About this property

Boat house on the sea.

Boathouse is literally sitting on the ocean. With high ceilings, wood floors and beautiful views makes it one of Cheticamp's best rentals. Walking distance to Whale Cruises, restaurants, bars, and cofee shop, property is perfect. Only 10 minutes to the National Park. You will fall in love with the view, the ocean, the sal air and the sound of boats going by with their catch of lobster. Make this space your central location to visit the island. This is ground level, upstairs another rental.

There are two bedrooms in this rental and one king size bed in the open concept living room. There is another unit on the second floor.

Parking is street side. It is very well lit and we have never had any issues, it is a very safe area:)

The downtown area is quite nice and you are situated right on the boardwalk. Please take the time to take a stroll by the water and drop in at Marquerite boutique et Provisions for a fresh coffee and locally baked goods.

Amazing location and fantastic layout. Terrific ocean views and very central to numerous restaurants and bars. Joeleen was always quick to respond to questions and requests. She had really great suggestions for things to do and see in the area. The Boat House was very clean and extremely comfortable. Would recommend staying here if you are in the area.

Such a lovely place to stay! Right on the ocean, wonderful view of Cheticamp Island. It was fun to sit on the deck and watch the cattle, herons and eagles on the island. The hosts were very helpful, sending messages with all information needed including things to do and where to shop and eat in the area. Very restful!

We had a wonderful stay at the boathouse. The best part was the deck. It was huge and overlooked Cheticamp Harbour. It was beautiful, quiet and the perfect spot for coffee in the morning. There were plenty of restaurants around, whale watchng was walking distance and the national park right down to road. We had a wonderful stay.
