**Private enough for skinny dipping for the more adventurous souls** The Steeple Cottage is a unique combination of history and luxury. Check out the aerial picture. The Steeple sits on one of the highest set of capes on the Island .....magnificent!! We are a much coveted 4.5 Star rating with Canada Select/ PEI Tourism.

The Steeple Cottage is located on the beautiful peninsula of Point Prim in eastern PEI. 'The Steeple' is close to the end of the peninsula and off the road by .7 of a kilometer , sitting high on the capes over looking the Hillsborough and Orwell Bays. Direct access to miles of secluded shoreline...great for swimming and beachcombing! You'll have your own private beach nestled in the cape on your way down to the shore.
Our capital city 'Charlottetown' is an easy, pleasant 30 minute drive. Lively downtown. Theatre, restaurants and night life.

Great Stay

The Steeple Cottage is a great place to come and stay for a relaxing vacation and as a home base for the east of PEI. Melody was a great host, easy to communicate with and thorough in her guidance on use of the equipment at the house and her suggestions for what to see and where to eat. The house is certainly one of a kind, and the location and with a beach area and ability to get down to the water. We were also able to make good use of the steeple lounge area. The house has everything you need, including kitchen utensils, towels, and W/D.

Steeple Cottage

We loved our time at this cottage! It is beautiful inside. The location is quiet and secluded. We went kayaking and saw several seals! It was very difficult to access the kayaks from under the steps while walking on big uneven rocks. We did not walk on the beach because of all the uneven rocks on the beach.

A beautiful property! Wonderfully appointed, and it had EVERYTHING you need for a serene, restful vacation. Hosts were so gracious and kind, and you could tell from the moment you walked into the cottage that you were going to experience something very special! So many local attractions within close driving proximity, or just stay at the cottage and enjoy the marvelous sunsets, visiting eagles, and/or scenery. A remarkable experience for our 50th wedding anniversary, and fond memories for a lifetime.

Sweet solitude

The Steeple Cottage was just what I needed to get away from it all. It was unseasonably cold during our stay so we were able to enjoy the view, local artisans at Kro in The Skye and Belfast Mini mills. Everyone we met welcomed us. Mel has created a truly special cottage by the sea.

The Perfect Escape

The Steeple Cottage is enchanting, the veiws spectaular, and Melody is a gracious host! We spent close to a week at this wonderful place and truly did not want to leave. The cottage is so comfortable and homey. The views of the water are incedible. A hummingbird flew right up while I relaxed with a book. We cannot say enough about how welcoming and helpful Melody was. We will definetly return.

Beyond our expectations

Everything about The Steeple Cottage and Mel exceeded all our expectations! After a week of busy travel, spending the last week of our vacation here was the perfect decision. The cottage is surrounded by nature! From the wildlife, to the ocean, to nights on the roof top deck, we couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing get away! The cottage had everything we could possibly need and more ! Mel was an amazing host, making sure we were all settled in and giving us tips on local things to see/do. We didn’t turn the tv on once while we were there, we were too busy kayaking, sitting at the beach, seaglass collecting, exploring the area and just unwinding. Definitely recommend The Steeple Cottage and would love to go back soon. Thanks for everything Mel.

Garden of Eden

We stayed for our honeymoon, and this was truly an island Paradise. Mel has taken care of every last detail and provided everything you need, without wasting space in anything you don't! There were two old pedal bikes to ride down the point, two kayaks to paddle out to secluded waters, a brand new grill, a rooftop overlook for watching the sunrise and sunset, great views, great privacy, great everything. We will definitely try to come back for our anniversary. Amazing place to stay!

