Cape Breton, Nova Scotia Apartment & House Rentals

Cape Breton is renowned for its distinctive and vivid classical Scottish violin music that has been incubated over the years by its relative isolation-so much so that music lovers from Scotland come here to experience their own history. A violin and piano duo usually perform heartfelt dance music that can be heard across the island at community halls. The tourist-targeted early-evening concerts are well advertised; later at night you will find ones that attract the entire local population. Judique, Margaree Valley and Chéticamp are three of the most significant musical centres.

Cape Breton has a general store selling produce, assorted goods, acting as a post office, etc. Other local general stores have a rather limited range of groceries-best to stop for groceries in a larger center like Baddeck, Chéticamp, or Port Hawkesbury, but there are two Co-Op grocery stores, as well as a few independents that do a good job together. Cape Breton is a small area that has very limited houses for rent, of which are mainly used as guest houses and short-term rentals. If you’re lucky you may be able to sub-lease a house for rent in Cape Breton.
