you to our hosts for the stay!

What a wonderful place! We had such a lovely time and did not want to leave. The property is gorgeous all around and the view is absolutely spectacular. It’s quiet and peaceful with lots of space yet still close to amenities. The cottage is beautiful inside too - it’s very clean, cozy and comfortable. The hosts and property manager are incredible with excellent communication. Every aspect of our stay was delightful and we would love to return!

Great little getaway spot! Loved the hot tub and peaceful environment.

It’s a Shore thing rental was absolutely beautiful! Great for a relaxing and fun getaway! Jennie messaged with local things to do and was always communicative if we needed or wanted anything! The place was so beautiful and clean, and the aesthetic was amazing! The hot tub was amazing and the view was even better. Beds were super comfy as well. If we forgot anything, this place had it! The bathroom had luxury products, with toiletries, makeup, hairspray all nine yards and great shower products! Leaving a welcome message to my friends and me! Great girls weekend getaway! We cannot wait to come back and enjoy it again! Thank you guys once again!

Was a great stay and can’t wait to come back very peaceful and enjoyed going out on the kayaks and visiting the islands. Took time out of her day to come and greet us as well. thanks again for the wonderful stay

Overall a great stay at a lovely cottage. Kristy was extremely responsive to questions during our stay. We had an early spring visit so the road in was a little messy, but that is no fault of the hosts/cottage. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Definitely deserves the Super Host status. Would recommend to anyone.

I can't say enough about this place! It was VERY peaceful and private with a gorgeous sand beach right at the doorstep. We wondered why it was called 'Seal Rock House' until we woke up one morning and saw the seals!!! We spent hours watching them and it was a highlight of our tour around the province. The house was spotless, had comfy beds, and we loved the design. We felt at home. Christoph was an amazing host. He was very friendly and left great info about the surrounding area, plus some menus we ordered from quite frequently! An incredible place to stay and an extremely reasonable price! Very highly recommended!!!!!

A lovely place and super nice hosts who are really always responsive and helpful. I highly recommend this place! Thanks for the wonderful stay.

The idea was to chill out and recharge by the lake - and that's what happened. We had a terrific time and the staff were so responsive and helpful. Hot tub was excellent and looking out on a stunning view. Great little touches like a welcome gift for Archie the dog too which always helps!

We absolutely loved our stay! The cottage is super well designed (a mix of old and modern aesthetic), well stocked, and set alongside a gorgeous lake. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. The hot tub and dog friendly-ness was icing on the cake. One of our top 3 Airbnb stays in Nova Scotia for sure! Highly recommend for a romantic getaway or for a cozy weekend with friends.

we really enjoyed our stay. everything was great and the kids loved relaxing in the hottub and playing outside well I watched from the nice screened in porch. we were all very excited to see the eagles flying around and the kids got to see one fly down onto the ice on the lake. the house was very warm and welcoming and the beds were very comfortable. our four children slept well after relaxing in the hottub and then finishing the night with movies by the living room fire. would highly recommend.

Everything was perfect! There’s everything we needed and even more! Cozy and great place! The hosts were very responsive and attentive to our questions and feedbacks!

Thomas & Anne’s place is spotless. It’s a nice private retreat with wonderful views of the lake! The cabin is cozy, peaceful, and private. Thank you, Thomas & Anne!

I and 4 other friends stayed at Summit Lodge for 2 nights. We were all so impressed with the craftmanship of the cottage, the cleanliness, simple, yet charming decor and the open interior with beautiful windows overlooking the lake and tree line. Immediately after booking, Brent sent helpful messages with clear instructions and guidance for our stay. The hot tub was perfect for five and the changing lights added some fun to its use in the evenings. We immediately started discussing a second trip in the warmer months to hopefully take advantage of that beautiful lake, kayaks and fire pit. I highly recommend these cottages, having previously stayed at another of the properties a year prior, Homesteader Lodge, which was equally beautiful. Thanks!
