Great family home just outside halifax!

We had a great at this VRBO! The location was wonderful, with it being a short drive into downtown Halifax and having the local market and the Birch and Anchor pub so nearby. The accommodation itself was very spacious, with large bedrooms and really great common area in the kitchen and living room, which was great for spending time with our group. Additionally, having the property/balcony overlook the harbour was quite nice, especially at sunset. No complaints at all, would happily come back.

Scenic, peaceful, and easy to get to downtown

Our week in this house was enjoyable. The elevated deck looking out across the water was spectacular. The house is vintage but in good repair; everything was clean, tidy and worked perfectly. We usually cook a lot in our rentals but didn’t here because of the many nice restaurants in the region. Parking was adequate, if a little tight for our larger pickup truck. We absolutely would like to return.

Not the place we were expecting

There were a few issues that caught us by surprise. However, when we raised them with the host, she was responsive and ultimately, made it right.

The property worked out well for us. The location was good and the house was very clean. My owner recommendation is the number of showers. One shower for four guests is not enough.

Good place for family to meet.

Lovely house. Comfortable beds. Best for older kids and adults given the spiral staircase.
