Waterfront apartment accommodation

Cozy Lakefront Suite outside Halifax
Our family of 5 loved the basement suite. Our boys loved jumping off the dock, going for a canoe ride and playing charades as a family. Thanks for hosting us!

Seaside Nook
Quaint place with updated furnishings and right on the water with cute swings on the deck. Jonathan was very helpful, responsive to questions and provided recommendations on local eateries and things to do. Much appreciated!

Centrally Located Suite w/ View of the Harbour
Nice downtown place with a view! Loved it! Close to restaurants and waterfront.

Sunset Hill Apartment
Staying at Clarke & Shelley’s was great! The place was very nice, tidy and clean. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. There was shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the shower. The rooms were spacious and the windows let in a lot of natural light. The place felt very private, as there is nobody else living in the house (the top floor is just for storage). Great to see the sun setting over the sea on a cloudless evening. Shelley was very friendly and made us feel very comfortable.

Boat house on the sea.
We had a wonderful stay! As other reviews said, there was a smell upon entering (mothballs perhaps?), but didn't bother us and didn't notice it after a while. Although it is dated (that's part of the charm), the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed, the beds are comfortable, and the view was perfect. Overall we enjoyed our time there!

Scenic Lakefront Suite with Private Jacuzzi
Great spot, super unique. Perfect for a getaway not far from the beaten path.

Scenic Lakefront Apartment on Bras D'or Lakes
Beautiful and clean accommodations with a very kind and friendly host! The apartment is larger than it looks in pictures and had all the amenities we required. We had a baby crawling around, so we appreciated having such a clean place. Sally and her husband went above and beyond in greeting us with homemade muffins and wine, offering local tips and even cooking us some local lobster! The house is a little bit of an extra drive in, but it was worth it for those peaceful views. Sally and her husband live just upstairs and were always accessible if we needed anything. Thank you so much again for a lovely stay!

Beautiful ocean front couples getaway
We had such a wonderful stay. The property is so beautifully landscaped by Bruce and Leesa. You can see the love and care they put into it. The inside was no exception. It felt warm and inviting. Leesa and Bruce are wonderful people. Very friendly and put us at ease right away. Really really nice couple. Don't think twice about booking this place. You will not be disappointed. We will be coming back and will book Leesa and Bruce's place without a question. Thanks for making us feel so welcomed.

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.

Lovely oceanfront home w/4 BR + stunning views
Had a wonderful stay in Mahone Bay. The AB&B was beautiful spacious and had all the amenities you need. It was located in the heart of town and was easy walking to shops eateries and the waterfront. Craig and Laura were wonderful host responding quickly to all our needs.

Oceanfront Luxury Glamping Dome
The photos can’t do it justice. Absolutely stunning, warm and inviting. Cozy and quiet and relaxing while still having comfortable amenities! Would LOVE to return during the winter! Walking down to the private beach area during sunset was magical.

Hayden Lake"Mainhouse" fantastic lake view & peace
An incredible place to get some peace. Enjoyed the lake and the beautiful surroundings. Highly recommend.

‘All Tide Inn’ Oceanfront Home on the Minas Basin
Another great stay. The kitchen has all the amenities you would need. The place is clean and welcoming with comfortable beds, lovely big bathrooms. But the best part of the stay are the evenings out on the deck watching the ever changing views across the Minas basin over to Cape Blomidon where the setting sun provides spectacular sunsets every evening and if you’re lucky you’ll catch sight of the bald eagles that live nearby

Secluded Cape Breton Ocean Front Cottage
The house and surroundings were beautiful - surpassed our expectations. The deck area, private beach, firepits - wow! The house was fully equipped with everything you'd need. Just wish we could've spent more time. Highly recommend - we'd definitely go back!

Fundy Retreat
Kate’s place is a wonderful home base for exploring the Fundy shore. Very well appointed with thoughtful touches from the host and a wonderful property that is clearly very cared for.

Charming Modern Waterfront Cottage
We went as a work group, four women for four days!! This place was perfect, there are 3 bathrooms and seperate spaces, almost like renting two properties. The outside space is amazing and a clean hot tub to boot! we fell so in love with this place and hope some day to return in the summer months to utilize the beautiful lake this property is on. The host was amazing and lives nearby incase you need anything. I would definitely recommend this place !
Waterfront condo accommodation

Ocean Breeze Relaxing Oceanfront
The condo was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. The views from the living room and balcony were even better than the photos, and we loved falling asleep to the sound of the ocean crashing on the beach. Our only regret is not booking a second night!

Beautiful Waterfront 2 Bdrm Condo Downtown Ch'town

We loved Jeanne’s condo. It was very comfortable and in a great location. Could walk around the little town of Mahone Bay, or enjoy the view from the balcony.

Wonderful location, and Angela is an excellent host! She was very responsive the entire time and made us feel very welcome and comfortable in her space. Next time we're in Halifax, we'll definitely book with Angela again!
