Welcome to “Sea, Sand and Stars Cottage, where you will experience the overwhelming wonder of the ocean, PEI’s beautiful and clean soft red sand, perfect quietness, and amazing starry night skies.
The cottage is situated on a large grassy, pine and larch bordered lot, part of a 2.5 acre property. It overlooks the cape, our 500 ft. beach and the expansive ocean of the Northumberland Strait. The beach is accessed by a short walk through the wooded area at the side of the yard. Plan to relax or build sand castles.
Walk the beach for miles either to the Miminegash Harbor where fishing boats come and go carrying their seasonal catches which one can purchase, or walk the other direction from the property past iron laden water seeping from the cape, a view of the windmills and many more of the stunning, ever changing ocean waves and sunsets.
Miminegash harbor is a one mile walk along the beach.It is the little fishing village with 2 small convenience stores, a post office and a gas station. Continuing through the village takes you to the door of the famous “Seaweed Pie Restaurant” where mouth watering seaweed pie and coffee await you.
To be sure this is a most relaxing home in which to vacation.

Beautiful Oceanside Cottage
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Miminegash
This cottage was the absolute only property that was perfect for us. It has a wide, expansive, clean beach with shallow water for children to play, The beach has easy access through a short path that winds through some trees, shrubs and flowers and only 1 easy step down to the beach. The house was very clean and well maintained, well furnished with only special additions needed to make it our own. There is a large verandah in which we installed windows so that we now can use it in all weather and at any time of the day. We were sold on this feature as a wonderful place to eat breakfast while watching the fishing boats and dinner watching the sunsets. The yard is large so our grandchildren (if they are not at the beach) can play safely.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
The greatest benefit of this cottage is the peacefulness that it provides. There are only a few cottages on the lane beyond us so we are very private and quiet. The darkness of no street lights allows the stars to shine at their brightest and fullest displays. I can not help but stand and look up and marvel at them. Our local neighbors, who live just over 1 K away are wonderful, helpful and have quickly became our friends. They are a constant source of information for us and help us with the needs of the cottage. We enjoy the short trips to the small towns for groceries and other needs where we never see a red/green light. One quickly becomes known as being "from Away" and friendly conversation is just natural for the people of PEI.

Owner's Map of Miminegash
Welcome to our "Home Away from Home" Cottage on Prince Edward Island, Canada. In 2007 we visited the Maritime Provinces on a whim and absolutely fell in love with the ocean, the life style and the people. That led us to almost buy a property on the spot, but we decided to look around a little first. After looking at 75 properties in the Maritime Provinces we finally found this cottage and knew immediately that it was the place for us. Since purchasing it in August, 2008, we have been out there (from Alberta) 4 times for extended periods and have rented it for a good portion of this past summer. Our whole family came to spend their vacation this year and all wanted to stay. They and friends describe it as being heavenly. From the guest book comments this summer, we are sure that like us, you would go away from a vacation at this cottage refreshed and relaxed just like we do. Welcome to our "Home" Irene and Gene Huber
