Water Front #1 Cocagne by the water (Sheidiac)
Great location, fantastic spot for a couple of families

The Church House - a unique cottage experience
Wonderful stay for large groups. Warm and welcoming with great hosts. Highly recommended!

Lily Lakehouse - Relax & Breathe
We had the perfect stay at Lily on the Lake. We rented for a week to transition from moving out of province. Everyone felt right at home and the house is absolutely gorgeous. Every little detail well thought out. Everything you could ever need was available. I started each morning with a plunge in the lake which was breathtaking and so quiet. They had a pack and play and so many fun toys for my daughter- she loved it. Beds were comfy and cozy with tons of linens, pillows and blankets available. Kitchen was well stocked with essentials. Dawn was so lovely to communicate with before and during our stay. Cannot recommend enough- we plan on having friends stay here when they come to visit just so we can go for another peaceful dip in the lake or cozy cuddle on the couch.

Cocagne at the water's edge # 3 (Shediac)
Had a wonderful two weeks at this location. Spent many hours in the loft enjoying the beautiful view!

Secluded 2 Bedroom Home -Minutes from Bay of Fundy
This place was a great home base for exploring the Bay of Fundy and going into town. The tenants downstairs were very friendly. There were many opportunities to see turkeys and deer too right in the back yard. Great stay.

Shacks Rentals - Open year round (Cottage #2 of 3)
Great place to stay in St. Peter’s bay. Clean, accommodating and close to beaches and trails :)

Ballast Lodge - Guest House
Was a fabulous locationa and accommodations. Pictures don't do it justice. Is much better in person. Lots of room both inside and out. Everything is perfect and right there for you. A great place for some quiet and peace, however also close enough to town. Look forward to using again.

3 bedroom all season beach house with hot tub
Beautiful home, relaxed beach vibe with all the necessities and then some. Kenyon and Vanessa have thought of everything you could possibly need or want. Comfortable beds, great linens, spotlessly clean. Watched a seal on the beach in front of the house. Lovely place.

Beautiful vacation home with waterview.
Amazing space, great host, highly recommend to groups.

Hilltop Manor, Waterview 6 Bedroom Vacation Home
My women's ball team stayed there recently. I unfortunately couldn't join last minute. The ladies couldn't say enough about how great this stay was and we will hopefully be reaching out next season to rent again. Thank you to our host for quickly responding when I had questions and for being a friendly person to deal with! Would 💯 recommend!

The Scottage
This cottage is a gem, tucked away on a very peaceful lake in Guysborough County. The cottage is modern, bright and comfortable. The place is full of personal touches and there were a lot of supplies on hand, for example I forgot my toothbrush but there was a spare new one in a package in the bathroom closet. The hot tub was delightful and helped us relax and enjoy the scenery. The small town of Guysborough is not far away with a grocery store and decent cafe. Overall we had a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

PEI Dreamhouse | Sleeps 15, Beach + Sunset Views
We loved staying at Paradise Found. We were 4 couples who travelled to PEI for a wedding. The house was absolutely gorgeous, beds and linen comfortable, everything was well appointed. Even though it rained most of the weekend, we walked the beach, visited Souri and Montague, prepared food in a glorious kitchen and enjoyed ourselves.

Beach Point Retreat
We had such a great week at the cottage. It was just what we needed, the cottage is absolutely beautiful and spacious, extremely quiet. Only a 30 minute drive to Panmure Beach, which was stunning. The beach at the cabin was great as well. Bring bug spray as the mosquitoes get quite bad if it rains!

Baddeck lake view home- near Bell Bay Golf Club
This place was great! A bit of a walk from the main area of Baddeck. Nice views and very clean. Great layout with lots of space.

Spacious 4BR Family Beach house in Queensland N.S.
The place was great for our families and hard to beat the location. Lots of games/toys for the kids (and adults), lots of room and quiet from floor to floor.

Delightful unit over looking Gagetown Marina.
The unit that we rented was absolutely perfect for what we needed. There was a nice outdoor space where we could sit and have coffee in the morning and look at the beautiful sunrise on the river. The unit was also very clean. It was a very quick walk to a great restaurant, a bar and a convenience store. It was also a treat to have an ice cream stand right beside the unit.

3 bedroom beach cottage at L'aboiteau beach.
We really enjoyed our stay and my dog loved it too! The property was clean, cozy, and very pet-friendly, with plenty of space for our dog to relax. The location was great—perfect for walks nearby and close to the beach. Always quick to respond for my inquiries. Thank you Lyne :) Abby and Bailey

Poppy's Beach House
Suzanne was a lifesaver for my wife and I! She allowed us to host our elopement wedding ceremony on the property for 6 people with less than a week of notice after we had to suddenly find a new venue. The home is comfortable and cozy, and also very spacious thanks to the high vaulted ceiling and open-concept layout. There were some questions we needed answered (forgetfulness due to wedding jitters!) and Suzanne always had a clear response for us. The yard is far more private and peaceful than I imagined, and it's perfectly set up for hosting outdoor dinner parties or similar gatherings. The whole property is protected and surrounded by trees and the surrounding community is very quiet. For anyone looking for a truly private getaway within walking distance of the water, I highly recommend this property, as well as its very helpful host, Suzanne.

"Wee Beastie House" spectacular 14 guest retreat
The Wee Beastie was a home away from home for our group of seniors from ON, PEI, NS, Maryland and Maine. Comfortable beds, lovely bed linens and towels, a kitchen and pantry stocked with all the tableware, pots, pans, and gadgets that the cooks in our group needed. We gathered around the big dining room table and loved the spacious porch. The location is fantastic - we didn't have enough time to do the full Cabot Trail, so took Barb's advice and took the trail up to Pleasant Bay, had a lovely lunch at the Rusty Anchor, and headed back to the Wee Beastie. We also enjoyed The Red Shoe in Mabou for a delicious meal and some great music. And the Celtic Music Interpretive Centre in Judique is just a 45 minute drive away - we spent an hour or two there and enjoyed it very much. Our group faced a couple of challenges, family and health, as our plans were being made and Barb was very patient as we worked through these challenges and very helpful every step of the way.

Cavendish/15Mins/New 3 Queen Vaca Home
