Family-friendly holiday rentals in Porters Lake

We had the pleasure to stay for the month of August. Great location overlooking a lake, just a short walk to a small quiet beach on the ocean. An old railway track converted to biking/walking path close by. Close to groceries and restaurants. Great location for day trips to Peggy’s cove/Halifax boardwalk/many parks and beaches. The home had everything you need. Just bring your swim trunks and spirit of adventure. We highly recommend a stay at this lovely spot.

Had a great stay.

We came for the Hunter Moon and fell in love with the sunsets and walking on the beach. Lots of places to explore in the area.

This was our daughters first vacation out of the province so we were unsure of how it would go as she had just turned 4. We had such a lovely stay at Sarah's cozy lakefront cottage! It was peaceful and quiet — the perfect spot to relax and recharge. The location was great, with easy access to nearby attractions and some beautiful beaches close by as well as some others 1-2 hrs drive away. The host was friendly and made us feel right at home. The beds were really comfortable, which made for a great night’s sleep after days spent exploring. Our daughter was thrilled with all the toys available, and we really enjoyed the selection of board games for some fun family evenings. We’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a calm, family-friendly getaway. We’d love to come back some day - our daughter did not want to come home.

What a beautiful location. The suite had everything we needed and we fell asleep to the sound of the surf. Need to go back and stay longer!

Marvellous start of our 5+ weeks Nova Scotia - Newfoundland tour. Lovely apartment with outstanding view located directly at the beach.

Our family was coming for a wedding- it was a stunning place for us to gather and enjoy - reality- I wish would have been able to stay longer. I highly recommend this place- stunning space and great hosts. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you for everything.

Cute mini home, super close to Clam Harbour Beach. This rental feels like renting from a friend or family member with many thoughtful amenities like - condiments in the fridge, beach towels, coffee station + coffee provided, variety of mosquito repelling devices. Beds were very comfortable with nice linens.

Most of what I'm saying is echoing what other Guests have said - it's all still true for 2024: Morry is great to work with, cottage is clean and well-equipped,  the views here are wonderful, beds are comfy and the layout worked well for us with the two main floor bedrooms on opposite sides.  The kitchen is a good size and the two full bathrooms are like new. There's a great hike trailhead a stone's throw away and, if you haven't already, you will fall in love with Prospect, NS!!

This place was just what we needed for our stay in Halifax. We were within walking distance of local restaurants and a cycle shop where we could rent bikes. The inside was cosy, clean, and really made you feel welcome. Andrea was responsive and a lovely host! Would definitely recommend. :)

We had an incredible trip at Candace's place. The home was stunning and was perfect for our group of 6. If you have the opportunity to book your trip to Halifax here, I would definitely recommend!

If you are looking to stay in a cool, old farmhouse in the area, this is the place. Nadya-Lyse is very responsive and kind.

Barrie is a wonderful host and the location of this home is truly incredible. We had everything we needed, plus our own island! We hope to be back!

JP was very friendly and we enjoyed the animals.

We've stayed at this Airbnb multiple times, and it consistently offers a comfortable and enjoyable experience. The space is always clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped, with a stunning ocean view that never gets old. It's a reliable choice for both short and long stays. Highly recommend!

This is a nice place, very comfortable mattress, with well equipped kitchen, and a big plus is a super firm sand beach and Lake Charlotte boat ramp close by. Had an excellent 3 nights here. We recommend The Diner char grilled burger a few minutes east of Webbers Store (which is currently closed) which gives this 2nd floor apartment and deck considerable privacy.

We had an absolutely incredible experience here. I would recommend this airbnb to everyone! Ample space, fabulous amenities and great host. The kayaks and vast backyard and access to the lake was a game changer. Would definitely come back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at AJ's place. The house was perfectly clean and thoughtfully appointed - the kitchen had absolutely everything we could think of and we felt like we were at home immediately. The bed was luxurious in both size and comfort and had pillows perfectly suited to us. I can't rave enough about the overall comfort of this home and the views that accompanied it were brilliant. I really enjoyed watching the geese and ducks on the lake every morning and loved the privacy of the property as a whole. AJ was thoughtful and prompt in all their communications and super helpful with any queries we had. Highly recommend!

We had a great stay at Sammi’s place! The home was clean, cozy, anduser friendly. The bed was comfortable, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches like fresh towels, coffee, and local recommendations. The location was nice and quiet—close to restaurants and grocery stores. We even had a nice surprise of seeing two deer in the front and back yard. Sammi was very responsive and made check-in and check-out super easy. The only thing to note is that there wasn’t a TV in the living room, which would’ve been nice for relaxing in the evenings. Not a dealbreaker, but worth mentioning. We used our iPad to watch TV as we don't like to watch TV in bed (our preference) so no big deal. Excellent High-speed WiFi. Close to the highway and downtown Halifax. Overall, a wonderful stay. We’d happily come back when we are in Halifax again and recommend it to others!

Paul & Patti made a special occasion that much more memorable. Our trip was made even better because of their recommendations and local knowledge and genuine care. The kinds of folks you root for in life. The views are stunning. Spend time on the deck as well. Oh, and breakfast was an incredible experience that showcased Chef Garrin’s talents and joy of hospitality.

We really enjoyed the view from the deck and the living room . This place is a GEM . Having the beautiful view of the bay and yachts , being so close to the water made our stay that much more enjoyable . The apartment was nicely furnished and well equipped . It was perfect for a short or long stay and we would love to come back again .

Michele's house was lovely! Beautiful decor and spotlessly clean! It's located in a fantastic, quite neighborhood. Michele was wonderful to deal with. She was very responsive and made sure we had a comfortable stay. I would definitely recommend Michele's place!
