We had an incredible stay at this property! The location couldn't have been better—just a short walk to great restaurants, shops, and everything the area has to offer. The home itself is a beautiful historic property full of charm and character, while still providing all the comfort and space we needed.Traveling with a large family can be challenging, but this home had more than enough room for everyone to spread out and relax. It was the perfect place to gather, make memories, and enjoy our time together. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique, spacious, and conveniently located place to stay!

Great location and place.

This was perfect for our three generations. Plenty of room to spread out and come together. Walking distance to anything in Halifax proper. Just two blocks or so from the boardwalk and another few up the hill to the Citadel and shopping. Halifax is a great town and we would definitely stay in this house again.
