This was the perfect choice for our family of five adults and one child. It had everything we needed and more than we expected. Charming decor and plenty of space for everyone. The deck was a favorite gathering spot with its stunnig view of Mahone Bay. The bedrooms were charming, the kitchen had absolutely everything you could need, and the living areas were cozy and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. ##### Diane H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Chris B. Jul 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Lovely Mahone Bay stay Had a great week at the Oakland house. There were six of us and the house suited us very well. It was very hot but being in the trees helped keep the house cool. The kitchen has been updated and was well equipped with everything we needed. Loved the unique lighting fixtures! Deer came by every evening which was a real treat, especially for the little ones. The area is nice and quiet and the view from the patio is beautiful. We were a little disappointed that the hot tub that was included in the listing isn’t there as the kids would have loved it. There are two kayaks to use but we couldn’t see a way to get them in the water in front of the property so didn’t use them. There are a few nice walking trails in the area. ##### Chris B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle S. Jul 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A comfy home! This is a great place to stay if you need to work but also play. It has high-speed internet for those grinding days, set in a modern five-bedroom home. Two bathrooms mean little to no waiting time. The kitchen has lots of cooking and baking containers and trays if you want to get creative, but there are also several great restaurants nearby, like Oh My Cod! Halifax is also only an hour away, where you can visit the Citadel, the Public Gardens, and more, and have a great supper. The house was clean and bright. Having the air conditioners came in handy when a heat wave passed through, but otherwise, the windows were open to catch the cool night's breeze. You can pack light as there is a washer and dryer in the basement. Take time to enjoy a paddle in the bay in one of the two kayaks on the property. The lawns and gardens are well maintained and the view from the porch is outstanding! ##### Michelle S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah D. H.

Nice view from the front porch out to Mahone Bay and 2 kayaks with life jackets to go and explore. Nicely appointed kitchen and lots of space to eat inside and out but great restaurants nearby if you want to go out and there’s an ice cream shop only an easy and scenic 20 minute walk away! ##### Michelle S.

The rooms were beautifully decorated and I loved the really modern and open kitchen which made making meals easy and a great way to connect with the family. We cycle so I rented bikes at a wonderful cycling store in Mahone Bay so we could explore some of the trails and roads that hug the shore. The views were spectacular! The town is also lovely and a great place to spend an afternoon shopping and enjoying local culture. Lunenburg and Chester are also close by and definitely worth visiting. This is one of the nicest vacation rental properties I've ever been in and I'd highly recommend it to others. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Holly T.

Thank you for sharing this gem with us! We enjoyed it tremendously, and appreciated all the natural beauty around the home. It was difficult for my parents to navigate getting in and out of the property without a handrail for support and due to their arthritic joints, the suffered a great deal without A/C, so I might suggest amending the listing to reflect the placement of the window air conditioners For the younger gang, it was ideal - my 21 yr old was out every low tide discovering hermit crabs, crabs, and more! I hope that Fiona didn't hit you too hard! Thanks again for a beautiful spot. ##### kate k. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Myra L.

The beds were very comfortable, ample supplies in the kitchen for a large party if needed, and a very quiet area with a lovely view of the bay. The owner was extremely accommodating and the check in check out process was quite easy. Would have appreciated an umbrella on the outside deck which can get very hot during the day but otherwise was quite satisfied overall with the house. Thank you James. ##### Lynda B. ### 8/10 Good #### Sandy S. Aug 15, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Summer visit to Mahone Bay Nova Scotia Our family stayed at this property in August 2019\. The location was great as it was close to town but far enough away for quiet privacy. There is nice separate areas for conversations if you have a big group. Some of the side chairs need to be replaced with more comfortable pieces (everyone commented on this). The kitchen is well set up. We cooked a few meals and also ate some out in Mahone Bay, Lunenburg and Chester. There needs to be updating for some of the mattresses . My husband and I stayed in the main room downstairs and it was comfortable. The rest of the family said the mattresses were not comfortable. The outside patio area has nice views but some comfy furniture would be nice to replace the old pieces . James was prompt to answer any of my questions. The house is in a lovely area and I would enjoy staying again. It was a special trip to celebrate our Dad’s 93 birthday! ##### Sandy S. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott S.

