A lovely, charming cottage, located just a minute drive from beautiful, scenic Island beaches and a golf course. A 10 minute walk (or 5 minute bike ride) from the National Park, and a 20 minute drive to the city of Charlottetown - close enough but still far enough away to enjoy the country charm. The cottage has a wonderfully big yard - perfect for campfires. Located in a fishing town, we are surrounded by options for fresh, local seafood, and close to excursions such as deep sea fishing, canoeing or kayaking.

Great little property. Kept very clean and far away from any noise of the city. 2 bedroom with kitchen and living room area to socialize for 2 couples. I would definitely stay here again.
It was just me and our 7 year old special needs son enjoying a quiet getaway and this cottage had everything we needed; great kitchen, laundry, 2 full bedrooms with very comfortable beds, lots of outdoor space and a location that is central to use as a base to explore the whole island or just to stay close and spend days walking the beach 5 minutes down the road..
Great place, conveniently close to a good fish and chip spot. My only critique is they need to have garbage bags, other than that its a beautiful little spot
The property was as advertised and worked well for our family vacation to PEI. Located near the National Park (host provided a pass) and close to Charlottetown and Cavendish. If you chose to stay here, I would definitely recommend eating at the nearby resturant, Finns.
We thoroughly enjoyed this property with our two pups. Lovely cottage and property. Very handy - 2 minute drive - to a beach which was new to us Dalvay Beach. Gorgeous! 20 minutes to Charlottetown and Rustico so centrally located and nice to see some different communities along the way. Cottage was very well appointed, comfortable beds and well stocked kitchen. We had a lovely and relaxing week. The fire pit and clothesline were great added amenities. We would definitely recommend this cottage for its great location and comfortable cottage vibe.

Close to provincial beaches
Far from grocery or any stores. one eating place close by Very limited tv channels Park pass included
The cottage is your typical PEI cottage, rustic but with lovely linens, and an air conditioner in the main room which is amazing. The washer and dryer, large fridge, full size stove ...makes it perfect. We sincerely appreciated how chilled they were about our big dog. Very close to the beach you can bring your dog too. We would definitely stay again.
Great stay and nice accommodations. My only recommendation is to change the wifi password in the email Vrbo sends. The email has your mom's phone number.

Centrally located
Cottage is centrally located. Our plan was to explore whole island and was able to do this from the house without any overlap. The yard was unfenced but nice and large for our dog. Unfortunately the inside of house could have been cleaner, dirt in the kitchen drawers, and overall needed a good scrub down. Our dog spent the majority of time hiding in the bathroom because of flies in the house. The towels smelt horrible, as if they were just run thru dryer with too many dryer sheets. The three trash toters outside were overflowing and wild animals had pulled items out. We did pull one toter out to street on appropriate day but should not be the renters responsibility. Otherwise could be a really cute cottage. Right near by was Harry’s Dairy bar and Tracadie Beach Harbour walk both were highlights of our trip.
Upon arriving the house was adorable and the location ideal. However, the inside needs a good cleaning.
There were big black ants crawling around.
The basement was moldy and I had to cover my face to do laundry, due to having asthma. The floors need a good scrubbing.
This place has some major potential and with a little money spent it could draw almost co stant clientele.
Petit chalet rustique avec tout le nécessaires pour cuisiner. Les chambres sont confortables et la gallerie tres agreable pour prendrevson cafe ou faire le 5 à 7. Malheureusement il n'y avait pas de bois pour utiliser le foyer exterieur mais un grand terrain pour degourdir les pattes de pitou. Le chalet est à proximité du parc nationnal et à 20 min de Charlottetown. Ca serait vendeur de mettre une photo du chalet pour montrer la belle gallerie.
Decently equipped, clean, nice deck. No beach view if you are looking for one but otherwise nice.

Weekend Away
Owner very helpful…lives right next door. The home was clean.. a little off the beaten path depending on where your going. The home itself is an older home and the furnishings were somewhat outdated.. Some of the kitchen items provided were not very good quality , especially the silverware , The curtains in the livingroom they were not adequate to cover the window properly at night especially if your using the pull out sofa to sleep on. There was 6 of us staying ..4 adults , 2 Children .. Also the kitchen table only accommodates 4 seats .. so we could not all eat together .. at the table.. Other than that we love the outdoor fire pit to enjoy with our grandchildren at night. We were just happy to be on the Island having a good time.
