Westboro BeachHouse - Outdoor Jacuzzi, Netflix
We’ve now stayed twice at Brenda’s house. It’s perfect for our family: great location, nice kid’s bedroom, well stocked kitchen, lots of space to relax, and now has a jacuzzi! Westboro beach is a short walk, and there’s a small park nearby for the kids. Brenda is a very thoughtful host, and the house was spotless when we arrived. We definitely plan to be back.

Luxury 10 Bedroom Mansion w/HotTub, Pool Table&Gym
The place was as described with tons of space indoors and outside. The beds were comfortable and the house was spotless. It was a relaxing night with no interruptions. Ahmad was quick to respond with my questions and the instructions for access were straight forward. I would definitely recommend this airbnb! Thank you, Ahmad!

Victoria ! 1890's Victorian Downtown Ottawa .
We stayed here for a few days. Just a family of 3, so we had loads of space. Check-in was easy and the place was as described on the listing. We loved the location because it was easy to walk into downtown Ottawa or grab a short Uber ride there. Near downtown but far enough so it was much more of a residential neighborhood. Close to the University which is great if you have kids there or wanting to tour campus. Could see families out for walks and students on the way to the University. The living room and dining area were perfect for relaxing at the end of the day. Very pleased. Would definitely stay again!

One of a KIND| Private Home•Free Parking•Laundry
It was comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet. Close to stores and restaurant. Walmart close by.. The beds were comfortable and handy to have washer dryer on site. It served our purpose and would recommend a stay here. There’s a nice big backyard for lounging when the weather is nice n warm. We didn’t use the backyard.

Modern Family Home: Downtown 19 min. Airport 7 min
I love the smart lock new technology & home heater system. The Home is beautiful and bright, all rooms dark enough to sleep longer with black out shaders (curtains). I hope to stay longer next time soon!

Entire 9 person house with Exercise equipment
Worth every penny. Landlord is very nice and respectful.

Carleton Place Studio Apartment
Hi, Ainsley. Thank you for the early check in. We found the bed very relaxing and the amenities excellent. Good experience.

Lovely 2BDRM Apartment Ideal Location Free Parking
Maya’s place was perfect for our trip! Clean, well decorated, comfortable beds, efficient space, had everything we needed, and a perfect location! We really enjoyed our time there. We ended up spending more time at the apartment then we anticipated due to the weather not being optimal for walking about Ottawa, and we felt cozy and happy at Maya’s place!

Lovely 1 bedroom downtown Arnprior free parking. B
Used this apartment when I ran my daughter to Ottawa from Waterloo. Long day driving to end in a cute apartment. It was clean and inviting with very comfortable beds. Wish we could have stayed longer. I definitely recommend this listing if you are in the Arnprior area. One thing, there are at least 20 stairs to climb to get up to the apartment.

Your guide to Ottawa
All About Ottawa
Sitting on the banks of the scenic Ottawa River in southern Ontario, Canada’s capital city boasts beautiful parks and waterways, a mix of traditional and modern architecture, and world-class museums. At Ottawa’s heart is the magnificent Parliament Hill, featuring Gothic Revival buildings that are home to Canada’s government, and the iconic 300-foot Peace Tower, which you can climb for spectacular views of the city. The expansive lawns on the hill play host to many national celebrations and shows throughout the year.
Winding through the center of Ottawa is the 125-mile Rideau Canal — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — connecting the Ottawa River to Lake Ontario. The waterway is popular for boating in the warmer months, and you can cycle or stroll the paths along its banks. A five-mile stretch freezes over in winter and becomes the world’s largest naturally frozen ice-skating rink. Ottawa is also home to the National Gallery of Canada, where you’ll find the country’s biggest collection of Indigenous art. Other highlights include the Canadian Children’s Museum, the Canadian Museum of History, and the Canada Science and Technology Museum.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Ottawa
The most pleasant time to stay in a vacation rental in Ottawa is between March and May, when the city bursts into color and the days are mostly mild. The Canadian Tulip Festival in May sees millions of flowers blooming all over the city. June through August is the hottest period in Ottawa. And in late June, one of Ottawa’s largest music festivals attracts local and international jazz musicians for 10 days of concerts on outdoor stages around town.
Temperatures drop in autumn, and rain is likely, but the changing colors in the leafy city parks are spectacular. In winter, Ottawa is cold and snowy, with temperatures often dropping well below zero. Still, you can bring warm layers and enjoy the popular Winterlude in February, one of the biggest winter festivals in the world, with live music, ice skating shows, an artisan market, and an international ice carving contest.
Top things to do in Ottawa
ByWard Market
Explore the city’s biggest market, which is full of life day and night. It features Canada’s oldest farmers’ market with stalls selling fresh produce, cheeses, and bread. You’ll find arts and crafts stalls, boutiques, galleries, and restaurants here too. You can also taste a favorite local treat, a deep-fried pastry covered in sweet toppings like sugar and cinnamon. Live music and street performers often appear at the market.
Parliament Hill
The imposing Parliament Hill rises above the city, topped by the Gothic Revival buildings of Canada’s government. You can take a guided visit inside, but there’s much to enjoy outside as well. Every morning in summer, you can see the changing of the guards ceremony, and then in the evening, return to see the striking Sound and Light multimedia show projected on the buildings.
National Gallery of Canada
The art starts even before you even go inside, thanks to the spectacular prism-like glass towers of this ultra-modern building. Once inside, you can browse around one of the largest art museums in North America, with galleries displaying Indigenous and Canadian art, photography, sound sculptures, as well as many temporary exhibitions throughout the year. You can enter for free every Thursday night from 5 until 8.
