Family-friendly vacation rentals in Porters Lake

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 came for the Hunter Moon and fell in love with the sunsets and walking on the beach. Lots of places to explore in the area.

Everything that you could have possibly needed was available. Close to a small little town that had restaurants, grocery store etc. The views in and around the cottage were spectacular

What a beautiful location. The suite had everything we needed and we fell asleep to the sound of the surf. Need to go back and stay longer!

Marvellous start of our 5+ weeks Nova Scotia - Newfoundland tour. Lovely apartment with outstanding view located directly at the beach.

Our family was coming for a wedding- it was a stunning place for us to gather and enjoy - reality- I wish would have been able to stay longer. I highly recommend this place- stunning space and great hosts. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you for everything.

Cute mini home, super close to Clam Harbour Beach. This rental feels like renting from a friend or family member with many thoughtful amenities like - condiments in the fridge, beach towels, coffee station + coffee provided, variety of mosquito repelling devices. Beds were very comfortable with nice linens.

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. :)

The condo was absolutely perfect for our needs. The privacy of our own space with all the conveniences of being home. Thank you Paul for a lovely weekend. We will be returning guests!

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

Barrie is a wonderful host and the location of this home is truly incredible. We had everything we needed, plus our own island! We hope to be back!

My family really enjoyed our stay here! It was such a convenient location. The beds were very cozy and we felt completely at home.

Very clean, spacious and convenient condo in central Halifax, close to downtown and Dalhousie. Easy check-in, and all the amenities needed to make our stay comfortable, and the host responds quickly if you have questions or need anything. Highly recommended.

We've stayed at this Airbnb multiple times, and it consistently offers a comfortable and enjoyable experience. The space is always clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped, with a stunning ocean view that never gets old. It's a reliable choice for both short and long stays. Highly recommend!

This is a nice place, very comfortable mattress, with well equipped kitchen, and a big plus is a super firm sand beach and Lake Charlotte boat ramp close by. Had an excellent 3 nights here. We recommend The Diner char grilled burger a few minutes east of Webbers Store (which is currently closed) which gives this 2nd floor apartment and deck considerable privacy.

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.

Chef Garrin’s and Patty’s place was a perfect home away from home and a great place to explore the Halifax and Dartmouth areas. Our space was beautifully furnished, spotless, and perfectly suited for all of our needs. We especially enjoyed sitting out on the deck in the evening, watching the lights across the water, under the lovely Sherpa blankets they supplied. Can’t recommend it enough to others!

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?

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

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.

The accommodation was as described. It was spacious and very well equipped with comfortable dining, seating and bedroom areas. The location was convenient for accessing the highway , the Eastern Shore and Halifax . Grocery, fuel and restaurants were nearby as were walking trails. I would definitely stay again.
