Family-friendly vacation rentals in Sydney

Fantastic place for our annual girls get away! 4 of us girls each had our own place to sleep. Amazing kitchen with everything you need. I loved the open concept with breathtaking views!! I could even keep an eye on my 70 year old Mom who was fishing off the dock while I was busy in the kitchen lol We will definitely be going back ♥️

Thank you for your kindness and your welcome. Paradise place.

Cabot shores was an amazing family trip. The beach and the views are incredible. The live music was so much fun. Would recommend to anyone

This is a great place to relax! Extremely quiet, spectacular view and plenty of space for a family of 4 to 6 to spread out and chill. The private beach is a nice added touch and Baddeck is only a 2 minute drive, but I wouldn’t walk there, cars drive a little fast down that road and there’s no sidewalk. Tyler was a great host, explained everything perfectly, right down to recommending water shoes for the private beach ( which we had). There’s also a nice listing of local places and lots of brochures so you can find stuff to do. It was ~25 degrees when we stayed and it gets nice and cool at night so not having A/C isn’t a problem. There are so many windows that open in so many directions, you’ll catch a breeze.

We came in the off season so everything was so quiet and peaceful. We were only there for a night but wish we would have stayed longer. The sauna was incredible and the cabins were beautiful and Cozy. This is a must for anyone who enjoys peace and calm.

quiet place and really nice view. The rooms are very clean. Recommend it！

We had the best time at River Nest Cabins! My husband, 5 month old daughter and I only stayed for a night and have decided to return next year for a longer stay because we enjoyed it so much. Beautiful cabins, very helpful host, very serene location. We’ve already recommended this place to a few of our friends!

Kim’s place was great for our trip to Celtic Colours. Location was good as it had easy access to major roads but was not on one. Cabin was comfortable with lots of nice touches. Easy to make meals in the well equipped kitchen. Kim accommodated our fragrance free needs graciously. She was always responsive. We had a wonderful week and would definitely return!

Kim's home is comfortable and spacious and had what we needed to cook and relax. There is some noise from the road, which is close by, but it's fairly quiet at night.

Lovely location, beautiful surroundings, peaceful spot. Angelo was a great host, super helpful, with great, proactive communication. This is the second year in a row I stayed at the cabins and absolutely loved the spot. The cooking station is excellent and well-equipped, covered, and has a big table for sharing meals with friends. The cabins are super comfy, heated, and well appoint d. The sauna is a bonus. Thanks, Angelo!

absolutely perfect we'll definitely be back

Staff at Cabot Shores, and especially Paul were efficiently and immediately responsive to our needs. We enjoyed our stay and appreciated getting to chat with Paul and learning about the development of this unique facility. We appreciated Paul’s commitment to protecting the environment through recycling, solar use and by growing vegetables and raising egg laying hens. Perhaps renters with pets should be given a heads up that the cabins have ant traps. The outside air was pleasant so keeping the windows open was great, but screens on all the windows would be helpful in keeping the mosquitoes out.

Elizabeth puts so much thought into making sure her guests have everything they need including fresh food, flavoured coffee, and anything else to make their visit perfect. Her level of communication is superior to anyone else I have ever stayed with. The house is charming and cosy and I had the best sleeps when staying there. What Elizabeth forgot to mention is that she is in a very walkable neighbourhood and only two blocks from Sydney Harbour, right on the edge of one of the scenic driving routes. It is only a half hour to Louisbourg, and 15 minutes or less to Glace Bay. It was the perfect set up for exploring Cape Breton.

Green Gables is a beautiful place to spend a few days, close enough to Baddeck for takeaway pizza but far enough away for total peace and quiet. The house was warm, very comfortable and clean, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. It felt like we were in Anne of Green Gables!!!

What a beautiful place to stay! Andra had clear directions laid out for us, since the service is spotty on the way, and it was very easy for us to find! Private, quiet, and just an overall wonderful stay. Andra was quick to help us with anything we needed during our stay. Nice open concept and great for the kiddos. Would definitely stay again!

Great location near Cape Breton. Very cozy and clean chalet. Perfect for a family getaway and the staff are very helpful with local tips and recommended hikes.

The place was very comfortable, welcoming, nicely decorated & clean. Lots to work with in the kitchen if you wanted to eat in. But also close to a variety of restaurants. Excellent water pressure in shower with lots of towels, soap, etc. There was a slight glitch in getting the entry code, but Courtney solved that very promptly. Baddeck and surrounding area has a lot to offer visitors & Courtney's place is in an ideal location for walking to many sights, as well as a short walk to the water. People we encountered were always friendly and helpful!

Lovely stay - thank you for hosting us.
