Holiday rentals with a kayak in Nova Scotia

Sharon’s riverside cottage was a great end to our NS vacation. We spent many hours enjoying all the amazing seating areas on the property, but especially enjoyed coffee and meals down on the water. Sharon made us feel at home and was the most amazing host we’ve had throughout our stay. We would recommend this beautiful cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing location on Cape Breton.

This tiny home perfectly fit all 4 of our guests, had space to cook and to relax. The provided activities (kayaks, pattle boards, outdoor games etc) were in excellent condition and super convenient and easy to access. Over was a perfect stay!

We enjoyed staying at Robert's fabulously decorated home. It is a unique home in a beautiful setting; it's not often we get to stay in a home with exotic birds, friendly ducks, and a dinosaur room. And Robert is an excellent host. It's a great location for seeing the area - many attractions within a 1-2 hour drive. We would stay here again if our travels bring us back to Nova Scotia.

We were in awe of absolutely everything during our stay. Could not stop talking about how perfect everything was, the views, the place itself, and all it included. Host was very friendly and quick to respond as well. This is by far one of the most beautiful places I’ve stayed on the island and I already can’t wait to come back. 10\10 recommend.

From the moment we arrived at this charming cottage, we were blown away by the breathtaking view. It made every sunrise and sunset feel magical. The amenities were equally impressive. The cottage was clean, and beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything we needed - from a fully stocked kitchen to linens and even games for a rainy day. The location was fantastic, as we were just minutes away from local grocery stores and a mix of eateries - perfect for grabbing a quick bite or enjoying a leisurely dinner. Plus, the area is packed with sightseeing adventures and historic landmarks to hidden gems we discovered along the way. This place felt like home away from home and we can’t wait to go back again!

large space that was close to town, very clean and as advertised. host was very kind and clear communication, very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend!

This was our second time staying and it was just as good as the first! Nancy is so friendly and even offered us a late check out without our asking. The house has everything we need for a relaxing end of the school year getaway. We have an annual end of the school year trip and hopefully this will continue being our go to spot for years to come! The views, the layout, the space, the tranquility, the hot tub, 10/10!

An absolutely dream staying here. Beautiful location and cottage, everything you need on hand. Private and peaceful. Will definitely be staying again ❤️

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.

A great cozy getaway for a couple. You don’t always want a giant expensive place that sleeps 8. This perfect for 2 people, full of funky decor, well equipped and reasonably priced. I would definitely go back!

What a beautiful place to wake up in! The views are so peaceful. The stars at night seen while lying in the hammock on the top deck were beautiful ! Devon’s attention to detail in making Steel Away is evident throughout.❤️ This is a very comfortable place to stay, and I look forward to the opportunity of returning. I don’t want to forget to mention a fabulous hot tub!

Great place with an outstanding hosts. Instructions were simple and clear. View of the water is beautiful with lots of wildlife in the area. Plenty to do or not to do if you choose.

Jessica and Adam were an absolute pleasure to deal with. Everything was easy and relaxing. Jessica quite responsive and helpful; she went above and beyond. Although we did not partake during this visit, the ocean saltwater hot tubs looked amazing! Outdoor fire pits/apparatus with outdoor seating also a bonus. The site is on the ocean with a lovely private sand beach with provided lounge chairs. There is a wharf-type breakwater on the property, which was lovely.

Absolutely beautiful home and property, we enjoyed every moment of our time here and are planning to stay again! Peaceful, surrounded by water with stunning views, comfy beds, clean and cozy common areas, and the hot tub was a huge hit. Daniel was so responsive to my messages leading up to the trip, and we had zero issues during our stay. I highly recommend booking with Daniel and staying at this spot! We can’t wait to go back!

Dennis’s place was a great retreat while away for work. It’s a beautiful cozy spot right on the river.

I can summarize our experience in two words: absolutely fantastic! Every amenity you could need was there, the cabin was clean and tidy, and our host was excellent to deal with. Brendan was very responsive and helpful whenever we needed him. A great experience and we will definitely be back!

To say we were satisfied is an understatement. We most definitely will be booking again to utilize in the summer season. We rented this time to be closer to the venue holding my sons wedding, and having such a wonderful home and hosts made is so much easier on us ❤️

Loved this spot. If you enjoy a cozy rustic cabin (with electricrity and plumbing) with a view of the water then this is perfect. I plan on staying again if I'm back out this way.

Amazing people. Amazing place. Of all the homes we’ve spent the night at here on Airbnb, this entire experience is now at the top. We’re leaving with fuller hearts. Thank you Christine and Jeremie for sharing your slice of heaven with us.

Very good communication, extremely clean. Beautiful place A++

If you are looking for a place to kick back, relax and make some memories this is the place. The sunrises from the loft were magnificent- and the short walk to enjoy coffee on the lake was well worth it. Indoor and outdoor areas were well thought out, and just added to our overall experience. We will definitely be back :)

Had a great time! Perfect for a little weekend getaway. Lots of activities included to make the most of your stay, had fun kayaking, fishing, and biking. The cabin feels a little out in the open, with no trees and located near the main road, and being quite close to the other cabins. Hosts were great and responsive and made us feel welcomed!

Beautiful get away. The air bnb is in a peaceful spot and the air bnb was beautifully decorated!

This little weekend getaway/writing retreat at Taya's cottage was really all I needed! It's the kind of place that makes you wishes you were living a slow pace life like this every day. The view and the river was just magical! Taya's attention to details made the stay even more worthwhile. For example, she installed small movement sensors night light in the kitchen and in the bathroom, that made moving around easier at night time. The host was also really responsive and kind when I asked for advice about firewood and kayaking. I will most definitely be back 🫶.
