Seaside Country GuestHouse
Such a comfortable stay for our family gathering! We are repeat visitors and will definitely return again. Franklin is a fantastic host.

The Yellow Beach House
What a little piece of paradise! We loved everything about the yellow house by the water and will be back! The accommodations are beautiful and exceeded expectations and it is perfectly situated a few minutes from Digby on one side and less tgan half an hour from Annapolis Royal. If you stay here, go watch the sunset at Point Prim lighthouse! Thank you for sharing this beautiful home Jane.

Private Lakefront Escape|Swim, Sip Wine & Stargaze
Very cozy place! It was right by the water with a beautiful view. Very convenient as well. We were about a 30 minutes drive from Downtown Halifax. Ashley was very responsive and helpful. Beautiful place and amazing host! I'd stay there again. :)

Harbour House - Halls Harbour Waterfront Getaway
My fourth time staying at Halls Harbour so that tells you how much I like it there! Lol Easy check in, very clean, comfortable beds & nice linens, all the comforts of home! And the view can’t be beat! Would highly recommend!

Lakefront 2BR cottage w/ hot tub
An absolutely dream staying here. Beautiful location and cottage, everything you need on hand. Private and peaceful. Will definitely be staying again ❤️

The Alton
Nice house for fun trip with friends! Private, cozy, and well equipped with beautiful surroundings. We had wonderful night thanks to Sherry :) Definitely worth to visit

Cabot Trail Ocean Front & Mountain View Lodge
The best and most beautiful location near Cheticamp. We were so impressed with this stunning lodge and its incredible design. Everything was so comfortable and laid out well. This place has the best equipped kitchen we’ve ever come across, we loved the cool water dispenser. And last but not least, the views are phenomenal! Thank you so much for hosting us.

The Porters Lake House
Extraordinary property with expansive windows overlooking the lake and a stunning deck for enjoying the view. The interior was both comfortable and stylish, with tasteful designer touches throughout. Outside, the gas fire pit and string lights created a magical setting for evening s’mores. Beds were incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. The hosts, Vicky and Steve, were responsive and thoughtful throughout our stay. Note: the steep, unpaved driveway requires AWD—it wasn’t an issue for us and actually added a sense of adventure. There is an alternative place to park vehicles midway for non-AWD vehicles. The only downside was unexpected construction on the lot next door starting Monday, which brought some loud noise. An excavator was moving boulders to clear out space to build a house. Vicky and Steve handled it quickly and graciously with alternative options. Aside from that, the stay was absolutely wonderful.
Beach house rentals with a pool

Beach and a Heated Pool!
Great location with a short walk to the beach and privacy compared to other places in the area.

White Point Resort - Panoramic Ocean View
This home was beautiful! It was perfect for our team away day. The location was perfect, the home was cozy and Danielle was always available to answer our questions.

Atlantic Views - 5 Bedroom Exec Home with Pool
Excellent place to stay in New Waterford before riding the Cabot Trail. Pool is heated and views are great. About 5 mins from town but most restaurants deliver - and the new pizza and bakery place is great. Karri & Corri were very responsive and had the place ready within 24hrs notice.

Strait to your Heart Cottage
Perfect place for my 2 week stay while I worked in town! Had everything I needed and more! Super clear instructions, the host was super awesome and made me feel at home!

The Blue Cottage
JP was very friendly and we enjoyed the animals.

Sunshine By The Sea! 10 minutes from Cavendish.
My family loved our stay at the beach house. We had what we needed for the week, and Laurie was kind enough to add to a birthday celebration. The hosts were responsive and helpful.

Beach House WoW - This Old Tree
This was a truly fabulous place -- my only regret was not staying longer. We found this listing after planning a trip to Five Islands Provincial Park, as part of a larger road trip around Nova Scotia. Had we known just how wonderful and peaceful the property and area were, we would have stayed longer and used the spot as a bit of a "home base" to do some more exploring around the region. The house is beautiful, and Jennifer and Barclay are really working to create a wonderful small vacation community, with a few other rental units on the property. Jennifer warmly welcomed us on arrival and gave us some local recommendations. The Five Islands Lighthouse Park, which is a 5-minute walk from the unit, is a fabulous place to watch the tide go in and out, and the surrounding residential community feels very warm and welcoming.

Miles Away Cottage
Great place. All details well thought of. Great location right in the middle of PEI. Special praise to wood stove. It's such a pleasure to sit by the fire on a stormy night. Give it a little time to get going, and it runs perfectly.

Luxury Ocean house at Bull Point Estate
Beautiful location. Easy check in.. extremely easy check out. Hosts were quick at responding, and answered all questions. The hot tub is small .. would have appreciated a 4 person hot tub. House was spacious and well organized. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped. The large fireplace would have been enjoyed,during a rainy evening but wasn’t useable. Great outdoor space. Views were spectacular!! We would definitely stay here again!

Taigh-Solais… Your Seaside Escape
Very relaxing three days, enjoyed the view very much

The Lookout - Cottage
Loved this sweet cottage with an ocean view. Every detail is thought of to make it a cozy, comfortable and relaxing weekend away. Thank you to the wonderful hosts.

Beach House Retreat: Oceanfront & Hot Tub
Our stay was more beautiful than we could possibly have imagined. The stunning landscape right out the back never ceased taking our breath away, with some profound sunsets right over the bay. We loved sitting on the deck with our books and coffee, and especially loved walking down along the water, watching the tide go out and in. The restfulness of everything was absolutely healing and rejuvenating. Between the views, the beach, the critters (we saw the fox and some deer), the deck, and the easy communication with the host, staying here again would be a reason to revisit Nova Scotia, which is a 16 hour drive from our home! But it was totally worth it. I should also mention that there were too many amenities to take advantage of in the week we stayed there!

Ocean House with hot tub, indoor sauna, and kayaks
Our family of six adults really enjoyed this beautiful, well-appointed house — particularly the location. This new home has incredible views and we spent considerable time enjoying the wildlife that came into the cove. The hot tub, sauna, croquet set, and kayaks were really special added bonuses of which we took advantage. The house had everything we needed in regard to linens, kitchen items, and entertainment. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. The location was very private and peaceful — we didn’t see another person save some friendly waves from passing boats. We drove about 25 minutes for a dinner in Shelburne and visited Digby (2 hours away) and Mahone Bay (~1.5 hours away) while we were there, but also — because of the beautiful setting — ended up spending more time at the house than originally intended. Highly recommend!

The Garden by the Sea
What a beautiful place to spend a weekend very clean very organized and a deer waiting for us. when we pulled in the driveway. Our stay was lovely. We would definitely stay again. Thank you Thomas.

Fire&Stone Oceanfront Retreat
Not 1 complaint. The hosts thought of everything a guest might need for a comfortable stay and had it there. My friends and I had a really great time and enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit and propane fire table. We will have to come back to try the sauna. 10/10

Oceanfront Sunset Beach House
What an absolute slice of heaven this place is! We travelled from NS with the entire family and made memories to last a life time. The house, the property, and the beach is picture perfect. Not to mention, the field of cows next door… AMAZING! The hosts are absolute gems and were extremely responsive and lovely to deal with. We are in the works of planning our 2026 summer trip back! 10/10 recommend to anyone and everyone. Thank you for sharing this piece of paradise with us, Ashley! 🤍
