Too long of a step up and down at entrance - not safe. Broken kitchen bar chair also not safe. Placed it in the basement. Shower floor needs scrubbing. Nice night view off of deck with lights reflecting off of water.

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.

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.

Family Weekend in Halifax
Had a really good weekend in Halifax with Family. The property was in a great location with hiking trails nearby for the dogs and the market across the street. Kitchen was well equipped and it was a nice touch to have some of the basics included like coffee, shampoo etc. Would stay again.

Family visit
Details of this rental were clear & thorough, location is central for Halifax area and easy to get around. We had unusually warm weather for (Sept) so thankfully there was AC and lots of fans for the 4 bedrooms. Kitchen functioned well, and bathroom amenities were welcomed While the property is older & thus less modern it had classic east coast charm. Great place to stay for 4-6 people!

Lovely stay near Halifax
The property is beautiful and gives a gorgeous view of the ocean from the living room and deck area. Area is lovely, very close to the Bedford Farmer's market. Only small thing would be that the air conditioning mentioned is actually a portable air conditioner, not central air. It was very hot during our stay, so the property was quite warm. The hosts were very accommodating though, and even brought over an extra window air conditioner for us, which helped a lot. Host was very responsive and helpful when we had questions during our stay.

Overall a lovely property. The outside needs a little maintenance - window screens, patio... the location was ideal and waking up to views of Bedford basis never gets old. Trees and bushes need trimming, lots of spiders as a result. But a magical place nonetheless.

Night away with the girls!
Great location, lots of space and supplies for own food preparation, nice view, quiet neighborhood. The bed rooms and bathrooms were comfortable and clean. We had a hard time getting the house warm, and there were lots of spider webs and spiders (killed about 10 in 2 hours). All in all we had a great girls night.

Beautiful house with a stunning view
We rented this house for a 2 month stay and it was great! This character house is quite large and the view of the Bedford basin is stunning. We enjoyed having coffee on that beautiful deck, the sunrises were out of this world. Everything we needed was already there, ie, the kitchen is well equipped, extra bed linens, etc. The bedrooms are all beautiful and so unique. The kids were amazed at the deer roaming around the area. Overall a fantastic stay.
