Large Oceanfront Summer Home on Beautiful Howe Bay
- Minimum stay:Contact owner

- Pets allowed:Yes
- Wheel chair accessible:No
A beautiful summertime retreat, our 'Summer Home' offers all the comforts of home in an incredible oceanfront setting!
The house was thoughtfully designed to take advantage of the magnificent scenery of Howe Bay with windows and sliding glass doors all along the front of the building. High vaulted ceilings and skylights provide an open, airy and illuminated summer living area.
The gourmet kitchen is built centrally around a large island and features a countertop gas cooking surface with side grill, built-in convection and microwave ovens as well as all other new Electrolux Icon appliances. Fully equipped with Island made Paderno cookware, chefs and cooks will find all that they may wish for. The long dining room table seats many and provides a wide view of the ever changing tides.
For many of our guests, the large screened-in porch is the ultimate summer room: breakfast or lunch with a view and lazy afternoons reading or napping on comfortable day beds while enjoying the sounds of the sea and lovely ocean breeze... (Sun lovers may prefer the tiered tiled decks with cedar lounges and outdoors dining/sitting area!)
Leave the cool porch and find seating elsewhere in the house: a bright front sitting room with a 12 feet wide patio-door and spectacular panoramic view, a quiet cozy evening area in front of the wood burning fireplace and a separate TV room with large plasma flat screen unit and home theater sound system. The upstairs bedrooms also have quiet corners with chairs and couches.
With five bedrooms (three queen size beds and two doubles + single pull out lazy boy couch) and four bathrooms (two of these en suite), the house will easily accommodate up to 11 -and more- people.
Plan to walk and explore the miles of deserted beaches and vast sand bars; venture out with the large canoe or two-men kayak at your disposition; dive into the deep water at the sandy point and try to swim against the current; or run over the sand and the shallows into the waves and the high surf... At the end of the day, sit around a lively bonfire under the stars and enjoy the very best of company!

There were 6 adults and 6 little girls (ages 3 to 8) staying in the house and we would do it again. It had everything we could have asked for to help make our vacation memorable and the owners seemed very aware of all the information to provide to ensure a great stay. On top of that the location is beautiful and many other places to visit nearby.Recommended for: Families with young children.

We had a great time at the Howe Bay Summer Home. The house is very large, and more than easily accommodated our group of ten (two families of four, including four children 5 and under), and another couple, with ample comfortable space to spread out and relax during our holiday. The beach and sand bar were a hit with the kids, and access to the canoe and kayak was ideal. The house is very well equipped - everything you could imagine needing for a beach holiday - and the kitchen was truly at the heart of the home, so that the chef could still be part of the activities. The owners were very helpful, and if we had any problems they were sorted out in an efficient and friendly way. They provided great recommendations on local attractions, and the town of Souris is very close and provided everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the local fish markets, and enjoyed fresh seafood for dinner almost every night. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you would need to make virtually any meal you can imagine! The photos on the listing accurately reflected the home and the quality of the decor, and the house and property were clean and well maintained. In some ways the photos do not do justice to the open nature of the house and the surrounding grounds. We would happily recommend this property, and hope to be able to visit again in the future. It was a delight to stay at this summer home.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, girls getaway, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children.

Our stay here was our third visit to P.E.I. and again we were extremely happy with our choice of location and house. The beautiful view of the ocean and surrounding land were second to none with the family of Sea lions being an added bonus every morning. The house was very lovely with lots of space for everyone and all the amenities needed for an enjoyable week.Grocery shopping in Souris was very convenient and the location put us within an easy drive of many day trip locations. Thank you to Jovette and Lawrence for making us feel very welcome and sharing their beautiful home.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children.

My family stayed here with friends (total of 4 adults and 5 kids) and loved every minute! The house is very large, clean and amazingly well stocked. The kitchen is a dream! We loved the loungers on the deck, the large grassy 'front yard', and exploring the ocean as the tide went out. A lone seal even let us get close to him on our last day. The property itself is spectacular - and I would definitely recommend it to friends.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children.
