About this property

Bluenose House By The Ocean and Private Beach on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia

The Bluenose House is unique on the island because of its location directly by the ocean and its high standard of living. It is a difference in living close to a lake or to reside directly by the ocean with private beach. Compare carefully! We have uploaded pictures and guest pictures on this website for this purpose to see the difference between ocean view and our oceanfront property. House Bluenose is a frame construction built in 2000. It is furnished to suit European tastes and features, for example, 220 Volt transformators, in addition to the local 110 Volts. Except for TV, you'll find everything you need. The high-end kitchen like all closets and floors, typically for Canada, is solid wood and leaves nothing to be desired.

A large porch (2.5m by 30m, safe for toddlers) around the house on three sides allows sunbathing and outdoor living surrounded and protected by maples, birches, and firs. From here, you can enjoy the mild breezes of the Atlantic and the romantic views of island life .

Light in Nova Scotia is much stronger than elsewhere, colors are more brilliant. Lay back and let Nova Scotia enchant you. The coastline is deeply indented by fiords and numerous bays. Cape Breton Island in the north east has a huge lake (Bras d´Or Lake) with crystal clear water and terrific fishing possibilities. People here are still very tight to their traditions: there is always an occasion to listen to Scottish bagpipes and Irish fiddle music and when you are here you can choose among different Scottish events and step classes. In the French Acadian, their inhabitants, although english speaking, enjoy being greeted with a French bon jour.

Lovely secluded cabin

Great stay at Bluenose House
The house was just as described and pictured - a clean, updated, bright house overlooking the water. The rooms were spacious and beds comfortable. We were given a house code, so getting in and out was very easy. The hosts were very communicative. We would definitely stay here again.

Great house, waterfront access needs work
The house itself was great, it was clean and had comfortable beds with great decor. The property on the other hand could have been better (uncut grass/weeds, very narrow path down to water and the stairs and dock down to the water was treacherous and dangerous). The view out the windows were spectacular.

Great place to spend two weeks
We decided to go to NS within a week of leaving. Due to the COVID rules, we knew we would have to isolate for 14 days and Robert's looked like a great place to spend those 14 days with two young kids. Robert was quick to answer our messages and when we mentioned we would need a way to get groceries delivered to his house, he offered. I asked a few days before arrival for an early check-in and he was happy to arrange it. The place was clean and as described when we arrived. Throughout our stay he remained very responsive. We really enjoyed our time walking through the woods and by the ocean, lounging on the deck, and kayaking!

Lovely home with gorgeous views!
A stunningly gorgeous view! We rented in June when the property was surrounded with lupines in full, fragrant bloom. The location is remote, right on the water’s edge and very, very quiet. Comfortable beds! Loved the modern, simple vibe of the decor. From the upstairs loft, we settled into comfy chairs to watch the sun set. Gorgeous. We enjoyed breakfast on the deck with the frequent hummingbirds! Robert is a gracious, helpful and welcoming host. Highly recommend this property!

Stunning Comfortable House with lot`s of Privacy
You must have seen this house, it is impossible to describe in words. Find aerial videos on their website capebreton vacations We enjoyed 100% privacy and very nice European Style interior (IKEA), solid wood kitchen, maple floors. This is not common on Cape Breton Island. What I need to say: try to find the house listed here as well but BY OWNER (aerial picture with few islands). It is cheaper there.
