Such a great place we decided to extend our stay! The location can’t be beat - you can walk to so many amazing restaurants, cafes, shops and the waterfront. It was very comfortable, spacious and clean - and in a historic building! This is the only place we will stay in Halifax from now on.

Wonderful stay at the Stoddard House

The 4 bedroom 2 bath appartment was spotlessly clean, full kitchen setup, beautiful furnishings including canopy 4 poster beds. The location was great with easy walking distance to downtown Halifax, the boardwalk, restaurants. Holly was very communicative and helpful.

Wedding away from home

We stayed at the home over the August long weekend to celebrate my nephews wedding. The house was as advertised and the little extras made our stay convenient. Staying downtown was especially nice for ourselves and our grown children and their spouses. .

Charming Historical Home in the Heart of Halifax

This beautifully appointed home was exactly what is depicted in the photos and located just 3 blocks from Halifax Harbour. Even though it was located closely to many historical sites, it is located in a quite area neighbour filled with many locally own shops and wonderful restaurants. The home felt welcoming from the moment you walked through the doors. The bedrooms were beautifully decorated and beds were very comfortable. The extra amenities that were available for our used were equal to some very high end boutique hotels that we have stayed in. After our daily tours of this beautiful city, we looked forward to relaxing in the large living room and felt like we were returning to our home away from home. Thank you Holly for allowing us to stay in this incredible home.

Great location and place.

This was perfect for our three generations. Plenty of room to spread out and come together. Walking distance to anything in Halifax proper. Just two blocks or so from the boardwalk and another few up the hill to the Citadel and shopping. Halifax is a great town and we would definitely stay in this house again.

An old friends getaway

This was one of the most ideal locations & atmosphere for 6 old friends looking for a calm,relaxed & down-town Halifax experience!! It offered an elegant home-base that allowed us to walk to sites and points of interests as well as giving us the tools to create our own meals and the space where all could sit down together!! It was wonderful! Thank you Holly for being a fantastic host!!

amazing family stay

we stayed here for four nights with our family event in Halifax. we had a great time. the location is amazing with so much within walking distance but the house is quiet and shielded from outside noise. the history of the home is appealing but it has all the amenities we needed. it is on the second and third floor so you need to be able to do stairs. some of the things important to us: the bedrooms which had air conditioning (3/4) were very comfortable in the summer heat. There were fans to move the air. All the beds were comfortable. The water pressure is good. The kitchen is new and clean with a dish washer. Fabulous location. Easy check in process. Simple check out: Not a huge list of complicated check out tasks like we have had at other rentals. Helpful but non-invasive host.
