This was a great space for our family of four (two adults, two teen girls) and a comfortable home location for some adventuring in the area. Safe, quiet, nice, neighborhood. Would absolutely stay again.

Love this place!! I brought my family to Sydney for a baseball tournament and didn't want to stay on a hotel for two nights. The cost of the VRBO was comparable to the Holiday Inn Sydney, but how can you beat an entire house with separate bedrooms for two kids! Check-in was a breeze, communication with the Host was easy and we chatted back and forth during the week up to our arrival. The cozy living room with electric fireplace was perfect after playing two games on a cold, rainy day in New Waterford. The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were comfy, and the location was great - 5 minutes from Sobeys, coffee, etc. The neighborhood is also really quiet. Highly recommend.

Check in was easy, and host was responsive. Gear location to act as a hub as our family explored the surrounding area! Very quiet neighbourhood as well!
