Originally built by the first settlers in the mid-1800’s, Sailor’s Rest has recently been fully renovated and now offers air-condition, comfortable rooms equipped with bright furniture and handcrafted driftwood beach art. The house is mere feet from the ocean, with uninterrupted views of the ocean, the cove and marine wildlife. It is incredible to settle in at this house to relax and unwind for a longer stay. It is a well-furnished and comfortable house with an excellent king-sized bed (the only house with one on the ocean in Nova Scotia/Cape Breton!). It is great to have a fully functional and stocked kitchen to cook in, along with a brand-new washer and dryer for laundry mid-trip. Enjoy hours on the front porch watching the ocean, reading and relaxing under the handy outdoor umbrella. When the weather doesn't permit this, you are able to cosy up on the huge couch to watch the storms through the big front window, which is just as lovely. This house is perfect for one or two a couple or family with two older kids, as you fell that you have tons of room to really make our own during our stay.

We came across the Atlantic and immigrated in 2012 to enjoy sailing on our sailboat and trimarans. 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 we make a rest and renovated our private Sailor`s Rest House with lots of love.

The quaint fishing village of Samson’s Cove is surrounded by the ocean and a very nice little community. The fisherman’s house sits on the rocks at the end of the picturesque fishing village of Samson’s Cove next to Little Anse. Here you can enjoy a stunning and endless view in any direction.
