Cabot Trail beach cottage

WodanRating, 5 stars7 months ago

The location was great with easy walk to beach for sunset. The proximity to the park was wonderful and close to town for easy access to restaurants and grocery store. The house was clean, but dated and very camp like, rustic. Had a few flies and bugs come out when we warmed up house but we're manageable. Overall a nice experience and an enjoyable stay.

Cabot Trail Cozy Cottage Seaside

BobRating, 5 stars9 months ago

We stayed a week in Nadene’s cottage in Ingonish and it was perfect for us. The location is excellent and the proximity to the beach and views are exceptional. The cottage is equipped with everything you need for cooking or grilling and the satellite TV was a bonus. We’ve stayed at a number of places over the years in Ingonish area and none are better than Nadene’s. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Three decorative glass floats in green, orange, and amber hues are suspended in a netting of thick rope. The vibrant colors are captured against a neutral background, creating a striking visual element that enhances the cabin's coastal decor.

Cabaneaux 5

Fred-WilliamRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Lovely cabin with a very nice view on the beach. The cabin is farther from the beach than what we expected from looking at the pictures (it is located on the other side of the road), but nonetheless a cozy space with everything you need. The beach is still only a 3 min walk, and we had a great time at this place. Joeleen is very responsive and friendly!

A modern kitchen features marble countertops and a sleek backsplash in varying shades of blue. Hanging mugs are organized on a rack, and a complete set of appliances, including a dishwasher, oven, and sink, provide a functional and inviting cooking space.

Marie-Josée's house is simply perfect for a stay in the Islands. It is very well located, in one of the most charming corners in our opinion. There are several activities to do nearby, starting with going up the hill that you can see in the photo. The view is exceptional from up there. The house is clean, warm and very well-equipped for cooking. We had a wonderful week there.

What a beautiful place! We are in a midst of a long trip through Maine and Nova Scotia, and Lisa‘s place in Ingonish stands out as a highlight of the trip. It is a real wonder to sit in the living room and look at that vista. There is a quiet and simplicity to being there that I really appreciated. Thanks for sharing this space with others!

New Beachfront Post+Beam Cottage, near Cabot Trail

BonitaRating, 5 stars10 months ago

Wondered how we would fare without tv and ac! Couldn’t be better - the house is a treasure with amazing views and perfect ventilation. Enjoyed a campfire on the beach, a million stars overhead and playful seals in the afternoon. The convenient location to Cape Breton Park is another plus. Would highly recommend!

Between Sea and Lagoon - Le Condo

DanielRating, 5 stars8 months ago

We enjoyed our stay at Manon's place from the first to the last moment. The apartment is excellently equipped and offers a fantastic view of the sea and the neighboring islands. Absolute cleanliness and a super easy check in. From the ferry it takes three minutes by car. Manon was always easily accessible and gave us good tips for the island. The Magdalene Islands are still a real insider tip, especially now in autumn, almost no tourists were there and you only share the islands with the local residents. We had wonderful days and good luck with the weather. If the arrival from Germany were not quite as long, we would certainly come back to this jewel in the Saint Lawrence Golf. Definitely we would stay with Manon again, merci beaucoup et à bientôt!
