Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Guysborough County

A nice, peaceful spot with a comfortable bed, great living space, and a good-sized kitchen with everything we needed.

This was a great little place to stay for 2 months (Feb-april). Daphne was a great host, and was always responsive. Being a winter rental there are always little things that happen and they were fixed right away. The house is an older house in the country and felt peaceful. Internet was fast and the house was warm. Unfortunately we could not walk to the ocean, when the snow melted there was a puddle that you could not go around. Would stay again.

We needed a place for our guys to stay while working in the area. They loved the accommodations and the host was super easy to deal with . If we are back in the area I know where we will be staying. Thanks so much

Beautiful place! The house is super comfortable and with ample of space. Lots of games and activities for kids was a nice plus for us. Highly recommended!

This home is truly amazing, a well laid out cottage with excellent views. It is very well stocked with games, books, movies, kitchen appliances, etc. Clean & cozy accommodations, the record player & woodstove were a hit & well used and spending time at the beach was what memories of made of. We could have stayed for much longer & would not have run out of things to do. Communication with Lori was very easy. We would highly recommend this home to anyone who is hoping to get away & relax.

This is our second time staying here. Beautiful location and so peaceful. Great amenities. Bring extra K-cups if you are a big coffee drinker.

Jennie and Guy were amazing hosts. They were extremely helpful and accommodating. Their cozy home has ample space on the main level for indoor living if you ever needed a break day. The deck is large and private and probably my favourite part of the house. The kitchen is extremely well stocked which made cooking away from home an enjoyable experience. The home gets a great breeze from the ocean which kept things cool on the inside and left us with no bugs on the outside! Jennie and Guy provided some excellent tips for things to do in the area and we used the home as a jump off point to see many other fun things in Cape Breton. While not immediately on the ocean, you can still see it from the deck and they were happy to share their kayaks and paddle board with us. A very nice perk which you won't find in many places. The little island is picturesque with lots of beautiful scenery to explore. The local beach was sandy and warm and the two pubs we went to were quite nice as well. Overall, I would highly recommend it. The value for money was extremely fair and we had a great experience overall. Thanks for the memories!

Beautiful time with my parents in Halfway Cove! We were initially drawn to the private beach and little cove—both more beautiful than the photos suggested. We swam every day; it was surprisingly warm! Would have maybe loved more beach walking distance, but that's neither here nor there. The house itself was beautiful: an well-kept charming older house with lots of light and a lovely layout. My husband and I loved having our own "wing" downstairs whilst my parents were comfortably situated on the top floor. It was pristinely kept: super clean, comfortable and with all the amenities to cook at-home meals. We went to the local Independent (15 min drive) and made most meals at home on the barbecue or in the kitchen together. Gary was a lovely host. Very kind and helpful as we sought out local recommendations. And an exceptional jam-maker too. Would definitely come back!

Adela was a great host, super proactive, and the space was exactly as described. I would definitely stay again!

It was a very good place to spend a night or two. we had a very good time with kids and family. There was an Indian restaurant Naan Stop which was an added advantage for us. It had a very good neighborhood and a board walk across the road.

We loved Karen’s place, it was clean, convenient and cozy, it was in the perfect location close to the university and within walking distance of restaurants, walking paths and shopping! It was the perfect spot and we will definitely come back and stay in this amazing gem!

Five stars! I know I'm not the first reviewer to say this, but the photos don't do this place justice. It's so spacious and has lovely little architectual details that don't show up in the pics. Loved the luxury of having two bathrooms while traveling with a friend, especially the ensuite one in the master bedroom. Robert's place is squeaky clean and with a home-y vibe. The beds and pillows were comfortable and seemed new-ish and I appreciated finding a nice tea selection after a long day on the road. My friend was grateful to have a soak in the clawfoot tub (which was kitted out with all sorts of salts/bath bombs, etc) after travelling. When she realized the hair blowdryer was missing, we messaged Robert and he came over immediately with a new one. We both really appreciated that, and how quickly he responded. Glad we found this little gem!

Such a cute little spot we absolutely loved it! Loved the board game options and the layout. It was exactly what we needed and wanted. It was super clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay there again and again:)

Great spot to stay. In town for work- good location, close to the hospital and town. Not the most sound proof from the family/kids upstairs but it’s great other than that! Would recommend if you’re looking for a cozy spot to stay.

The East River Retreat was a great place to stay during my time in Sheet Harbour. Rebekah and Will provided clear instructions on how to find the property and enter the Airbnb. I arrived late at night and they had turned on the lights for my arrival which was very kind. I was in the area for work so opted to cook at the property a couple of times and they have the kitchen area very well stocked with every item that you could need or expect at an Airbnb. Would 100% recommend this property if you find yourself in the area!

Donna's place was very clean and comfortable, and the kitchen was very well supplied for making meals. I also appreciated the ample parking (two full-sized pick-up trucks fit easily) and proximity to great places to eat (I was sometimes too tired to use the fine kitchen)! Donna made the stay easy and convenient - thanks!
