Beachfront holiday rentals in Balmy Beach

We had an amazing stay! It was our second time staying and everything was perfect. It’s a cozy cottage with an at-home feel. Set the pilot light in the gas fireplace for us and let me know in advance, and offered to come pick up chairs after a windstorm the night before our stay. Very lovely host with a very speedy response time and a wonderful property!

This was our second year at Carrie and Dan's cottage and once again my family and I had a fantastic time. The house is perfectly situated on the river with a nice beach and it has all of the amenities needed. Dan communicated regularly and checked in with us to ensure we had everything we needed. This is a beautiful property which anyone would have fun at.

We had an amazing Christmas stay at Amanda’s beautiful cottage! The snow made the experience even more magical, though we can imagine it being just as stunning in the summer. The heated jacuzzi overlooking the serene view was a highlight for us—it was the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The cottage is incredibly private and exclusive, offering the peaceful retreat we were looking for. The house itself is spotless, cozy, and well-maintained. Amanda’s detailed instructions made navigating everything in the home so easy, and we appreciated how thoughtfully everything was prepared. The place had everything we needed and more. We highly recommend this cottage for anyone looking for a perfect getaway. Thank you, Amanda, for hosting us!

We had a fantastic stay at the Little Lake Lookout. The hosts thought of everything. There were three adults and three dogs in our group, and every single one of us had a fantastic time. The fenced-in play area gave us peace of mind to let the dogs run together, and the waterfront location was beautiful. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the place was perfectly clean. Extra touches like fresh Kleenex boxes, the totally unexpected host gifts, and lots off towels ready at the door to wipe off the pups really made us feel at home. Coffee on the beach, enjoying a sauna and cold plunge, and having a campfire in the fire pit while the dogs played around us made for such a relaxing time. The separate room off the deck was a perfect spot for quiet & privacy when working. I planned to do a few hikes while I was up north, but we were so comfortable and content we didn't even leave the cottage. I guess we'll have to go back. I would definitely recommend!

Kathy's place was beautiful and spacious. We were a group of 7, with 4 children total and we had lots of space. It was clean and in a great location. We were there in the winter but look forward to visiting in the summer sometime as well!

We stayed at Due North for a long weekend stay to celebrate my partner’s birthday and we had a lovely time! Everything was very clean and cozy. The view of the lake was breathtaking. We loved the beach, and our dogs did too. We don’t have kids, but we can tell there are a lot of fun activities for the little ones to do! The hosts were great too. They were very responsive, understanding, and friendly! I am already planning my next trip to come back!

This is one of the best places I have ever stayed in. The location, the amenities, the surroundings - everything was near perfect. The host, Matt, was the icing on the cake. He was extremely helpful, easy to communicate with and was always looking out to ensure we had a good time at the property. This is pretty close to Tobermory and Lion’s Head lookout, has bikes and kayaks available and the kitchen has all the amenities. Would love to visit again!

Great place in a beautiful location! Perfect for our two families to get together and enjoy the outdoors in winter. The kitchen is well-supplied and it’s great to have towels and sheets provided. Carrie is friendly, flexible and well organized. Thanks so much!

My stay at Bakraam’s place was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, everything was smooth and well-organized. The home was spotless, cozy, and just as described—if not better! Being so close to the beach and nearby attractions made the location perfect for both relaxation and exploring. Bakraam was an exceptional host. He personally checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed and even helped us arrange the BBQ, which made our stay even more enjoyable. On top of that, he went out of his way to shovel the snow, ensuring the area was safe and hazard-free—such a thoughtful touch! I can’t recommend this place enough. If you’re looking for a comfortable stay with a top-notch host, this is the place to book. I’ll definitely be returning

Had an amazing time. Will come back!!

Had a small bachelor party here recently and I couldn’t be happier! The hosts are the kindest and most helpful people ever! They went above and beyond and were always making sure we had everything. They gave recommendations on where to go and what to do, but they were also respectful of our time and space. Karen and Russell were very gracious hosts, it is a basement apartment but it wasn’t too loud upstairs and we were as quiet as we could be without restricting our own fun. The area is great and even the neighbours were nice and friendly. There’s lots to do around, and it’s not far from the village, where there’s more to do. I will be coming back with my wife and son, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a decent priced accommodation in a lovely area.

