Family-friendly vacation rentals in Halifax

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).

We had a great stay. Perfect location as we went for our son’s convocation at SMU. Easy to get walk to downtown from there. It is on a busy street with people right outside at the bus stop so we were a little nervous about that but it turned out to be fine with very little noise. The apartment had everything we needed.

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!

Great location and lovely home

Catherine's place was the perfect spot! it's very private and is a nice big walk out basement with tall ceilings and a beautiful little backyard. it was very clean and had all the amenities that we needed. The kitchenette is small, but if you plan ahead it's very workable. the location is also very convenient - close to downtown.

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.

One of those rare times when a house described as "stunning" really lives up to it. John's house near Halifax is beautiful and serene, all windows and wood and incredible views out to the water in the cove and ocean beyond. Surrounded by trees and a garden path down to the dock, it feels private but not isolated. Great house on the inside also - spotlessly clean, streamlined so there's no clutter but everything you need, simple but quite beautiful also. Comfortable beds, great kitchen and bathrooms and just full of sunlight. Can't imagine a better spot to relax and recharge, and close to lots of good hiking. John is super friendly and responsive, a great host - look forward to coming back.

Literally the best ever Airbnb we've ever stayed at... Brian and Heidi were great hosts, communication was very efficient and extremely helpful, they ensured everything we could possibly need was in place at the house. The house itself was located in a peaceful, beautiful, secluded spot with great outdoor spaces, and indoors is carefully set out with an amazingly stocked kitchen with appliance and utensil thinkable, a comfortable living area with smart TV, lightening quick WiFi, efficient AC/heating and plenty of spaces to sit Both bedrooms feature extremely comfortable beds, masses of storage space, and plenty of books to help pass the time. My only issue is that we can't give this place 6 stars! Thank you again Brian and Heidi for providing such an amazing place to stay for 2 Brits who had the greatest 2 weeks in your home 😄😄

This was an amazing stay! We really enjoyed our time at this location. The suite had a great modern cottage vibe. It’s cozy and comfortable. Although there was no range, they provided and hot plate and air fryer for convenience! That was great for us as we were there for a longer stay, we could prepare meals at home instead. The location was close to bus routes and sunny side mall. Also easy access to Dartmouth road or Bedford hiway! We thank Amit and his family for their wonderful hospitality!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at AJ's place. The house was perfectly clean and thoughtfully appointed - the kitchen had absolutely everything we could think of and we felt like we were at home immediately. The bed was luxurious in both size and comfort and had pillows perfectly suited to us. I can't rave enough about the overall comfort of this home and the views that accompanied it were brilliant. I really enjoyed watching the geese and ducks on the lake every morning and loved the privacy of the property as a whole. AJ was thoughtful and prompt in all their communications and super helpful with any queries we had. Highly recommend!

JP was very friendly and we enjoyed the animals.

We had an absolutely incredible experience here. I would recommend this airbnb to everyone! Ample space, fabulous amenities and great host. The kayaks and vast backyard and access to the lake was a game changer. Would definitely come back!

Had a wonderful stay! Our host was incredibly helpful and made everything easy. The units were clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It’s just a short drive to downtown, which was super convenient. I highly recommend staying here!

Michele's house was lovely! Beautiful decor and spotlessly clean! It's located in a fantastic, quite neighborhood. Michele was wonderful to deal with. She was very responsive and made sure we had a comfortable stay. I would definitely recommend Michele's place!

My family really enjoyed our stay here! It was such a convenient location. The beds were very cozy and we felt completely at home.

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.

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!!

This place was just what we needed for our stay in Halifax. We were within walking distance of local restaurants and a cycle shop where we could rent bikes. The inside was cosy, clean, and really made you feel welcome. Andrea was responsive and a lovely host! Would definitely recommend. :)

It was a beautiful place to stay for a weekend to unwind. When we first arrived, there was a challenge that was beyond Renee and Tim's control -- the power went out in the surrounding area. They handled it well to make sure we had what we needed and we ended up having a very good weekend.

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!

Quiet, clean, great location, very comfortable and well equipped. I have stayed multiple times. This is my favourite place to stay when I am in town. The host is very responsive and accommodating. Everything here is great - I will be back.

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!

A great home in an absolutely beautiful area of Halifax. The family loved the spacious accommodations and the beautiful outdoor seating areas overlooking the water and Yacht Club. Would definitely stay here again. Hosts were quick to respond with any questions we had.
