Beachfront vacation rentals in Halifax

Our stay at Terence Bay was incredible. The location is stunning—right on the beach with beautiful views of a lighthouse. My kids loved being able to climb on the rocks, go hiking along the seashore and even find sea glass right in the backyard! We couldn’t have asked for more and my family didn’t want our time to end! The property was spotless and even better than the pictures. Our two kids especially loved the bunk bed room. Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean was pure bliss. Danielle, our host, was fantastic—always helpful and attentive. You could tell that she genuinely cared about us having a great trip. She offered us tips and help when needed. We’ll definitely be recommending this spot to our friends and family.

We had a wonderful stay af Ethel's! she had do many nice touches, duch as many toys for kids. we would highly recommend staying here!

This is a beautiful little gem. Amazing place, stunning views and easy to work with the host. Definitely coming back!

This cottage is the top of our list! Excellent customer service and guest experience but nothing can outshine the great location overlooking the water! We enjoyed it all, nights in the hot tub and sauna, cold plunging in the bay, hiking and running the trails from the house and easy trips throughout town for delicious food and coffee. On the raining days we sat by the propane fire place reading. Can’t wait to come back in the sunshine to use the paddle boards and bikes.

This was a perfect getaway home. Very comfortable and relaxing. A great view of the ocean. The front windows let in so much of the morning light ; I absolutely loved hanging out in front of the window in a big comfy chair or sitting on the front porch drinking coffee in the mornings and wine in the evenings. One does have to drive to get anywhere but the drives are relaxing and the scenery is beautiful. Grocery stores only a few miles away. A great beach also a few miles away. We weren’t able to experience any local restaurants unless there was outdoor seating as we had our dog, a Great Dane, with us. But that was completely okay with us as we just really wanted to get away from the craziness of the world for a week! The host was very responsive when we had questions and very friendly. Highly recommend this little charm!

I can't begin to explain the scerene beauty that this place Tania's place offers. Stunningly beautiful views and a sunrise that leaves you breathless. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful, and their amazing dogs made the whole place feel like home. We will definitely be back. If I could ever recommend somewhere to be near Halifax but out of this city this hidden gem is an absolute must!!!

This was the most amazing place. We spent a week here and Everything you needed or wanted was right in this place. The surroundings were peaceful, very inviting. Gillian checked in with us halfway through our stay to see if we needed anything. The beds were very comfy. The firepit is beautiful there was a fully stacked wood pile to use for the fire. There were lots of chairs all around to sit outside or out by the the dock. We would stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you Gillian and Scott for your hospitality.

Perfect cottage for a family. Wish we stayed longer. We will return.

The secret beach house was exactly as described and very comfortable. It is surrounded by beautiful beach and peaceful environment. The place has well stocked amenities in the bathroom and kitchen. Courtenay is a very gracious host and was able to accommodate our special request. She was very kind to provide the option of early check and late check out. This airbnb has high quality amenities and furnishings throughout. Courtenay is very friendly and responsive. Watching the ducks run through the yard was a pleasure to watch. They are adorable. Would recommend the place to anyone looking for an amazing guest experience.

Absolutely loved our stay! The location was peaceful and right on the water with an amazing view. The space was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed. The host was friendly and responsive. A perfect girls weekend getaway!

The suite was open concept and beautiful inside. The boat dock on the lake was a wonderful place to sit in the morning with coffee. The bathroom was very nice. I would have liked a non slip rubber mat in the tub and grab bar on the side as the tub was a high sided tub. Over all we made out fine but my wife had to be very careful getting in and out of the shower as she has balance issues and walk with a cane. The master bedroom king bed was extremely comfortable. The 2nd bedroom has twin beds the were very firm but ok Galen was very pleasant to visit with and came twice to check on us. Much appreciated the attention. The nearest store(Sobeys) is about 5km away. The end culdasac and area is very quiet

