3 - Bedroom, Executive-Class Villa with sandy swimming beach

Welcome to the Sunset HideAway, an executive class, 3-bedroom vacation home -- one of three vacation homes located on our 50-acre, "Stay and Play" oceanside destination with a stunning, secluded 4-acre sandy beach zone. Come rest, relax, recharge and reconnect with nature in comfort and style while being a half-hour scenic drive from the world-class Cabot Cliffs Golf Course and just an hour from the world-famous Cabot Trail.

Enjoy stunning views of the ocean and nature and crimson sunsets from every room in this villa which is packed full of modern comforts.

If enjoying Cape Breton’s natural beauty in comfort and style is important, then you have come to the right place.

Please note: Unfortunately, we are unable to host children under the age of 8 years or pets.

Our luxurious, 3-bedroom vacation home is packed full of modern amenities including 9-foot ceilings, a well-equipped open-concept kitchen (with an island, bar stools and premium stainless steel appliances), satellite TV, a laundry center, air conditioning and ocean/nature views from every room. The spacious master bedroom has a King-sized bed, a private 3-piece bathroom, and a walk-in closet while the other two bedrooms have comfortable Queen-sized beds and access to the main bathroom. All beds have ultra-comfortable pillow-top mattresses and premium linens, and all bedrooms have blinds and screens to help you get a good night's sleep.

Outside, from the giant wooden sundeck, you can take in captivating ocean views and stunning Cape Breton sunsets while enjoying a glass of wine or a fine meal. The sundeck has a comfortable outdoor dining table and chairs as well as a propane BBQ.
Within Colindale Beach Villas, the Sunset HideAway sits on an expansive 2-acre lot with a giant private grassed area.

For those interested in taking in some near-magical scenery, picturesque Colindale beach is a leisurely 5-10 minute walk down our nature trail which meanders through a field of giant wildflowers and winds alongside a sparkling freshwater pond and emerald green sand dunes. The giant, 4-acre sandy, secluded beach features 1,000+ feet of sand and relatively warm swimming waters which often exceeds 21 degrees Celcius (70 degrees Fahrenheit) in the summer, with swimming possible through October. Relax in one of our beach chairs and listen to the sound of the waves crash on the shore while breathing in the fresh ocean air. The beach area is also a great place for a jog, meditation, beachcombing, beach volleyball and photography -- especially in the evening when the western sun illuminates the deep blue sea, the waves, the beach and the dunes. And, the sunsets here are world-class.

Our location makes for an excellent basecamp for enjoying Cape Breton in comfort and style. We are a scenic half-hour drive from the world-class Cabot Cliffs Golf course and whale watching in Inverness and an hour drive from the starting point of the world-famous Cabot Trail. The lakeside town of Baddeck, the historical Fortress of Louisburg and fishing expeditions are all easy day trips from our property.

Closer by, we are an easy 5-minute drive from the shops, restaurants, tuna fishing charters and five sandy swimming beaches of Port Hood, which is well-known for its warm waters, its summer/fall music festivals, its great seafood, its fishing charters and its 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).


PLEASE NOTE:

1. For safety and other reasons, children must be 8 years or older to stay, and pets of any kind are not permitted.

2. The price quoted EXCLUDES a 3.45% fee to cover the new Cape Breton Marketing Levy and associated taxes. THIS "EXTRA" WILL BE ADDED TO THE COST OF THE STAY ONCE BOOKED (as we are unable to include this charge in the quoted price shown).

3. Villa Sharing - Villa sharing by two couples is permitted, but villa sharing by 3 couples or 5 or 6 adults, however, is not permitted without owner approval. Extra guest fees of approximately 10% apply for 5th and 6th guests.

4. Guests are welcome to use the nature trail and beach zone on the property but these areas are at the guest's own risk and require signing a liability waiver (available upon arrival).

5. In booking with us, guests acknowledge that COVID-19 remains a risk for all travelers, even vaccinated persons. While we take steps to reduce risks, guests shall voluntarily assume the risk of exposure and agree to hold the owners harmless from any claims arising from COVID-19

Our stay
We had a nice stay. The house was very nice with a beautiful view of the water. The house is very private with a nice back yard with large deck. The only minor negative would be the gravel road you have to drive on. It is groomed so not hard to traverse at all. We would differently stay here again.

Stunning view and amazing private beach
The villa was even better than advertised. It was clean, well appointed and a perfect location for all that we wanted to do during our first trip to Cape Breton. The short picturesque walk to the beach was lovely and the private beach area was incredible. The water was warm, lots for the kids to explore and play with and the privacy was unmatched.

3 Room Executive Class Villa in Port Hood, NS
We had an amazing vacation in Cape Breton Island. The Villa was clean and beautiful. It was very spacious. The kitchen was extremely well equipped. There are windows all along the side facing the ocean with beautiful views. There was a large deck facing the ocean where we enjoyed our coffee in the morning and relaxed in the evening. There was a nice nature walk/ path with so many pretty wild flowers along the way. This path led to the beach where we were able to enjoy beautiful sunsets. We visited Cheticamp and Cape Breton Highlands National Park and went hiking on some of the trails. We also visited Baddeck and the Alexander Graham Bell Museum . We enjoyed all of the restaurants, and everyone was very friendly and professional. I wish we could have stayed longer and we certainly would love to go back and stay in Port Hood at the same villa. Thank you Michael and Marina for sharing your beautiful home with us!!

Everything about our stay was incredible. The home worked perfect for our family and inlaws. No one wanted to leave after our 5 night stay. The home was beautifully decorated and we head everything we needed and more. Mike was a great host and very accommodating which we greatly appreciated traveling across the country and visiting Cape Breton for the first time. We will be back and look forward to staying in this home again.

If I could give ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I would. Our host Michael went above and beyond to ensure our stay was worry free. The Villa exceeded our expectations. It was obvious a lot of thought went into the design. Our hosts thought of everything with all the little details taken care of. We have already rebooked for the summer!

The only item that was not great was the walk to beach.....as everyone was 70 +....the walk was steeper than I anticipated and no where to sit and enjoy the beach. This property and accommodation was top notch....great kitchen for food....wide, big table for eating and card playing, beds all very good, bathrooms very clean and well appointed. Choice of artwork in each bedroom and living room was so very suitable. Easy access to nearby beaches & local towns. View was spectacular... Would highly recommend this rental.

Michael's place was exactly as described, but the view was even better! The modular home was stylish, comfortable, spotless and well equipped for the 6 days we were lucky enough to stay in the area. Communication was clear and if we had a question, quickly answered. It was a good spot for touring the area and getting a feel for this side of Cape Breton. The bike trail was awesome for our ebikes and the beaches pristine. We look forward to coming back. Thank you for your attention to detail!
