Magical and Unique Water views 10 min to Downtown

The most amazing home located between Bedford & Halifax, this wonderful home provides a great base to explore all of Nova Scotia!
Well known China Town on the waterfront for an evening meal.
Close to all major highways. Approx. 10 minutes to downtown Halifax. Movie theaters, Costco, many box stores, grocery stores approximately 5 minutes away.
Approximately 30 minutes to famous Peggys Cove, Chester, Mahone Bay and Lunenburg (40 minutes).
Fabulous park and many hiking trails close by.
The local deer will greet you on the property daily and you will often see them walking along this old fashioned street .
- Two decks (private deck from one of the bedrooms) and a side yard with a patio area provides a fantastic balance of indoor/outdoor living space with breathtaking views of the Bedford Basin.
- Centrally located between Bedford and Halifax, travelling in town, or province wide is easy!
- Beautiful lot with abundant wildlife.
- Custom floors with inlays
- Live edge bar top
- Carrera antique marble fireplace (non operational)
- Spiral staircase
- Bedroom 1 on the main floor has Queen sized canopy bed

Just behind that is a cute little nook next to the non-operational fireplace. There is also a comfortable sitting area to watch TV.

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.

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.

Could be better if maintenance was done correctly

The rental price is high and we expected better. Several small lacks of maintenance on the house. We still enjoyed our stay in Halifax but we will not return to this place.

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.

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.

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.
