Welcome to the Sunset-Hideway, one of three 4.5 star vacation homes located on a scenic 50-acre, "Stay & Play" oceanside destination with a stunning, secluded sandy beach. The villa's open-concept design, amenities, ocean views and deck makes it ideal for a family or two
couples.
A great base for exploring Cape Breton - Just 30 min from Cabot Cliffs golf course, a scenic 1-hour drive from the Cabot Trail and 5-10 min from the restaurants, live music, beaches and shops in Port Hood and Mabou.
If enjoying Cape Breton’s natural beauty in comfort and style is important, then you have come to the right place.
This luxurious, 3-bedroom vacation home is packed full of modern amenities including, a well-equipped open-concept kitchen (with an island, bar stools and premium stainless-steel appliances), air conditioning, satellite TV, a laundry center and ocean views from every room.
The master bedroom has a King-sized bed, private bathroom, and walk-in closet while the other two bedrooms have Queen-sized beds and access to the main bathroom. All beds have comfortable pillow-top mattresses and linens, and all bedrooms have blinds and screens to help you get a good night sleep.
Outside, you will enjoy captivating ocean views and stunning sunsets while enjoying a glass of wine or a fine meal from the comfort of your oversized sundeck. The deck has a dining table, chairs and propane BBQ. Outside, you'll also find a Level 2 charging outlet for an EV (see details).
During their stay, guests can visit stunning Colindale Beach, located an easy 8-10 minute stroll along our scenic nature trail which winds through a vibrant field of wildflowers, past a shimmering freshwater pond and over emerald green sand dunes. This gem of a beach has warm swimming waters in summer and ideal conditions for cold plunging in the spring and late fall. Unwind in one of our beach chairs, soothed by the sound of crashing waves and the fresh sea breeze. A romantic setting for many wedding proposals, the beach is perfect for leisurely walks, sea glass hunting, meditation, refreshing swims, or photography—especially in the early evening when the western sun illuminates the deep blue sea, waves, and dunes in a magical way. The sunsets here are world class.
Location wise, we are an easy 5-10 minute drive from the shops, restaurants, and 5 sandy swimming beaches in Port Hood, which is well-known for its warm waters, music festivals, great seafood, fishing charters and warm hospitality. Meanwhile, we are about 10 minutes from picturesque Mabou which has restaurants with local fiddle music, groceries and miles of sensational hiking trails (up to and along Cape Mabou which features breathtaking views of Cape Breton's rugged coastline, cliffs and beaches below).
