Perfect Location

The only problem with this place was we only stayed one night. The beach was a perfect spot to find sea glass. Our villa was great for the two of us, with an amazing view.

This is a property that really highlights the amazing beauty of Cape Breton! Sunsets are breathtaking, as is the trail past the pond to the private beach. The property is exactly as offered. We had everything we needed for a wonderful 3 nights. Michael took great care to ensure we had a very comfortable stay there and communication/responses very fast. There are also great reataurants within 20 minutes of the property. I have no problem highly recommending this property!

Last minute reservation and stay at the Lookout, so we stayed in the handicap unit, which was the only available unit to rent. Everything was fine, except there were no comfortable chairs, except on the deck. We assumed this is because a handicap person wouldn't need one. The only general comment was the a/c was noisy at night. On the second night we shut it down as it was cool enough outside not to need it. Otherwise everything was fine.
