Family-friendly vacation rentals in Halifax

We had a lovely stay at Melanie's cottage. The cottage was very spacious, clean and had absolutely everything that we needed. (bottle of wine was a nice touch) Melanie was very responsive to our questions and responded right away. The cottage is on a busy street but is relatively quiet when you are on the beautiful front deck. We would recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to explore the area.

NICE PLACE IN A CHARMING RESIDENTIAL AREA OF HALIFAX We had a very good time in Peter's place. Everything we needed was available there, including very friendly and helpful conversations with Peter. We recommend Peter's place for people who enjoy privacy, calm and charming residential area. There is a direct and convenient bus service to downtown (# 7A and 7B).

This was a perfect location - walkable to the harbor area, stores and restaurants and just a few blocks from a grocery store. The location felt very safe. The mattress was comfortable and the entire place was very clean. Ryan was extremely responsive and proactive. We were allowed to access the place a bit earlier than set check in time. Ryan helped with parking (parking limits not imposed after 4 pm or on weekends) which made parking a breeze. I’d definitely recommend staying here and would stay again if I was in the area.

One of my favourite Air B&B’s to date! Angela was such a thoughtful host and all of her recommendations were incredible (Bar Kismet, The Narrows, parks, breweries, etc). We had our pup and it was the ideal place, especially for wanting to get around mainly on foot. LOVELY neighborhood. We can’t wait to come back!

Great location and lovely home

This conveniently located and charming historic property was a delight! Be advised that it's on the 3rd floor, accessible by narrow stairs. I had trouble getting my overly large suitcase up and down (my own fault)! Very convenient location for exploring Halifax.

One of those rare times when a house described as "stunning" really lives up to it. John's house near Halifax is beautiful and serene, all windows and wood and incredible views out to the water in the cove and ocean beyond. Surrounded by trees and a garden path down to the dock, it feels private but not isolated. Great house on the inside also - spotlessly clean, streamlined so there's no clutter but everything you need, simple but quite beautiful also. Comfortable beds, great kitchen and bathrooms and just full of sunlight. Can't imagine a better spot to relax and recharge, and close to lots of good hiking. John is super friendly and responsive, a great host - look forward to coming back.

This is a special home and one of our favorite Airbnb stays. The house is beautiful The grounds are also lovely. Our kids loved playing in the yard and rolling down the hill. Great kitchen and space. We loved the original beams and artwork throughout the house. We loved the TV room and DVD collection for family movie night. The location is excellent. We really enjoyed nearby Bayswater beach. It was also a great jumping off point for trips to Chester, Luneberg, and Peggy’s Cove. Highly recommend this stay to anyone wanting a tranquil stay in a beautiful and welcoming home in NS.

We've stayed at this Airbnb multiple times, and it consistently offers a comfortable and enjoyable experience. The space is always clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped, with a stunning ocean view that never gets old. It's a reliable choice for both short and long stays. Highly recommend!

Literally the best ever Airbnb we've ever stayed at... Brian and Heidi were great hosts, communication was very efficient and extremely helpful, they ensured everything we could possibly need was in place at the house. The house itself was located in a peaceful, beautiful, secluded spot with great outdoor spaces, and indoors is carefully set out with an amazingly stocked kitchen with appliance and utensil thinkable, a comfortable living area with smart TV, lightening quick WiFi, efficient AC/heating and plenty of spaces to sit Both bedrooms feature extremely comfortable beds, masses of storage space, and plenty of books to help pass the time. My only issue is that we can't give this place 6 stars! Thank you again Brian and Heidi for providing such an amazing place to stay for 2 Brits who had the greatest 2 weeks in your home 😄😄

This was an amazing stay! We really enjoyed our time at this location. The suite had a great modern cottage vibe. It’s cozy and comfortable. Although there was no range, they provided and hot plate and air fryer for convenience! That was great for us as we were there for a longer stay, we could prepare meals at home instead. The location was close to bus routes and sunny side mall. Also easy access to Dartmouth road or Bedford hiway! We thank Amit and his family for their wonderful hospitality!

JP was very friendly and we enjoyed the animals.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at AJ's place. The house was perfectly clean and thoughtfully appointed - the kitchen had absolutely everything we could think of and we felt like we were at home immediately. The bed was luxurious in both size and comfort and had pillows perfectly suited to us. I can't rave enough about the overall comfort of this home and the views that accompanied it were brilliant. I really enjoyed watching the geese and ducks on the lake every morning and loved the privacy of the property as a whole. AJ was thoughtful and prompt in all their communications and super helpful with any queries we had. Highly recommend!

We had an absolutely incredible experience here. I would recommend this airbnb to everyone! Ample space, fabulous amenities and great host. The kayaks and vast backyard and access to the lake was a game changer. Would definitely come back!

We had a great stay at Sammi’s place! The home was clean, cozy, anduser friendly. The bed was comfortable, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches like fresh towels, coffee, and local recommendations. The location was nice and quiet—close to restaurants and grocery stores. We even had a nice surprise of seeing two deer in the front and back yard. Sammi was very responsive and made check-in and check-out super easy. The only thing to note is that there wasn’t a TV in the living room, which would’ve been nice for relaxing in the evenings. Not a dealbreaker, but worth mentioning. We used our iPad to watch TV as we don't like to watch TV in bed (our preference) so no big deal. Excellent High-speed WiFi. Close to the highway and downtown Halifax. Overall, a wonderful stay. We’d happily come back when we are in Halifax again and recommend it to others!

Michele's house was lovely! Beautiful decor and spotlessly clean! It's located in a fantastic, quite neighborhood. Michele was wonderful to deal with. She was very responsive and made sure we had a comfortable stay. I would definitely recommend Michele's place!

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 place was just what we needed for our stay in Halifax. We were within walking distance of local restaurants and a cycle shop where we could rent bikes. The inside was cosy, clean, and really made you feel welcome. Andrea was responsive and a lovely host! Would definitely recommend. :)

It was a beautiful place to stay for a weekend to unwind. When we first arrived, there was a challenge that was beyond Renee and Tim's control -- the power went out in the surrounding area. They handled it well to make sure we had what we needed and we ended up having a very good weekend.

We had an incredible trip at Candace's place. The home was stunning and was perfect for our group of 6. If you have the opportunity to book your trip to Halifax here, I would definitely recommend!

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!

A great home in an absolutely beautiful area of Halifax. The family loved the spacious accommodations and the beautiful outdoor seating areas overlooking the water and Yacht Club. Would definitely stay here again. Hosts were quick to respond with any questions we had.

A truly magical place. Location is ideal to visit so many different towns, trails and excursions. However, starting the morning off on the deck watching the sunrise and then ending the day cooking on the BBQ. The house is fully equipped with every kitchen gadget needed. 3 good sized bedrooms with comfortable mattresses. There is a wonderful community feeling.
