Spectacular Ocean and Mt. Views! If you are looking for something off the beaten path, you have found it! Out at the northern tip of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, the cottage is located at St. Margaret's village, in Bay St. Lawrence. From the 8x28 foot front deck you have a panoramic, unobstructed, undeveloped view as the sun sets into the ocean. In season, you can enjoy the local lobster or snow crab caught in the bay in front of you. Not far off the Cabot Trail, the cottage is a good base for golf at Highland Links in Ingonish (one of the top-rated courses in the world), whale watching or deep sea fishing from the nearby fisherman's wharf or the Hike the Highlands Festival. Cape Breton Highlands National Park is just 10 miles away where there are hiking trails and other activities in the summer. Our family spots at least one moose and one bear at this park every year! It is a thrill for the kids! Right in the village is a friendly community center with internet access (as well as ping pong for the kids and a basketball hoop). There is a local grocery with all the basics. Right near the community center is an ice cream stand that is great for a quick dinner as well. It is a birdwatchers paradise. Watch the eagles soar, the guillemots fly in and out of the cliffs below, or the gannets dive into the ocean from the cottage. You might even see the occasional pod of whales in the bay while you sit relaxing or reading on the deck.

What a wonderful place to stay. We absolutely loved it. The kitchen is well equipped and we didn‘t miss anything. The beds were comfortable and we loved having 2 rooms (a snoring problem), yet so close next to each other. We would always love to come again. Great little harbor with lots of lobster fishing going on. The supermarket is right in the little village and well equipped. ##### Andreas W.

It was clean and has everything you need. We spent our days walking the beach and hiking some local trails. Afterwards, you can walk down to the wharf and buy lobster right off the boat. We did and loved it! For us it was a bit overcast for a good sunset but it would be a great spot to view from. If you want a secluded fishing community for some peace and quiet, while still having a lot of sites to see, this is it. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b8746fe5-a2b0-43dc-a7ba-dc9f145f6bf2-1751749677188.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ef06efda-4c03-4eb3-932d-d86f1cffb58e-1751749679702.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d9207394-f7b3-465c-9824-d24e6eb0dd6e-1751749677782.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/662bec76-3fc6-4422-85ed-24f376985587-1751749677206.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Dave N.

Jun 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved this rustic cabin on the ocean We were looking for a place off the beaten path, and this suited us very well. Although we went out for lunch and dinner, the place was well provisioned and you could certainly cook meals there. Enjoyed the French Press coffeemaker, but there was a drip pot too if that's your preference. Everything was very clean.Note that if you are staying outside of the July/August season like we did, the close-by eating options (Sea Shack, Bay Cafe, Chucky's) are not open, so be prepared to head down to Morrison's or Angie's. We did have the pizza from ACA and it was very good.The water is pumped in from a well, which means that the water goes off when the electricity goes off, so fill a few pots of water so you have them when necessary. ##### Debbie G.

Secluded, very clean and a more than adequate kitchen will make your stay enjoyable. We enjoyed all of the sight seeing to do right in the bay outside the home. Whales, seals, bald eagles, birds, rabbits and boats of all sizes are always coming or going. I would recommend buying a nice pair of binoculars as I sat outside for hours just watching the ocean at a distance. House furnishings are amicable and the beds were semi comfortable for our expectations. Just remember, you are paying for the seclusion so you will be a great distance drive wise from many of the places on the island which was perfect for us. Sydney etc are close to a 3 hour drive and Cheticamp was close to 90 minutes. Great places to eat in Cape North and Meat cove had a wonderful lobster roll. Thanks again ##### Eric C.

It was the most wonderful holiday. The cottage is perfect (amazing views, comfy beds, great water pressure, fully stocked with the necessities) and the area is exceptionally beautiful. You can wake up to the sunrise and watch the sunset from the back deck. The cottage is surrounded by wildflowers, hares, mountains, birds of prey and various other creatures. There is a (fantastic) whale watching boat tour that leaves from the harbor, which is about 5 minutes from the cottage. There is great food and good grocery options about 20 minutes drive away from the cottage. The beaches and coast are beautiful and there is tons to do in the National Park, also very very nearby. The wifi has also been upgraded since some previous posts and was super fast and reliable. We're heading back here next summer and are already looking forward to it. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 13 nights in Aug 2023 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Betty Ann L. Aug 26, 2016 #### Cape Breton Gem We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this little cottage on the tip of Cape Breton. The cottage itself has all the basics and is charming. As others have said, it's the front deck and ocean view that makes the more remote location worthwhile. If you enjoy the outdoors--hiking, whale watching, kayaking--this is a great location. There's plenty of great hiking both in and outside of the national park. You can also easily spend a day wandering through all the little towns in the area and finding the out of the way beaches. We would definitely suggest purchasing your park pass for the week on the way up so that you don't have to do any long drives before you can start hiking. The cottage is a great place to come home to at the end of each daily adventure. The only things we would recommend would be investing in a couple of nice comfy Adirondack/Muskoka style chairs for the deck and a small outdoor gas grill for quick meals. ##### Betty Ann L.