My friends and I had a great stay! Tony was really helpful with accommodating our requests and we all had a really good time. Would love to visit again.

Lovely lovely place. Sitting on the deck watching over the blue waters of the bay - dreamy! Kids had fun at the beach and in the pool. Highly recommend.

Idyllic gem on Georgian bay. Perfect for a small family getaway by the lake. The resort pool is a big plus for the kids. Beautiful surroundings and stunning sunsets. Jefferson is a great host. Very friendly and responsive. He kindly accommodated our request.

The apartment is presented well in the photos. We loved our stay and the access to the lake and pool. Homeowner was quick to respond by sms. It’s important to know that the “third” bedroom is an open loft space, doesn’t work if you need a 3rd room with a bed and a door and all that but does work if you know what to expect. We were not provided enough towels or any hand towels, in a place with 3 bathrooms. We did find that a bit odd. Either than that great stay.

Kelly was a wonderful host. she was very responsive and accommodating. her cottage was extremely clean, great bbq and kitchen well stocked. Pillows and blankets looked and smelled freshly washed. beds were also very comfortable. would definitely stay again.

Great spot for a group getaway! Nice location and plenty of space inside for 8 people. Would stay again.

We 4 friends stayed for a week. The large 2-storey cottage on a quiet cul de sac was spacious with multiple bedrooms and plenty of lounge area in and a large deck out, with a beautiful view of the bay looking east out to Georgian Bay – morning sun out front, most sleeping areas in the back to allow sleeping in! 1-1/2 baths, with the half an en suite. A sandy bottom bay with long shallow great for kids, well-constructed fire pit, and kayaks await outside. Inside is a large modern fridge and deluxe gas range, an island bar counter, large dining area overlooking the bay. No TV but you won’t miss it with all the activities in the area – close to supplies in Wiarton, Lion’s Head, and incredible lookout points on the Bruce Trail. No A/C but evening temps are reasonable, at worst open a window and enjoy the ceiling fans. Great high-speed internet. We all came away relaxed and happy to recommend this as a truly Great Canadian getaway.

Maria and Gus were wonderful hosts, and we really enjoyed our stay at their cottage. They were very responsive and addressed all our concerns. The cottage was well-equipped with everything we needed, including dishes, utensils, towels, and even extra toothbrushes in case we forgot to bring our own! The view of the lake from the back of the cottage was incredible!

Tammy’s place was such a fantastic stay for our family vacation with every single detail covered - we had everything we needed and more. Tammy goes above and beyond ensuring her guests are comfortable from the second they step into her place. She has an open line of communication and the small details upon arrival make it feel extra special. A great cottage located on a bay, overlooking a beautiful sandy beach, great for kids and a shallow lake to walk in. And so close to town. Considering time of year, we expected there to be a bit of beach weeds near the shore, but a few feet out the water was crystal clear - and warm. The newly renovated washroom and kitchen are an incredible addition and made our stay that much more comfortable. Lots of places to sit, eat, and enjoy each others company inside and out. We would love to come back here in the future.

Always a great stay at the Red Bay get away. We have been twice now and both times we had amazing time. The place is always nice and clean, they have lots of board games, free WiFi, appliances. We go here for the sunsets though. Some of the best sunsets we have ever seen!

Loved this location - beach right across the road with chairs provided to take over and enjoy! Easy walk to town for restaurants and cafes and shopping. Just a beautiful town and perfect cottage to enjoy it! All the needed equipment and extra provided. Bedding was so lovely! Can’t say enough! Highly recommend!

Wendy’s place was perfect. The lake house is newly renovated and has a large kitchen, many seating areas and high ceilings with natural light. The beach is peaceful and water crystal clear. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s heaven in Ontario. Wendy was an excellent host. We can’t wait to be back! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Douglas is a great host. The place was amazing with a great view! Very clean and had everything we needed plus more. We would definitely recommend to others! Thanks for such a great experience!
