Family-friendly holiday rentals in South End, Halifax

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 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.

Great little spot - sweet neighborhood, walking distance to Quinpool. Easy Parking on street or narrow driveway. Very communicative owners and easy check in.

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 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!

Paul is a great host. The suite was cozy and well-appointed extremely clean. Great location. Highly recommend.

This was a very convenient location for our trip as it was close to the harbour and along a bus route which made getting around very easy. The apartment was very clean and tidy when we arrived and we had what we needed to make our stay comfortable. Since it is a basement we did encounter a few moths who chose to dwell with us but it was not unmanageable. The instructions given for accessing the apartment and house rules were very clearly laid out which made checking in and out easy.

We had an incredible trip at Candace's place. The home was stunning and was perfect for our group of 6. If you have the opportunity to book your trip to Halifax here, I would definitely recommend!

We've always stayed at one of Paul's units in this heritage building and we're never disappointed. You cannot beat the location if you have family or friends going to Dalhousie University. It's a short walk to campus (10 minutes) and there's an Atlantic Superstore 1 minute away on foot. The waterfront and restaurants are all waking distance as well. Our apartment was clean and tidy had a parking space! Although there is no central air conditioning, we did have a window AC, which did job keeping the place cool.

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!

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.

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).

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.

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 loved this place!! It’s a little gem. The views are to die for and the house, albeit basic, has everything you need. So comfortable and homely. John was very helpful, easy to contact and very responsive. We are already planning our return next year. Didn’t want to leave!

We really enjoyed our stay at Adam and Ryan's apartment. Everything was exactly as listed and we enjoyed that we could walk everywhere we wanted to go. The waterfront was a nice little walk downhill, and the Citadel while a bit of a hike wasn't too bad and the weather was great for it. Lots of great restaurants within walking distance as well. While the listing notes that on-street parking g had some restrictions, we didn't have any issues finding somewhere to park. We would definitely stay here again the next time we visit Halifax!
