Welcome to our beautiful piece of paradise where you’ll enjoy a beautiful lakeside getaway with all amenities included. Come enjoy the “East Coast lifestyle”. Located on picturesque Porters Lake - the most popular recreational/swimming lake in Nova Scotia and only 8 minutes from world class surfing at Lawrencetown beach! Book your surfing lesson at East Coast Surf School. We’re also close to many other white sand beaches, scenic walking/hiking trails, cozy cafes and museums.
This spacious, self contained 2 bedroom apartment is tastefully decorated with quality furnishings and 3 stunning original South African paintings. Only steps away from our sandy beach, cedar playground, trampoline, fire pit, dock, hammock and 175ft of lake waterfront. Come relax with a glass of wine by the fire pit or go on a scenic adventure on one of the 7 kayaks or 2 paddle boards. There’s a gradual walkout into the lake making it ideal for children. The water is “brakish” (mix of salt and fresh water) and great for swimming (no leaches). Just make sure to pack water shoes as there are some rocks and shells. We also have a large foam floating water mat. There are yard games like ladder toss, rope toss, giant jenga, and axe throwing. With so many amenities and fun activities many of our guests spend most of their vacation on site enjoying all that our property has to offer.
