Family-friendly vacation rentals in Truro

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.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Mark and Mary Ellen's. They were wonderful hosts who made us feel very welcome. The cottage was equipped with literally everything you could think of to make yourself right at home. The kids LOVED exploring the beach each day or just playing in the yard and the hot tub. The trip to Charlottetown was very close and we were able to explore downtown and enjoy plenty of great seafood spots. Thank you so much for a great vacation!!

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!

Wonderful relaxing place for the 2 of us. Tubs and Hot tub are extremely nice. Room for 6. We cooked, grilled, and relaxed. It was a perfect place to stay for us. 2 bathrooms, but only 1 shower. Something for a larger group to be aware of.

We Had a family reunion “staycation”!! This Was a perfect spot. Open space for the play pen and baby toys! Beautiful view & yard. We brought our own groceries and stayed in. The kitchen was very workable and had all the kitchen tools we could have needed. The wood stove was such a relaxing mood setter. The outdoor hot tub was lovely! (2 ppl) The deck was perfect for enjoying the outdoors with babies! Host had loads of little fine touches. Washer & dryer worked great! Parking was good, right next to the door and no stairs needed. Felt right at home and very comfortable! This is a perfect location of longer stays!

Lots of nice touches: lights on when we arrived, snacks (even milk and yogurt!), shampoo, board games, etc. It is not super clear from the listing, but the shower is at an angle, quirk of an old farmhouse. Taller people won't find it all that comfortable . We were also very excited about the hot tub, but less excited to realize it was around the back of the house. On a slippery cold winter day we chose to not take advantage. Overall this is a solid pick and I would not hesitate to recommend. Thanks for a great stay!

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

Beautiful, peaceful place. Appreciated the clear instructions and the responsiveness to my questions. Location was spotless. Wonderful trip and would absolutely book again!

I had a relaxing couple of days at Annes place, the house was as described in the advertisement and had everything you would need for a stay. Close by to local restaurants/ shops giving you different options during your stay.

Outstanding host. Truly blown away by Gerry’s warm welcome to Halifax. Every day he offered assistance and advice, which was much needed and appreciated since we had never been to Nova Scotia before. His friendliness is genuine and heartwarming. And his place is totally fantastic. An unexpected bonus was 100% the best hot water pressure in a shower that I’ve ever experienced in my life. Highly highly recommended.

We stay at a lot of AirBnBs. This may have been my personal favorite as it reminded me of home at Paxson Lake in Alaska. Beautiful views, fires under the stars and just a short drive from town this spot is everything you want amd nothing you don't.

Very nice host. Was able to accommodate my last minute booking. The airbnb was great very relaxing and cozy. Would definitely return.

We always feel at home in Angela’s flat. Can’t think of a thing that has ever been lacking to make our visit completely comfortable. We love the neighbourhood which is remarkably quiet, especially considering how close it is to restaurants, public transit and downtown. Looking forward to our next stay!

Great place to stay! It’s in a private and quiet spot but also in walking distance to shops in mahone bay, plus there’s a local brewery right across the street! It’s dog friendly! We’ll definitely be booking there again! The host is great, very responsive and flexible with check in and out times.

Martina's place was perfect for our honeymoon. We stayed there a week and it's just what you need for 2 people. The location was fantastic with being on the water, and not in the bustle of the real touristy areas. Nice and out of the way, but still only 1.5 hours from all the Anne of Green Gables stuff and 45 minutes to Charlottetown. Blossom was great fun. We didn't have time to do any biking of the confederation trail, but we made use of the kayaks one morning and had a bonfire one night. Martina was super helpful with providing wood for a bonfire and giving us suggestions on places to go/things to see in the area/on the island.

We were a family group of 5 adults and we very much enjoyed our stay. The rooms were pristine and spacious with incredible views via large windows . There were also cosy spaces for chats and board games. The wood stove was easy to use and provided a lovely warmth. This inviting home is very well organized ( loved the labels for the kitchen cupboards and drawers). We wish that we could have stayed longer.

Angela is really helpful and reply very quickly. Nice and peaceful place to stay

The house was great. It is situated right on the West River. We say so many different birds including osprey, eagles, geese, ducks and many others. We could hear fish jumping in the evening and several stripped bass were caught and released.. We were fortunate to have clear skies for viewing a comet and shooting stars. The communication with Valerie was good.

The cabin was quaint and charming, cosy and peaceful. Paddle boat was a fun bonus and the included firewood for our private firepit was a great added touch! Local recommendations and very friendly hosts made our stay really lovely. Thank you!

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.

WFP &J.P were amazing. We were delighted with our stay and fell in love with Nova Scotia. The animals were an extra unexpected. Gustave will be very bored of Maple. Small review THAT IS NOT A REVIEW. The fridge isn't very big so don't do too big a grocery every time. We arrived with too many things and didn't get in. But again, it's no big deal. There's a grocery store nearby. Sounds good. Just don't have to plan too far in advance if you have a big family like mine. The pool is extraordinary!!!!! Close to lots of beautiful beaches . We had a great time with the family!!!

Great hosts who came to the unit as they saw us pull in to give us some helpful instructions. They even dropped off an extra bin of firewood as ours was damp from the weekend of rain. Highly recommend this place, it was beautiful! Perfect covered shelter for our rain filled stay that enabled us to enjoy to view while staying dry

Fantastic hosts. Dream heritage property with total privacy and a heated pool in a park like setting; we booked that property pretty much every year for the last seven years. Rob and Barb are constantly improving the property, there is always something new to discover, whether it's a new appliance, or a brand new landscaped river frontage inviting you to sit and watch river and ocean life whilst sipping a glass of tasty red provided with the welcome basket. We enjoyed eating out at the Lunenburg restaurants, as much as we enjoyed cooking a delicious meal at their place, which is fully equipped, one can easily cook up a gourmet meal. Golden! And we shall return!! Greetings from Port Lorne, NS, Conny and Fred.

We loved our stay! Thank you Cora & Dave for being wonderful hosts and offering such a beautiful and relaxing vacation spot.
