Holiday rentals with a kayak in Halifax Regional Municipality

We had a great stay. A beautiful location, a very nice cottage, well appointed. Jordan was proactive prior to check in, and the communications were very clear.

Dave’s cottage was cozy, clean, and equipped with everything we needed for our stay! We had the pleasure of seeing two different geese families and lots of ducks and loons, too. Our toddler loved all the toys and books and we enjoyed the gorgeous views and comfortable furnishings. We really appreciate Dave’s hospitality and great communication. All in all it was a visit!

We have done a lot of traveling. This was our favorite AIRBNB ever. Its a bit of a trek outside the city, but if you are seeking peace and tranquility this is the ticket. The property is beautifully designed and has everything you need and more. The owners are excellent communicators. Although we try not to duplicate our trips (too much to see in this world) this would be one we'd consider. Too often you need a vacation from your vacation...not here.

Beautiful private property hidden away from the road, with the lake in the backyard. Casondra was super responsive and easy to communicate with. The interior was clean and there are instructions for pretty much anything you’d need inside the home. So cozy at night and the hot tub was so nice! They even let us use their kayaks, what a treat. We loved our two night stay, would definitely recommend!

It was really a nice place. Friendly and responsive host. Peaceful and relaxed surroundings. Really great place to hide from City noise for a little bit.

very comfortable and very peaceful spot!! hot tub worked great, and a nice spacy house! had all utensils and dishes we needed. only thing I'd suggest is some more cups (different sizes) and maybe a couple extra plates. but it was a very small gripe, nothing to bring my rating down, still a 5 star stay, based on the private location alone. worth the price for 2 to 4 people looking to have some peaceful privacy.

We had a great experience here. It was our first time visiting Nova Scotia, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Lisa was very accommodating and allowed us to check in a couple hours early because our flight landed earlier in the day. The lakefront property was so peaceful and the views were stunning. The home itself was also beautiful. The kitchen was stocked with anything you would need to cook meals, and it was very clean! We enjoyed lounging on the comfortable couch after getting back from a long day of exploring. The hot tub was the perfect temperature, and also very clean! The king size bed was very comfortable, and there were extra pillows if needed. Overall, it was an excellent experience and I would highly recommend this spot to others!

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.

Lucinda is your perfect Airbnb host. Most important is communication, responsiveness, and honesty, and she was always available. Very kind and thoughtful too. Her boathouse is so warm and cozy, views and deck right onto the water, and catches all the afternoon sun. It is beautifully decorated and furnished, and well stocked with the essentials in the kitchen if you are cooking. The hot tub was clean and functional - what a way to end each day! On top of all this, reasonably priced. Highly recommend

We had a lovely stay at Melanie's cottage. The cottage was very spacious, clean and had absolutely everything that we needed. (bottle of wine was a nice touch) Melanie was very responsive to our questions and responded right away. The cottage is on a busy street but is relatively quiet when you are on the beautiful front deck. We would recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to explore the area.

Highly recommend this place and the host is very responsive. All was great with Thanh. We’ll be back soon to this beautiful cottage.

We had an excellent stay at Tara’s place. The place was super clean and decorated so beautiful. We enjoyed the screened in porch, the views and all the little animals ( squirrels and chipmunks) and birds. We were even greeted by a bunny. This place had all the amenities you need to relax and enjoy. We took our side by side and spent a day exploring the trails right to Sheet Harbour which was a great adventure. Tara is super responsive and an excellent host. We loved everything about this beautiful place. We hope to return someday soon.

Sarah and Lawrence are great hosts! They were very warm and welcoming! The reservation was confirmed quickly, details were clear and the cottage was more than we expected! The cottage felt homie, has everything you need, and an amazing view! It was great to sit out of the deck! Not too far from Halifax or Wolfville! Very happy with our time at the cottage!

absolutely stunning view and was so quiet. house was very clean and had everything we needed. absolutely recommend.

I can't say enough about this place! It was VERY peaceful and private with a gorgeous sand beach right at the doorstep. We wondered why it was called 'Seal Rock House' until we woke up one morning and saw the seals!!! We spent hours watching them and it was a highlight of our tour around the province. The house was spotless, had comfy beds, and we loved the design. We felt at home. Christoph was an amazing host. He was very friendly and left great info about the surrounding area, plus some menus we ordered from quite frequently! An incredible place to stay and an extremely reasonable price! Very highly recommended!!!!!

It was a great getaway for two friends. We stayed for three nights. It was an amazing experience. Check-in was easy. The cottage was immaculate and well equipped. The setting is incredible. Private with beautiful views. Our host, Matthew, was very responsive and messaged us to make sure we had everything we needed (which we did). A highly recommended stay!

What a wonderful place to relax! Everything was perfect, from the fully stocked kitchen to the comfy patio lounge chairs & bed, the fire pit with lots of wood all chopped & ready to go and best of all the hot tub! Bonus was the visiting deer which were fun to feed using the supplied apples! Highly recommend this secluded cottage on the river if you’re looking for a quiet getaway! The cottage was exactly as described in the listing! We booked this cottage because it was so close to our daughter’s wedding but it ended up being a mini vacation as well! Thank you!

Blue Forest Shores is truly an amazing getaway for us and we would definitely come back when we’re in Nova Scotia again. We stayed at the Boat house which has beautiful view and is very private. Our hosts, Yaro, Savayda, and Wouter are extremely nice and genuine and we actually felt like visiting our family home. Thank you so much for your amazing hospitality and we will see you again!
