Cottage vacation rentals in South Shore

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful time. The cabin is very private and yet only a five minute drive to the town of Alma and some great restaurants (we highly recommend the Muddy Rudder). Great hiking trails nearby in the national park as well. It was paradise. Completely surrounded by trees and the sounds of all the little birds. The cabin has absolutely everything you would need and more and was exceptionally clean and comfortable. We loved the hot tub. Would highly recommend the cabin.

We had a lovely stay at Melanie's cottage. The cottage was very spacious, clean and had absolutely everything that we needed. (bottle of wine was a nice touch) Melanie was very responsive to our questions and responded right away. The cottage is on a busy street but is relatively quiet when you are on the beautiful front deck. We would recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to explore the area.

As described. Lovely spot. Quiet. Beautiful view and peepers lovely to fall asleep too

the cottage was perfect. clean and comfortable. the area and views were beautiful. the hot tub was excellent. The hosts were superb. They were very proactive, checking to see if we arrived and if we needed anything. the instructions for everything were in a binder and very clear and easy to understand. we are already talking about returning next year.

My best friend and I stayed here with our kids and had a wonderful time! The view is amazing and we all enjoyed the wood fired hot tub very much. Plenty of bathrooms and space to hang out especially with two young kids. We would definitely book in again!

This adorable and extremely well laid out cottage was fantastic. Lots of room, beautifully decorated and very comfortable and inviting. Also a beautiful location and very relaxing. Cant wait to go back

such an amazing place for girls trip, cute and cozy place with amazing aesthetics. The surroundings were calm, and felt safe. Had all the essential amenities. everything was set for our arrival. Sara immediately sent the adress and instructions to my friend's phone upon request cause' my phone was dead on our way. The host was responsive and friendly. They gave detailed instructions about check-in and check-out.

Herring Hole was a beautiful choice! You can’t go wrong! From spacious surroundings, to cozy decor and an inviting deck overlooking the bay, to a genuine experience of a small coastal fishing village, this place checked all the boxes!! It’s about a 25 minute drive to Halifax but the scenery is beautiful so time travels by quickly! We would book this place again without any further thought! Kim even had freshly ground coffee available for our morning coffees on the deck!

We loved staying at Kim's place with our two dogs. It is adorable and compact, but with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location cannot be beat, - right at the heart of the working fishing marina and the Fundy tides, walkable to sea caves at low tide, historic homes, the cutest shops, covered bridges and more - a postcard shot in every direction. The only slight downside of the location is some noisy traffic such as motorcycles going past during the day, but it dies down in early evening to be quite peaceful. Kim was a responsive and helpful host, and we would absolutely be back again. St. Martins was the perfect stop on our vacation, and also makes a good base for the Fundy Trail. And this cottage is a prime location for experiencing all of it!

Jennie's place was fantastic! it was well stocked, very clean, beautiful and really felt like a retreat. we don't often return to the same rental but would definitely come back again! recommend for a family get away or a group of friends.

We had a great few days in Rocky Point. We were two families of 3 plus a dog and the bedroom setups plus loft were perfect for us. We would definitely return again.

Ian's place was exactly as described. Everything was wonderful. Was peaceful and relaxing and they communicated when we had one small.ossur and came out and fixed the problem with a hour. The house was in easy driving from a lot of tourist places which was great. Thanks so much for sharing your place with us.

We stayed at Shobac Farm with our three-year-old toddler and dog, and it was unforgettable. The property perfectly balances modern luxury with cozy, down-to-earth warmth. It's a hidden gem tucked in a stunning, remote spot. The architecture is breathtaking, and the pool, sauna, hot tubs, beaches, fire pit, and sunken dining area make it even more special. Waking up to ocean views and falling asleep to the sound of waves was magical. The historic schoolhouse is fully equipped with everything you could need to feel at home yet completely relaxed. Nearby coffee shops and stores are welcoming and convenient. As amazing as everything was, nothing beat the two beautiful Highland cows—seeing them was a bucket list moment! Our toddler loved exploring, and we felt completely at ease with both a young child and a dog. We can’t wait to come back—every season, again and again. Thank you, Shobac Farm, for such incredible memories!

Kristine’s property is the perfect location for a quiet getaway. It has amazing ocean views from the front deck and water access from the dock at the end of the driveway. The house is cozy and has every amenity you need. Spacious living areas and bedrooms that any family or group would enjoy. We had plenty of space for our group of nine. Kristine is a wonderful host. We will definitely stay here again.

I was looking for a last minute booking when I had to abandon my camping plans due to a storm. Dee was super responsive to my last minute request and was extremely accommodating making sure that I had plenty of fire wood and water in case the power went out. She also dropped off extra towels and blankets for my pup and was warm and welcoming to us both. The property is off the main road and was great for playing frisbee with my dog. The old store was wonderfully refurbished, keeping many of the original features while providing all the modern conveniences. I hope to be back!!!

I can summarize our experience in two words: absolutely fantastic! Every amenity you could need was there, the cabin was clean and tidy, and our host was excellent to deal with. Brendan was very responsive and helpful whenever we needed him. A great experience and we will definitely be back!

Very nice spot for a cute getaway! It was very private. Close to cute spots and touristic attractions. I totally recommend!

Our stay at River Breeze Cottage was just lovely! The cottage was clean, and the view of the river was peaceful. It was a great place to relax after busy days of sight-seeing. The hosts were responsive and thoughtful! We hope to return again soon 😊

This place was incredible! Close enough to Halifax to enjoy the city but remote and quaint to enjoy the seaside life. The accommodation was very well stocked with coffee, milk, bread, treats! Highly recommend!

This place is stunning! Within 5 minutes of arriving we knew this was going to be a great trip. Richie was very helpful and the arrival was smooth. The location is so picturesque; the view is amazing. The 3 beaches are completely private. The walk through the small path to the rocks was a great discovery and we spent time just sitting on the rocks enjoying the scenery. The house is beautiful and everything you could possibly need was provided. Even the towels were so soft and fluffy. The wood burning stove was a real treat on a chilly evening. The house is spotlessly clean and very well decorated. It’s a quiet area but not far from Peggy’s Cove or Halifax. Overall I can recommend this property enough. If Richie ever decides to sell I’ll be first in the queue. Overall a fantastic stay and we’ll definitely be back. Thanks Richie :)

Second time I have stayed here and it’s been fantastic both times. Would highly recommend

Very well planned out two story cottage with all the amenities. Property is ocean facing with incredible views and easy access to the beach at low tide. Depending on the time of year it can be quite blustery - pack a sweater and you are all good. You’re a 15 minute walk into Hall’s Harbour and the best lobster dinner for miles. Sonia was very responsive.

A wonderful stay in one of our favourite parts of the province. The place was clean and tidy, equipped with everything you'll need and the beds were all very comfortable - my son was a big fan of the bunk bed. It was also a pleasant surprise for my son to a finda selection of games and kids books, which he made good use of in quieter times. Silka is also quick to respond to any questions you might have, though we had little need of that as all information we needed to enjoy our stay was provided. The location is fantastic. You could easily kill the whole day just hanging out in the back yard, combing the beach, but you're also within striking distance of numerous sandy beaches and coastal communities, so there's plenty of ways to fill your days.

Peaceful, beautiful views, pristine inside and out. Great amenities. Host is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!
