Oceanside View
Absolutely amazing choice. Oceanside view with the rolling waves and the fresh smell of the saltwater wafting in was absolutely perfect. The wind blowing by the house along with the cormorants, ducks, and all the other wildlife topped the vacation

Dauphin Guest House
Although we had a short stay & didn’t spend much time in the house, we did love watching the full moon & sun rises. The house is small but very comfortable. Beautiful setting. The host & his niece were very helpful & kind.
I would recommend this home to any one who likes to be a little off the beaten path.

Loved it!
We absolutely loved our stay at this cottage! I went with my mom and we loved the cozy feel of space. The view is phenomenal and the deck was so great for starting our day with a morning coffee. The shower is a little small but we managed. The long gravel road to get to the cottage was a little difficult if you're not used to it and probably not great for nervous drivers but you also get an awesome view throughout the drive so worth it. We would definitely stay here again.

Stunning location
The property was everything we expected and more. Stunning private location. Cabin had all the basic amenities. We used this location as a jumping off point for day trips to various parts of the island and it worked out perfectly for us. Expect to do a fair bit of driving but we were up for it and that was as much a part of the experience. The host was lovely and helpful. I would go back in a heartbeat.

The host and interior of the cottage were fantastic. The deck needs a lot of improvement. Someone had stained the floor very carelessly with stain all up the outside wall. The 7 km drive into the property was terrible and speed for most of the time had to be 5-10 kph. This was not the renter's doing and I feel sorry for them for that. We were well treated and interior was well supplied, clean and comfy

Great Getaway
We stayed for three nights and the cottage with loft had everything you would want. A half hour from Beddeck, and it’s amazing scenery and eateries. We used the cottage as a base to explore Cabot Trail and took the Englishman ferry to connect to the Trail. Very convenient. There is a 9 km gravel road but it is well maintained and skirts a bay. Would stay again. 😊😊😊
If youre looking for a quiet place with a beautiful ocean view away from the city, this is perfect. They even mowed a path down to the beach below. Great walk and so quiet. Highly recommend and it was close enough to Sydney that we could drive in to do what we needed.

The perfect getaway!
We had a wonderful week in Cape Breton Island exploring the Cabot Trail and the area surrounding the Beach House. We learned of the history of New-Campbellton and the Cape Dauphin driving and walking the gravel road, and learned even more when taking the Bird Islands tour that passes directly in front of the cottage. The house has a fantastic view, from its porch and from the beach. We took a couple of hours walking the beach where we saw a couple of seals peaking their heads out of the water. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay there. Thanks Richard for being a part of this wonderful week spent in our very first visit to Nova-Scotia!

Great perch at water's edge
The location is stunning -- right above a private beach with direct access to both sea swimming and freshwater swimming. Lovely breezes off the water. Easy access to Baddeck and the Cabot Trail. Tara and Anabella, who were staying right next door, could not have been more accommodating -- providing everything we needed and checking on us often to make sure things were good. The house is compact, but very well planned and laid out. We had a delightful stay.

Perfect for nature
We had a wonderful time staying at this secluded spot in Cape Dauphin. The house looks out over a lake, an inlet and the ocean, so we saw so many interesting birds. We saw eagles nearly every day, and all kinds of other birds. The kids had a lot of fun walking the beach and picking up rocks.
The house was very clean and had all the things we needed. The hosts were beyond attentive, and easy to reach as they live right next door.

Peaceful getaway
The Beach House was beautifully appointed and we had everything that we needed for a peaceful getaway. Such a lovely location with stunning views and the sound of the water lapping up against the shore left us all feeling much more relaxed than we were when we arrived. Thanks for a great experience.
The beach house was located on a beautiful property. The view was lovely and it was very quiet. The accommodation was a bit over priced and the kitchen could have been better stocked.
