Family-friendly vacation rentals in South End, Halifax

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!

This is a slice of heaven on the coast, and very conveniently located to Halifax, Lunenberg and Peggy’s Cove. The hosts have the space beautifully decorated and well stocked for a winter getaway as much as a summer on the shore. We enjoyed skating right out our back door, listening to the waves at sunset in the hot tub, evenings curled up by the fireplace and some family karaoke to boot:) Had a great time all around!

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

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

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!

This location is amazing. Right on the lake. Lots of things to do: swim, kayak, canoe etc. we brought our two you kids and they had the best time. Sunrise/sets are perfect. Highly recommend to anyone. Our dog also enjoyed the location and the lake! We will be back. Michael was also very responsive and helpful!

I had a relaxing couple of days at Annes place, the house was as described in the advertisement and had everything you would need for a stay. Close by to local restaurants/ shops giving you different options during your stay.

We had a lovely escape weekend at this beautiful property. It was secluded and peaceful in the winter woods. The wood stove made it so cosy. Everything you need in a home away from home. We appreciated the thoughtful details. The host was easy to communicate with as well as proactive, explaining everything we needed to know for a great stay including local trails, restaurants and shops. Highly recommended!

Fantastic home. Fantastic view. Fantastic host. Awesome 2 weeks. The kitchen was fully equipped; the shower had great water pressure; the host left lots of space in the shelves and cupboards so there was tons of room to store our own items; barbecue was good-absolutely everything was provided to support a great stay. The host was exceptionally responsive -and accommodating. 5 stars with numerous exclamation marks!!!

Our family loved this cottage! Lots to do, modern conveniences, a beautiful view of the lake - we couldn’t have asked for more & we wished we had planned to stay longer! Next time!

Great location, very cozy and welcoming!

The house is beautiful, spacious, clean, and bright. Everything is well organized and you'll find pretty well everything you will need. Mont is very responsive; any need you have he will deal with it right away. He will welcome you to his home (by phone) when you arrive. If you need anything, text him and it's as good as done. Lastly, the island and general location are spectacular. It's arguably the most beautiful part of Nova Scotia.

What a splendid place to stay. Spectacular sunrises every morning, so relaxing & peaceful. Daun is an exceptional host,lovely lady,very helpful & a pleasure to have a chat with. I would definitely stay again.

We are so grateful to Katelyn & Lee for helping us pull off a magical experience for our family (17 total) who spent 6 days at this gorgeous property. The Anchorage House has plenty of space to gather & lots of nooks for small groups or privacy. There are amble bathrooms, which is essential for a big group. The hot tub was delightful-hosts even stopped by to freshen it mid-stay. They recommended a local caterer, the Savary Plate, who provided incredible meals, but the kitchen is well-equipped for cooking for a large group (which we did one night) and even has a commercial dishwasher! The location is perfect-we made day trips to Lunenburg, Halifax, Peggy’s Cove, and Digby for whale watching—not to mention local beaches minutes away. But we were just as enchanted sitting on the porch or down on the dock (evening kayaking). If characters were unlimited, I could go on and on about this wonderful property, but I also must mention the thoughtfulness of our hosts who felt like friends.

Luxury with a view awaits you at this beautiful house in the hill. Even in the winter, the views from the rooftop hot tub are breathtaking. Very cozy and spacious, and the host thought of every little detail to make our stay special.

WFP &J.P were amazing. We were delighted with our stay and fell in love with Nova Scotia. The animals were an extra unexpected. Gustave will be very bored of Maple. Small review THAT IS NOT A REVIEW. The fridge isn't very big so don't do too big a grocery every time. We arrived with too many things and didn't get in. But again, it's no big deal. There's a grocery store nearby. Sounds good. Just don't have to plan too far in advance if you have a big family like mine. The pool is extraordinary!!!!! Close to lots of beautiful beaches . We had a great time with the family!!!

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.
