House holiday rentals in Atlantic Canada

Me and my friends loved this BNB!! The hot tub was amazing and the pool was an awesome addition. Instructions were clear and even called to walk me through everything. Plenty of places to sleep and loads of places to go!

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.

Cozy, spacious home for our family weekend, in the center of town. Madelaine and her crew run a well organized ship and they are very responsive. They made sure to ask if everything was running well and to follow through. Unfortunately the swimming pool was out of order for an unforeseen repair during our stay but Madelaine made sure to provide us with a discount due to this inconvenience. Would highly recommend.

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.

We loved this location. Central to almost everything in PE! Close to great restaurants and attractions. Our unit was private, clean, comfortable and well equipped. Jennifer left us a welcome snack!! We were able to source some local seafood and cook several delicious dinners in the well equipped kitchen. The hot tub was an added bonus after a day of sightseeing. We will definitely stay at this location on our next trip to the island.

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.

It was a place like more than a home. Feeling of residing in a resort. We liked very much. In future when ever we plan to visit this side we will see that we come and relax in the place

Priyanka was fantastic. Traveling to the Cape Breton Highlands in the middle of February can have its challenges. The weather did not want to cooperate but Priyanka and her caretakers sure did. There was a power outage prior to our arrival so we were expecting it to be cold and dark. To our surprise the house was bright and warm as they had a generator up and running allowing us to fully enjoy our first evening. The caretaker of the property continually checked on us, kept the driveway cleared and when the weather cleared, made sure we had access to all of the outdoor amenities. We were able to walk the never ending beach and were left speechless at the incredible views. There are very few places on earth that can offer the feeling of being on that beach and looking into the mountains and out to sea in the heart of winter. I hope we get the opportunity to return!! To say Priyanka and her staff go above and beyond would be an understatement! Thank you for a spectacular weekend!

Really the perfect house for the holidays. Great reception and lots of small details. The house is in a dream location, lovingly furnished and perfectly equipped. There's really nothing missing here. Super nice host with great tips and very good accessibility. If we come back to Nova Scotia, we will definitely book the Secret Beach House again. Dear Courtenay, thank you so much for everything. It was a pleasure meeting you.

Great stay, beautiful cottage. Quick walk to the beach and Julie was super helpful

If you want the back woods and privacy then this is the place for you!!!! It's Big - It's wood! It's magical! 9 of us on a trip to honor our grandmother's and spread our ashes and bond and it was the absolutely best place. Drinks, hot tub, walks, scavenging the beach for cool finds. Just a heads up...it's open concept so at night if you are a light sleeper bring some ear plugs or a night mask with speakers to play white noise. Worth the trip!!!

Christine’s place is gorgeous and a must see. If you like designer accommodations, this takes the cake! The location is gorgeous and has a lovely view! Christine was also amazing and extra accommodating with us given som trip interruptions. We very much appreciated it!

This place took my breath away as soon as we pulled into the driveway. We fell asleep to the sounds of the waterfall outside. We watched from inside the cozy house as the Bay of Fundy overtook the beach below us during a downpour. We made pizza at midnight with ingredients we found at the Wolfville Farmer’s Market. It felt so peaceful and remote, but was still a 15min drive to great restaurants. There’s a Nordic spa literally a 5min drive down the road. Our hosts left instructions and recommendations for everything. We are so grateful to Melissa and Charles for sharing their home with us.

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! 🤍

Wow. I’ve stayed in loads of Airbnbs, and this is by far the best. It’s absolutely stunning, and the attention to detail is spectacular. Vicky has created a gorgeous, comfortable space that truly highlights the natural beauty of Porters Lake. This is such a special place, and I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to stay here.

We absolutely loved our stay! The space was everything we were hoping for—peaceful, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable. The views were absolutely stunning, and the sound of the waves made it feel like a true escape from the everyday. Everything inside was clean, inviting, and well thought out. John was a fantastic host—friendly, easy to communicate with, and full of helpful recommendations for local spots to explore and great places to eat. We left feeling completely refreshed and already dreaming of our next visit. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a relaxing and scenic getaway!

Thank you so much for hosting us. We had an amazing time and really appreciated your warm hospitality. This is such a beautiful place with a breathtaking view—it was truly unforgettable.

Beautiful and relaxing location staying in a contemporary home which blends seamlessly with the setting. The rocky beach is down a staircase and we loved strolling and soaking in the sea air. The kitchen is very well equipped and we appreciated all the extras such as olive oil and spices. Kate is a very accommodating host and our short stay was really superb.

Serenity is what we experienced at this beautiful modern Airbnb . All the little touches of decor and luxury made this experience unforgettable . We enjoyed all the amenities and really enjoyed hearing the birds in the trees behind the house in the middle of the city !! It felt like an Oasis in the city :) The beds were so comfortable and the kitchen well equipped ! Beautiful place to stay in a romantic getaway ! Highly recommend .

We hated to leave this little piece of paradise. The location was picture perfect. The beds laden with quilts - super comfortable. We could picture a happy family growing up here. Cannot say enough great things about this home and Sheldon as host, and the homemade bread and jam left by Gay. Yum.

Our trip to Nova Scotia was a special celebration for our daughter. We chose the Den of Zen for a number of reasons, all of which exceeded our expectations: beautiful setting on a lake; clean and modern interior; an elixir of natural light from a wall of windows; use of great amenities such as a sauna, hot tub, and grill; close to Halifax/airport and easy access to routes for day trips; and comfortable beds. What was remarkable was the incredible hospitality of our hostess, Shelley, who made the trip THE best by offering attraction suggestions and keeping in touch to answer our questions. She was so attentive. We highly recommend a stay at the Den of Zen!

Beautifully and thoughtfully appointed, Puffin's Perch is comfortable and welcoming. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area.

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

This house was amazing—hosts really have thought of everything when it comes to guest experience! Kayaking out to the tiny islands in the bay a couple times allowed us to see horseshoe crabs and bald eagles up close. The fire pit was great and the “s’mores station” with supplies in the kitchen upon arrival was so cute and thoughtful. Our three kids loved this place and didn’t want to leave at the end of the week. Our boys especially loved the lower level game room with ping-pong, arcade games, and pop-a-shot. The kids also loved reading on the sofa in the upstairs loft overlooking the kitchen. The kitchen is well stocked and we cooked dinner there a couple times during the week. The hosts gave great local recommendations as well—the craft beer at Fogtown Brewing in Ellsworth (less than 15-min. drive) is excellent, and it is very kid-friendly with a large outdoor eating area and wood-fired pizza. We’d love to return to this house! Mosquitoes are fierce so bring bug repellent.
