Vacation rentals with beach access in Halifax Harbour

Very nice place to stay. The view from the back yard is priceless and is very relaxing .She has everything there to make for a nice evening outside ,patio lights, firepit ,lite up dock and picnic table right on the water. Inside is very clean and cozy and is not lacking for anything that you might need .This is not a place that you want to make any excessive noise as there is another residence right above you.

Umer responded quickly to our inquiries and was easy to communicate with. I would go back in a heartbeat - the place was welcoming and so close to the heart of Halifax. Thanks Umer!

Small and cozy. Host was fantastic and accommodating to us and our dog.

This was our second stay at this Airbnb due to proximity to our family. The place is excellent. The instructions and check in were clear and straightforward. The place is very clean and a great size for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids). We appreciated the extra cot for one of our children which comes with the unit. As an avid runner I also enjoyed daily runs on the extensive trail network across the road. It was very convenient and beautiful. It’s about a 30 min drive to downtown Halifax with plenty of options for grocery/pharmacy etc within a few minutes drive to the unit. I would definitely recommend this unit and I’m sure we will return again in the future. Thanks for the stay!

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.

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 :)

Jenn was super easy to deal with and while we were only in town for one night, it was the perfect little spot for us. The place is clean and comfortable and very near the Shore Club and Hubbards Barn. Thanks again for being so accommodating!

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

The secret beach house was exactly as described and very comfortable. It is surrounded by beautiful beach and peaceful environment. The place has well stocked amenities in the bathroom and kitchen. Courtenay is a very gracious host and was able to accommodate our special request. She was very kind to provide the option of early check and late check out. This airbnb has high quality amenities and furnishings throughout. Courtenay is very friendly and responsive. Watching the ducks run through the yard was a pleasure to watch. They are adorable. Would recommend the place to anyone looking for an amazing guest experience.

We of 4 women going on a trip to NFLD and Evens home was our 2nd stop. WOW, what at beautiful place to stay. Both back and front can be seen with water and beautiful trees. This home was very clean and cozy. Peggy’s Cove is 10 minutes away and not far to see the Bluenose, with to see both. Would highly recommend this home.

I do not have a lot of experience with Airbnb so I did know what to expect. This home and my interactions with the owner Deanna, exceeded my expectations. We needed a large place for our family as we where gathering for a sad event. We all fell in love with the house and Hubbards, any questions where responded with promptly. Deanna was always interested in helping and making our stay a positive one. I could not ask for a more gracious host and would love to stay here again. You can rent this home with complete confidence. If Airbnb ever needs an ambassador, Deanna could be it.

We had a wonderful stay at this property - 8 family members on a girls weekend! The house was beautiful, better than the pictures. The kitchen/living room/dining room space was ideal for games, cooking and lots of fun. Everything was so clean and ready to use. Kim was super responsive with any questions I had and everything was really smooth. I would stay here again! It's useful to note for prospective guests - there is a 1-bedroom guesthouse directly behind the main house which does lie between the house and the yard/view, so it didn't feel quite as private as I thought it would be. But - we were there on a rainy weekend, so our group and the guesthouse renters stayed inside all weekend and it was like they weren't even there! I would suggest if you are renting this space for outdoor space, it might not suit those needs. Overall a lovely place to stay and we had a fabulous weekend.

Our group of four had a fantastic experience staying at Quinpool. From the moment we booked, the host was incredibly proactive and kind, making sure every detail was taken care of in advance. Communication was clear and timely, which made our entire trip smooth and completely stress-free. The property itself was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described—ideal for a relaxing stay. We truly appreciated the thoughtful touches and the warm hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a seamless and welcoming Airbnb experience!

A beautiful place, a lovely host and quiet :).

Extraordinary property with expansive windows overlooking the lake and a stunning deck for enjoying the view. The interior was both comfortable and stylish, with tasteful designer touches throughout. Outside, the gas fire pit and string lights created a magical setting for evening s’mores. Beds were incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. The hosts, Vicky and Steve, were responsive and thoughtful throughout our stay. Note: the steep, unpaved driveway requires AWD—it wasn’t an issue for us and actually added a sense of adventure. There is an alternative place to park vehicles midway for non-AWD vehicles. The only downside was unexpected construction on the lot next door starting Monday, which brought some loud noise. An excavator was moving boulders to clear out space to build a house. Vicky and Steve handled it quickly and graciously with alternative options. Aside from that, the stay was absolutely wonderful.

My family and I were grateful to stay here for 4 nights - we were at awe of the ocean front and spent hours just sitting and staring out, listening to the waves. It was an unforgettable stay. The home itself is a nice little bungalow and reminded my family of our own home; it felt cozy and comfortable. Pierre and Sandra left very clear instructions for the home and a booklet of suggestions for the stay - which was great! we were able to do a few of those things, but not all due to the time of our stay. Cow's Bay is wonderful with lots to do and I am certainly staying here again in the future - plus i highly recommending this home to all my friends.
