Boat house on the sea.

Boathouse is literally sitting on the ocean. With high ceilings, wood floors and beautiful views makes it one of Cheticamp's best rentals. Walking distance to Whale Cruises, restaurants, bars, and cofee shop, property is perfect. Only 10 minutes to the National Park. You will fall in love with the view, the ocean, the sal air and the sound of boats going by with their catch of lobster. Make this space your central location to visit the island. This is ground level, upstairs another rental.

There are two bedrooms in this rental and one king size bed in the open concept living room. There is another unit on the second floor.

Parking is street side. It is very well lit and we have never had any issues, it is a very safe area:)

Pictures dont do justice to this place! It has the most wonderful deck right on the gulf of Lawrence opposite the Chéticamp island. It’s the perfect spot to see sunsets, which we did every evening while there. The house is provided with everything one might need in terms of essentials and more. A full kitchen , bathroom with some toiletries and towels , a fast wifi and a pizza place right next door for your late night cravings The owners gave amazing recommendations and they are always accessible through chat! One more thing, the Skyline trail can be closed without notice if the number of tourists exceed a certain predefined limit. But since this cottage is around 20 minutes drive to the trail we could come back whenever we wanted and in non peak hours to make the most of it. We are Actualy thinking of coming back here for the winter , not sure how that would be :-)
Breakfast at the deck
Beautiful sunsets everyday

It was just great! Loved having the washer dryer, and lots of other small touches that made it extra nice. TV lost its feed and I received a message within 15 min how to try to fix it and it worked. Also liked the suggestions on what to do and where to go. Of course being on the water was perfect.

Fabulous views

Lovely property right on the waterfront in the centre of Cheticamp. Fabulous decking surrounding the house which we had access to , with comfy seats and a bbq. The house has two quite small bedrooms, one single , one double , ( also a double bed in the living room) a small but very well equipped kitchen, lovely bathroom and a great living space. There was a lay by in front of the house for parking and an amazing ramp for access. There was limited hot water , so a few cold showers!!! The house was cosy.It was in a great place to walk to local shops and restaurants and with great access to the Cape Breton Highland Park by car.We had a fabulous few days here.

We were delighted with the layout and the view. The sound of the waves splashing against the wharf was very soothing. Beds were comfy, kitchen was nicely stocked. Good communication with the owner. Overall, a lovely place.

Such a lovely place to stay! Right on the ocean, wonderful view of Cheticamp Island. It was fun to sit on the deck and watch the cattle, herons and eagles on the island. The hosts were very helpful, sending messages with all information needed including things to do and where to shop and eat in the area. Very restful!

Loved the concept of this accommodation as it was built on the water with a very large deck. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset while on the deck. Having several choices for places to eat was good - we enjoyed a great seafood from next door. Would be good to know that the one bedroom only had a single bed. Overall very good!

We had a wonderful stay at the boathouse. The best part was the deck. It was huge and overlooked Cheticamp Harbour. It was beautiful, quiet and the perfect spot for coffee in the morning. There were plenty of restaurants around, whale watchng was walking distance and the national park right down to road. We had a wonderful stay.

Just finished our second stay at this wonderful property. It is truly lovely. We enjoy sitting outside on the deck watching the boats and the family of seagulls that is set up residence on the edge of the decking. Cheticamp is a great little town. We will be back.
