A perfect home away from home!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2024
We had a wonderful stay on Dakin St. while visiting family in the Halifax area. The location is perfect, easy access to main roads and close to the harbour. I have family in Dartmouth, Tantallon and Truro, so this was perfectly located. The place itself was lovely. Four large beds with very comfortable linens, clean bathroom and shower, lovely kitchen and wooded view out front. We saw a mother deer and baby several times! The livingroom was a bit small, but adequate and comfortable. Host Holly was very quick to respond and easy to communicate with. All in all, an excellent place to stay and we will definitely consider it again.

After many hours of driving it was an amazing place to catch up on our rest in such a beautiful place.

As others have said, the host Holly was amazing. After a terrible experience with Vrbo (they double booked another house on us and the other host only realized 2 days before we were set to arrive with our 3 young children for a family wedding on the other side of the country, so it got cancelled and then I spent hours on the phone and had to call 10+ times before Vrbo agreed to this as an alternative- 2 days after we had already arrived!), this was the only option for us so we were thankful it was available. As others have said the air conditioner/temperature situation is not good- one portable A/C in the hall and one in a bedroom meant that the other bedrooms were warm and we had to keep all the doors open through the night for airflow (not to mention the noise from the machines). The beds are also ridiculously high as others note, so I got very little sleep worrying that my kids would fall out and hurt themselves. There also is a very small dining table with only living room (high back) chairs, so eating was awkward for our family of 5. It was fairly clean, but had a musty smell and spider webs, etc. in the corners, so obviously has not been deep cleaned or used a lot. The back deck was completely overgrown and covered in moss, so not really usable. And the driveway is tight! I'm sure you could squeeze in two vehicles, but it would be tricky! All in all, we were thankful for a place to stay and glad that Vrbo covered the extra cost (although who knows how long it will take to get reimbursed), but I definitely would not have paid what this is listed for based on what you get.
