Family-friendly vacation rentals in Timberlea

Such a beautiful AirBnB. It was perfect for our family of 6 adults and 1 infant. Spacious and wonderful views. The kitchen was perfect for preparing meals. Lots of outdoor sitting areas, and we enjoyed the hot tub, outdoor fireplace and canoeing. A great location for exploring Lunenburg, Mahone Bay, and several beaches. Melissa was a wonderful host 😊. You won’t regret staying at Three Sheep’s to the Wind.

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 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.

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!!

Beautiful house, incredible views from the house and just a short walk to the beach from the house. Lots of games for adults and kids. Very well equipped in terms of plates cutlery etc we did not see any wildlife but we know there were some outdoor nighttime critters because the Easter eggs we hid outdoors for the kids were almost all gone by morning!

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. :)

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.

My wife, friends and I had a great time in Nova Scotia and Candace's location was perfect for us.

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!!!

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 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!

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

We had the perfect stay at Lily on the Lake. We rented for a week to transition from moving out of province. Everyone felt right at home and the house is absolutely gorgeous. Every little detail well thought out. Everything you could ever need was available. I started each morning with a plunge in the lake which was breathtaking and so quiet. They had a pack and play and so many fun toys for my daughter- she loved it. Beds were comfy and cozy with tons of linens, pillows and blankets available. Kitchen was well stocked with essentials. Dawn was so lovely to communicate with before and during our stay. Cannot recommend enough- we plan on having friends stay here when they come to visit just so we can go for another peaceful dip in the lake or cozy cuddle on the couch.

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.

Chef Garrin’s and Patty’s place was a perfect home away from home and a great place to explore the Halifax and Dartmouth areas. Our space was beautifully furnished, spotless, and perfectly suited for all of our needs. We especially enjoyed sitting out on the deck in the evening, watching the lights across the water, under the lovely Sherpa blankets they supplied. Can’t recommend it enough to others!

Thank you for a wonderful stay! It was the ideal spot for a peaceful and relaxing visit, right on the bay! Our favourite part of the day was late afternoon, sitting on the deck with a glass of wine and watching the sailboats return. The accommodation had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We appreciated the washing machine and dryer, and the bbq - it really made us feel at home. The only thing I missed was having cable or a radio to catch up on news - but then again, sometimes it is good to disconnect from the world. We highly recommend this vacation spot to anyone looking to visit the South Shores area (Chester / Mahone Bay).

Just loved the location. Beautiful view and close to downtown 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.

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.
