The Rising Tide - Executive Class Mini Villa

Welcome to the The Rising Tide -- a chic, executive class couple's cottage packed with comforts and situated on a breathtaking 50+ acre property, with a groomed nature trail and secluded, sandy swimming beach. Enjoy captivating ocean views and epic sunsets from your sundeck or sofa.

Located 30 minutes from Cabot Cliffs golf course, a scenic 1-hour drive to the Cabot Trail and 5-10 min from restaurants, live music, beaches and e-bike rentals in nearby Port Hood and Mabou. It's a great base for exploring Cape Breton

The unit also has a pullout couch which can accommodate a child (must be 8+ to stay).

During their stay, Guests have access to a stunning beach on the property, just a 5-7 minute walk along our scenic nature trail. This hidden gem is a romantic backdrop for wedding proposals and a perfect spot for sea glass hunting, photography, morning yoga, or a refreshing summer swim.

Kindly note the following before booking:

1. There are two other mini villas on the property, but none obstruct each others' views.

2. This an "open concept" cottage, so there is no formal bedroom.

3. AGE RESTRICTION: For safety and other reasons, children must be 8 years or older to stay

4. OCCUPANCY LIMIT - No more than two adults and one child are permitted. No exceptions.

5. EV CHARGING - The unit has a 240 Volt, 50 amp outlet for EV charging, but guests should bring their own charging cable and adapter (NEMA 14-50 / RV plug). See photo in gallery. Charging fees apply.
1. HOUSE RULES: No pets, parties, events, smoking, fires (including on the beach), fireworks, drones, ATVs or cooking fish, shellfish or other strong-odour foods indoors. Quiet time begins at 10 pm

2. GUEST SAFETY - Use of the beach and nature trail is at guest's own risk and requires signing of a liability waiver due to absence of lifeguard on beach and presence of wildlife in our area.

Great view and clean, modern property

This property was new, clean and modern - very comfortable. The view of the water and forest was awesome. We were reasonably close to villages where we could get supplies and attend the many musical events of the Kitchenfest. Hosts were very attentive and conscientious. Highly recommended.

False advertising

Properly was beautiful but more of a wilderness cabin than a beach front villa. And the coyote notice was sent out 15 mins before arrival. Walk to beach was a 10 min walk through wilderness path the size of a ride on lawnmower. Will not be returning or recommending. Too much money for what you received!
