The Elinor(4.5 Star) 3rd Floor Suite(1 of 3 units)
Myrtle is a wonderful host. She is very willing to help guests and solve various problems. Her Airbnb is wonderful, even more so than in the photos!

Boat house on the sea.
Great spot for rest while traveling on Cabot Trail. Perfect location and idealic setting right in the water. In negative that comes to mind is that we checked in after dark and the entrance was dark bc the overhead door light was burned out. Otherwise, exactly as described.

4 Bedroom Waterfront Home on South Shore
We had the pleasure of staying at Meghan and Marc's Airbnb once again, and it was another fantastic experience. Just like our previous stay, they were excellent at communicating and made sure everything was clear and easy from start to finish. Their place was spotless, exactly as shown in the photos, and incredibly comfortable. After long days of work, it was the perfect retreat to relax and unwind. We truly appreciate the attention to detail and hospitality, and without a doubt, we’ll be back again for another stay! Highly recommend!

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.

Surf House - a beachside paradise
The house was amazing. Very remote and quiet. But only 30 minutes to busier locations with shopping, restaurants, etc. Within 10 minutes, RoseBay Bistro & Market and Dear Emma Pizza (incredible!) provide all you need otherwise. The beach is incredible. Sitting in the chairs at the edge of the beach, over the dunes, is the perfect spot for morning coffee or a happy hour cocktail! The house design is like a piece of art - the many levels and nooks make it a very unique experience. It is well furnished with all sorts of things you might want to enjoy your stay. Very thoughtful. We look forward to a return visit.

The Chalet By The Sea
This was our 4th year staying at this little gem! Don’t hesitate, just book - lovely spot & lovely hosts - you won’t regret it!

Cove-front Getaway
We were in the area visiting family and friends. The cottage was on a beautiful waterfront. The bedrooms were very comfortable and spacious with games to play, netflix etc. We found everything we needed to cook in the kitchen. The house was clean and a beautiful place to stay. Just a ferry ride away to brier island, we visited pond cove (beach), western light has a breathtaking sunset, nothern light has nice walking trails and we had drinks and a delicious meal at Chetwick's !!

Unique Oyster Cove home on the Mira!
Spent Christmas week, location was beautiful n peaceful yet easy enough for family and friends to find. The two living areas made it great for entertaining family. Laura was very approachable and facilitated any needs we had.

Harbour House - Halls Harbour Waterfront Getaway
A Charming Stay in Halls Harbour We had an amazing stay at this charming home built in 1835! The house is beautifully decorated, incredibly clean, and offers a perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort. The beds were very comfortable, and there was plenty of seating for our group to relax and enjoy. Our mom getaway weekend was made even better by the well-equipped space and the fantastic hot tub—such a treat! Everything we needed was provided, making our stay effortless and enjoyable. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a cozy, comfortable, and well-maintained retreat. We would absolutely stay here again!

The Port Maitland Beach house
Gorgeous property. Better than photos convey. Decor is very tasteful, bathroom large and beautiful shower. Everything was done thoughtfully and professionally. Hosts were very responsive and clear. We got some snow during our stay and they were on top of having everything shoveled. Stayed for Christmas while visiting family and couldn’t get over how cozy the place was. I felt like I was staying in the Nova Scotian version of Kate Winslet’s cottage from “the holiday”. Would be gorgeous in the summer too.
Waterfront condo rentals

Ocean Breeze Relaxing Oceanfront
Lovely condo with a fantastic view of the water and Keltic Lodge peninsula! Easy to find and seamless entry. Conveniently located near the ski hill, Cape Smokey. We enjoyed Lili’s modern space with all amenities. Lili was very responsive and friendly, we would definitely stay again. Thank you, Cathy & Turk

Converted Heritage-1 Br Condo Uptown Saint John
Great spot. Beautiful clean apartment. Right uptown which is great for getting quick food or drinks, and the host was very nice and responsive. Would definetly recommend.

Mahone Bay Condo - Coastal Getaway
We loved Jeanne’s condo. It was very comfortable and in a great location. Could walk around the little town of Mahone Bay, or enjoy the view from the balcony.

Condo in Downtown Halifax
Angela’s place was exactly as described and perfect for visiting Halifax. She was always keeping me updated and was very flexible with meeting to pass me the keys and provided final tips for a great stay. The place was meticulously clean and well appointed. The location is more than ideal if you are looking for great shopping and restaurants. I would highly recommended this place. Thank you Angela!

Canada's Rotating House, Suites, & Tours (Condo 3)
Awesome experience to stay at the rotating house! Condo was very clean and felt like right at home! Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

Captain's Quarters - 2 bedroom harbourview condo
Everything was just as it should be. Great views. Emily was prompt and helpful in providing a couple of extra things we requested. Very nice place for a winter get away!

“Ocean’s 18”-Cabot Trail Oceanfront Cottage
Fred was very responsive and helpful. The place was exactly as described, with a nice balcony with a view of the water. It was very comfortable and well equipped. We really appreciated that it was stocked with coffee and tea, and that there was laundry detergent available. The whole apartment was in pristine shape, and Ingonish Beach is a great place to base yourself when visiting Cape Breton Highlands National Park.

Gillies by the Sea Apartment
Catherine’s place is in a spectacular setting with stunning views out to sea. We received a wonderfully warm welcome from Catherine. Do not miss sitting in the sunroom looking out to sea and chilling. The apartment is spotless clean. The bed is comfortable and the bathroom a lovely size. If you are looking to get away from it all, this is a great place to do it. We wish we could have spent more time there We ate at the Red Shoe pub about a 15 minute drive away. Food was decent and live music on the Friday was very enjoyable. You do need a car to stay here but if you’re travelling around Cape Breton, you will already know that Catherine & Francis took the time to give us some great recommendations and places to stop around the Cabot Trail. Catherine also baked us some extremely good cake that was fantastic with our morning coffee. I’d highly recommended staying here
