Cottages in Nova Scotia

This place was exactly what I was hoping!! It was beautiful, well maintained, and very clean. The host was very quick responding and very sweet and kind.

We really enjoyed the stay, very quiet and peaceful, locals are fantastic and kind. We took advantage of the fishing poles, kayaks, both fire pits, games, trampoline and most defiantly the fresh lobster from the fisherman on the wharf. Took advantage of the local sites and walks as well. We will repeat this stay in the future at this amazing little beach house.

This is a gorgeous timber frame cottage directly on the ocean. We loved the hot tub and had a clear starry night to enjoy the view. We loved the open concept cottage. The kitchen was well equipped and it was just a lovely space to hang out and listen to music or the waves of the ocean. Also the bed was super comfortable and had a great view. Special place!

The shipping container is even better in person! We loved using the hot tub and firepit and cooking outside with the beautiful view. It was great to have the food truck and restaurant within walking distance and the food was great. Shane is extremely responsive and all the little details were so well-thought out. We would definitely stay again!

One of those rare times when a house described as "stunning" really lives up to it. John's house near Halifax is beautiful and serene, all windows and wood and incredible views out to the water in the cove and ocean beyond. Surrounded by trees and a garden path down to the dock, it feels private but not isolated. Great house on the inside also - spotlessly clean, streamlined so there's no clutter but everything you need, simple but quite beautiful also. Comfortable beds, great kitchen and bathrooms and just full of sunlight. Can't imagine a better spot to relax and recharge, and close to lots of good hiking. John is super friendly and responsive, a great host - look forward to coming back.

this truly is one of those hidden gems on the south shore. fire pit by the water, the pool, hot tub, beautiful home. you won't regret spending time at this place. we are already planning our next trip to this space.

We really enjoyed our stay in Halls Harbour. It was very peaceful and the beach house was small but mighty the host has thought of everything we loved walking to the lobster pound for dinner. We had dinner at Dickie Baxter’s and Canning and enjoyed it. We enjoyed the hot tub and wood stove and listening to the waves as we slept. This was our second visit and we plan to return.!

A nice cottage on the premises of the owners but with full privacy. The cottage is right on the seafront with a nice view over the bay. The cottage is fully equiped and everything is in good working order. The town is about 10 minutes drive away so this is not walkable. Maureen and Bill are very hospitable , give good advice on the area but respect your privacy.

Staying at this place is a whole experience! First off the house is amazing, you can feel the work and love that was put into building it. Jayden was also really friendly and attentive when I had questions, and everything was very well labeled. It's the best place to unwind and connect with nature. Such an inspiring home and property! Thank you so much

Great cabin, well arranged and decorated, with everything you need. Just a bit close to the road, but perfect for one night

Absolutely magical stay! Surrounded by trees, birdsong, and the peace of the forest, it offered the perfect escape from the chaos of everyday life. The cabin itself is beautifully maintained, cozy, and thoughtfully stocked with everything needed for a comfortable stay. What truly made the experience even better was the host—exceptionally responsive, kind, and genuinely helpful. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind and reconnect with nature in total privacy and comfort.

We had a wonderful day and a relaxing night at Emily's Boathouse. Having had a hectic start to our trip with unforeseen issues due to car problems, Emily was super understanding and helped us reorganize our trip at her home. Communication was always good and prompt, and our stay at Emily's was very pleasant. From the moment we arrived, we felt the calm of the place soothe us from the stress we had experienced the previous days. The house is very comfortable, inspiring, really clean, super pretty, and well decorated. We particularly appreciated the vintage photos of Emily's family on the bedroom wall. Upon our arrival, delicious blueberry scones were waiting for us! We were able to enjoy the fresh water of the lake and observe various birds on the lake and property, including a group of Cedar Waxwings and a bald eagle. We really enjoyed the property and were very satisfied with Emily's service. Highly recommended!

We came from new glasgow and brought our family who were visiting from Ontario. It was such a sweet little cabin. We loved how every square inch was used and organized. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots/pans, utensils etc. There was a restaurant quality espresso machine as well which was neat. The hot tub was amazing, and had the most breathtaking view over the eight islands. We wished we could have stayed longer, look forward to going back some time for a longer stay. Chelsi was very responsive and kind, really great host. 10/10 for my first airbnb experience!!

What a phenomenal find! Kim and Craig go above and beyond to give you the ultimate vacation experience. Welcome charcuterie board, breakfasts to die for, a beautiful cabin stocked with everything that you could possibly need during your stay. With a front and back deck you can chase the sun while watching the ducks and maybe get a surprise visit from a deer. The perfect location to visit all of the local sites as well. Kim and Craig’s hospitality far exceeds the norm and we loved every minute of our stay!

Had a lovely stay at Peter’s place! This place was very clean, unique and private. We were very satisfied with this stay and will be back again :)

Jade's space was beautiful! Despite the gloomy weather we had a lovely stay by the foggy ocean for our anniversary! The shower is so cool and the space is so sweet. Would recommend!! :)

What a fantastic find! This cottage is well-equipped, comfortable, gorgeous surroundings, and we felt right at home. It was perfect for us and we can't wait to go back!

Good people, nice place. Only notes are ceilings are low (I hit my head) and bedroom let too much light in when blinds were closed. I would recommend bringing a sleep mask.

We had a great stay - awesome spot for a trip away with friends! Lots of space to lounge inside and a beautiful deck with a view. Loved having a BBQ & hot tub, and a fully stocked kitchen. Easy to move in for a couple of days and have it feel like home!

Place was great, had no problems finding it. Perfect for a night away with friends. My fiance loved all the small details walking in the door from music, lights and smell. Swings were a great touch! Great place to get away to relax

We had a wonderful getaway at Doreen’s. The cottage was just as beautiful and cozy as depicted and the setting is even prettier! We walked the dog on the beach, read in the screened porch and really relaxed. Doreen and Eric were fabulous hosts - responsive, but very respectful of our privacy. We’d definitely stay here again!

We loved our stay at Ashley and Glen’s AirBnB. It is in a beautiful location with an absolutely gorgeous view of the water. The sunrises were glorious from the sunroom, which is set up with a great little coffee station. The cottage was well furnished and very nicely decorated with lovely antiques and older nautical artifacts. The bed is very comfortable and we got great sleeps while there. While we didn’t get much chance to use the kitchen as we were there to visit local friends, it is very well appointed and would be very easy to make your own meals. The living room area was very cozy at night for watching Netflix and I appreciated the diffuser and candles that were on hand. Ashley and Glen welcomed us to bring our two labs and were gracious about that which was much appreciated. There is a great waterfront trail for walking the dogs right outside the door. We can’t wait to return!

Wife and I were down for y-con as vendors. The cottage is a lovely, quiet home we both enjoyed after a long day. Andrew was quick to respond when we had questions. I highly recommend the cottage for those looking for a nice quiet getaway. We look forward to being back next year for the event again.

Great spot! Ben was very quick with his communication and we enjoyed our stay on the lake! Only thing qe qished was that we should have stayed longer 😊 he added nice touches to the house with birthday greetings and balloons
