Rosie's Oceanfront Retreat
Very nice place to stay. The view from the back yard is priceless and is very relaxing .She has everything there to make for a nice evening outside ,patio lights, firepit ,lite up dock and picnic table right on the water. Inside is very clean and cozy and is not lacking for anything that you might need .This is not a place that you want to make any excessive noise as there is another residence right above you.

A Beautiful LakeView Home for your stay
We had a wonderful stay at Jim and Heather's place. Their home was exactly as advertised and so much more. They are very kind and considerate hosts who provided us with excellent advice on where to eat and go in the area. Looking forward to visiting their home during my next stay in Halifax.

Cozy Lakefront Suite outside Halifax
Thank you so much for sharing your home with us! Everything was just wonderful - very comfy bed, delicious coffee, beautiful place and surroundings, even some sunshine showed up! We also really appreciated the bug spray, since we didn’t think of bringing any. We would definitely see if you have space, if we make it back your way!

Lakefront 3 Bdrm Apartment
Great location for our stay. Apartment was clean and spacious with most comfortable beds. Jin was easy to contact and responded to requests quickly. The lake was a bonus with dock for swimming and plenty of outside seating. We would definitely recommend for an enjoyable stay in Dartmouth!

Peggy's Cove Lighthouse View Apt
The place is cozy, wonderful, clean. Jordan was a great host. A lot of things to do around and it allow you to see Peggy's Cove at every hour. We loved our stay there. Great place, great host. Recommand it 🥇

Waterfront Escape
Victoria has created such a cozy and welcoming space with an absolutely gorgeous view. Everything is spotless and pristine, the bed was super comfortable, and she has provided all you need for a home away from home. We enjoyed meeting her very sociable chickens and were able to truly relax in between our runs into Halifax for fabulous food, and a quick trip to Peggy’s Cove. Although our stay was brief, we had a simply marvelous time. Thank you so much, Victoria!

Lakefront Paradise on Porters Lake! Unit 2
Amazing amazing stay. The hosts are fabulous. They go above and beyond. The place is super clean and has everything a family with young kids would ever need. It was such a breath of fresh air, we felt right at home. Gillian’s daughter also offers babysitting and she is amazing with the kiddos. Best Airbnb we stayed in. THANK YOU!

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.

Secret Beach House
The secret beach house was exactly as described and very comfortable. It is surrounded by beautiful beach and peaceful environment. The place has well stocked amenities in the bathroom and kitchen. Courtenay is a very gracious host and was able to accommodate our special request. She was very kind to provide the option of early check and late check out. This airbnb has high quality amenities and furnishings throughout. Courtenay is very friendly and responsive. Watching the ducks run through the yard was a pleasure to watch. They are adorable. Would recommend the place to anyone looking for an amazing guest experience.

*Rare* Luxury Lakefront: Mins from Downtown Bliss
Perfect location! We were in Halifax for a family wedding, and were able to get around so easily from here. Any free time was spent gazing out at the lake.. a very peaceful and serene retreat

The Creation Lounge Retreat - A Unique Gem!
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.

Gorgeous Oceanfront Estate in Peggy’s Cove
We were celebrating a 50th birthday with a spa day nearby. The 4 bedrooms was a dream! The house had all we needed and then some. The host was amazing from beginning to end. Responsive. Proactive. Friendly. We spent 2 stormy nights and we're cozy the whole time. Thanks for the great weekend.

OatHillLake 3-BR
We had a wonderful stay at Ashley’s. Everything we needed and more. Beautiful home! Very close to amenities as well. Ashley was very kind and helpful. We will definately stay there again - it would be our first choice for Dartmouth. Thank you

Private Lakefront Escape|Swim, Sip Wine & Stargaze
Very cozy place! It was right by the water with a beautiful view. Very convenient as well. We were about a 30 minutes drive from Downtown Halifax. Ashley was very responsive and helpful. Beautiful place and amazing host! I'd stay there again. :)

Beautiful new 6 bedroom lakehouse close to Halifax
Our large family enjoyed a 5 night stay at the house and it is easily one of the nicest in our memory of AirBnB homes. There was lots of space for our group and the little kids loved exploring outside. We hosted some extra family one evening for dinner and found everything needed in the well appointed kitchen. The beds were very comfortable too! We loved everything about this home. It's little out of the city but that was ok for us. A memorable trip for us!
