I'm going over to NS with my other half on a recce trip to investigate emigrating. Rather than stay in hotels all the time we'd like to rent a cottage for a week - cheaper and would give us more of a flavour of living there! I was wondering if anyone knew of any cottages for rent/rental companies that would be good to look at?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Here is one that does both vacation and long-term rentals,

let'srent.ca

Brian and Stella van der Lugt tel (001 902 273 2204) don't forget 4 hours behind UK ie, noon here 8:00 am there.

Although they cover all of Canada, they are based in Nova Scotia. It is run by a really nice Dutch lady and her husband, they have been very helpful on the phone.

Also try Kijiji.ca then Halifax for Nova Scotia. Under categories, try vacation rentals. Kijiji is a free classified site.

I will see if I can think of any more that I have come across. We did a reccie last year through New Brunswick, PEI and Nova Scotia for five weeks, stayed mostly motels and a few B&B's.

I can second that Stella is a very nice lady and has helped some of my friends find temporary accomodation. I met her when I was scouting out properties for them and she seems very professional.

And there is another agency that rents cottages that I know of and some of our neighbours rent their houses through them.
They are called Cottage Connection in Nova Scotia and their website is stayinnovascotia dot com
