A few useful details worth noting for this section:
* West facing waterfront sunsets are a major feature of the property.
* Cheticamp has restaurants, grocery stores, whale watching, hiking, golf, and local shops within a short drive.
* Cape Breton Highlands National Park is only minutes away.
* Parking is available for multiple vehicles.
* The oceanfront yard and deck may require supervision for young children due to proximity to the water and the nature of the rocky water break. 
* Weather along the coast can change quickly, especially outside summer months.
* The home is directly on the Cabot Trail, so some road noise may occasionally be heard outside.
* Fishing boats often go out very early and can have a low rumble in the distance. 
* The indoor wood fireplace use must be arranged in advance and is subject to additional fees.
* Cell service at the house is good but can vary in parts of Cape Breton depending on carrier.
