Summary: We enjoyed our stay at Sailor's Rest. So close to the oceanfront that we were lulled to sleep by the waves each night. A good location for exploring the grandeur of Cape Breton Island.

Summary: We enjoyed our stay here very much. We appreciated the beautiful rock bound coastal setting and the rustic charm of this house. The scenery is very restorative. We enjoyed taking back roads to various places and enjoying the views. The owners were excellent hosts and very kind. They answered our questions and helped us find seafood and lovely places to explore. The bath mat and new fan were greatly appreciated. The drying rack was super helpful, rather than using the line. We know this place is a work of love. The house is best suited for people who are flexible with their plans and physically able. The stairs to the second floor are quite steep but the railing on the left side is helpful.

Summary: The view from this place is spectacular. We saw lobster fisherman checking their traps every morning right up close. Unforgettable. Also unforgettable is the fact that you are not allowed to flush any toilet paper and the toilet toilet paper goes into poop bucket next to the commode, why they don’t install a composting toilet I will never know. The floors are very uneven because it’s such an old building, but if you have any balance issues forewarned also if you plan to use the upstairs, please note that there is no railing on the outside of the stairs , this seems to be a liability issue as it would be easy to just fall because the stairs are very steep. Perhaps the other renters mentioned these things in their reviews but the reviews are all in French so I missed it if you enjoy roughing it indoors this is the place for you Again the view is what makes this place spectacular not the place itself
