Holiday rentals with lake access in Halifax Harbour

We of 4 women going on a trip to NFLD and Evens home was our 2nd stop. WOW, what at beautiful place to stay. Both back and front can be seen with water and beautiful trees. This home was very clean and cozy. Peggy’s Cove is 10 minutes away and not far to see the Bluenose, with to see both. Would highly recommend this home.

Our family had a lovely gathering at the Porter Lake Cottage. There was lots of room for meal preparation and eating. The house had lots of very useful amenities including kitchen wares, paddle boats, a BBQ and even games and puzzles. The deck was a great place to sit outside and the living room was also quite comfortable. The washing machine and dryer were also very good. We loved the access to the waterfront. The morning sun made this a beautiful place to sit with a cup of tea in the mornings. The only thing that would have made this better would have been a kayak or two. Porters Lake is very large and would be an interesting place to paddle.

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

Kelly & Doris were so accommodating, and helpful. We had the absolute best time during our stay. The property is stunning, and very well kept. Our children loved having the playground across the pond to play at. Waking up there every morning was so peaceful. We will cherish the memories we made at this private little oasis.

I do not have a lot of experience with Airbnb so I did know what to expect. This home and my interactions with the owner Deanna, exceeded my expectations. We needed a large place for our family as we where gathering for a sad event. We all fell in love with the house and Hubbards, any questions where responded with promptly. Deanna was always interested in helping and making our stay a positive one. I could not ask for a more gracious host and would love to stay here again. You can rent this home with complete confidence. If Airbnb ever needs an ambassador, Deanna could be it.

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

Our group of four had a fantastic experience staying at Quinpool. From the moment we booked, the host was incredibly proactive and kind, making sure every detail was taken care of in advance. Communication was clear and timely, which made our entire trip smooth and completely stress-free. The property itself was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described—ideal for a relaxing stay. We truly appreciated the thoughtful touches and the warm hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a seamless and welcoming Airbnb experience!

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.

This was the perfect last place for our Canada holiday. Beautiful views, stunning woodland walks just outside, and a lovely space to rest. Easy drive to Halifax and the airport. The accommodation itself was superbly presented, with comfortable beds, great kitchen and laundry facilities. Everything you could want when traveling by car.

Our family had a wonderful stay, the place is spacious, welcoming and very clean! Great location for our busy and hockey loving family, from the rink to the dock (walking distance), we played games and adverntured outside, we had a wonderful stay and will absolutely be booking again. Only great things to say about our weekend away, can't wait to get back and enjoy the property again!

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!

Great place

Beautiful basement suite with full kitchen, bathroom with toiletries, washer and dryer and a lounge room with streaming services and cable. Lovely setup with separate entrance for privacy, easy to find and easy instructions to get in. Snacks, juice and bottled water also provided. Would recommend. Only thing that would’ve been nice to have on hand would be a fan for the bedroom and a hair dryer, otherwise everything was great.

This was a lovely place to have a relaxing and peaceful getaway! The house was spotless, one of the cleanest places I've stayed at! The view of the lake was beautiful and it was lovely to have the option to use the kayaks and paddle boards! The chickens were great to watch and you couldn't hear them inside the property at all! I would recommend Victoria's Air bnb to anyone in the area! I look forward to staying here again in the future!

The host was amazing. friendly helpful and supportive. The airbnb itself is absolutely stunning. Great view of the lake, local enough tot everything in Halifax, clean spotless and brand new. I have been at a few Airbnbs where they give you limited stock and you have to run out and grab more yourself, not here, we ran out of nothing and everything was perfect. My mother in law uses a walker and she could just zip around with all the space. HIGHLY Recommend, we had family swing by and they all wanted to know the host so they could share it with others.

This was the most amazing place. We spent a week here and Everything you needed or wanted was right in this place. The surroundings were peaceful, very inviting. Gillian checked in with us halfway through our stay to see if we needed anything. The beds were very comfy. The firepit is beautiful there was a fully stacked wood pile to use for the fire. There were lots of chairs all around to sit outside or out by the the dock. We would stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you Gillian and Scott for your hospitality.

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.

the cottage was perfect. clean and comfortable. the area and views were beautiful. the hot tub was excellent. The hosts were superb. They were very proactive, checking to see if we arrived and if we needed anything. the instructions for everything were in a binder and very clear and easy to understand. we are already talking about returning next year.

My best friend and I stayed here with our kids and had a wonderful time! The view is amazing and we all enjoyed the wood fired hot tub very much. Plenty of bathrooms and space to hang out especially with two young kids. We would definitely book in again!

We had a great stay, perfect for a weekend getaway with friends. Check-in was easy and all the info we needed was provided, the actual cabin had a nice covered in deck with chairs and a BBQ, inside there was lots of cups, plates and cookware provided; even some board games on top of the fridge worth checking out, along with kids books & adult books too, lots of extra blankets and a beautiful propane fireplace (and heat pump! + eclectic heat) so no worries of being cold haha. There's a nice park across the street from the Airbnb that'd be perfect for a summer picnic, plus a campfire spot with chairs next to the Airbnb, overall a nice spot and well kept.

We had an excellent stay! Loved the fire pit, coffee in the morning on the hammocks and the hot tub in the evening was fantastic.

The house , with its walls of widows and multiple storage options is larger than the footprint implies All amenities and furniture are top grade. There is nothing about the house, the view or the location that warrants even a small complaint. Emma and Paul are the very definition of a five star hosting rating.

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.

Benjamin is a fantastic host - proactive, very helpful, accommodating and a pleasure to talk to. The house was absolutely perfect. My friends and I had an amazing time for our weekend getaway! It was simply the best spot for a fun, activity filled weekend. We loved the spacious and nicely decorated interiors, amazing patio where we grilled, fantastic hot tub, the secluded and private small beach, the Canoe and paddle boards, and the yard where we played volleyball. Our only regret is that we only booked for one night. We will definitely be coming back!
