Beautiful 3 bedroom home with a view.
Great spot with an awesome view. Strategic location to visiting multiple locations at Cape Breton. Host was very responsive.

Atlantic Views - 5 Bedroom Exec Home with Pool
We had a great time at Karri's place! The place is clean and the surroundings are peaceful. It's a great place for a weekend with family.

Baddeck 2 bedroom2 bath Condo-Incredible Lakeview
Lovely condo. Had everything. Conveniently located. Beautiful view. Several outdoor seating areas which we loved. We would highly recommend this to anyone!

Spacious & bright 4 bdrm home w rec room & pool
We had a great time, would for sure come back !! David was a wonderful host who was proactive in communication. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home, we didn’t want to leave.

Macaulay’s Hill Farm
This was a perfect week long retreat for our summer vacation. We spent most of our time enjoying the kitchen, screened in porch, and the pool! Just a short trip to town, it’s easy to get groceries and the kitchen in well equipped for cooking! We were in the pool everyday and felt so relaxed and at ease in the beautiful home and peaceful scenery! Peter, who stopped by mid-week was lovely and helpful. Completely recommend for a week away!

Scottish Thistle
This is a great place to relax! Extremely quiet, spectacular view and plenty of space for a family of 4 to 6 to spread out and chill. The private beach is a nice added touch and Baddeck is only a 2 minute drive, but I wouldn’t walk there, cars drive a little fast down that road and there’s no sidewalk. Tyler was a great host, explained everything perfectly, right down to recommending water shoes for the private beach ( which we had). There’s also a nice listing of local places and lots of brochures so you can find stuff to do. It was ~25 degrees when we stayed and it gets nice and cool at night so not having A/C isn’t a problem. There are so many windows that open in so many directions, you’ll catch a breeze.

Welcome to Sailor's Rest!
Couldn't have asked for a better place to explore the Cape breton island. Sailor's rest was cozy and had all the amenities for our stay. Lorna, our host was always responsive and kind. There were a ton of local recommendations placed inside the property which actually helped us a lot.

Beautifully renovated 1 bedroom and den
Very cute house, everything you’d need is within a 10 minute drive. Enjoyed my stay!!

Totally renovated house 5 minutes to SydneyAirport
It was my second time there. The place is perfect. Clean, modern, and cozy. Highly recommend it

Spacious 3 Bedroom Home Near Regional Hospital
We had an absolutely fabulous stay at Keith & Donna’s place! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The home was spotless and equipped with all the amenities we could possibly need. The location was perfect for us. Keith and Donna went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and always provided quick responses. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for an unforgettable stay!

Hannah’s Haven
Looking forward to coming back. Thanks again for another great stay.

Cozy Corner Family Home
Adorable house in seaside village. Nicely furnished, neat and tidy. Good linens and lots of towels, fully equipped kitchen and nice big bathtub. Two private bedrooms upstairs. The location was perfect for me and restaurants shopping and grocery stores are 10 minute drive away. Quiet for sleeping and views of ocean. Hosts are welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend and hope to return.

Mira River view farm house
This place was perfect for our family! Quiet with a beautiful view, close to lots of beaches, close to Fortress of Louisbourg, and close to all the amenities of Sydney when we needed anything. The house was clean, with everything we needed for a fantastic stay. There was enough room that we weren’t on top of each other, but we felt like we had a nice family vacation and had room to play games and spend time together. We would definitely return if we’re ever this way again!

Union House
We had a great stay at 69 Union St! Kent’s place is very homey and was the perfect place to live in for a week in Sydney. The spot is well stocked with what you need — especially the kitchen! Really appreciated the warm cozy vibes along with the high beautiful ceilings. Highly recommend! Our group agreed it was one of the nicest air bnbs we’ve stayed in. Would definitely stay here again.

'The Big House'
This is the 3rd time we have stayed at the Big House. It is a great spot when you have a large group! The location is fantastic, within walking distance to everything and Willie is very accommodating and responsive.

Stunning waterfront home /w hot tub, 2 fireplaces
Fantastic place for our annual girls get away! 4 of us girls each had our own place to sleep. Amazing kitchen with everything you need. I loved the open concept with breathtaking views!! I could even keep an eye on my 70 year old Mom who was fishing off the dock while I was busy in the kitchen lol We will definitely be going back ♥️

Big Harbour Hideaway
Big Harbour Hideaway is situated on an inlet of the Bras D’Or Lake with little boating activity so it was quiet. The dock is very solid and does not move with the tide, there were four Adirondack chairs on the dock with a few more available near by. Across the inlet is a really nice view of gypsum cliffs. There were bald eagles and even a seal! The house felt comfy and was well stocked with toilet paper, paper towelling, tissue, garbage bags, pots and pans, cutlery, etc. The beds were quite comfortable and although there is no air conditioning the breeze off the water was all we needed to cool the bedrooms at night. Although the house is on a well there was plenty hot water and the water pressure was really good. It felt homelike and it doesn’t get better than that! There is no cable tv, but I believe you can hook up a device to it to watch movies or play games. There is a pretty serious Scrabble game on the coffee table. Baddeck is only 12-14 minutes away by car.

Little oasis in Baddeck
The place was extremely clean and located by a close village that had a beautiful, peaceful harbor. Alaina made you feel at home.

Beautiful home in the heart of Sydney
An excellent space for a large group. Local recommendations provided right by the door. The space was clean and had cookware and dinnerware to accommodate our full group. The hosts were friendly and responsive during our stay. Would definitely recommend this space for families or groups looking to stay in Sydney!

Beautiful waterfront home w/ 2 bedrooms
We had a fabulous stay at Tammy's home and were very reluctant to leave. It was extremely comfortable and very stylish. We enjoyed sitting on the deck into late evening watching the sun set over the lake. Definitely a place to return if we ever revisit Cape Breton and can highly recommend.

Waterfront Nautical Home by the Beach
We had a wonderful stay at Rahim's place! He is incredibly kind and thoughtful, going above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome. My son especially enjoyed playing with the collection of shells in the house, and Rahim was so generous in offering him a few to take home as a keepsake. The location is also fantastic—just one minute from the highway, making it super convenient to explore the area. Highly recommend staying here!
