Tranquil Chateau on Moody Lake
Great space to rent with friends and family! Very spacious, ample parking and great neighbourhood

The Blue Cottage
PAM &J.P on été extraordinaires. Nous avons été ravis par notre séjour et sommes tombés en amour avec la Nouvelle-Ecosse. Les animaux étaient un extra inattendus. Gustave va beaucoup s’ennuyer de Maple. Petit commentaire QUI N’EST PAS UNE CRITIQUE. Le réfrigérateur n’est pas très grand alors, ne pas faire une trop grosse épicerie à chaque fois. Nous sommes arrivés avec trop de choses et tout ne rentrait pas. Mais encore une fois ce n’est pas grave. Il y une épicerie pas tres loin. Ça se fait très bien. Faut juste pas prévoir trop longtemps d’avance si vous avez une grosse famille comme la mienne. La piscine est extraordinaire!!!!! Près de pleins de belles plages . Nous avons passé un super beau moment en famille!!!

Riverhouse in Pentz
Fantastic hosts. Dream heritage property with total privacy and a heated pool in a park like setting; we booked that property pretty much every year for the last seven years. Rob and Barb are constantly improving the property, there is always something new to discover, whether it's a new appliance, or a brand new landscaped river frontage inviting you to sit and watch river and ocean life whilst sipping a glass of tasty red provided with the welcome basket. We enjoyed eating out at the Lunenburg restaurants, as much as we enjoyed cooking a delicious meal at their place, which is fully equipped, one can easily cook up a gourmet meal. Golden! And we shall return!! Greetings from Port Lorne, NS, Conny and Fred.

North End Nest
Helen’s place was exactly as pictured plus many more lovely additions in terms of available supplies and even food items! Helen emphasized how everything in the apartment was for myself and guest to use, making us feel right at home and very welcomed. Parking is easy and steps from the main entrance of the unit. This is a very spacious place with comfy beds while also being only a short distance from the bustle of downtown Halifax!

Modern Family Style in Wolfville
Perfect place for a weekend getaway! Loved how close and accessible it was to Wolfville. The house itself was very clean and spacious. Lots of bedrooms with big beds made it easy to host a larger group. Backyard looked amazing, wishing it was warmer and the pool was open!

Fun Retreat
Cj was very nice and made sure we had everything we needed! Beautiful house filled with so much to do, pictures don’t do it justice.

Nova Scotia Oceanfront with Private Indoor Pool
What an amazing place! Thomas greeted us as we arrived and gave us a tour of the house and amenities. Land Yacht sits directly on the shore with a spectacular view of the ocean. The house was very comfortable for our family reunion of 11; and everyone especially enjoyed the indoor heated pool! The kitchen was well stocked, the house was immaculate, and the nautical themed decor was beautiful. Couldn’t have had a better time. Land Yacht is highly recommended and we will definitely return!

Spectacular Waterfront Estate near Lunenburg
I would say the pictures don't do it justice. What a beautiful house and property. Sitting on the front lawn drinking my coffee listening to the silence was perfect for a city gal. So peaceful and serene. The house was cozy and the beds with down comforters was perfect for the chilly nights when we were there. The weather was warm enough during the day so we were able to take dip in the pool, which was very clean. The house was generous with its towels and blankets. You can tell a lot of thought went into decorating the house. It was tastefully done without feeling like you were in a museum with fragile pieces. A comfortable and cozy setting. A perfect vacation to end the summer.

The Chalet
Host is super responsive and helped us with fast and early check in. Huge help there! Location is as perfect as it can be. Quiet area and my kids enjoy the trampoline. Get some hot tea or coffee and sit on the large deck and watch your kids jumping on trampoline. This is the vacation we need. Close to Sobeys / gas station and easy to get on highway to all attractions. We would like to come back again next time we visit Halifax.

Close to Hospitals/University/Downtown/Everything
This was a really stress free stay, Matthew went out of his way to make it feel like home, and was always helpful. Even brought a stroller for my toddler to play with. He was helpful and gave suggestions of things to do around town. The house was beautiful and extremely clean. I would definitely stay there again when I travel to Halifax again.

