Without exaggerating, sunsets will take your breath away. You will enjoy complete seclusion and memorable views in one of the most spectacular parts of Cape Breton. As day turns to evening with a knockout sunset, relax, listen to music or catch up on things you don't have time for at home. There is a rich, strong culture here, historically and musically, and life unwinds at its own special pace. Although a three-day visit to the Island is not uncommon, it takes more time to really get a sense of the rhythms and charm of Cape Breton. It's easy to meet people here, and the daily pace here is slower than in most cities. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Music library - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Handrails in stairways - Smooth flooring in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Well-lit path to entrance - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the sea ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Golf - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Bicycle parking - Garden - Local artist showcase - Recycling - Unit size: 605 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33750000/33743500/33743476/e45dc9f1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful Little Beach House with Gorgeous Sunsets Port Hood - Hot tub - Kitchen - Barbecue grill - Microwave [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-27&endDate=2026-01-28&selected=33743476&PinnedHotelID=33743476&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Golf](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120500000/120491600/120491568/3b789520.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New deluxe villa steps to Cabot Links!

I couldn't decide where on CBI to stay... I'd never been there before, so wasn't sure if I wanted to be on the east or west coast, or in the middle. But I was so lucky to find Stewart and this lovely cabin. I've never in my life had access to a view like that. And as others have said, the owner Stewart is a Canadian national treasure. My friend and I did almost everything he recommended... and we're so happy we did. We'll be back! :) ##### MARNE V.

While the cottage is rustic, it is well stocked for a comfortable one week stay. The road up was a bit of a challenge the first time up (front wheel drive car) but after that was no problem. Stewart provided numerous recommendations on places to see and eat - we enjoyed the few that we incorporated into what we already had planned. We enjoyed our stay. ##### K & S C.

Views were beyond expectations. So peaceful, we felt completely private. Close to hiking trails, beaches, and the Cabot Trail. Our host showed us places to go that weren’t on the usual maps. Kitchen had everything we needed. Had one meal out a day, usually lunch and so enjoyed relaxing mornings and gorgeous sunsets. One week barely scratched the surface of Cape Breton. ##### Elizabeth (Betsy and Scott) W.

Our cottage was secluded in the forest, and had everything we needed for a perfect getaway. The wood stove provided a cozy touch, and the loft bed was super comfortable.

The cabin is perfect for a couple wanting a place to stay close to the Cabot Trail and other local sights. The view from the porch (when there wasn’t fog), is exceptional. I do recommend an SUV for the steep road up to the cabin. ##### Kenneth M.

Everything was as advertised. Cottage was well equipped and clean on arrival. No issues checking in. We absolutely loved the tranquil and private setting. So peaceful with incredible views and sunsets. Stewart had many great suggestions and we took advantage of most of them. He was so helpful in our planning. Great place to stay to explore the area. Beaches very close with easy access. Both were Terrific. Cabot trail was beautiful. We visited Egypt Falls and even went for a swim second tier of the falls, Amazing. The Fiddle concert at the barn was very entertaining and we sat pretty much on the stage! Unfortunately our whale watch was too windy and wavy to finish the trip. The owners refunded our money. All in all, if you are looking for a great place to explore this beautiful area, I give The cottage 5 stars. Absolutely perfect. Thanks Stewart for all your assistance. ##### stephen h.

The owner built it with his own two hands (and maybe a couple of others), and can tell you all about its history, as well as just about anything else you might want to know about Cape Breton. Privacy is assured by its location nestled in the woods on 3 sides. It is kept immaculately clean, and any issues or questions are dealt with quickly and efficiently. Highly recommended! ##### Christopher H.

Location - stunning views from the sunroom and the front deck. You get to see all of the weather coming in and with the binoculars so many amazing sights. The cottage was so beautiful. So clean. Best sleeps at night. Everything you need when you’ve flown in with carry-on luggage! Stewart was such a great host. Came By and gave us great ideas on how to spend our time and we did several of his suggestions. My husband is from Cape Breton so we got to spend some time seeing friends and family. This place is a gem. We will look forward to staying there again! You won’t be disappointed. ##### Lisa M.

