Beachfront holiday rental in Herring Cove

From the moment we arrived at this charming cottage, we were blown away by the breathtaking view. It made every sunrise and sunset feel magical. The amenities were equally impressive. The cottage was clean, and beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything we needed - from a fully stocked kitchen to linens and even games for a rainy day. The location was fantastic, as we were just minutes away from local grocery stores and a mix of eateries - perfect for grabbing a quick bite or enjoying a leisurely dinner. Plus, the area is packed with sightseeing adventures and historic landmarks to hidden gems we discovered along the way. This place felt like home away from home and we can’t wait to go back again!

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.

The home was cozy and beautiful. The host was very accommodating and let us do an early check-in and late check-out. The view from the dining room was spectacular. This home is uniquely placed for the best view of this waterfront. There are little signs in the home of things to do in the neighbourhood, places to eat at, and clear instructions on how to look after the home. The home is tastefully decorated and has nice artwork everywhere. I particularly liked the black and white florals in the living room, the lighthouse painted on wood and the Maud Lewis print.

This was a perfect getaway home. Very comfortable and relaxing. A great view of the ocean. The front windows let in so much of the morning light ; I absolutely loved hanging out in front of the window in a big comfy chair or sitting on the front porch drinking coffee in the mornings and wine in the evenings. One does have to drive to get anywhere but the drives are relaxing and the scenery is beautiful. Grocery stores only a few miles away. A great beach also a few miles away. We weren’t able to experience any local restaurants unless there was outdoor seating as we had our dog, a Great Dane, with us. But that was completely okay with us as we just really wanted to get away from the craziness of the world for a week! The host was very responsive when we had questions and very friendly. Highly recommend this little charm!

Our group of four had a fantastic experience staying at Quinpool. From the moment we booked, the host was incredibly proactive and kind, making sure every detail was taken care of in advance. Communication was clear and timely, which made our entire trip smooth and completely stress-free. The property itself was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described—ideal for a relaxing stay. We truly appreciated the thoughtful touches and the warm hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a seamless and welcoming Airbnb experience!

We had our daughter and her family with us and we all enjoyed the cottage. The view is spectacular, the home is comfortable and our grandsons loved beach combing on the private beach every day! I highly recommend this place for families or even a group of friends.

Beautiful private property hidden away from the road, with the lake in the backyard. Casondra was super responsive and easy to communicate with. The interior was clean and there are instructions for pretty much anything you’d need inside the home. So cozy at night and the hot tub was so nice! They even let us use their kayaks, what a treat. We loved our two night stay, would definitely recommend!

Amazing amazing stay. The hosts are fabulous. They go above and beyond. The place is super clean and has everything a family with young kids would ever need. It was such a breath of fresh air, we felt right at home. Gillian’s daughter also offers babysitting and she is amazing with the kiddos. Best Airbnb we stayed in. THANK YOU!

we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, lots of water foul was an added bonus when we were having our morning coffee when there was not a ripple on the water. would be back

Great place, and Priyanka runs a very professional Airbnb business.

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 is such a beautiful and peaceful place. The ocean view is stunning! We enjoyed our stay at this location and felt right at home. I highly recommend Greg’s place!

Highly recommend this place and the host is very responsive. All was great with Thanh. We’ll be back soon to this beautiful cottage.

We enjoyed a very comfortable 5 night stay at Adam's place. The beds were comfy and the kitchen, pantry and laundry were well stocked. East Petpeswick is a beautiful, quiet, natural area but there's lots to do if you're into outdoor living. The tiny house provided all the comforts we needed to relax at the end of our days. We loved sitting on the back deck to watch the night sky and hear the surf (while our steaks were on the BBQ) and appreciated the wifi and TV when it was time to come in. Adam's spot is within easy access to gorgeous Martinique Beach (strolling and surfing), the wonderful Musquodoboit Trailhead (hiking), and all the other treasures Nova Scotia offers. For sure, we would stay here again.

What a beautiful place to spend a weekend very clean very organized and a deer waiting for us. when we pulled in the driveway. Our stay was lovely. We would definitely stay again. Thank you Thomas.

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

Absolutely stunning place. Extremely responsive and kind host. Lots of dishes, cookware, appliances to use. Extremely comfortable beds. Three pristine bathrooms. Clean fridge. Stellar and stunning ocean views! Perfect all around

This house is extraordinary. The history, the decor, the comfort. The best stocked kitchen we have ever seen (plus an additional half kitchen). This may be minor, but they had lots of extras towels, face cloths and toilet paper. And the views - unbelievable! Alan's support as host was impeccable - as friendly and he was efficient. We will definitely return!

The house was amazing. Very remote and quiet. But only 30 minutes to busier locations with shopping, restaurants, etc. Within 10 minutes, RoseBay Bistro & Market and Dear Emma Pizza (incredible!) provide all you need otherwise. The beach is incredible. Sitting in the chairs at the edge of the beach, over the dunes, is the perfect spot for morning coffee or a happy hour cocktail! The house design is like a piece of art - the many levels and nooks make it a very unique experience. It is well furnished with all sorts of things you might want to enjoy your stay. Very thoughtful. We look forward to a return visit.

Raquel’s place, “Vista Del Mar,” is absolutely gorgeous!! The open concept of the main level allows for guests to dine and intermingle while enjoying the picturesque view of St. Margaret’s Bay. Raquel was quick to respond to messages and was a pleasure to talk to! A short scenic drive to Peggy’s Cove and Halifax. Would definitely recommend this spot to anyone travelling to Nova Scotia. Thank you Raquel for having our group at your place!

Gorgeous home in a beautiful location! My family and I loved our stay. The house was very clean, spacious, and well furnished. The view of the water from the deck (and throughout the home) is incredible. It was an added bonus that the home is stocked with fun toys for children. My toddler was in heaven! Simon and Megan are great hosts. They were very easy to communicate with, provided clear instructions, and gave great recommendations for things to do/places to visit in the area. I highly recommend this home and would love to come visit again!

Above and Beyond Booked this trip for a group of 7 guys in our early 30s, and it couldn’t have worked out better. Everyone had their own bed, and the space was the perfect size for us with all the facilities we needed. The views were stunning. I knew it was on the ocean, but wow - photos really don’t do it justice. While we were there, some of us spotted seals and even saw a whale — a pretty exciting wildlife moment. Not sure how common that is, but it was a highlight for us, being from out of province . Uber does reach the property, which made a night out in Halifax easy, though we also rented a car to get around — both options worked well. Huge thanks to the hosts. We’d love to come back

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 thoroughly enjoyed your place, the beautiful location, the space and all the extra fun games. Thank you.
