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
Lovely spot… wish we had a longer stay! Thanks for your kind greeting and personal touches like pastries 😊. Appreciated the nature walk recommendation and the morning coffee enjoyed on those beautiful Adirondacks at the shore! Perfect.

Lakefront 1 Bdrm Apartment
We needed space that was convenient to our relatives and this fit the bill exactly. I'm sure it would be even nicer in the spring/summer/fall with the lake views. We didn't really use any of the facilities except the bedroom/bathroom which were excellent . Good parking, good location.

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!

Waterfront Escape
Thank you for being such lovely hosts! We immediately felt right at home. The surroundings are beautiful, peaceful and quiet. It was a wonderful place to wake up to the snow. Thoughtful amenities, lots of space, comfortable places to eat, drink, read and watch Christmas movies. We didn't want to leave. So much generosity was extended to us due to the storm, and I look forward to returning! We very much were well taken care of.

Lakefront Paradise Unit 1! No cleaning fee
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.

Lakefront Paradise Unit 2! No cleaning fee
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!

Downtown, spacious and close to everything
We enjoyed our stay very much. It was clean and comfortable and the location was very convenient for getting around the city.

Serene modern Lakehouse on Golf Course
This place was perfect for our stay! We had a young adult retreat with 12 people and there was enough room for everyone to spread out! Though it was the middle of winter, we had a great walk on the lake and onto the golf course trail. Well equipped kitchen and super clean linens.

Getaway to a Quiet Entire Home in Herring Cove, NS
Very quiet and peaceful space, beautiful surroundings! The fenced in yard was amazing for my pup to have a run around in. Elias was great with communication and very helpful and flexible. Hope to be back to enjoy this lovely place again!

Dreamy Lakefront View Retreat House on Melissa Ave
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. :)

Dog Friendly 3 Bedroom Lake House Fenced-In Yard
What a beautiful place. Close enough to the city but so peaceful by the water. Check in was easy, place was clean. I couldn’t be more happy with our stay. Highly recommended!!

Oceanfront Escape w/ Hot Tub, 30 Mins from Halifax
I visited during the winter, and the place was gorgeous! My boyfriend and I stayed for the whole week while our friends joined us for a night. Lots of space, everywhere was comfortable. The hot tub was super nice too, didn't hold heat super well but it was -11⁰C regularly at night when we would use it, so that's understandable. Greg was very responsive and easy to contact. Answered our questions quickly. Overall, I would stay here again.

Fire&Stone Oceanfront Retreat
This is such a lovely home. It is set up beautifully while remaining fully practical -- we didn't find ourselves lacking anything as we cooked meals, played games, and rested. Katrina was incredibly responsive both at the time of booking and during our stay. I would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Saltwater Hideaway *Wedding*Events*Content*Retreat
Highly recommend this place! The photos don’t do it justice how beautiful the property is. Perfect place to relax and getaway with some friends

Entire Home , Ketch Harbour
Alex and his house are amazing. I would give Alex 10 Stars out of 5 if I could. He was very accommodating and very responsive to us before, and during our stay. The house is well equipped throughout, including the kitchen to do everything you need. The view is out of this world and is like something from a movie. The rooms are spacious, the living areas are perfect to relax and look at the Atlantic Ocean whilst ships cruise past. Access to the beach was easy and the little peninsula has a fireplace that just completes the whole package. It is private and just what we needed. I highly recommend Alex and his spectacular house for anyone and everyone!
