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 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!!!

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!

Beautiful new 6 bedroom lakehouse close to Halifax
Honestly, this place is gorgeous! I could have sat by the water for hours. But my family had too much fun catching up and playing games inside. Everything was perfect - clean and exactly as described. I can’t wait to go back.

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!

The Nordique Retreat
We stayed with as a family of 4 for two nights - our 2 little girls loved the comfiness and coziness of Kelly's place - full of fluffy pillows, blankets, and lots of little places to snuggle in. There was a nice big kitchen to cook in, and the hot tub and pool were awesome. We would stay here again :)

Majestic Retreat on Schmidt Lake
Weekly house rentals

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*
While our stay was short, we had everything we needed. It was nice and close to the Dal campus where we were moving our daughter out of residence. Walking distance to shopping and restaurants. The space was clean and welcoming. We would stay at Ashley's again.

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.

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! :)

Pinecrest - New home with hot tub
This was our second extended stay at Francois's, and just like the first, his hospitality, the location, and the lovely property exceeded our expectations and made us feel right at home. Francois was a wonderful host, quick to communicate and extremely helpful. The home was spotless and well appointed and modern. The property is Serene and peaceful for anyone looking to get away from the city while avoiding a lengthy trip. Would highly recommend and hope to come back one day!

Hot Tub | Hubley Haven | BBQ | 20 min to Halifax
Lovely space and responsive hosts. Thank you!

Historic downtown Halifax 5-bedroom home
We absolutely loved staying in Ashley’s space - don’t think twice about booking this home for your next stay in Halifax! Our favourite thing about the BNB was how walkable everything in downtown Halifax was. Ashley as a host is a 10/10: with quick responses, awesome recommendations and a super clear way of communicating. We would definitely stay here again! ✨

The Northender!
Colin’s place was absolutely beautiful. Lots of stoked amenities, if you forgot it, it was there. Such a quick drive downtown yet quiet from the noise of being downtown. Beautiful place. Would stay again.

4 BR | Luxury Modern Getaway home in West Bedford
Fantastic modern house, beautifully decorated. Everything that you would need including toiletries. Would highly recommend and very friendly hosts.
