Beachfront holiday rental in Cow Bay

Fantastic stay! We loved it there. The host was so helpful and the place met our needs perfectly with all the things one needs for an ocean cottage vacation. We loved the notes, welcome basket & the little additions throughout the property. Thank you so much!!

The perfect spot for a girls weekend!! Kimi was such an easy person to talk to, very responsive! check in was extremely easy as well

Our stay at Terence Bay was incredible. The location is stunning—right on the beach with beautiful views of a lighthouse. My kids loved being able to climb on the rocks, go hiking along the seashore and even find sea glass right in the backyard! We couldn’t have asked for more and my family didn’t want our time to end! The property was spotless and even better than the pictures. Our two kids especially loved the bunk bed room. Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean was pure bliss. Danielle, our host, was fantastic—always helpful and attentive. You could tell that she genuinely cared about us having a great trip. She offered us tips and help when needed. We’ll definitely be recommending this spot to our friends and family.

we loved everything about the beach cottage! Everything is as described, with every detail taken care of! Sweet Ethel is a delight!! Easily the best Air BnB we have stayed in! Thank you so much Ethel for making our 10 day stay wonderful! we will be back!!!

This spot was absolutely perfect. It was bigger than expected and right on the water! Will definitely be back there in the summer time.

Very cozy place! It was right by the water with a beautiful view. Very convenient as well. We were about a 30 minutes drive from Downtown Halifax. Ashley was very responsive and helpful. Beautiful place and amazing host! I'd stay there again. :)

I can't begin to explain the scerene beauty that this place Tania's place offers. Stunningly beautiful views and a sunrise that leaves you breathless. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful, and their amazing dogs made the whole place feel like home. We will definitely be back. If I could ever recommend somewhere to be near Halifax but out of this city this hidden gem is an absolute must!!!

This was the most amazing place. We spent a week here and Everything you needed or wanted was right in this place. The surroundings were peaceful, very inviting. Gillian checked in with us halfway through our stay to see if we needed anything. The beds were very comfy. The firepit is beautiful there was a fully stacked wood pile to use for the fire. There were lots of chairs all around to sit outside or out by the the dock. We would stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you Gillian and Scott for your hospitality.

We had a relaxing and quiet weekend here. The space was warm and cozy, the view was wonderful. It was just what we needed for a weekend away. Highly recommended for anybody looking for a place that is secluded, but close enough to all your amenities. Will definitely go back.

Excellent stay at this oceanfront cottage. It’s exactly what we needed for a relaxing and romantic Valentines Weekend. We would stay again.

After many days on the road, it was fantastic to park our motorcycles at the Red Roof and totally unplug. It is a gorgeous, peaceful location ...... just soaking in the ebb and flow of the bay was perfect and Phil was a great host....we highly recommend!

We've stayed at this Airbnb multiple times, and it consistently offers a comfortable and enjoyable experience. The space is always clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped, with a stunning ocean view that never gets old. It's a reliable choice for both short and long stays. Highly recommend!

Myself and some girlfriends needed a quiet weekend away and this was the perfect spot. The home was clean and equipped, a gorgeous view of the beach with the comforting sound of crashing waves, comfy beds, and had lots of options for relaxation and fun. It is very close in proximity to neighbours with little outdoor privacy which was fine for us but may not be for others! Overall, we had a wonderful weekend. Thank you!!

Beautiful stay inside and out!

Our stay was very comfortable and enjoyable. It is situated right next to the ocean and the sound of the waves was relaxing. Perfect place to escape to.

The days we spent in Gillian and Stephen's accommodation were wonderful. It is a really beautiful and very large accommodation and corresponds perfectly to the description on the internet. We would book this accommodation again in a heartbeat.

Alex and his house are amazing. I would give Alex 10 Stars out of 5 if I could. He was very accommodating and very responsive to us before, and during our stay. The house is well equipped throughout, including the kitchen to do everything you need. The view is out of this world and is like something from a movie. The rooms are spacious, the living areas are perfect to relax and look at the Atlantic Ocean whilst ships cruise past. Access to the beach was easy and the little peninsula has a fireplace that just completes the whole package. It is private and just what we needed. I highly recommend Alex and his spectacular house for anyone and everyone!

absolutely stunning view and was so quiet. house was very clean and had everything we needed. absolutely recommend.

Great location on a very clean and peaceful lake. Swimming , kayaks and paddleboards are available right off the private dock. My son and I enjoyed paddling around the lake with islands, walking trails and a natural area with diving board to explore. The house is on a peninsula so while it’s very private , you also get pretty views on 3 sides. The house is stocked with everything you need for meals, movie watching , games (indoor & outdoor) as wells as a fire pit area. Very rustic feel but everything clean and air conditioned so we were comfortable when we did spend time in the house. Lastly , we were able to get to the Halifax waterfront for a very enjoyable meal in only 35 mins. Closer options in Sackville & Dartmouth as well. We also appreciated having a large Sobey’s grocery store only 10 min drive away.

Amazing place to enjoy our family Christmas under one roof. Spacious and so cozy all in one! We loved the fireplace and the easy access to the beach. There was a snowstorm when we were there and so we were nestled in all day. It was so beautiful to watch the storm roll in and feel so comfortable!

Amazing views, beautiful country

We frequently travel as a large group and are used to splitting up due to our size, so finding a place that can accommodate all of us is a challenge. Melanie and Thomas went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, and we couldn’t be more grateful. With 17 of us staying under one roof, you’d never guess there were so many—it was that spacious! The house is clean, peaceful, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you could need, from kitchen essentials to speakers and pool toys. Melanie and Thomas are truly the most kind and welcoming hosts we’ve ever encountered. If you’re considering staying here, don’t hesitate—just book it! Next time, we’re definitely staying for at least three nights because we weren’t ready to leave!
