JEWEL   CAPE BRETON

Imagine waking up in the morning to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach?

Imagine sitting on the front porch and enjoying freshly brewed coffee while you watch seals play in the Atlantic Ocean just off your doorstep or watch pilot whales swim by.

Watch the local fishermen in their boats retrieving their catch and have the chance to purchase fresh lobsters straight from the fishermens’ wharf!

Imagine not even being able to hear traffic because the waves and wildlife sing so loud! Heaven…

But when you lay your head down at night, you should feel like you are in heaven…and if you chose the Master Bedroom as your room for the duration of your stay…welcome to heaven!

As you enter your eyes are immediately drawn to yet another amazing view of the Atlantic Ocean which surrounds you. And then, your eyes settle just below the view…on to the setee. Hope you brought some good books so you can lay here and relax. And then, the fireplace. Warm up your romantic getaway room before you jump into bed…or the Jacuzzi bath.

As you walk past the iron queen size bed away from the windows, you’ll notice the walk in closet on your left just before you arrive at your own private ensuite bathroom.

Now, if you are not into sharing, then you can each have your own private sink and shelves for your toiletries. If you are in to sharing, then fill up the tub (bubbles are located in the little cupboard between the tub and shower) and set that jacuzzie dial to 30 minutes. Press and relax. Hope you remembered to put the wine on the ledge of the tub…that way you don’t have to get out for 30 minutes! Light the candles, lay back and relax!

Now if it’s a hot summer day and you just want to quickly get you or the kids cleaned up, jump in the shower and enjoy! PS – the shower is big enough for two!
