Family-friendly vacation rentals in Downtown Halifax

We had the pleasure to stay for the month of August. Great location overlooking a lake, just a short walk to a small quiet beach on the ocean. An old railway track converted to biking/walking path close by. Close to groceries and restaurants. Great location for day trips to Peggy’s cove/Halifax boardwalk/many parks and beaches. The home had everything you need. Just bring your swim trunks and spirit of adventure. We highly recommend a stay at this lovely spot.

Michelle's place was exactly what we expected. It even looked larger in real life vs. photos advertised. we loved the enclosed gazebo the hot tub was located in, the large kitchen table with oodles of seating, open floorplan and the small touches that made it feel aesthetically pleasing and cozy. we will be back sometime in the summer!

We Had a family reunion “staycation”!! This Was a perfect spot. Open space for the play pen and baby toys! Beautiful view & yard. We brought our own groceries and stayed in. The kitchen was very workable and had all the kitchen tools we could have needed. The wood stove was such a relaxing mood setter. The outdoor hot tub was lovely! (2 ppl) The deck was perfect for enjoying the outdoors with babies! Host had loads of little fine touches. Washer & dryer worked great! Parking was good, right next to the door and no stairs needed. Felt right at home and very comfortable! This is a perfect location of longer stays!

We came for the Hunter Moon and fell in love with the sunsets and walking on the beach. Lots of places to explore in the area.

Everything that you could have possibly needed was available. Close to a small little town that had restaurants, grocery store etc. The views in and around the cottage were spectacular

What a beautiful location. The suite had everything we needed and we fell asleep to the sound of the surf. Need to go back and stay longer!

Marvellous start of our 5+ weeks Nova Scotia - Newfoundland tour. Lovely apartment with outstanding view located directly at the beach.

Our family was coming for a wedding- it was a stunning place for us to gather and enjoy - reality- I wish would have been able to stay longer. I highly recommend this place- stunning space and great hosts. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you for everything.

Most of what I'm saying is echoing what other Guests have said - it's all still true for 2024: Morry is great to work with, cottage is clean and well-equipped,  the views here are wonderful, beds are comfy and the layout worked well for us with the two main floor bedrooms on opposite sides.  The kitchen is a good size and the two full bathrooms are like new. There's a great hike trailhead a stone's throw away and, if you haven't already, you will fall in love with Prospect, NS!!

This is the second time we have stayed at David's place and will not be the last. The addition of the darts and shuffleboard was icing on the cake! The kitchen is well equipped for meal prep and the living area by the fire and TV is very comfortable. David communicated before, during and after the trip was appreciated and he was flexible on our arrival and departure. For a spot near the city but far enough away to unwind, it is an amazing value.

Kristine was an excellent host! Her place is incredibly beautiful. We would love to come back in the future.

Barrie is a wonderful host and the location of this home is truly incredible. We had everything we needed, plus our own island! We hope to be back!

PAM & J.P were extraordinary. We were delighted with our stay and fell in love with Nova Scotia. The animals were an unexpected extra. Gustave is going to miss Maple a lot. Small comment WHICH IS NOT A CRITICISM. The refrigerator is not very big, so don't do too much grocery shopping at once. We arrived with too many things and not everything fit. But again, that's okay. There's a grocery store not far away. It's very easy. Just don't plan too far ahead if you have a big family like mine. The pool is amazing!!!!! Close to lots of beautiful beaches. We had a great time with the family!!!

My family really enjoyed our stay here! It was such a convenient location. The beds were very cozy and we felt completely at home.

Very clean, spacious and convenient condo in central Halifax, close to downtown and Dalhousie. Easy check-in, and all the amenities needed to make our stay comfortable, and the host responds quickly if you have questions or need anything. Highly recommended.

Outstanding host. Truly blown away by Gerry’s warm welcome to Halifax. Every day he offered assistance and advice, which was much needed and appreciated since we had never been to Nova Scotia before. His friendliness is genuine and heartwarming. And his place is totally fantastic. An unexpected bonus was 100% the best hot water pressure in a shower that I’ve ever experienced in my life. Highly highly recommended.

Really cozy and stylish place, nice amount of light, Peter was very kind, easy going, responsive, and helpful. I would stay here again! I wish this was my apartment hehe

It was great, the location is convenient, very nice view, quiet at night. The place is good for a couple or family with kids, as the bathroom and small bedroom aren’t private. There is a lot of kitchenware.

We really enjoyed our stay. The suite was well equipped and clean and in good condition. The location is very central and it really was easy to walk everywhere downtown. The temperature was comfortable and there were extra towels and blankets.

We always feel at home in Angela’s flat. Can’t think of a thing that has ever been lacking to make our visit completely comfortable. We love the neighbourhood which is remarkably quiet, especially considering how close it is to restaurants, public transit and downtown. Looking forward to our next stay!

I had a fantastic time at Catherine's place! She provided plenty of guidance on places to go, and each one was exceptional. She both met me when I arrived and said goodbye when leaving, and she made sure that I had everything I needed. I had to make a sudden last minute change to my booking and she was very accommodating. I would highly recommend staying here.

This was the perfect place to stay for a visit with my son at Dal. The apartment was cozy, clean, and nicely decorated. We felt right at home, which was exactly what I was looking for. It's convenient for getting around as there are bus stops right outside the door. I even took the bus to and from the airport - only $5 each way! It was also a very quick walk to the grocery store, coffee shop, and anything else you need. Great stay overall!

Interior is modern and very comfortable and the swim spa and patio area are private, with great views of the bay during the day and the stars at night. Easy access to Hailfax and the surrounding area.