Five-Oaks-by-the-Sea was the perfect setting for our family to come together and celebrate our parents’ 50th anniversary. The home is spacious and clean with all the comforts of home. ##### Carm C. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Corrie R. Jul 22, 2018 #### Beautiful location with ocean view. A character home with lots of room for our party of 9. We absolutely loved staying at 5 Oaks and were sad to leave after a week! It came equipped with everything we needed including a BBQ, kitchen utensils, wifi and tv. We spent a lot of time out on the deck looking out over the water. There was lots of room for our party of 9 and never felt like we were in each other’s way. There are hiking/ biking trails just up the road. Mahone Bay has fabulous shops and restaurants - a charming village. Great location for day trips to many great sites. James was great to work with and was very responsive to calls and inquiries. ##### Corrie R.

Needless to say, we had a great time. We were particularly thrilled with the opportunity to sail on the Bluenose II which sails out of Lunenburg during part of the summer. The house we leased through VRBO was wonderful. I would agree with all of the previous reviews including the statement that it exceeded expectations: it was lovelier and more spacious than the photos conveyed. If you are looking for a high quality home which is beautifully decorated, filled with character, and in a superb location, look no further. We hope to visit again. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Old Orchard Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Wolfville-Hotels-Old-Orchard-Inn-Spa.h903228.Hotel-Information) > > [Digby Pines Golf Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Annapolis-Royal-Hotels-Digby-Pines-Golf-Resort-Spa.h890065.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Glengarry Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Glasgow-Hotels-Best-Western-Glengarry-Hotel.h6213.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Bridgewater Hotel & Convention Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Lunenburg-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Bridgewater-Hotel-Convention-Centre.h3812334.Hotel-Information) > > [Hearthstone Inn Boutique Hotel Halifax - Dartmouth](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Hearthstone-Inn-Boutique-Hotel-Halifax-Dartmouth.h11975.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Halifax Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Halifax-Airport.h1942038.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Halifax Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Halifax-Airport.h1379443.Hotel-Information) > > [Inn on the Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Inn-On-The-Lake.h52922.Hotel-Information) > > [Dundee Resort & Golf Club](https://www.expedia.ca/West-Bay-Hotels-Dundee-Resort-Golf-Club.h3849923.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Halifax Dartmouth](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Halifax-Dartmouth.h27486693.Hotel-Information) > > [Fundy Complex Dockside Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Annapolis-Royal-Hotels-Fundy-Complex-Dockside-Suites.h7463935.Hotel-Information) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham Windsor NS](https://www.expedia.ca/Wolfville-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Windsor-NS.h1710981.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Stellarton by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Glasgow-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Stellarton.h2066604.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Halifax Dartmouth](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Halifax-Dartmouth.h27486696.Hotel-Information) > > [Inn on Prince Hotel & Conference Centre Truro](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Glasgow-Hotels-Inn-On-Prince-Hotel-Conference-Centre-Truro.h428538.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Dartmouth Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Dartmouth-Hotel-Suites.h2256605.Hotel-Information) > > [Alt Hotel Halifax Airport - In Terminal](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Alt-Hotel-Halifax-Airport.h6159326.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Halifax - Dartmouth](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-By-Hilton-Halifax-Dartmouth.h2432733.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Amherst](https://www.expedia.ca/Amherst-Hotels-Wandlyn-Inn-Amherst.h457730.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Halifax - Dartmouth by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-And-Suites-Halifax-Dartmouth.h34504431.Hotel-Information) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham Truro NS](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Glasgow-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Truro-NS.h918514.Hotel-Information) > > [HFX Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Goffs-Hotels-HFX-Airport-Hotel.h528264.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Truro](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Glasgow-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-Truro.h15401518.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Dartmouth](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Dartmouth.h15692.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn Truro](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Glasgow-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Truro.h23550.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn by Hilton Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Membertou-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-By-Hilton-Sydney-Nova-Scotia.h4905064.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn Dartmouth](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Dartmouth.h17943.Hotel-Information) > > [Slumber Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Wolfville-Hotels-Slumber-Inn.h460541.Hotel-Information) > > [Liscombe Lodge Resort and Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Liscomb-Hotels-Liscombe-Lodge-Resort-And-Conference-Centre.h890063.Hotel-Information)
