About this property

Beautiful and spacious "home away from home" for amazing summer fun & relaxation

Welcome to the Garden Suite!

Located only a few minutes from Kensington and 45 minutes from Charlottetown, our beautiful country home is located centrally in Prince County on beautiful Prince Edward Island. You are just minutes away from all amenities, including the finest Island golf courses, Island attractions and both of our gorgeous north and south shores which offer the most amazing beaches.

Drive down to the wharf to pick up the freshest seafood or the aqua farms for a big feed of mussels or find one of our many farmers markets for fresh island produce. You can also go on a beautiful drive down our winding country roads for exceptional photo opportunities.

Please enjoy your little welcome surprise and feel free to take in the hosts guidebooks and recommendations binder for insights into the island that may help plan your next outing. There you will find information regarding local businesses to support, surrounding community information, dining locales, grocery stores and entertainment options. There, you will also find the WIFI password so you may connect to all things internet.

The Garden Suite offers everything for you, your family and friends to enjoy the most luxurious and relaxing getaway. It is truly your home away from home. Enjoy our beautifully appointed rooms, with a coastal, nautical feel and beachy vibe & comfortable accommodations throughout. This is a creative endeavor in progress, so there will always be new information added as we expand to offer our guests the most well rounded experience.

If you love to cook, you will love our deluxe kitchen, complete with new appliances and basic pantry necessities to get you started. There is a ton of cupboard space to stock up on your favorite things, and please indulge yourselves in the large open concept kitchen and dining room that comes complete with a breakfast bar for extra seating. Perfect for family dinners or entertaining a dinner party with friends.

There is a four person jacuzzi tub in the master bedroom, so you can soak away the long day of sightseeing or treat yourself to an evening of pampering with a spa-like ambience .
On cooler, not so beachy days or when weather is inclement, curl up near the fireplace with a cozy blanket and a good book or watch a favorite series on the Roku. Relax in the spacious living room and take in the beauty of the cathedral ceilings.

Both bedrooms are spacious, beautifully appointed and decorated and offer cozy queen beds for the most wonderful sleep at your home away from home. The host can offer extra blankets or pillows upon request or sheet change if necessary. Please inquire. Large, mirrored closets guarantee ample storage for your baggage, clothing and gear, so you can easily move in and feel at home. If additional bedding is needed for extra guests that have been pre-approved at the time of booking, an air mattress can be set up. Please inquire with the host at the time of booking if you require additional accommodations to make your stay exceptional. Additional guests on the booking can be accommodated with a fee.

Enjoy the large front patio with a canopy and beautiful ambient lighting for outdoor dining and evening entertaining or enjoy the sunrise over morning coffee and breakfast. To the back of the Garden Suite there is a second deck where you can grill and BBQ or sit and watch the gorgeous sunsets.

Just beyond the back deck and tree line is the "back forty", where you can run around and play games with the kids during the day, or enjoy the lovely firepit for your evening pleasure. If you have never gazed up into the darkness of an island night then you are in for something exquisite. Get cozy 'round the fir or on a pitch black night and look up to witness what appears to be the whole universe. For those escaping the city this will be a real treat as our night skies are perfect for stargazing!
Please inquire with the host if you require firewood as this would be an amenity that could be offered by the bundle for an additional fee.

Please enjoy the lovely pruned and landscaped yard and gardens that have been lovingly cared for by the owner and host. Take a walk around the property and take in the lushness of your surroundings and the vastness of the great maples. Your stay at the Garden Suite offers ultimate privacy from the surrounding homes, care of the gorgeous cedar hedge that lines the property. We hope you love the views as much as we do.

The hostess has a small doggo that you may see running around in the yard from time to time, so we caution our guests to please drive in and out of the horseshoe shaped driveway slowly and with care. There is ample parking in front of the Garden Suite and also a spot just off to one side of the home for your consideration.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to Shelley with any of your questions, concerns or inquiries, as we wish for our guests to have the most exceptional hospitality and vacation experience as possible.

Thank you for booking your stay with The Garden Suite, nestled in Margate, in little PEI! We hope your holiday on the island is as wonderful as you had hoped and more and if there is anything we can do to make your stay more relaxing or accommodating, please let us know how we can help.

Your faithful host,
Shelley

Nice
This was an overall nice place but we couldnt enjoy the outside areas due to the property had overgrown plants & a lot of hornets. Also inside there were a lot of ants & insects crawling around. The second bathroom didnt have a proper sink to brush your teeth & wash your face, it had a laundry tub. Also the mattress in that second room was very uncomfortable. The house was roomy & spacious was disappointed about the things listed. We paid 706.10 for two nights but couldnt enjoy it. This place needs an exterminator. It had insect nests in the washroom in main bedroom. I hate to give a bad review but unless the manager isnt informed, they cant fix the issues.

About the host

Hosted by Shelley MacEwen

Host profile image
Shelley is a retired registered nurse who has lived in Margate for over thirty years. She has a creative mind and loves to care for others and wanted others to enjoy the beautiful Garden Suite as much as she does, so she decided to open it up to guests.

What makes this property unique

The Garden Suite sits on a beautiful property that shares two homes, both of which are completely private and independent of one another. What makes our space so unique is the most gorgeous cedar hedge that lines the property and provides protection from the busy road out front and offers a discreet environment where you feel like you are at your own private villa, surrounded in beautiful gardens and greenery. The property offers a private area behind the home that offers a safe area for children or pets to run and play, and also another private area where families can enjoy a nice campfire after sunset. Our home also offers not one but two patio/decks for your enjoyment. A covered canopy with beautiful coloured lights that offer lovely ambience after the sun goes down for outdoor entertainment or enjoyment as well as a lovely back deck, equipped with a BBQ, so you may grill up dinner or just enjoy sitting at the back and watching a gorgeous sunset.
The Garden Suite offers a wonderfully spacious environment, beautifully appointed and decorated rooms and even a spa-like jacuzzi tub in the master bedroom where you can pamper yourself with ultimate relaxation. There is something here for everyone!

The Garden Suite offers a perfect get away for couples, small families or friends who want to experience a gorgeous home environment, centrally located and close to all the best amenities the island has to offer, while staying on the east coast, instead of being in a stuffy hotel or cramped space.
