Kleines Paradies am Atlantik
Das Sailor`s RestHouse entspricht voll und ganz der Beschreibung und ist ausgestattet mit allen Dingen, die man für einen gelungenen Aufenthalt benötigt. Das Haus ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und mit Maritime Art dekoriert. Die herrliche Lage direkt am Atlantik ist kaum zu übertreffen. Aus fast allen Fenstern kann man das Glitzern des blauen Atlantik geniessen. Wir liebten das Ausspannen auf der Terrasse, dem Wellenrauschen zuzuhören und den Geruch des Meeres - ganz einfach traumhaft. Hervorragendes seafood ist täglich im lebendigen Fischerhafen zu bekommen und neben einem kleinen Laden um die Ecke ist sogar ein Supermarkt in ein paar Minuten zu erreichen. Man muss die Insel überhaupt nicht verlassen…. Vermieter sind sehr nett und antworten zeitnah. Vielen herzlichen Dank und wir werden bestimmt wieder unsere nächsten Ferien im Sailor`s Rest verbringen.

schönes Häuschen auf atemberaubenden Grundstück
Bei meinem Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Urlaub durfte ich als eine der ersten Gäste des Sailor´s Rest einige Tage in diesem außergewöhnlichen Häuschen in unbeschreiblich schöner Umgebung, direkt am offenen Atlantik verbringen. Ich habe mich soooo wohl gefühlt und wäre am liebsten noch viel länger geblieben. Das Haus hat eine ganz besondere Wohlfühlatmosphäre, ebenso die geräumige, verglaste, windgeschützte Sonnenterrasse. Sowohl drinnen im Haus als auch von draußen rund ums Haus ist das Meer zu sehen, zu hören, zu riechen und zu spüren. Einfach einzigartig. Wer wie ich diese tolle Natur liebt, die Ruhe und das Meer so nah, wird sich hier zu jeder Jahreszeit und bei jedem Wetter ganz sicher sehr wohl fühlen. Es gibt dabei so viel zu erleben, zu entdecken und schöne Wanderungen in alle Himmelsrichtungen zu unternehmen. Auch eine Wanderung immer am Atlantik entlang, bei höherer Luftfeuchtigkeit und etwas mehr Wind ;-) kann ich in entsprechender Kleidung sehr empfehlen. Auch diese Wanderung war für mich ein unvergesslich schönes Erlebnis. Im Oktober war ich hier nicht mehr im Atlantik baden. Dafür waren aber die Cranberrys leuchtend dunkelrot erntereif und unbeschreiblich lecker ;-) Geschützte Badebuchten gibt es aber direkt am Haus und immer wieder sowohl Richtung Osten als auch Westen. Ein schönes Häuschen auf atemberaubenden Grundstück in wunderschöner Natur, macht Sehnsucht aufs Wiederkommen.

About the host

Hosted by Bob

Host profile image
I sailed across the Atlantic and immigrated in 2012 to enjoy sailing and living on a 70-square-meter 12-meter (38`) sailing catamaran. We love to explore the numerous dreamy bays, swim and get our dinner ourselves, fishing mackerels and collecting mussels.
After living aboard for a few years I make a rest and renovated our private Sailor`s Rest House with lots of love. You can rent our Hobie Island Adventure sailing kayaks with instructions how to sail and paddle.
