Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Porters Lake

We had a great stay for our one night in Halifax. The place was very clean, spacious, and easily accommodated all 7 of us. It felt comfortable and welcoming, and everything was just as described. Would definitely recommend for groups looking for a convenient and cozy place to stay.

This house in Halifax is a true gem! It’s very spacious, dog-friendly, and has a lovely backyard where we spotted and heard so many beautiful birds, including a blue jay. The home is super comfortable and located close to tons of great restaurants, breweries, and attractions. One highlight: Sweet and Sassy, an amazing breakfast spot just a 5-minute walk away, absolutely fabulous!

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.

Another great stay. The kitchen has all the amenities you would need. The place is clean and welcoming with comfortable beds, lovely big bathrooms. But the best part of the stay are the evenings out on the deck watching the ever changing views across the Minas basin over to Cape Blomidon where the setting sun provides spectacular sunsets every evening and if you’re lucky you’ll catch sight of the bald eagles that live nearby

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. :)

This house is absolutely magical! The interior is very tasteful with all the exquisite wood, wainscoting, stained glass, wonderfully huge windows, beauteous kitchen containing everything we needed for cooking during our stay, great deck for enjoying our dinner with Benjamin Bridge bubbly, and very comfortable bedroom in the loft. Marvellous reno! We would have loved to stay longer than the one night, but had to catch a flight. Next time will be longer! Les and Kathy Vancouver BC

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 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mary's place. It had everything we needed, including a nice big kitchen with a lovely view; it felt like I was cooking in a treehouse :-) Mary was very easy to communicate with. We would be happy to stay here again.

Hey this place was great,very beautiful place and the neighbours were great and very friendly and didn’t mind the kids being there at all actually talk to them and let them Pat their dog. I will be coming back when I stay in Halifax,if it’s available.

Ursula’s place was wonderful and perfect for our visit. It is an easy walk to the ferry in a great, walkable neighborhood close to great food and bars. The place was clean, the kitchen well stocked and the bed was really comfortable. Ursula is lovely, responded quickly and was helpful. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

This place was as advertised. Perfect for our trip and central to downtown. My friends and I enjoyed our stay very much!! Highly recommend. Thanks for everything!!

It was a wonderful stay, and I both love the central location and the beautiful amenities at Tiffany’s place. It has a very cozy feeling. Downtown Halifax is right near by, and the wonderful Fisherman’s Cove in Dartmouth is near by too with only 30 min bus ride! Will definitely come back here next time we are in Halifax!

Absolutely gorgeous pristine property with a beautiful fire pit and seating area. Great little walking trail that surrounds the property and follows along a brook. The hosts had every light clearly labeled in the house for which was which this was great when your unfamiliar with the spot. The hosts had clear instructions posted on the door how to access the walking trail, how to start the BBQ, how to start the firepit. Although not beach weather during my stay the airbnb was equipped with beach chairs a cooler and beach toys and boogie boards for guest use and also was all Clearly labeled stating so. Bathroom had extra "if you forget" toiletries. Small coffee area fully stocked with small snacks and espresso machine with full stock of pods. Another great feature was the bedroom had a small rechargeable fan you could use as hand held or lay on your pillow if your a fan person I loved this. Definetly recommend this airbnb and the hosts 5*

Jay is a great host! Incredibly responsive and the place is beautiful. Great area of town to be in as a traveller who's never been to halifax!

Another GREAT stay at this 'sweet' suite. This space is top-notch. Suite is more like an apartment with all amenities, [e.g. dishwasher, full-size washer &dryer, stove/oven; microwave and full-size refrigerator. Residential neighbourhood is very quiet. Hosts go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. Thanks again and hope to see you soon.

Perfect host. Quiet neighborhood. Spotless. Great lighting. Host left us milk, cream, tea, and coffee as well as condiments, soda and candy. Clearly they love doing this and are setting the standard. We will be back.

Elissa was a great host and made me feel welcome immediately. The place is beautifully done and a nice peaceful ambiance to spend a night. Wrinkles also gives Elissa a five star rating. He was welcomed with bowls for food and water and offered a coZy bed to sleep in!

Exactly as described. Very comfortable and close to everything. Quick walk to the water, lots of restaurants close by. Would highly recommend.

My husband and I stayed at Angela’s place for a mini honeymoon and it was absolutely beautiful, her place was very clean and spacious for two people. Her place is within walking distance to anywhere you needed to go and wanted to see, a lot of restaurants and within short/cheap uber rides to further places such as shopping centres etc.. Angela was extremely helpful with recommendations and quick to respond to any of our questions. She is super friendly she made us feel right at home. Will definitely be back and 100% recommend her place to anyone visiting the city.

Gabr was the kindest and most helpful host I have ever met. He showed me around the apartment, even drove me to a store and explained how I would walk places. He was warm and friendly when I locked myself out without my code. the area is lovely, quiet and safe for walking even late at night. the apartment is lovely and the bed very comfortable.

Very nice and clean condo! The location was perfect — close to all the places we wanted to visit. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend! :)

The Penthouse was the most comfortable place to relax and enjoy the view, have a coffee and visit. The beds were very comfortable after a day of travelling and walking about downtown Halifax. We found that it was very close to great restaurants and harbour sites. Highly recommend this modern penthouse.

Absolutely lovely stay. Secure ,spacious and beautiful views. Easy to walk to waterfront . Nice to have parking included , we did have a truck and required a little maneuvering to get in and out but all worked out. Highly recommend

Great location for the downtown area although they are redeveloping the road right now to make it even better!
