Perched on the rugged coastline of Terence Bay, Back Bay Cottage offers a quiet, immersive escape where the rhythm of the ocean sets the pace of your stay. This thoughtfully designed retreat blends modern comfort with a deep respect for its natural surroundings, creating a space that feels both refined and grounded.
From the moment you arrive, the setting takes over—windswept grasses, rocky shoreline, and uninterrupted views of the Atlantic stretching to the horizon. The cottage is positioned to capture light throughout the day, with expansive windows framing shifting skies, passing boats, and the soft glow of sunrise and sunset over the water.
Inside, the atmosphere is warm and minimal. Natural materials—wood, stone, and soft textiles—create a calm, tactile environment. The living space is open and airy, anchored by a cozy seating area that invites you to unwind after a day outdoors. Whether it’s a quiet morning coffee or an evening with a glass of wine, the connection to the landscape is constant.
The kitchen is fully equipped, designed for both casual meals and slow, intentional cooking. Bedrooms are restful with soft light and views that make waking up feel effortless.
Step outside and the experience expands. A generous deck or patio provides space to sit, gather, or simply watch the tide roll in and out. The air carries the scent of salt and spruce, and the sound of waves becomes a constant companion. On cooler nights, the setting feels even more intimate—perfect for stargazing or listening to the wind move across the bay.
Back Bay Cottage isn’t about excess or distraction. It’s about clarity, stillness, and connection—to the landscape, to the ocean, and to a slower way of being. Whether you're seeking solitude, creative inspiration, or time with close friends or family, this is a place where everything unnecessary falls away, and what remains feels exactly right.
