Burlington Vacation Rentals

Burlington has plenty to offer visitors as well as providing a base for trips to Niagara Falls and Toronto. In fact, it provides a quiet but beautiful haven from these popular tourist spots. Take in its sights or relax on the shores of Lake Ontario before returning to accommodation that ranges from executive family homes to lakeside bungalows.

Family Fun in Burlington

Pack up a picnic in your Burlington accommodation and then pick strawberries and raspberries for dessert at Stonehaven Farms. The kids can play on straw bales, hitch a wagon ride and have fun in a huge sandbox.

Spencer Smith Park is close to your Burlington accommodation and a great place for summer fun. It has a small beach, walking trails, a playground and a water jet area.

Any kid would want to explore a real live warship. Now retired, HMCS Haida has a distinguished war record and is nicknamed the 'Fightingest Ship in the Royal Canadian Navy.' Berthed alongside her is HMCS Star, another museum ship.

Local Events in Burlington

The summer Sound of Music event started in the 1980s as a marching band parade and has grown to become Canada's largest free music festival. For nine days, the town comes alive to local and visiting performers. There is also a grand carnival parade.

There's no need to cook in your vacation accommodation after visiting the Burlington RibFest in August. This is the largest such festival in Canada with stalls selling local ribs accompanied by sauces and sides. There's live music as well.

You won't miss out on events when you visit in the winter as November to January sees the Burlington Festival of Light. Leave your short term rental when the sun sets to enjoy a festive light show in Spencer Smith Park.