This place is stunning! Within 5 minutes of arriving we knew this was going to be a great trip. Richie was very helpful and the arrival was smooth. The location is so picturesque; the view is amazing. The 3 beaches are completely private. The walk through the small path to the rocks was a great discovery and we spent time just sitting on the rocks enjoying the scenery. The house is beautiful and everything you could possibly need was provided. Even the towels were so soft and fluffy. The wood burning stove was a real treat on a chilly evening. The house is spotlessly clean and very well decorated. It’s a quiet area but not far from Peggy’s Cove or Halifax. Overall I can recommend this property enough. If Richie ever decides to sell I’ll be first in the queue. Overall a fantastic stay and we’ll definitely be back. Thanks Richie :)

The place is cozy, wonderful, clean. Jordan was a great host. A lot of things to do around and it allow you to see Peggy's Cove at every hour. We loved our stay there. Great place, great host. Recommand it 🥇

Tanya's place was our #1 favorite Airbnb that was stayed at during our mother/daughter trip around Nova Scotia. The location is secluded but you are a short 15 minute drive to restaurants and another 15 max to Peggy's Cove. The house is so beautiful and amazing that is actually sits on top of a rock (the front porch is the rock)! Many opportunities to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful view of the water. The beds were THE most comfortable and amenities like washer and dryer were great as well. We chatted with Tanya the morning we were leaving and she gave us a walk around of future plans for another building on site, which only lead to my mom and I making the immediate decision that we WILL BE BACK! Next time we will stay for longer than just one night, it is worth spending several days here.

This is such a beautiful and peaceful place. The ocean view is stunning! We enjoyed our stay at this location and felt right at home. I highly recommend Greg’s place!

Highly recommend this place and the host is very responsive. All was great with Thanh. We’ll be back soon to this beautiful cottage.

Raquel’s place, “Vista Del Mar,” is absolutely gorgeous!! The open concept of the main level allows for guests to dine and intermingle while enjoying the picturesque view of St. Margaret’s Bay. Raquel was quick to respond to messages and was a pleasure to talk to! A short scenic drive to Peggy’s Cove and Halifax. Would definitely recommend this spot to anyone travelling to Nova Scotia. Thank you Raquel for having our group at your place!

It was an interesting stay for the host and for our group. First, I got a message that the air conditioning had failed the day before we arrived and the repair people were not available until after our stay. So the hosts put fans in all of the rooms! Then the hurricane came and it was not safe to stay. We left the day the hosts were coming to secure the house for the storm. And they initiated a refund for the days we could not stay! You can’t ask for more from hosts! The house is lovely and a great place to stay!

Great large house rental right on the Atlantic ocean. Came with outdoor firepit and BBQ. Had a great stay with 6 guests.

absolutely stunning view and was so quiet. house was very clean and had everything we needed. absolutely recommend.

We had a family gathering here. The place was clean, big, lots of things to do (inside and out) and we felt right at home. Deborah was very responsive and accommodating. The view and dock were amazing and the deck outside was plenty big for us all. When the weather turned we went under the deck. The place is perfect for getting everyone together. Would definitely book again.

Great location on a very clean and peaceful lake. Swimming , kayaks and paddleboards are available right off the private dock. My son and I enjoyed paddling around the lake with islands, walking trails and a natural area with diving board to explore. The house is on a peninsula so while it’s very private , you also get pretty views on 3 sides. The house is stocked with everything you need for meals, movie watching , games (indoor & outdoor) as wells as a fire pit area. Very rustic feel but everything clean and air conditioned so we were comfortable when we did spend time in the house. Lastly , we were able to get to the Halifax waterfront for a very enjoyable meal in only 35 mins. Closer options in Sackville & Dartmouth as well. We also appreciated having a large Sobey’s grocery store only 10 min drive away.

A great place for a weekend getaway. There are so many things to do the rain didn't get us down!

Jeff’s place was amazing. Extremely spacious and clean, we felt right at home.
