Very nice location with a short walk to a very nice beach. Excellent communication with the owner. Short drives to Kensington or Summerside for whatever you might need.

Lovely cottage. Short walk to the best beach in PEI. The cottage has everything you need.

We loved that the cottage had a lovely big lawn to play frisbee, golf chipping and soccer. The kitchen had everything you need, including tools for lobster. Big fluffy white towels in the bathrooms and nice comfy beds in the bedrooms. We were very pleased.

Very clean and well maintained. A delightful 'home away from home'!!

The location was excellent within a five minute walk to a superb beach. The chalet was neat and tidy with everything that a family of seven could possibly need during a one week stay. We enjoyed the location and visited several local places of interest. We had a delicious fish fry in Malpeque one evening and joined in a kitchen party on another night. The sunset walks on the beach were fantastic as well as bonfires after dark.. All-in-all, a highly successful family holiday on PEI!! Highly recommended!

Magical PEI

This PEI Chalet was magical. The location was magnificent, between pond and short walk to red sand ocean. The chalet was comfortable, relaxing and stocked with everything you'd find in grandma's cottage. It was spacious and airy to enjoy and rainy day inside. The owner is amazing. We arrived to fresh flowers on the wrap deck. What a welcome! All the info packets were available as well. I would highly recommend this chalet for your family location. One of the best my family had. Thank you!
