Honeycomb Cottage - bright, airy and spacious sanctuary with water view!
Nestled in the cozy cottage community of MacIntyre Shore in Donaldston, PEI (Mount Stewart postal district), Honeycomb Cottage is close to many beaches, and a short drive to Charlottetown, Cavendish, golf courses, the National Park, and many outdoor activities. Honeycomb Cottage is winterized too, so it's a great weekend getaway perfect for snowshoeing or winter hikes. There are large front and back yards, a wrap-around deck with BBQ (in summertime), a well-stocked kitchen for cooking, and there is a playground just one lot over from the cottage. Honeycomb Cottage is a perfect vacation home for families, couples or friends. Tourist Establishment License # 2202909.
The main living area is in the centre and has a large, high hexagon-shaped ceiling (hence "Honeycomb Cottage"). The main bedroom and ensuite are off one side of the main living space, and the "guest wing" with two bedrooms, laundry and bathroom is off the other side. All bedrooms have closets and dressers not seen in the photos.
There are some stores nearby with some food and convenience items, but to fully stock up on groceries you will most likely need to go the a big grocery store in Charlottetown (Superstore or Sobeys). Local stores (seasonal) include Jewell's Country Market in Marshfield, The Shore Market at Covehead Harbour in the National Park, and Lily's Convenience, Ultramar & Irving Gas Stations in Dunstaffnage, Scotchfort and Mount Stewart respectively, are open year-round.
There is an "info sheet" with more pertinent information, brochures and suggestions of things to do. There is a TV, no cable, but there is Chrome Cast so you can stream from your phone or tablet.

We had a wonderful time on PEI and Honeycomb Cottage was excellent. Location worked out great since we had family also staying in the vicinity. We have been on the island a number of summers and this cottage was far and away our best experience. We hope to be back . Thank you Dianne !

Thank you Kenneth, glad you enjoyed your stay in PEI at Honeycomb Cottage, and thank you for taking such good care of it while you were there! It was a pleasure to host you and your family :-)

The living area was very impressive! The kitchen was well stocked and easy to find anything we needed. The vaulted ceiling in the living room was so beautiful and gave the feeling of airiness & space. The master br was lovely. The deck with mums & pumpkins was very lovely. We wish we could have used the screened in porch, but didn't have the opportunity.

Thank you Gayle, glad you enjoyed your stay. Maybe next time you can enjoy the screen porch :-)
Drove all the way from Ontario and it was well worth it! Cottage was spacious and clean. Great location close to national park. Also really enjoyed the honeycomb theme as a bee keeper.
Great place to stay!
This was our second stay at the Honeycomb and it was wonderful. The cottage is clean, has everything you need, and the communication with Dianne was clear and prompt. We will be back next year!

Thank you Sarah and family for being great guests. Glad you're already booked for next summer!
Well located, and well laid out, this was perfect for us for a few days on the island. Nice and close to everything we wanted to do, and the layout of the space itself was thoughtful. Everything we needed was available, and we were very comfortable, including on a rainy night with nothing to do but sit and play cards at the kitchen table. We would definitely stay here again!
We had a wonderful week at Honeycomb Cottage. Dianne was a wonderful host, the cottage was spotless and location central to explore the island. Thanks so much

You're very welcome Tracy! I'm happy to host you anytime :-)
Quiet and serene with all the amenities of home. Lots of room for us as a family of four. We worked online for part of the stay and had no issues with online meetings. Host Dianne was awesome to deal with. We had a great stay.

Thank you Dori for taking such good care of the cottage - it was left so clean and tidy! And thank you for the sweet bee mug :-)
The host was amazing. Very prompt with replying and gave good instructions. Great value. We enjoyed our stay in the winter. It was very quite and isolated. I can only imagine how beautiful it would be during the other three seasons.

The peace and quiet, water view and closeness to natural beauty like the woods and the ocean. Donaldston is very close to the part of PEI where I grew up, and is the community where my mother was raised.
What makes this property unique
The hexagon shape, and I love the spaciousness, light and high ceilings, as well as the location.
