If you are looking for a remote, yet well-located retreat, this gorgeous, cedar-shingled Cape Breton cottage is perfect for a memorable getaway. It is perched high above the ocean with epic views and sea sounds. These are some of the most spectacular vistas in all of Cape Breton: endless ocean, beach and Sea Wolf Island (framed perfectly, as if for your personal pleasure!) You don't just enjoy the views- you hear the ocean beside you, lapping at the rocks below, sometimes crashing; it's almost hypnotizing. Check our short video in the "Photos" section.
In the cottage, summer evenings are cool –great for sleeping– often with brilliant sunsets. Outside, the large deck with its lovely cascading stairs, is positioned perfectly for spotting lobster boats, eagles, moose, bobcats, and the whales which pass by most of the year, and from where you’ll catch dramatic sunsets and panoramic views. Beaches? Hiking? Fine Dining? Music? All close at hand…
TumbleSea cottage changes over on Fridays. Charming and comfortable, the open-plan living space features beams and vaulting ceilings that lend it a bright and airy feel, with a fully equipped kitchen and dining area surrounded by windows for spectacular views. Finished with both rustic and contemporary furnishings and decor, the cottage is welcoming and homey, with one cozy bedroom for two.
There’s all the kitchen equipment you need to prepare a feast from local specialties. You will love the supple leather couch in the living room, which is the perfect spot for connecting with friends, (which is easier than ever, with a fast fibre op internet/ wifi connection).
Dig into a good book, or just gaze out to sea. You can watch storms develop on the horizon, and play themselves out before they ever reach you. As evening turns to night, relax and take in the starry night skies, and steady cadence of the flashing light of the island lighthouse.
Nestled amongst trees, roses and the water, TumbleSea cottage offers complete privacy, complete comfort, and an unforgettable week. All this on a beautiful property with spring-fed brooks, just minutes from three great beaches and the Cabot Trail, a half hour from the National Park; less than thirty minutes north of the cottage, the Park has an extensive network of hiking trails, including the Skyline Trail that overlooks the Gulf, as well as dramatic waterfalls, rivers and highlands.
TumbleSea is just twenty minutes from two of the world’s finest golf courses at Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs (respectively ranked by Golf Digest at #39 and #10 in the world). There are also great restaurants and music venues within 30 minutes.
