SeaSky Cottage

Reviews

"To say that this little cottage is charming, welcoming, and perfectly placed in the quiet heart of Margaree, would be an understatement. My brother and I had the privilege of spending a week here this past summer, and I can honestly say I have never had a more enjoyable, more perfect vacation experience. The cottage itself, tucked away on a quiet hilltop, exceeded our expectations. It was warm and inviting, giving us a sense of home despite ours being 3,000 miles away. An absolute gem...perhaps one of my favorite places on earth." -CLAIRE S., DALLAS

"Fantastic find! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at SeaSky Cottage. The house itself was comfortable, clean and cozy. We loved the open shower with bathroom heated floors. We enjoyed viewing the artwork in the house and appreciated the info on each piece that was included in a very thorough visitor welcome guide which was incredibly handy. When we arrived, Stewart, the cottage owner, was genuinely interested in helping us to make the trip an enjoyable one; he shared many awesome tips with us based on what we liked to do. ...The beds were comfy. The windows provided amazing views of the ocean and rocks which two eagles frequented...The gorgeous beach was a quick two-minute drive. We are grateful that we found this rental and would love to return to this gem again. Thank you Stewart and Bell." LYNN C., 2019

SeaSky is more beautiful and peaceful than the pictures can show. Stewart met us soon after we arrived and we talked for an hour about all the wonderful places and venues around our area of Cape Breton. His suggestions and input were very helpful as we traveled around the island. The cottage was so comfortable from the beds in the loft area to everything we needed in the kitchen. And the views of the cove and beach and the sunsets each evening from the deck are spectacular. Such a special place, as eagles fly by on the breeze in the peace and quiet of this incredible property.

"Beautiful, high ceilings, architect designed, totally authentic cottage with loving attention to detail and the most amazing ocean view you have ever seen. You won't want to leave the deck overlooking the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the nearby Chimney Corner beach. This place is one-of-a-kind. And Stewart is a fantastic host with lots of great ideas about things to see and do. As you can tell I can't say enough good things about this property!!" SHEREEN M. 2018

"There are not enough superlatives to describe our heaven on earth week. I have been to many”ideal” shore destinations. Nothing compares to this “world apart” experience of Cape Breton Island. Our time at SeaSky was the stuff of lifetime memories. Stewart and Bell have hit all the marks for the ultimate week to decompress among nature’s rugged splendour. BTW, I am an artist who focusses on light. I can truly say that I was awestruck by what this perfectly sited cottage offered visually. I recommend SeaSky to anyone seeking an exceptional tastefully appointed rustic place of quiet, restorative beauty." JOEL I. 2018

"I'm almost hesitant to rave about this property lest its popularity prevents me spending another week here in the future! The location of the cottage is absolutely stunning and Stewart's hospitality was incomparable. The cottage has everything you could possibly need for a week away from home (lovely linens, extra towels, every cooking item you could need, beach towels, beach chairs, etc.) plus lovely and interesting furnishings. I felt like I was staying at the house of a friend with great taste as opposed to a rental I found online. This is my second time staying in a Stewart and Bell rental and I'm already thinking of visiting again next year. Thanks again!" COURTNEY W. 2018

"My wife and I spent our honeymoon at this beautiful cottage and only regretted not staying for longer. There's too many complimentary sentiments to possibly articulate for the overall experience. The view is stunning, the accommodations impeccable, and the hospitality unparalleled. We considered refusing to leave until common sense peaked its ugly, city-bound head. We will surely return to this wonderful place in the years to come. Can't thank Stewart and Bell enough. Looking forward to the next time." GREGORY C. 2018

"Our second stay at SeaSky Cottage was as good as it gets. The views from the deck are endless and the sunsets picture perfect. During the days we saw a half dozen pilot whales swim by one morning, a pack of seals the next afternoon and then there's always the bald eagles standing watch out on the point. Inside, the house is surprisingly spacious…. As city folk, it's a great place for us to get away from the grind and unwind, but the wireless allowed us to plug in and stay connected when need be. We’ve stayed at three of their other houses and they are all charming in their own ways but they are consistently comfortable, stylish and have amazing views. What really tops it off though are the hosts. They are friendly and considerate and really make sure you have a good time and get the most out of your stay. Even after coming all these years, Stewart stopped by with a few new ideas of places to visit or where was new to eat nearby. We brought my in-laws with us for the first time this year (they stayed at TumbleSea - which was cool because we had our own spaces, but they were just a 100 yards away through a path in the trees). Stewart made sure he personalized their experience as newbies to the Cape and a little slower in their older age. We really appreciated it. We will definitely be back for our sixth visit next year."

"We wanted a vacation that was quiet, calm and peaceful – an escape from the noise of life. Thank you Stewart and Bell for providing a beautifully stunning setting in which to relax and recharge. Having worked for a high-end hotel company for more than 10 years, I have an expectation about the quality of lodging. Most important for me is that my accommodations are clean. These cottages are spotless. Stewart and Bell go out of their way to make sure their guests feel comfortable and Stewart spends time with all his guests when they arrive to make sure they get settled. The cottages ooze charm and have everything you need all nestled on the breathtaking cliffs of Chimney Corner. Cape Breton is unspoiled and stunning, and these cottages are the perfect way to soak it all in." - KEN E., 2017

"I am convinced that Stewart's little cottage in Cape Breton is the most beautiful and picturesque place that I've ever been. It is seriously even better than the pictures. Stewart was a caring and gracious host and showed us all the best places on the island to go to...I could not get enough of looking out of the cabin on all sides and seeing the ocean waves." MACY C.

"This was our second trip here. We came here first two years ago for a week and loved it so much we returned for two weeks this time -- and it still went by too quickly! It’s simply a wonderful place to completely unwind and relax. The cottage itself is truly special. Very simple, but comfortable, with an expansive deck and spectacular water views. It really is even more beautiful than the pictures. In fact, the cottage was so comfortable that on any given day we had trouble getting ourselves out to get to the beach or take advantage of the numerous nearby attractions; we were just too relaxed to bother leaving."