Garden Suite on Robie *2bed/4ppl*
Great spot to stay to explore Halifax. Having a set parking spot near downtown is half the battle. Lots of space and comfortable setting, plenty of amenities in the space.

Private Cozy Downstairs Area With Garden View
We recently stayed at Anni’s place and were extremely pleased with the entire experience. The entire place was very clean and comfortable. Easy check in and check out process, and great location. Anni was responsive and friendly. Would highly recommend staying here!

Brand-New & Tranquil Retreat: Backyard ~ Parking!
This is an absolutely wonderful place to stay. You also will feel comfortable like your home .The host is very nice, very kind and always ready to help you when you need it. Everything is perfect and you can just come here with your luggage. It is also conveniently located for quick access to the shopping areas and downtown Halifax.

Full 4 bedrooms single house at Halifax Peninsula
It is a very nice home. The place was very clean and had a lot of room to accommodate our group of 9 people. Very easy check in with clear instructions and free WiFi. We stayed there with a toddler who is almost 2 and this home has many stairs and no baby gates. We just had to pay alittle extra attention to the toddler as she kept trying to climb up and down the stairs. After checking out I realized that I had forgotten a blanket when we checked out, went back to the home and the owners were there when I arrived. They were very kind and friendly and also helped me find my toddlers blanket, I really appreciated their help and kindness. Overall we had a great stay in this home. Thank you for accommodating our family.

Cozy and spacious 1-bedroom apartment in friendly neighborhood

Secret Beach House
Wow!!! What can I say, unfortunately there is no 10 stars to rate this place and Courtenay. She has done such a fantastic job, we arrived there was water in the fridge and milk, fresh cookies and local caramels from Lure!! I felt like it was my birthday. Beautiful little notes left for us all to welcoming us to the property. I’ve stayed in many Airbnb’s around the world and in Nova Scotia and these guys knocked it out of the park. I need to go and re-review previous properties to make the level of service, support and quality of the accommodation make sense. This is beyond 5 stars and actually deliver so well so thoughtfully that I would not want to stay anywhere else. Amazing location, sunrise and sunset were just beautiful over the ocean. Tucked away but still close for groceries or nipping into Halifax. Courtenay was super responsive but honestly everything is there so no need to ask for anything. Tea, coffee, everything you need other than main groceries was a big help.

Point Pleasant Place, Luxurious 3BR in Halifax
We had a wonderful stay, the place was great and accessible. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Musician’s East-Coast-Farmhouse-Inspired Bungalow
I can never say enough about Geordie’s place! This was our second year here and when walking back through the doors it just felt like walking into “home”. The kids call Geordie’s place our “East Coast Home” and I couldn’t agree more! Always clean, great layout, comfortable and inviting. Close to the highway to get anywhere you need and all amenities within a short drive! Quite area with very little traffic. We absolutely loved our trip once again this summer ! Thanks Geordie! We’ll be back! :)

Getaway to a Quiet Entire Home in Herring Cove, NS
Thank you Elias, beautiful property and location, we’ll be back!

The Gallery /Spa House
A gorgeous property! Comfortable beds, nice size kitchen; many uniqique artful touches throughout. Fabulous hiking nearby along the seaside cliffs. Hot tub and sauna very clean and appreciated after a long day hiking. Randy was a very responsive and friendly host and we would absolutely recommend!

Architectural Retreat - Messenger House
My mother and I stayed at Mairi’s place, and we absolutely loved it! The house is really unique and special, and we loved the layout! Loved that the results of books and games to choose from, lots of comfortable outdoor seating, and the area is beautiful Highly recommend, checking it out!

Home in the heart of Halifax’s most vibrant area
A beautiful home right on the Dalhousie campus and within walkable distance of all Halifax has to offer. The house was perfect for our young family.

Private suite in quiet neighbourhood
Quiet residential location, peaceful space, great value. Spotless, carefully maintained - highly recommend!
