Beachfront vacation rentals in Balmy Beach

This place is in a still location right by the water. It’s just like described. We could hear the waves on the shoreline from our beds. It was a so peaceful and private. The cottage had everything we needed. The cute garden gnomes all around the property were adorable. We enjoyed watching the stars while sitting by the firepit. We went in the fall so it was cool out, but I’m sure the kayaks and water toys would be amazing in the warm season. We will definitely be back again!

This a fabulous place to stay. It is so beautifully curated so that even though it is not a large space the hosts have included everything you need. There is a very, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, games,a great entertainment system, and its steps from the beach. If you like to walk you can easily access trails as well as the main strip. Fabulous! Thank you!

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.

The little lake lookout cottage was the perfect get away with my mom and dog! It was wonderful how dog-friendly the cottage was, and the fenced in yard was so convenient! The cottage was such a cozy home away from home for us and located close to many trials to us to de-plug, unwind and enjoy nature :) Elizabeth was incredibly friendly and responsive and an excellent host making sure our stay was as comfortable as possible! We hope to return again!

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!

This place is a real treasure! The sandy beach is gorgeous out front. Lots of outdoor seating space. I liked that it was surrounded by trees at the back but open to the water and sand in the front. It's cozy and the kitchen has everything you need. I loved the fireplace and the beds and couch were comfortable. I was there in April and it was very quiet.... I didn't see anyone on the beach or around it. It is a short drive to great hiking and a grocery store that has all you need. I would definitely return!

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.

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 cottage was beautiful! A great trip to Tobermory, close enough to the main strip and the national parks. The view was great and we saw different wildlife as we came and went. We came in a cooler season, but heaters worked well and we enjoyed the sunroom a lot. Gencay was very helpful and responsive to any questions. Definitely recommend and even consider booking it again in the warmer weather!

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

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!

Such a beautiful place! We spent a wonderful 4 days in this peaceful spot. A nice hot tub under the winter stary sky was a great bonus. The inside of this cottage was very clean and had everything needed for our stay. It is modernly decorated as well as comfortable. A great spot for a family gathering or romantic get a way for two. Highly recommended!

We had a great time! Lots of water toys for the kids (kayaks, paddle boards etc). Walking distance to playground and town. Fishing was fun and beautiful scenery from our front window. We can’t wait to go 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!

Jane was an amazing host with a beautiful home and peaceful, gorgeous waterfront garden. She was responsive even before we got there with local recommendations and while we were there as well. She ensured we had everything we needed and really opened up her home to us. Would definitely stay again if I was back in the region!