I fell in love with the Deep Blue Sea Cottage when I first saw it advertised, and the real thing did not disappoint. Stewart was an incredible host, ensuring that we had all the information required pre-check in and then again post arrival. He catered his recommendations to our stated interests and we were able to do many of the things that he recommended. When the weather was less cooperative, we thoroughly enjoyed staying in. The peaceful surroundings and the stunning view of Chimney Corner Beach and waterfront made for an incredibly relaxing experience. We would go back in a heartbeat! I’ve already recommended it to a number of my friends. ##### Stacey H.

The pictures on the listing are spectacular but they can’t even compare to how beautiful this places in real life. The house is fully stocked with everything you need, including beach chairs. The layout is beautiful and the heated bathroom floors made me jealous I didn’t have them at home. Stewart, the owner, also took the time to come over and sit with us and suggest how we plan our trip around CB given we were only there for three days. His suggestions were all perfect and we are glad we listened, including his suggestion of a hike at White Point and dinner at Woodroad. Our only complaint about the entire trip was that it was so short. We can’t wait to come back and spend more time in beautiful Cape Breton ##### Caitlin D.

Upon arrival, Stewart came up to the cottage to meet us. This is the first time we've had a property owner come out to meet us on arrival, so we didn't know what to expect. We had a great visit with Stewart and for almost two hours he annotated maps with suggestions of where to go, where to eat, and things to see based on our interests. This proved to be incredibly valuable during our stay. We did nearly everything that Stewart suggested and nothing disappointed. We had relatively strong winds and rain one night of our stay, and Stewart emailed us to warn us about the weather and make sure everything was alright with our stay. Overall, Stewart was an A++ host. The cottage was clean and cozy with everything we needed. As the weather was warming up during our stay, there was some insect activity, primarily in the bathroom, but that's to be expected in a rural and semi primitive rental. The little wood stove very quickly warmed up the cottage on cool mornings and provided a nice cozy ambiance. And the view off the deck is unbeatable. Overall we were thrilled with our stay and will return to Cape Breton. We hope to stay with Stewart again when we do. ##### Charles B.

Le cottage était superbe,propre et très bien équipé. Une petite salle de bain très fonctionnelle avec une grande douche et une bonne pression ainsi que des planchers chauffants.Le lit hyper confortable avec petite brise en bonus..une belle terrasse avec une vue absolument magnifique.. que dire des couchers de soleil tous plus beaux les un des autres. Les photos sur le site sont très belles mais en personne s’est encore plus grandiose.. Une très belle plage à 5 min de voiture sinon plusieurs dans la région..l’eau est beaucoup plus chaude à ce que je m’attendais , très contente lol.. Pour les amoureux des oiseaux voir des belles Pygargues à tête blanche passer quotidiennement dans le ciel face à notre terrasse .Juste WoW!!! Notre hôte Stewart est un gros bonus pour le voyage . Il nous a fait de très bonnes recommandations que nous avons rajouté à notre itinéraire, à chaque fois c’était un bonheur. Il prends le temps de répondre à toute nos questions et si vous avez besoin de le contacter pendant les vacances, il répond très rapidement..Quand nous allons revenir s’est sur que ça va être dans un de ses cottages . Je recommande Deep blue sea fortement. ##### Manon L.

La vue était splendide et pour nous, la localisation était parfaite. Nous étions entre les terrains de golf et la plage d’Inverness et la Cabot Trail. Le cottage est propre et bien équipé. Stewart est un hôte exceptionnel, disponible et avisé. Nous le recommandons fortement! ##### Sylvain L.

Stewart was a super host and very helpful. The photos and description are exactly as in the listing. It was the nicest relaxing and peaceful vacation we have had in a long time. We really hope to go back next year. ##### Britta W. Stayed 10 nights in Aug 2021 ---
