Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Nova Scotia

This is a beautiful place to stay. Lots of space beautiful view of Mahone bay

This is a beautiful cabin on Hayden Lake with a rustic camp feel complete with modern amenities. We loved having the wood stove to warm up on the cool mornings. For those looking for a getaway in the wilds of Guysborough county, this is a great place to do it.

Another great stay. The kitchen has all the amenities you would need. The place is clean and welcoming with comfortable beds, lovely big bathrooms. But the best part of the stay are the evenings out on the deck watching the ever changing views across the Minas basin over to Cape Blomidon where the setting sun provides spectacular sunsets every evening and if you’re lucky you’ll catch sight of the bald eagles that live nearby

We loved our stay at Eric and Jenny’s! Very well designed and appointed, with everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable and everything was super clean. We loved exploring the area and hope to come back soon!

My only regret is not staying longer! My family loved this airbnb. It’s the best airbnb I’ve ever stayed at! Clean, beautiful view, comfy couch, super comfortable beds, a sauna, a massive collection of games/books/toys and even records and a record player plus so many more amenities. I could go on and on about everything we loved about this place. I would go out of my way to stay here again!!

Sasha was an exceptional host. The space was thoughtfully designed down to the finest detail—beautiful, tranquil surroundings that felt both relaxing and homey. It truly felt like a retreat, even while travelling for work. I’ll most certainly be back. Thank you again, Sasha!

It's our second stay and we are already looking forward to our third. In spite of the rain we were totally at peace and rest with the beauty of the surroundings and the accommodations. It's a place of total quiet and simplicity. Thanks Kate!

Had a wonderful weekend vacation away to Henry and Jessica’s cottage, it was very peaceful and relaxing the hottub was amazing the cottage had beautiful scenery it was amazing, we all went in the lake on the canoe and paddle boards and we went swimming in the lake and enjoyed the beautiful fireplace down by the lake. We will definitely be back in the near future and would recommend this air bnb to anyone ! Was the perfect getaway close to home.

we loved staying here for 4 days! it was walkable to so many amazing pubs, restaurants, and the water front. the place was clean, spacious, and exactly what we were looking for. we will definitely be back!

Absolutely gorgeous pristine property with a beautiful fire pit and seating area. Great little walking trail that surrounds the property and follows along a brook. The hosts had every light clearly labeled in the house for which was which this was great when your unfamiliar with the spot. The hosts had clear instructions posted on the door how to access the walking trail, how to start the BBQ, how to start the firepit. Although not beach weather during my stay the airbnb was equipped with beach chairs a cooler and beach toys and boogie boards for guest use and also was all Clearly labeled stating so. Bathroom had extra "if you forget" toiletries. Small coffee area fully stocked with small snacks and espresso machine with full stock of pods. Another great feature was the bedroom had a small rechargeable fan you could use as hand held or lay on your pillow if your a fan person I loved this. Definetly recommend this airbnb and the hosts 5*

Beautiful beautiful beautiful! I was in Halifax for two days on business and I am so happy i took the trip. Well worth the commute to the city.

I rented Steve and Mary Ann’s Airbnb for my son and his girlfriend and they loved the accommodations, very comfortable and quiet… they said it was the best sleep they had during their vacation to Nova Scotia.

The pictures actually don’t do this place justice! It was SO much nicer than we anticipated. It was so pretty, well put together, with a BEAUTIFUL view. Morgan was quick to respond/easy to reach if needed, and very welcoming/friendly. Great location. Definitely will be recommending.

Brenton’s place was a sight for sore eyes — truly a traveler’s delight! From the very first message, we felt warmly welcomed. We loved everything about the space: how spotless it was, the pleasant scent upon entering, and the well-equipped kitchen. Every detail felt thoughtfully considered — nothing was left to chance. We felt a genuine connection with Brenton and Wynand as our hosts. Their beautiful artwork on the walls elevated the atmosphere and delighted our senses. They also shared great tips on places to visit, which we thoroughly enjoyed. This is exactly what Airbnb is meant to be: a real place, real connections, and an unforgettable experience to carry with us as cherished memories. Thank you again for opening your home to us during our travels. It’s hosts like you who remind us why we love this community and continue exploring the world through Airbnb.

Henry's place was spotless! Exactly like the pictures, the appartment was ultra clean, comfortable, well designed and stocked with more than the necessities. It is a few minutes drive from downtown Halifax and near really nice hiking trails (Pennant Point, Duncan's Cove, Pot Lake loop). My friend and I had a wonderful time and would definitively stay at Henry's again if we were to come back to Halifax!

Great spot, super unique. Perfect for a getaway not far from the beaten path.

Staying at Nancy’s place will always be one of the highlights of our 4 week holiday. Lovely bed linens, bathrobes(!) and plenty of soft towels were so nice to have. The apartment is very nicely appointed, with ample dishes, cookware cutlery and miscellaneous pantry goods. While St.John’s popular restaurants are less than 20 min walk away, it was wonderful option to be able to eat in. We enjoyed shopping at the wonderful St.John Market for fresh meats, seafood and produce. All were easy to prepare here. Nancy was so cheerful whenever we interacted by text. I’d happily stay again and will recommend to friends and family.

We had a wonderful stay. The location was excellent for attending a nearby conference and exploring downtown Halifax. The apartment is spacious and clean. Andrea was also great to communicate with and very accommodating.

In town for a conference and had a fantastic stay. Owners are friendly and helpful. The place was lovely. It had everything we needed. Great view. Very nicely decorated. Spacious balcony. Washer and dryer was very handy.

thank you! A cozy little apartment close to everything we needed. Sebastian was right on time and very helpful.

Truly an incredible location, could not have asked for a better spot with to stay with a pup! You're right across the street from a beautiful park, there's an outdoor brewery, ice cream and coffee shop right around the corner, and the waterfront is close by. The home was beautiful and well stocked. The bed was super comfortable but the pull out couch not so much, traveling with my Dad we switched off on who got the bed but just something to think about if you're needing to use the couch. Katie and Darlene were very kind, responsive and helpful hosts throughout our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Halifax and highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to visit.

Great location. Very peaceful! Daniel was helpful, responsive and friendly! The place was beautiful, hot tub was great to relax in. Little touches like the basket of snacks, robes and slippers and towel art made it even better!

This is an absolutely beautiful condo - completely up to date, tastefully decorated, and had everything we required. The location is in easy walking distance of downtown Charlottetown and many pubs and restaurants. Dico was very accommodating and easy to work with. I highly recommend Dico's place, and I hope to return before too long. Thanks Dico!

We all enjoyed our stay at Erica’s! She was beyond accommodating to us for our itinerary of events for the night. It’s a very short drive to downtown Halifax! The property is exactly how described. Beautiful, spacious, well laid out. We felt very comfortable and it’s very quiet. The tiered patio is dreamy for entering and lovely background for capturing photos. I hope to stay again in the near future :)
