Hi there and thanks for giving us a look!
We trust that no effort has been spared in order to provide you with a memorable vacation experience in one of Maritime Canada's most attractive cities. The Roseport building and our condominium are brand new having been completed in January 2009. It is elegantly appointed and complete with upscale furnishings.
We are directly on the waterfront with harbor views from every window. Two decks overlook the water and Confederation Landing Park and are complete with patio furniture for afternoon tea, cocktails, sunset viewing and barbecuing.
Getting Here....
Prince Edward Island is accessible via Air Canada year round and from a US gateway during the summer months.
Charlottetown can also be reached easily by car from Boston (11 hours), New York (15 hours), Toronto, Montreal and Quebec via the impressive Confederation Bridge which connects PEI directly to mainland New Brunswick at Tormentine.
Directions from the Eastern US:
Take I95 through Maine to Houlton, ME/Woodstock, NB. Then follow the Trans Canada Highway (Route 2) across New Brunswick passing Fredericton and Moncton to Tormentine. From the PEI side of the bridge, follow the TCH (Route 1 on PEI) into Charlottetown. Take the bypass around Charlottetown into the waterfront district. We are at the junction of Water Street and Lower Hillsborough Street directly next to the Water Street Visitor's Center and Founder's Hall. The exact address is #1 Lower Hillsborough Street in The Roseport Building.
Directions from Toronto, Montreal and Quebec:
Pick up the Trans Canada Highway (Route 2) at Edmundston, NB which is at the Quebec border in Western New Brunswick. Follow the directions above to The Roseport. Travel time from Fredericton to Moncton is about 2 hours and from Moncton to Charlottetown is about 3 hours.
Please note that the Confederation Bridge is a toll bridge with the toll only being collected upon your departure from PEI. The present toll is $43.25 CAD.
Finally, we should make mention of the fact that our name "PEI Vacations on the Waterfront" was selected with the idea in mind to expand our operations in 2011 to include a first-class B&B operation at our home on the North shore of the island at Monticello. This is a magnificent 115 acre property with a private beach, on-site hiking trails, and is located 100 feet from the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. This facility will include breakfast from a screened-in porch overlooking the ocean with sunsets and sunrises over the water for you to enjoy during your stay.
Please check out the Gallery and Recreation pages of our personal website as some of the photos shown there were taken at this location. There is a link to PEI Vacations on the Waterfront from this site to our homepage.
Again, thanks for giving us a look and we look forward to welcoming you at The Roseport this summer or perhaps at our new B&B operation in Monticello.
Sincerely,
Jeff and Miriam - Owner/Operators

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2009
Miriam and I are both "washed ashore" from the states having grown up in New York and coastal New England respectively. Miriam received her undergraduate degree and MBA from Columbia (NYC) and Jeff graduated from Washington & Lee University (VA). We both are professionals. Jeff is a retired commercial banking VP from New York and Miriam completed a long stint as a marketing executive at one of the top IT companies in the world. She is looking forward to greeting guests to the island. We both like to travel ourselves (having done all seven continents) and know what we like when we get somewhere in terms of a first class experience. We believe we are offering one here with this harbor front property and also an elegant B&B experience out at our Northshore property on 115 acres directly on the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Thanks for your interest and we hope to hear from you....
Why the Owner Chose Charlottetown
Miriam and I chose to purchase rental property here because Prince Edward Island offers a remarkable vacation experience with its quaint fishing villages, rolling hills resembling those of Northern Switzerland and its pristine beaches. It is much like Cape Cod in many ways but without all the people....in most places on this island the word "traffic" does not even exist in one's lexicon! Additionally, visitor's to PEI will find a friendly welcome from almost everyone and there exists a spirit of community that is very real here. The Scottish tradition of Celtic music and step-dancing still lives on here on PEI and summer CEILDH's (Celtic music concerts) abound in almost every larger community during the summer months. Weather-wise, there actually is a real summer here (despite the more Northerly latitude) with temperatures in late June, July and August topping out at about 73-76 degrees Fahrenheit (about 23-24C). On most days there is an offshore breeze and air conditioning (while we offer it) is not usually necessary. Temperatures do cool down to the low 60's on most nights in summer and at the end of August it can feel like a September evening would feel on Cape Cod. I guess to sum it up, this place is a just a great spot to "unwind", "smell the flowers" and "relax for a week or two" before resuming the daily pace of life that probably exists in your hometown.
The Unique Benefits of this Condo
If I were to pick a few phrases to describe our Roseport location, these would be among them: Views, views, views and more water views! Elegance and first-class amenities... Walking distance to just about everything - theatre/shopping/antique stores/outdoor bistros/great restaurants (e.g., Lot 30,Sims Steakhouse, The Maple Grille). The availability of first class entertainment at the Confederation Centre of the Arts It's all here and all of it is within a 5 minute walk from your doorstep!

We're back in Florida. We had a wonderful time. Your condo was perfect for accommodation and location. The weather was perfect for 2 weeks. We explored the entire island, ate at all the restaurants you recommended, rode bikes along the confederation trail and played golf on 4 different courses. Lorraine and I walked about every morning on the waterfront boardwalk and played tennis a few times in Victoria Park (great tennis facility). The people are very friendly on PEI and we enjoyed meeting them. One of the restaurant highlights was a scallop dinner at a community restaurant which served all you can eat mussels, seafood chowder and dessert. It was excellent. I'll post some pics soon and send you an email. Thanks again for the opportunity to enjoy PEI. It was excellent and we'll always remember it.

Thank you Miriam & Jeff! Your condo was absolutely perfect for us! We felt comfortable and at home right from the start. All the beautiful extras and touches were much appreciated. I just can't say enough about the whole vacation-from seeing where my father played as a child, to walking the beaches at Brackley, to the wonderful people of PEI. Absolutely perfect!! Thanks again.

Location is everything. And this condo has it-fantastic restaurants, great shopping, and beautiful views. We also woke to see a cruise ship one morning-very cool. The weather was cool-cloudy and rainy-but we still had a wonderful experience exploring PEI! This condo had a lot to do with that. Thanks Jeff. We will tell our friends and family about this place and maybe some day we'll return to the island!
