About this house rental
The Yellownose House is located directly on a 350m long private beach with a view of the river delta. From the beach, it's easy to pull the kayak into the sea or fish for dinner with a large family Canadian. Because of the special location at the mouth of the river in the Atlantic, no fishing license is required. The large sandy beach and the sheltered shallow bay at the house is particularly suitable for children. If this house is occupied, there is the identical "Bluenose House" next door, also for holidays together. Please ask. We are also happy to undertake fishing trips in our motor boat or sailing boat trips with instructions (if desired).
The special thing about this house is the location without a view of electricity pylons, wind turbines etc. You are completely private to yourself and yet there is a hospital a few minutes away (which is usually associated with long journeys to this region) and a 15-minute drive is Port Hawkesbury, the "capital" of Cape Breton. On You Tube you will find videos and aerial photos of the "Yellownose House"

We were delighted to spend a week in the Yellow House on the water. We had a beautiful private location, surrounded by ocean coves and bays with rocky beaches. 2 mile dirt road with 1/4 mile dirt driveway enhanced our privacy, except for the local deer, bunnies and birds. Beautiful wildflowers in bloom everywhere! We chose this location for our access throughout Cape Breton - highlights of Cabot Trail and Louisburg Fortress National Historic Site. No TV required us to relax, check our phones for news and family updates. Located near enough to Port Hawkesbury for urban needs (tire repair, food shopping, gas, car wash etc). We highly recommend that you bring paper maps and information, as much of Cape Breton is without GPS / cell service (SOS only) and 3G occasionally. Cape Breton has been on our "bucket list" for years -- this VRBO rental was the perfect complement to our trip. Thank you!

Beautiful clean and very comfortable home on the water. Private and quiet. Had everything we needed for a wonderful stay central to many sites in Nova Scotia.
