Family-friendly vacation rentals in Lower Sackville

We had the pleasure to stay for the month of August. Great location overlooking a lake, just a short walk to a small quiet beach on the ocean. An old railway track converted to biking/walking path close by. Close to groceries and restaurants. Great location for day trips to Peggy’s cove/Halifax boardwalk/many parks and beaches. The home had everything you need. Just bring your swim trunks and spirit of adventure. We highly recommend a stay at this lovely spot.

Michelle's place was exactly what we expected. It even looked larger in real life vs. photos advertised. we loved the enclosed gazebo the hot tub was located in, the large kitchen table with oodles of seating, open floorplan and the small touches that made it feel aesthetically pleasing and cozy. we will be back sometime in the summer!

We came for the Hunter Moon and fell in love with the sunsets and walking on the beach. Lots of places to explore in the area.

We are so grateful to Katelyn & Lee for helping us pull off a magical experience for our family (17 total) who spent 6 days at this gorgeous property. The Anchorage House has plenty of space to gather & lots of nooks for small groups or privacy. There are amble bathrooms, which is essential for a big group. The hot tub was delightful-hosts even stopped by to freshen it mid-stay. They recommended a local caterer, the Savary Plate, who provided incredible meals, but the kitchen is well-equipped for cooking for a large group (which we did one night) and even has a commercial dishwasher! The location is perfect-we made day trips to Lunenburg, Halifax, Peggy’s Cove, and Digby for whale watching—not to mention local beaches minutes away. But we were just as enchanted sitting on the porch or down on the dock (evening kayaking). If characters were unlimited, I could go on and on about this wonderful property, but I also must mention the thoughtfulness of our hosts who felt like friends.

It's exactly what we expected based on pics and reviews. We traveled during winter so many ammenities were not available, but price was adjusted to reflect that. Gorgeous design, textures, and attention to detail. Felt a lot like home to us. The driveway is steep, but doable. The only notes I have.....a garment rack in the master bedroom would have been helpful as most closet doors are locked. Looking forward to coming back in the summer!

What a beautiful location. The suite had everything we needed and we fell asleep to the sound of the surf. Need to go back and stay longer!

Marvellous start of our 5+ weeks Nova Scotia - Newfoundland tour. Lovely apartment with outstanding view located directly at the beach.

Our family was coming for a wedding- it was a stunning place for us to gather and enjoy - reality- I wish would have been able to stay longer. I highly recommend this place- stunning space and great hosts. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you for everything.

Most of what I'm saying is echoing what other Guests have said - it's all still true for 2024: Morry is great to work with, cottage is clean and well-equipped,  the views here are wonderful, beds are comfy and the layout worked well for us with the two main floor bedrooms on opposite sides.  The kitchen is a good size and the two full bathrooms are like new. There's a great hike trailhead a stone's throw away and, if you haven't already, you will fall in love with Prospect, NS!!

This place was just what we needed for our stay in Halifax. We were within walking distance of local restaurants and a cycle shop where we could rent bikes. The inside was cosy, clean, and really made you feel welcome. Andrea was responsive and a lovely host! Would definitely recommend. :)

Stayed for only one night but it was very close to everything which I love because I don’t drive. Very clean and comfy bed :)

We had a lovely stay at this perfectly located, charming, and very comfortable house. Candace is a great host and made sure we had everything we needed!

Barrie is a wonderful host and the location of this home is truly incredible. We had everything we needed, plus our own island! We hope to be back!

We had a great stay at Erice’s place! Everything was very clean and exactly as described.

We stayed at Krista and Stephen's place for 2 months in the winter and it was fabulous! The house had so many wonderful amenities and the location was perfect. The dogs loved running around the yard and we were right beside a trail for wonderful morning walks. The sunset and sunrise views from the house are unbelievable. I'd highly recommend!

This was an amazing stay! We really enjoyed our time at this location. The suite had a great modern cottage vibe. It’s cozy and comfortable. Although there was no range, they provided and hot plate and air fryer for convenience! That was great for us as we were there for a longer stay, we could prepare meals at home instead. The location was close to bus routes and sunny side mall. Also easy access to Dartmouth road or Bedford hiway! We thank Amit and his family for their wonderful hospitality!

I loved everything about the stay, it is walking distance to Sobeys and a NSLC, amongst other shops and restaurants. The area is safe and scenic, the layout of the apartment was beautiful and I couldn’t ask for more from the hosts.

Sammi and Bonnie were super responsive through messages. Their communication was great and they were super nice. Their place is immaculate. The check in was super smooth and easy. Thank you Sammi and Bonnie!

We enjoyed our stay in this unit. It was in a perfect location, offering easy accessibility to everything we needed. Additionally, if you plan on using the bus system in Halifax, this unit is perfect because the bus stops directly in front of the house, so you do not have to walk far to catch the bus. It was clean and true to the pictures, and the unit felt like a home away from home. Everything stated in the description was adequately provided. I would highly recommend this listing. We hope to be back soon.

Judy‘s house is on a quiet sidestreet just parallel to the coastal street and made her house feel protected, quiet and even more charming. She went out of her way to share recommendations on music and art activities in the area, on beaches and hikes and on making the stay in her cute house wonderful. The legendary Peggy Cove village is minutes down the road and simply gorgeous.

Great stay and great hosts! Quick with replies and information. The home is gorgeous and very well stocked with everything needed. Nature trail and stores close by with downtown Halifax and Peggy’s Cove just a short drive. We even had some deer drop by for a visit which was wonderful! Would definitely stay again when in NS 💕

Very clean, spacious and convenient condo in central Halifax, close to downtown and Dalhousie. Easy check-in, and all the amenities needed to make our stay comfortable, and the host responds quickly if you have questions or need anything. Highly recommended.

Sammi is a great host. The place was just as described. It was an incredibly comfortable stay. Thanks for everything Sammi!
