Family-friendly holiday rentals in Downtown 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.

Had a great stay.

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.

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.

This was our daughters first vacation out of the province so we were unsure of how it would go as she had just turned 4. We had such a lovely stay at Sarah's cozy lakefront cottage! It was peaceful and quiet — the perfect spot to relax and recharge. The location was great, with easy access to nearby attractions and some beautiful beaches close by as well as some others 1-2 hrs drive away. The host was friendly and made us feel right at home. The beds were really comfortable, which made for a great night’s sleep after days spent exploring. Our daughter was thrilled with all the toys available, and we really enjoyed the selection of board games for some fun family evenings. We’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a calm, family-friendly getaway. We’d love to come back some day - our daughter did not want to come home.

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.

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.

Wonderful cottage by the lake, stocked with everything you could need for long or short stays. The views from the house onto the lake are amazing. Michael is so friendly and welcoming, we will miss his place. Wish we could have stayed longer, and we would definitely stay at one of Michael’s properties again. He made us feel so welcome and at home.

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!!

We had a fantastic weekend getaway at this cozy cottage on Falls Lake! The place was spotless, well-equipped, and had so many thoughtful amenities that made our stay super comfortable. From the fully stocked kitchen to the firepit by the lake, everything was perfect for a relaxing retreat. The weather was sunny and beautiful, and we made the most of the lake during the day and the firepit in the evenings. David, the host, was incredibly welcoming and helpful—he made everything seamless from start to finish. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to unwind in nature with all the comforts of home!

Catherine's place was excellent and she is a great host! She was very responsive and helpful before, during and after booking. She happily accomodated our special requests. Her place is very thoughtfully designed and stocked with everything you could need (better than any other air bnb I've been to!). Lots of nice personal and local touches as well. It is located in a great area - quiet, beautiful beach, and awesome coastal hike. You will not be disappointed! Thank you, Catherine!

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!

JP was very friendly and we enjoyed the animals.

We stayed at Krista and Stephen's place for 2 months in the winter and it was fabulous! The house had so many wonderful amenities and the location was perfect. The dogs loved running around the yard and we were right beside a trail for wonderful morning walks. The sunset and sunrise views from the house are unbelievable. I'd highly recommend!

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!

This was a great place to spend a couple days in Dartmouth - the patio and gardens in the back were the highlight and I spent as much time as I could back there. This will be on the list to rent again next time I’m in town.

Paul & Patti made a special occasion that much more memorable. Our trip was made even better because of their recommendations and local knowledge and genuine care. The kinds of folks you root for in life. The views are stunning. Spend time on the deck as well. Oh, and breakfast was an incredible experience that showcased Chef Garrin’s talents and joy of hospitality.

Catherine’s place is exactly as she described. It is clean, well appointed and comfortable. The pull-out couch is the most comfortable one that I have ever slept on and my aunt said that the bed was also very comfy. Catherine has great books, a fabulous selection of games and other thoughtful touches that make it a good place to stay. We sat out on the back patio in the evening and enjoyed the view of the Bedford Basin and Catherine’s pretty garden. The neighbourhood is residential with lots of lovely trees. It’s a great spot!

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.

We had such a wonderful stay. The property is so beautifully landscaped by Bruce and Leesa. You can see the love and care they put into it. The inside was no exception. It felt warm and inviting. Leesa and Bruce are wonderful people. Very friendly and put us at ease right away. Really really nice couple. Don't think twice about booking this place. You will not be disappointed. We will be coming back and will book Leesa and Bruce's place without a question. Thanks for making us feel so welcomed.
