Vacation rentals with a firepit in South End, Halifax

Absolutely loved our 12 nights stay at this stunning Airbnb in Halifax! We came as a group of 10 for my brother’s wedding and the house was beyond perfect. The place is massive, clean, elegant, and super private—ideal for a big family gathering. The ground floor living area became our favorite hangout spot, giving us unforgettable family moments. With 5 spacious bedrooms and a driveway that easily fit over 10 cars, we never felt crowded even when we hosted a dinner with friends. The host was outstanding—very responsive and helpful. We had a minor issue with a shower, and they quickly sent over a video to guide us through, which was incredibly thoughtful. Also, when we reported a small accidental damage, the host graciously waived it. That kind of support is rare. Advice for future guests: If you're planning a trip with family or friends, this is hands-down the best place to stay in Halifax. Gorgeous views, amazing walking paths, and everything you need—restaurants, groceries nearby

The spot was perfect for us, a great little cottage by the lake. The lake was gorgeous! Chris was very responsive for all of our changes in schedule and questions we had and even left us a little welcome gift of some snacks and drinks. It was incredible and we would stay there again! also it is much closer to Halifax than you think! Turn on tolls when looking because everyone uses the toll bridge and it's just 1.25$ at time of writing and it saves 20 minutes to get into Halifax!

This was a perfect spot for a team retreat! There was great space to relax and work with wonderful amenities. The team loved cooking together and e we started day 2 with a quick drive to the beach for a walk. The house was spotless and had everything we needed. Team members travelling in from Ontario and NB and metro found it easy to get to. We will absolutely be back next year!

Very cozy place! It was right by the water with a beautiful view. Very convenient as well. We were about a 30 minutes drive from Downtown Halifax. Ashley was very responsive and helpful. Beautiful place and amazing host! I'd stay there again. :)

Matthew’s place was the perfect location for us for a sports tournament weekend with our family. It was a relaxing and beautiful place to come back to at the end of the day. My teens enjoyed the video game systems on the big screen in the basement while my husband and I were able to watch a movie upstairs. We were able to make some small meals in the well equipped kitchen. The mattress in the master bedroom was the best I ever slept on. Matthew was very responsive when I had to reach out to him with a question. Thank you!

Amazing experience that was exactly same which we were looking for so clean and tidy place One should stay

Our large family enjoyed a 5 night stay at the house and it is easily one of the nicest in our memory of AirBnB homes. There was lots of space for our group and the little kids loved exploring outside. We hosted some extra family one evening for dinner and found everything needed in the well appointed kitchen. The beds were very comfortable too! We loved everything about this home. It's little out of the city but that was ok for us. A memorable trip for us!

Jennifer is a SUPERB host. She was Sooo nice, always recommending things we could do to keep our family occupied, she’s a very pleasant person. We felt right at home in her spot, very clean clutter free and NOT to mention her going out the way putting up holiday decorations and a Christmas Tree for my 5 year old to enjoy her annual Canadian Christmas. It was like we had a fairy godmother always watching out for us. We appreciate that soo much.

Great location to stay!

We loved the location central to going to Halifax and Mahone Bay and Lundenburg also for going to our next place. Clean neat and tidy great shower all the amenities you need for a short stay!!

We really enjoyed our stay, wish we had more time to explore the area.

This was the most amazing place. We spent a week here and Everything you needed or wanted was right in this place. The surroundings were peaceful, very inviting. Gillian checked in with us halfway through our stay to see if we needed anything. The beds were very comfy. The firepit is beautiful there was a fully stacked wood pile to use for the fire. There were lots of chairs all around to sit outside or out by the the dock. We would stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you Gillian and Scott for your hospitality.

A great place to relax and unwind. Hot tub was perfect and super clean. Host was very attentive.

We stayed for 6 months and it was absolutely wonderful! There were lots of beaches and trails nearby to take our dog. The views were amazing! We even saw a seal once! The apartment was beautiful as well, especially the kitchen (as someone who loves to cook and bake it was perfect!) It's the perfect distance from Halifax if you don't like the bustle of a city but still want to do some sightseeing if you don't mind driving a bit! Overall we loved every part of our stay :)

We had nothing short of an amazing stay at Tee’s place. We had the easiest check in, everything was so clean and looked exactly like the pictures, we enjoyed the hot tub every chance we got, and we loved that he provided us with a speaker!! Tee was so accommodating and easy to communicate with, which we really appreciated. It was the perfect location, away from the hustle and bustle, and a short 5 minute walk to the bus stop.. This was so convenient for us, since we were able to buy a bus pass and take the bus to the water. It was also a 5 minute walk to a bunch of cute shops, restaurants and cafes which is super helpful if you ever just want to go grab a quick coffee or a pastry, or go for dinner close by. We definitely will be back and would recommend Tee’s place to anyone looking to stay in Halifax. Thanks Tee!

Excellent host and very hospitable. The accommodation was very clean. Location is great because it is very close to Dalhousie.

Great little cabin in a quiet neighborhood. Quick 10 min drive to downtown for shops, restaurants, and more.

Love the privacy and was far enough from other cabins to not interfere. Bed was super comfy. Will visit again

Everything whas perfect a really peaceful place and the cedar hot tub wow 🤩

LOVED the Fish Store so much! Great views of the water, great hospitality, great fires with sounds of the ocean, cozy atmosphere. Great paradise away from home! Laura and Jeff were very welcoming and hospitable!

Great spot to visit for a weekend getaway! Even though the cabin is attached to their house, the hosts made us feel secluded and welcome.

Such a beautiful place and our hosts went over and above, loved the tranquility, view, gardens, ducks, and even deer. Can’t say enough about the wonderful food that was prepared and delivered to our door. We were spoiled, and enjoyed meeting and watching a sunset with Kim, Craig and family. Until next time, wishing you much more hosting. Hugs Grace and Denny.

Took an impromptu trip to NS for the weekend and lucked out with a vacancy at the Lakeside Lookout cabin. Very quiet, peaceful and serene surroundings made our stay more than enjoyable, topped off with a clean and welcoming cabin. Interested to see all the other things that they will build and do with this property. Will return in the future for sure.

This place really was a “Peace of Nature” although some amenities were shut down because of the colder months approaching it was nothing shy of beautiful. With a lake view from our bed and stunning sky views in the evening. Staff were never far away should we have any issues such as running out of propane. Clean cozy and the perfect shut off from nature. 10/10 recommend
