New Executive/ Family Rental In Central Halifax- Sister House

Starting in May 1, 2015, we have welcomed guests to enjoy our 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom house in the heart of Central Halifax. Our home is seconds from Citadel Hill, and Halifax's Waterfront, and is directly across the street from the Halifax Common and Emera Skating Oval. The house has a large back deck with BBQ, a great place to relax before and after venturing out to enjoy the city and surroundings. The house has three levels. Upstairs features 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The main level is made for entertaining, with an open kitchen and a bright living room. The back sunroom leads to the tranquility of the large deck. Downstairs is made for lounging with a recreation room and bar, to go with another bedroom and a full bathroom.
This house was our family home for 10 years, but it was time to move to a spot with a bit more room for our family!

Lovely House & Location
Great location, looking out onto the Citadel and a short walk to the waterfront and lots of other amenities. With the great location does come some significant traffic noise. Inside, the house is well set up as accurately described. Lots of fans around to help keep cool on the hotter days. We had a great week, thanks!

Halifax property
We loved the house, it was very clean and had everything we needed supplied. Lots of room, 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms was great! The location was great too, close to everything. It's on a busy street but we liked that too. Lots going on around us. My husband and I stayed in the basement bedroom which we did find a little damp, however, it was a very hot humid week. There isn't air conditioning but the hosts supplied lots of fans so that helped. We were a little confused about the garbage day. We weren't sure if it was a garbage day or recycling and compost only so that schedule would be helpful for the next renters. Overall, it was a great stay and we would recommend it! Thank you

Family wedding
We enjoyed our stay at the Orange house in Halifax. It is very convenient to downtown and within walking distance. It was a great accommodation for our 3-generation family. John was a very good host with prompt replies to any questions. There were even some age-appropriate toys for our grandchildren which was a treat. supermarkets were nearby. Nice to have parking in the driveway.

Great location
The location is perfect with everything within walking distance...waterfront, parks, gardens, citadel. House was nice and big for our family. We were there when it was close to 90 degrees and there was no air conditioning so that was a bit rough. My only issue was that there were no shades in the master bedroom, very thin curtains so you were up when the sun was up. 5:30am a bit too early for me on vacation, other than that would have given it a 5 star.

Canadian Thanksgiving With Family
We stayed the first time in December 2019 to celebrate Christmas with friends and family in Halifax and from out-of-province. We enjoyed it so much we booked the property again to celebrate Thanksgiving. Central location. Clean. Very comfortable beds. Lots of space. New furniture and decorations since Dec 2019 which resulted in more space and less clutter. Property manager is very nice and responsive.

Christmas with family and friends
Great location! Easy walk to downtown. Right across the street from an outdoor skating oval. Comfortable beds. Lots of space. All the amenities work well. Adequately provisioned. 250-metre walk (i.e. 4 minutes) to a convenience store and a 1-kilomtre walk (i.e. 14 minutes) to an Atlantic Superstore which is a major grocery store chain in the Maritimes. One couple can have their own room with a king-sized bed and access to their own bathroom with walk-in shower in the basement. Another king-sized bed upstairs in the master that includes a full ensuite bathroom. A third full-bathroom easily shared between those staying in the second and third bedrooms on the top floor. Queen-sized beds in the second and third bedrooms upstairs. Everyone found their bed comfortable and everyone slept well. The property manager Leanne is excellent; friendly, kind, considerate and responsive. I had a question for her on Boxing Day (i.e. December 26) that I resolved to ask her on December 27 since December 26 is a public holiday in Canada. Who shows up in person on December 26 to check in on us to make sure everything was fine? Leanne. We forgot some medicine and vitamins behind; Leanne found it and sent it to me via courier. Definitely will stay at The Orange House again and recommend it very highly (except when we want to use it ;))

Perfect spot for a friends get away!
This property exceeded all our (lofty) expectations! The location is ideal (about a 7 minute walk from the Scotiabank centre) for concerts and hockey games! No need to have a car as everything is easily walkable within the downtown core! Was very clean and well stocked with plates and cups. Easily slept 10 people! We really liked having three full baths as it made getting ready for the day / night way quicker! 10/10 recommend.

Great place
The house is very nice and so close to downtown that we walked every day. The kitchen is great and has just about everything you would ever need. For people in the front bedrooms they need earplugs. We enjoyed the outside terrace very much. We did have difficulty with the lockbox but perhaps that was just our inexperience. Lots of towels, washcloths and kitchen towels. It was super to have a washing machine and dryer.

Great house for our group
This beautiful house is just as advertised and the pictures are accurate. We had 3 couples and one single and were very comfortable. The location is a short walk from downtown and seemed near to everything. The only real negative was that the house is located on a busy street and there was a fair amount of street noise (sirens, people conversing loudly) on some of the nights for people in the front two bedrooms. The back bedroom and basement bedroom were very quiet. The kitchen is very well equipped and the dining/living areas were a comfortable place for us to enjoy being together. Would definitely recommend this house for a stay in Halifax.

What you see is what you get!
Very comfortable for our group of 8 sisters. Close to everything - the Citadel is basically across the street. Owner John responded promptly to our request to check in a little early and check out a little late to accommodate our flight times and it was very much appreciated. We definitely recommend this house for larger groups or families.

Amazing location
Its better to be lucky then good... and we were extremely lucky! The house was amazing, perfect location to get a feel for an amazing city, short walk to the waterfront (20 minutes), park across the street and so many small streets full of shops, restaurants and pubs. We had 12 in total, 4 kids and everyone was well accommodated for, sleep and lots of common space to hang out. Parking not a problem, met the owners of the Thai Chi center next door, happy to let us park an extra truck in their lot over the weekend (do ask first though). Overall, we felt like this was the perfect home for us, thank you! Suggestion... put a information sheet together for places close by, i.e. where to go for Pizza, seafood and place to do some food shopping.
