a private oasis

Enjoy this spacious two story house located between the MacDonald and MacKay bridges! We have everything needed for a relaxing stay, including a comfortable king bed, wifi, TV with 4K Apple TV, full kitchen, and a private back yard with a patio. There is a second airbnb unit at the front of the house, however, there are no shared spaces and no doorway connecting the two units. I live here for part of the year and rent it out short term while away. If you smoke please do so outside of the house.

Comfortable Right DT Dartmouth

Enjoy a stylish experience at this centrally located place. Right on a main street of downtown Dartmouth while still fairly peaceful, this street level apartment is a decent size and outfitted with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The bathroom is very small with a tiny shower, but everything is new and again well stocked with provisions. Just down the street from shops, cafés, the ferry to Downtown Halifax/Waterfront, and parks. A pleasant view for being a downtown apartment.