Beautiful...stunning...secluded...restful...rejuvenating

PEI is the land of stories and now we too have our own PEI stories and the Steeple Cottage plays a large role in those stories (and memories). When we first entered the Steeple Cottage the sun was shining in through the old refurbished church windows, illuminating the insides with natural light. We looked at each other, knowing we had made the right choice for our vacation. It was beautiful; one might even say it was literally breath taking. As we spent the next week there we came to appreciate even more the unique features of the cottage whether it was the view from the bell tower, the unique king size bed in what we came to call affectionately the “cave” with its beautiful painted murals, the outside “chubb tub” and shower, or the great indoor shower. We took great delight in all its unique features whether it was sipping that first morning coffee while looking out through those magnificent old church windows across the Northumberland Strait as the sun slowly lit up the seascape, catching the occasional shooting star as we sat upon the bell tower gazing dreamily up at the night sky, watching the local resident bald eagle glide upon the air currents above, or walking at low tide digging for claims (mostly unsuccessfully) but mostly enjoying the walking and talking with no one around in a remarkably beautiful and secluded setting. One of the best surprises was the outdoor tub. I confess we both found it shall we say somewhat odd (really – a tub outside) but after my first “bath” laying there in the warm water as the sun shone down upon me, well I was hooked and so was my partner. We both loved simply laying in that tub in the afternoon with the light shining down upon us before the sun disappeared behind the trees. While there were kayaks and bikes to be used, we opted for a more quiet and uneventful stay. We simply enjoyed the time to unwind in the seclusion that the Steeple Cottage offered. In a world of franticness it offered us an island of tranquility and we made sure we made the best use of our time there to unwind. It was a time of rest, rejuvenation and provided the perfect opportunity for us to step outside our busy lives and reconnect. Mel and Val were the perfect hosts. They were always there to answer our questions, or occasionally would check in with us to see if there was anything we needed while remaining respectful of our space and time, never intruding. I hope we can return there again next year.

This was our first trip in many years. We were not disappointed. The cottage is amazing and provides everything you need for a wonderful experience. The property is gorgeous and the owners very friendly and helpful-Mel and Val are amazing! Mel and Val have truly provided a once in a lifetime experience; they have not forgotten a thing! We highly recommend a vacation to this island paradise! The outside shower and bathtub was an amazing experience. The serenity, solitude and privacy were of utmost importance to us and the Steeple delivered! Well Done!

After reading all the reviews there really isn't much we can add. They simply state the truth about this place and the hosts. If you need a break from the rat race at home or some time to reconnect with the one you love, this truly is the place that can make that happen. Thank you Melody and Val for sharing your little piece of paradise.

Perfection!

We came to Prince Edward Island for our 40th wedding anniversary and we could not have found a more romantic place to stay! The steeple cottage was amazing with so many unbelievable details. We felt like we stepped out of the real world into a fairytale one. We loved watching the amazing sunsets and having campfires after the sun went down. We would walk the shoreline and did some kayaking and the red cliffs come alive with brilliant color at sunset. We would sit on the rooftop deck and the screened steeple room for all of our meals and just to relax and have a drink and look at the amazing view. We took time to explore the island and to go play on the wonderful beaches but we would always look forward to the time when we could be "home". We have done a lot of traveling and staying in VRBOs and B and Bs and there really has never been another place like this one! Thanks Mel and Val for being such friendly and caring hosts and for sharing this wonderful place with others. What a gift you are giving to us! We had a hard time leaving and are already dreaming of when we could come back. Mark and Sandy Hudson Wisconsin USA

About the host

Hosted by Mel

Host profile image
Hi, Welcome from us, Melody and Val. We hope you'll decide to stay at 'The Steeple'. Val and I are both from P.E.I and have grown up at opposite ends of the Island, therefore we have a working knowledge of this wonderful Island from one end to the other. We have been living in Pt. Prim for 25 years. When You stay at The Steeple you'll be on the same 25 acres as our house (you get to be closer to the shore!). Plenty of space and privacy for both of us, the woods create a 'living barrier', your privacy is as important as ours. We are close enough but far enough away. If you have questions or looking for suggestions on where to eat, sightsee etc or wonder when the best tides are to dig some clams or where you can buy some lobsters right from the wharf, we'll be glad to help and share whatever knowledge we have.
