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 an incredible stay. We have already started discussing rebooking this every year moving forward now.

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.

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!

This place was just what we needed for our stay in Halifax. We were within walking distance of local restaurants and a cycle shop where we could rent bikes. The inside was cosy, clean, and really made you feel welcome. Andrea was responsive and a lovely host! Would definitely recommend. :)

Outstanding host. Truly blown away by Gerry’s warm welcome to Halifax. Every day he offered assistance and advice, which was much needed and appreciated since we had never been to Nova Scotia before. His friendliness is genuine and heartwarming. And his place is totally fantastic. An unexpected bonus was 100% the best hot water pressure in a shower that I’ve ever experienced in my life. Highly highly recommended.

My wife, friends and I had a great time in Nova Scotia and Candace's location was perfect for us.

PAM &J.P on été extraordinaires. Nous avons été ravis par notre séjour et sommes tombés en amour avec la Nouvelle-Ecosse. Les animaux étaient un extra inattendus. Gustave va beaucoup s’ennuyer de Maple. Petit commentaire QUI N’EST PAS UNE CRITIQUE. Le réfrigérateur n’est pas très grand alors, ne pas faire une trop grosse épicerie à chaque fois. Nous sommes arrivés avec trop de choses et tout ne rentrait pas. Mais encore une fois ce n’est pas grave. Il y une épicerie pas tres loin. Ça se fait très bien. Faut juste pas prévoir trop longtemps d’avance si vous avez une grosse famille comme la mienne. La piscine est extraordinaire!!!!! Près de pleins de belles plages . Nous avons passé un super beau moment en famille!!!

It was great, the location is convenient, very nice view, quiet at night. The place is good for a couple or family with kids, as the bathroom and small bedroom aren’t private. There is a lot of kitchenware.

Really cozy and stylish place, nice amount of light, Peter was very kind, easy going, responsive, and helpful. I would stay here again! I wish this was my apartment hehe

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.

We really enjoyed our stay. The suite was well equipped and clean and in good condition. The location is very central and it really was easy to walk everywhere downtown. The temperature was comfortable and there were extra towels and blankets.

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).

Le logement est exceptionnel, super grand (3 niveaux), extrêmement bien équipé et magnifiquement décoré avec de très beaux meubles et objets. Vous êtes logé chez les propriétaires et la maison est très chaleureuse de ce fait. Il y a une terrasse à l'étage et une seconde bien plus grande au sous sol qui permet de descendre sur la baie. La vue est juste extraordinaire, on voit l'eau, les bateaux entre les arbres, c'est tout simplement génial. La literie est de très bonne qualité. Les hôtes sont très disponibles, très arrangeants et très compréhensifs. C'est l'un si ce n'est le plus beau Airbnb dans lequel j'ai jamais été Merci encore

One of those rare times when a house described as "stunning" really lives up to it. John's house near Halifax is beautiful and serene, all windows and wood and incredible views out to the water in the cove and ocean beyond. Surrounded by trees and a garden path down to the dock, it feels private but not isolated. Great house on the inside also - spotlessly clean, streamlined so there's no clutter but everything you need, simple but quite beautiful also. Comfortable beds, great kitchen and bathrooms and just full of sunlight. Can't imagine a better spot to relax and recharge, and close to lots of good hiking. John is super friendly and responsive, a great host - look forward to coming back.

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.

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!
