Vacation rentals with a kayak in Shelburne County

Great host, great house, great location! This is a very private house that is not far from town, only 20 minutes from the ferry. The house is clean, well appointed and spacious. It’s right on the water which gives hours of enjoyable relaxing both day and night. Speaking of night, you haven’t seen a night sky like this, it’s really amazing! This home was the perfect temporary home base for me and my family as we explored southern Nova Scotia. The host is excellent at communicating clearly. My family of 4 was more than comfortable during our stay here. We’d definitely stay again! Thank you for a great stay!

This home was beautiful! It was perfect for our team away day. The location was perfect, the home was cozy and Danielle was always available to answer our questions.

We stayed here for a girls trip and absolutely loved it! The place is beautiful, with fantastic views and plenty of space for a group weekend getaway. It had everything we needed—from comfortable beds to a well-stocked kitchen—and the whole vibe was just perfect. We’re already planning our next trip back. Highly recommend!

This is a beautiful home, well equipped and very comfortable. The highlight was sitting on the porch in comfy wicker chairs, drinking our coffee, and looking out at the ocean. So peaceful.

This was my first girlfriend trip. We arrived at the house and the seven of us were Wowed! Everything you could need was there. Perfect kitchen for meals and the open concept was great for everyone being together. The beds were very comfortable. The whole house is spotless. The hot tub on the upper deck and the view from there is beautiful. Summerville beach was only a couple minutes away. Next trip will include our husbands. The house next door would be great if anyone would want a family reunion getaway.

Five stars across the board for Holly who saved us. Not only did a storm prevent us from taking the CAT over from Maine, the storm also knocked out the power at the home. Holly contacted us immediately and got us into a new place not too far off from our original destination and saved the day. So if you end up in a Clark Griswold/National lampoons vacation like us, you can count on Holly to be a helping hand.

We enjoyed our stay at Big Bear! Loved the peaceful and beautiful location.Darren is very responsive and flexible.

Myself and a few girlfriends got to have the most delightful weekend away at Idle Hour. The restoration of this house clearly shows the love and admiration that the owner has put into it. They quite literally brought this house and its story back to life. The kitchen is special with to die for appliances, the beds are ridiculously comfortable, it’s such a classy spot to unwind on the ocean. All of the extra added necessities didn’t go without notice too, the linens, the robes, the condiments, the milk and cream, the firewood, it all made the stay extra special. We just loved it and would head back in a heartbeat.

I am not going to give away their secret but they went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. You will have to book to see how they look after you. Their home was exceptional roomy and extremely clean. Very well stocked for everything you need.

Beautiful location, private, pristine, peaceful. Lots of space, well set up for water activities, fireside chats, and relaxing the day away. The sauna is a wonderful addition. Well stocked with lots of towels and firewood, great layout with an open kitchen and comfortable living room.

Beautiful spot nestled in the woods on a gorgeous lake. Plenty of outdoor activities and two large cabins for those rainy days. Can’t recommend enough if you are looking for a secluded get away.

This was the exact space I needed for a break with my dogs. Absolutely decadent to just open the door and relax while the dogs enjoyed huge fenced area. Lots of space to explore and play, but with few neighbours, so not much to bark at. I never saw another person on the shoreline, so the dogs were a minute from free running and sniffing and swimming. I was amazed how well equiped the house was. I can only think of one thing I wished for that I didnt find with enough poking around. I needed a space away from things and this was it, while also being a reasonable drive from a variety of stores, should I need them. The bed was comfortable, the internet was quick and our only set back was quickly resolved. My perfect week. Several friends seeing my FB pics have their sights on it for their own dog getaways and I hope to get back there with my husband. If you are bringing dogs I do suggest bringing along some rubber-backed mats to put around so they have islands of nonslip surfface.

Fabulous place to stay, you will want to stay forever

my family and I loved staying at Henrik's lake house. The view of the lake from 2 sides of the property were stunning. the house was very clean and relaxing. I would definitely recommend this property!

Great place. One of my favorites that I have stayed at. Private and peaceful (make sure that is what you are looking for). We went for a staycation style and just enjoyed the views of the water and cooking at the place. We went out to dinner a couple of times, once was an hour round trip, and the other was a two-hour round trip -- we knew this going in, so no complaints. We would be open to going again in the future perhaps with another couple as the place is set up perfectly with nearly identical master suites with their own bathrooms and an additional third bathroom on the floor with the living room/dining/kitchen area—just a great innovative design and set-up with awesome windows and views. The hosts were also attentive to our needs and even left a nice surprise to welcome us after our long drive. I would highly recommend it.

This was a great stay and we hope to be back. The weather was less than favorable but it didn't matter, we loved staying here. Beautiful location and an amazing home. It had everything we needed!

Had a lovely stay at Mark’s quaint cabin on the waterfront. Couldn’t recommend this place enough to those who love a more rustic, earthy experience 🌳

Morgan and Zoee’s space was beautiful and it’s perfect for a private getaway or a family trip! there view from the back windows is stunning and even better if you go on the floating dock. if you find it cold, there is a lovely fireplace in the main room, and an electric one in the master bedroom. both heat the space so well! the place came stocked with all the amenities you could need, and there were lots of fresh towels and blankets. the kitchen is fully stocked with all types of dinnerware and dishes, and the fridge was a highlight of our stay. there was also a really cool mirror in the bathroom and we all loved it!

this is a very special and precious place. extremely intimate, beautiful and quiet. we enjoyed our stay in this cozy nest. lake is fishable with a provincial permit that you can purchase online the only disappointment is that we unfortunately got caught at a high peak of black flies which made impossible for us to spend time outside on the area. we're used to them but it was really out of control this time. better luck next time! We highly recommend the place though, it is really something!

Tammy’s home is the perfect getaway location! Central to many beaches and amenities yet also secluded enough to allow you to recharge and connect with nature. Tammy is responsive and her instructions are very easy to follow. Definitely work the visit!!

Had a great time! Perfect for a little weekend getaway. Lots of activities included to make the most of your stay, had fun kayaking, fishing, and biking. The cabin feels a little out in the open, with no trees and located near the main road, and being quite close to the other cabins. Hosts were great and responsive and made us feel welcomed!

My family and I loved Mark’s place. From the moment we arrived we felt right at home. The cabin was very clean and had everything for you that you could think of. My kids loved waking up every morning and going on the lake fishing. At night after a day out we would come back and light a fire at the fire pit lakeside. I would highly recommend this place and hope to come back again next year.

Loved this quiet peaceful space for a family getaway. Close to gorgeous beaches. 15-20min away from Carters beach and Summerville beach. The latter is a great beginner surfing beach.

A cute rustic cabin overlooking a beautiful peaceful lake. I only wish we could have stayed longer. Just as described: small but clean and well equipped. Highly recommend!
