House was really nice. Kitchen was large and well stocked. Host left some breakfast items which was thoughtful. Location was not too far from downtown Halifax. Beds were comfy and house was well maintained.
10.0 / 10.0
I love old stuff, especially the common old stuff like antique hand mixers, old bottles, and the polished wooden tables and cabinets like my grandfather had. I was deeply impressed that not only did the host appoint this house with antique furniture, they didn't forget to include old-style kitchen utensils and fixtures. T'was a blast from a well-beloved past for me.
The location was excellent for our purposes with easy access by car to Halifax in one direction, the main route down the eastern coast in another direction, and the other main road across the island to the west coast where the vineyards are located.
I only wished that the firm that represented the host was more voluble about the lovely furnishings -- a few requests for more information were met with silence. It's not that they weren't helpful, because they were very attentive to even the slightest hint of problems, but I just wish they had known more about the furnishings that somebody went to considerable lengths to acquire.

We had a great stay. Everything was wonderful and Holly was so helpful. Good location.
Be prepared for the traffic circle and the quick turn into the driveway.

Cute and charming! Central location walking distance to mall and the water. Comfy beds and all amenities. Rushing water next to the property drowns out the traffic noise. Would definitely stay here again👌

The house is adorable and has all modern conveniences. Great location. We loved the rushing waterfall and easy access to walk the shoreline. Unfortunately there were mice in the house, which I know can be very typical for an older home.
8.0 / 10.0
Overall the property was fantastic. Lots of space for a bigger group and the host was fantastic. They stocked the property with the essentials, plus more!
The driveway was a slight challenge to find and attention to detail for cleanliness could have been a little better but not bad enough to be uncomfortable. A good steam cleaning on some of the sofas and the futon would make a major difference.
Regardless, great experience and great value.

Clean, cute cottage. Location was very convenient, 10 min drive to downtown Halifax. Supermarket and other amenities located very nearby. Cottage was nicely decorated and the location was great. Situated overlooking the ocean, with a small stream/river running along side the property creating a nice ambience. Holly was attentive, checked in after day one to ensure everything was to our liking.

A perfect location for a little time on my own. I enjoyed the view of the water from the dining room table, the sound of the stream from the bedroom and reading on the settee by the window in the living room. Very peaceful and comfortable.

Great place to stay
We very much enjoyed our stay. The property was just as described and Holley made sure to send us updates leading up to the check in and also the checkout procedure. Very simple and straight forward. The location is great for our needs and we will certainly be back. We had 5 people stay there, all very comfortably. The kitchen, sitting and dining area was plenty big to serve us all. The entrance to the driveway is a bit tricky the first time entering.
Overall we were very pleased as were our guests.

Charming yet Overpriced
1930's home with character everywhere you look. The sound of the waterfall outside is mesmerizing. Outdoor patio furniture could be updated or replaced. Ceiling fixtures could use a good cleaning as well. Love the fully stalked kitchen. Beds were extremely comfortable. Quiet and charming area.

Charming house
Great location near the Northwest Arm and trendy Regatta Point as well as major entry into and out of the city. Loved the adjacent water falls....great for seeping. Home is furnished with an interesting collection of antiques and is split in half into two rental units.
Would recommend as value is good for VRBO.
Being a retired couple we missed not having TV (news, sports etc) but learned the ins and outs of ROKU.
