Beachfront holiday rentals 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!!

Most of what I'm saying is echoing what other Guests have said - it's all still true for 2024: Morry is great to work with, cottage is clean and well-equipped,  the views here are wonderful, beds are comfy and the layout worked well for us with the two main floor bedrooms on opposite sides.  The kitchen is a good size and the two full bathrooms are like new. There's a great hike trailhead a stone's throw away and, if you haven't already, you will fall in love with Prospect, NS!!

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 is literally oceanfront property- can't get any closer! With a perfect view of the sunset directly from the sliding glass door, this place provides one of most beautiful and tranquil accommodations we've ever experienced.

We had a wonderful night at Kyle’s cabins! Would love to come back!! So nice, peaceful and relaxing!! I would love to come back in the summer and utilize the beach and water toys. We thoroughly enjoyed the fire sauna! So nice! Not great cell service but there’s free wifi. Door dash is the delivery service out there… just an FYI! They had great service although Tantallon pizza was a little slow, it was delicious and worth the wait. Jessica and Kyle, met me at the front desk and it was a pleasure! They were so kind, welcoming and very informative. We didn’t use the fire, salt water, hot tub this time but maybe next time. It was so tempting! Beautiful views! Highly recommend!

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!!!

Wow!!! What can I say, unfortunately there is no 10 stars to rate this place and Courtenay. She has done such a fantastic job, we arrived there was water in the fridge and milk, fresh cookies and local caramels from Lure!! I felt like it was my birthday. Beautiful little notes left for us all to welcoming us to the property. I’ve stayed in many Airbnb’s around the world and in Nova Scotia and these guys knocked it out of the park. I need to go and re-review previous properties to make the level of service, support and quality of the accommodation make sense. This is beyond 5 stars and actually deliver so well so thoughtfully that I would not want to stay anywhere else. Amazing location, sunrise and sunset were just beautiful over the ocean. Tucked away but still close for groceries or nipping into Halifax. Courtenay was super responsive but honestly everything is there so no need to ask for anything. Tea, coffee, everything you need other than main groceries was a big help.

The suite was open concept and beautiful inside. The boat dock on the lake was a wonderful place to sit in the morning with coffee. The bathroom was very nice. I would have liked a non slip rubber mat in the tub and grab bar on the side as the tub was a high sided tub. Over all we made out fine but my wife had to be very careful getting in and out of the shower as she has balance issues and walk with a cane. The master bedroom king bed was extremely comfortable. The 2nd bedroom has twin beds the were very firm but ok Galen was very pleasant to visit with and came twice to check on us. Much appreciated the attention. The nearest store(Sobeys) is about 5km away. The end culdasac and area is very quiet

We finally made it to our girls weekend! Third time was a charm as we had to reschedule twice due to extenuating circumstances, but Holly was more than accommodating to us! It was the perfect spot to relax in a peaceful setting on the water! It was a stormy weekend but we felt cozy and the hot tub was secluded and sheltered so we could enjoy it even in a rainstorm! Thank you for a lovely much needed getaway!

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!

Everything that you could have possibly needed was available. Close to a small little town that had restaurants, grocery store etc. The views in and around the cottage were spectacular

Great property, we’ll be back, thanks Elias 👍

We definitely needed this after spending too much time downtown. It was incredibly easy to find, it was quiet and peaceful yet not far from basic needs like groceries. I really enjoyed waking up and seeing the sunrise from the living room, one day even included a partial solar eclipse. The space was bright and spacious, the water was very hot and great to relax in, the beds were very comfortable and the place was around beautiful surroundings. We loved the sounds of the ocean blasting on the rocky shores. I would definitely come back here again and I hope it’s soon honestly. This place was a great stress releaser.

This was the most beautiful Airbnb I’ve ever seen or stayed in by far!! It’s absolutely stunning inside and out and top to bottom. The location is incredible with the most beautiful scenery of the ocean and stars. My family had such an amazing time that they were begging me to rent the place for longer. The kids had so much fun in the backyard, the near by beach, and especially the jacuzzi. I will absolutely be renting this place again and again every time we consider going away as a family!! Thank you to the hosts, who were so respectful , responsive and made the stay so flawless and easy and literally contributed to the joy my family felt this last weekend.

It was an interesting stay for the host and for our group. First, I got a message that the air conditioning had failed the day before we arrived and the repair people were not available until after our stay. So the hosts put fans in all of the rooms! Then the hurricane came and it was not safe to stay. We left the day the hosts were coming to secure the house for the storm. And they initiated a refund for the days we could not stay! You can’t ask for more from hosts! The house is lovely and a great place to stay!

Beautiful location. We loved the views from the porch. Very clean and well stocked. Our daughter loved all the board games and the kayaks were a very fun bonus! Wish we booked for a much longer stay! Would absolutely stay here again.

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.

We had a family gathering here. The place was clean, big, lots of things to do (inside and out) and we felt right at home. Deborah was very responsive and accommodating. The view and dock were amazing and the deck outside was plenty big for us all. When the weather turned we went under the deck. The place is perfect for getting everyone together. Would definitely book again.

We had a spectacular time at this beautiful place! Would absolutely very highly recommend to anyone wanting a beautiful place in a lovely location! The place was so well appointed, had everything you could want or need. So many extras, fun games, books and an incredible gym. This was a perfect Airbnb Thank you so much! Maggie
