Our stay at Periwinkle Cottage was wonderful. Cozy place to stay. The people on this island are some of the friendliest in the world. There was nothing about our time or stay that was less than wonderful.

The amazing and totally renovated oceanfront cottage was the perfect spot for Elizabeth and her partner! We made an exception to rent the private oceanfront cottage with decks, firepit and screened in porch overlooking the ocean for one night only for Elizabeth which we rarely do.

We spent an amazing 3 days watching the tides and whales and eagles just drift by. So peaceful and the cottage is absolutely perfect. Above and beyond.
We had a wonderful 5-night stay at the well-appointed Periwinkle cottage. The house had all modern conveniences and furniture. The view of the ocean were exceptional and travel to nearby attractions was easy. We highly recommend the Periwinkle cottage.
This was our first time on Campobello Island and this was the perfect place for us. Beautiful setting , super clean and quiet. Had everything we needed . We caught a beautiful sunset our 1st night then the weather got crappy but there were plenty of interesting books to read. Would love to be around when the whales are in town. All of the other properties look just as nice.

Bonnie and Bruce were the best! They loved the wonderful and renovated oceanfront Periwinkle Cottage and the great views at the cottage. We hope they are able to return! Highly recommend the Hawthornes to other Hosts!
Wonderful, well decorated/located gem on Campobello Island
My husband and I had a great time at Periwinkle, loved the cottage, it is well equipped and decorated with lots of antiques and unique pieces giving it a "back in time" and modern feel; the flowers all around the house add a nice and coloured touch; the view is amazing and there are so many different spots from where to enjoy it, including the two chairs on the cliff at the end of the property, where you can see and hear whales; the cottage is also perfectly situated, close to the lighthouse, the park, a wharf, a new restaurant and convenience store, and so much more!

We loved having Catherine at the Periwinkle and highly recommend her to any of our four private oceanfront cottages on idyllic Campobello Island!
We were driving from Montreal to Halifax for a graduation and we were looking for a place to stay for a couple of nights before the graduation day. This charming cottage was available (it was fully booked for the whole month) and we booked it right away. It is a gem! Beautiful view of the ocean. Hurricane Fiona hit the coast on our first night, but we were cozy and warm despite the strong winds. Campobello Island is gorgeous. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Periwinkle cottage. Highly recommended.
This cabin is newly renovated and just lovely, with lots of light, comfy beds (there are actually two queen bedrooms which is more than the original listing said), a nicely stocked kitchen, and best of all - a wonderful view from the deck. A screened in porch, in addition to the deck, makes being outside possible no matter what the weather. We loved the location on the island and really didn’t want to leave when our time there was up.
What a delightful place to stay. The cottage was beautiful and tastefully appointed. Dennis is a great host. The view from the back deck was stunning. The only downside... we didn't stay long enough. This property is a real gem.
The cottage and location were beautiful, with great views of the bay -- we saw whales and porpoises from the deck, but also from the lighthouse down the road. Beautifully decorated and very clean. Great hosts, who stopped by to chat and see if we needed anything. It was wonderful to simply relax and enjoy a place that's a bit off the beaten tourist path.
We loved every minute. Sweet rental and very responsive host.

Very good
This property was great. It had everything I expected and was exactly as I thought it would be. I would recommend this property to others and I would stay here again.
For anyone who hasn't been to Campobello you need to go, and stay at this cottage. Easy to get to, small but lots of space, truly well setup. Can't wait to stay again!

We were so happy to host Matt and his wife at the Periwinkle Cottage and welcome them back anytime!
If you are in need of a larger private oceanfront cottage then check out the Whale of a View Cottage, Starfish Cottage or the Sea Urchin Cottage.
We highly recommend Matt and his family to other cottage hosts.
The location was amazing. It was our first vacation as family since the birth of our child. He had an amazing time. The cottage was emaculate, and the views were outstanding

Periwinkle Cabin was perfect!
Our stay was definitely too short. The cabin had everything we needed and then some!
Very clean and cute. Décor was fun and interesting. A mini lighthouse at the entrance of the cabin! Lots of extras; cribbage board, books on the area, Tv, phone, screened in porch as well as open porch with a hammock overlooking the bay. I photographed several whales, seals, bald eagles, ospreys. Cute little sitting area with a fire pit closer to the water. Just amazing! Thank you Dennis and Margaret for sharing your little piece of heaven! We cant wait to come back!

what a lovely and amazing spot
We had a simply lovely time at this bijoux cottage. We saw whales, porpoises and so many bald eagles it was amazing. No need to go on whale tours if you stay here. The cottage itself is very cute and tiny. I would not suggest more than two stay there as it is a cozy fit. We love Campobello and this is a perfect place to just chill and watch the ocean and wait for a whale to popup. I would definitely suggest a stay at any of the cottages owned by Mr. Haire, they are all nice as we have stayed on one before.

Lovely view and porch
We enjoyed our stay at the Periwinkle Cottage. The screened in porch was wonderful when the bugs were out in force. For averages size people, the cottage itself is quite small. The bed seems to be a double and the mattress has seen better days.
Planning the trip was easy as the owners always responded to questions via email within 24 hours.

Perfect cottage for Two
Periwinkle cottage is the perfect place for two to stay, recharge, watch sunsets, and wake up to the eagles. It's at the lighthouse end of the island, leaving plenty to explore and enjoy. A screened in porch offers a little more room and a retreat if it rains or the mosquitoes come out! We loved it. This property is too small for a family with children, but it is equipped with a working kitchen and lots of cross ventilation. We loved 55 degree mornings and 70 degree evenings and wonderful sunshine. The cabin is close to the shore to watch for whales.

Unique, rustic cabin, what a gem!
Excellent location on cliff overlooking bay. Screened porch, deck just added. Furnishings inside and out excellent. Decor homey, coastal theme. Books, collection of sea glass, use of space, all were awesome. Wish we could have stayed longer.
