Family-friendly vacation rentals in Oak Island

Such a beautiful AirBnB. It was perfect for our family of 6 adults and 1 infant. Spacious and wonderful views. The kitchen was perfect for preparing meals. Lots of outdoor sitting areas, and we enjoyed the hot tub, outdoor fireplace and canoeing. A great location for exploring Lunenburg, Mahone Bay, and several beaches. Melissa was a wonderful host 😊. You won’t regret staying at Three Sheep’s to the Wind.

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.

Michelle's place was exactly what we expected. It even looked larger in real life vs. photos advertised. we loved the enclosed gazebo the hot tub was located in, the large kitchen table with oodles of seating, open floorplan and the small touches that made it feel aesthetically pleasing and cozy. we will be back sometime in the summer!

We had an amazing stay at Beth’s place!! Exceeded expectations, you can tell they put a lot of thought in making sure you have everything you need during your stay.

Super comfortable and would definitely stay here again!

Our second summer stay was just as wonderful as the first. More familiar this time, so the whole family felt right at home. Chris was once again very warm and welcoming in his communications. Look forward to our third stay next year if we can be so fortunate.

This location is amazing. Right on the lake. Lots of things to do: swim, kayak, canoe etc. we brought our two you kids and they had the best time. Sunrise/sets are perfect. Highly recommend to anyone. Our dog also enjoyed the location and the lake! We will be back. Michael was also very responsive and helpful!

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!!

Beautiful house, incredible views from the house and just a short walk to the beach from the house. Lots of games for adults and kids. Very well equipped in terms of plates cutlery etc we did not see any wildlife but we know there were some outdoor nighttime critters because the Easter eggs we hid outdoors for the kids were almost all gone by morning!

PAM & J.P were extraordinary. We were delighted with our stay and fell in love with Nova Scotia. The animals were an unexpected extra. Gustave is going to miss Maple a lot. Small comment WHICH IS NOT A CRITICISM. The refrigerator is not very big, so don't do too much grocery shopping at once. We arrived with too many things and not everything fit. But again, that's okay. There's a grocery store not far away. It's very easy. Just don't plan too far ahead if you have a big family like mine. The pool is amazing!!!!! Close to lots of beautiful beaches. We had a great time with the family!!!

Fantastic hosts. Dream heritage property with total privacy and a heated pool in a park like setting; we booked that property pretty much every year for the last seven years. Rob and Barb are constantly improving the property, there is always something new to discover, whether it's a new appliance, or a brand new landscaped river frontage inviting you to sit and watch river and ocean life whilst sipping a glass of tasty red provided with the welcome basket. We enjoyed eating out at the Lunenburg restaurants, as much as we enjoyed cooking a delicious meal at their place, which is fully equipped, one can easily cook up a gourmet meal. Golden! And we shall return!! Greetings from Port Lorne, NS, Conny and Fred.

Beautiful spot and exceptional hosts. Every little detail you could want has been thought of and addressed - and it was extremely kid friendly. Travelling with a toddler and a 6 year old, they loved the box of legos and the board games, as well as the kid-sized kayak. It was beautiful, peaceful, and private. The bedrooms are as described though the basement can be damp so there is a bit of a musty smell (no fault of the hosts). There is a dehumidifier running constantly. Overall it was a great stay and we really enjoyed it.

What a splendid place to stay. Spectacular sunrises every morning, so relaxing & peaceful. Daun is an exceptional host,lovely lady,very helpful & a pleasure to have a chat with. I would definitely stay again.

We had a great stay at Chris's place--especially loved the deck and view. The apartment was clean and comfortable. Chris was friendly and responsive.

Thank you for a wonderful stay! It was the ideal spot for a peaceful and relaxing visit, right on the bay! Our favourite part of the day was late afternoon, sitting on the deck with a glass of wine and watching the sailboats return. The accommodation had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We appreciated the washing machine and dryer, and the bbq - it really made us feel at home. The only thing I missed was having cable or a radio to catch up on news - but then again, sometimes it is good to disconnect from the world. We highly recommend this vacation spot to anyone looking to visit the South Shores area (Chester / Mahone Bay).

Stay was good. Safe area with lots of pedestrian traffic. Home was clean and uncluttered. TV was complicated to figure out. Description stated tv with standard cable?

A truly magical place. Location is ideal to visit so many different towns, trails and excursions. However, starting the morning off on the deck watching the sunrise and then ending the day cooking on the BBQ. The house is fully equipped with every kitchen gadget needed. 3 good sized bedrooms with comfortable mattresses. There is a wonderful community feeling.

Barry and Maureen’s cottage was a delight. Great communication: Barry checked in to see if there was anything we needed and Maureen was prompt with communication and was explicit about check in and left detailed instructions on operating the heat pump and the TV. The place is a perfect setting: quiet street, large parking space and near to all Mahone Bay has to offer. The cottage is immaculate and very well stocked: they have thought of everything. We stay at Airbnbs often and we put this one at the top of the list. We plan to go back!

Palmer's Cottage is a lovely place to spend a quiet, relaxing holiday, close to nature and the outdoors but also close enough to visit Halifax for an evening out. Lots of activities (beach, bicycle, walking) steps from the front door. The cottage is comfortable with a truly "fully-equipped" kitchen, for those who like to cook. Steve is a great host, responsive to questions, available to help when needed but always respectful of his guest's privacy.

We had an amazing time at the cottage! The view is spectacular and so close to hubbards beach and the Shore Club. Darlene is an absolute sweetheart and so accommodating. The beds are comfy and the cottage has all the amenities you need. Thank you Darlene, we will be back

Great stay at the Atlantic for 9 adults! Beautiful home blending an historic house with modern amenities. 2.5 baths was a blessing on a busy wedding weekend. Highly recommend!
