Home was as advertised and very clean. Neighborhood very walkable with a lake very close. Good location to explore the surrounding communities. Host was attentive and helpful. Beds comfortable, kitchen pretty well furnished, tho no oven except toaster over. BBQ on back porch was a nice thing to have. All in all a grand experience

Perfect Location!

My wife and I needed a place to stay as I was attending a conference at Cole Harbour High School and this suited us perfectly!The rental was clean and in a quiet area while being extremely well located to amenities (four minute drive to Mic Mac Mall, 11 minutes to Costco, 20 minutes to downtown Halifax in rush hour traffic).Communication with the host was top notch and I felt like I would have no issue getting into contact if there were any issues.Excellent stay!

Really enjoyed our stay

The unit was clean and had everything we needed. It was very nice to sit in the backyard and listen to the water and look at the beautiful plants . Was an easy trip to Halifax when we wanted to sight see. And the neighborhood was nice.

Just like Home

If your are looking for cozy, warm and inviting, this is the place for you. The entire environment feels like home, included it’s friendly neighborhood. The suite is comfortable for one person, however, what it lacks in space, it makes up for in luxury.

Great location to access NA Indigenous Games and comfy spot.

It was a great place to stay….beautiful indoors and the back with the little garden and brook. Serenity! Conveniently location to easily access the water…Lake Banook is great for walks and for running, water activities. Can walk to grocery store and the lobster roll truck is right at the end of the street. Easy to access the bridge to Halifax activities, waterfront shops restaurants and galleries. Lovely quiet tree lined area. Owner contact and check in to ensure all is well…excellent quality care. Thank you!

The unit was well appointed and location was excellent. The host was also very responsive to any questions / comments. The backyard was nice and big with a firepit - it's a shame we couldn't use it because of the Province-wide fire ban. The only reason I can't give this listing a 5 Star rating is because of the noise. I acknowledge this listing is clear that some noise is to be expected, but we felt (especially with kids) that it was excessive. We could clearly hear walking around, furniture being moved, and discussions late at night when we were trying to sleep.

What a refreshing place this was! I stayed with my partner and a friend of his and we enjoyed our two nights very much. We went to nearby Dartmouth and Halifax for the local farmer’s markets (HIGHLY recommend) and got fresh food which we got to cook in the charming kitchen. Nightlife is a short ride away. The amenities of the place are great. Updated bathroom and shower. The bedrooms are a comfortable size. Backyard is fantastic! The place was also SUPER clean and had all the essentials to cook etc. On top of how cute and well furnished the place was, the neighborhood was quiet and the neighbors were friendly and gave excellent recommendations like taking the ferry between the farmer’s markets - a must! The hosts gave simple timely instructions and felt available in case there was a hitch. Entry and key system mercifully easy as heck. Honestly I can’t say enough good things. I know I’ll be back.
