Small but sufficient. Perfect spot for our family getaway . Traveled with our daughters 7&9 and our bulldog. Loved the easy access to the water and our daily low tide strolls right infront of the cottage. Small town of Souris is just a short drive away with all the amenities you need.

Loved everything about our stay. Location is incredible! This part of PEI is rural and quaintand quiet. Next time we will stay longer. Cottage is immaculate and well stocked. Yard is LARGE and ends at the water. The town of Souris is lovely. The Tipsy Farmer is great for lunch or dinner, casual and friendly with great food. Great hosts!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Idle by the Bay—Cathy and Dave are wonderful hosts and the cottage had everything we needed to enjoy a quiet week recharging. Close enough to amenities, but truly a peaceful setting. Cathy’s list of local attractions was perfect and guided our day to day activities. Our dog Dolly enjoyed the beach walks several times a day, and the large lawn to play frisbee! Having a washer was truly a perk!Would definitely consider returning!

Great place to get away from it all

We loved our time here - we really felt like we were away from everything! The kids loved exploring the beach, which was full of shells. I loved looking out at the water. The house was plenty big for our family of 4 as the second bedroom contained 2 beds. I really appreciated the list of area attractions Cathy sent us before we arrived. It really helped us plan out what we would do during our time on the island!

Idle by the bay is perfect for idling

My dog and I spent the week doing day trips, but she really preferred staying here and playing and beaching and there was no real need to leave. The ocean, the view, the sunrise, the great blue herons, the osprey, the Eagles, the singing birds.....I will be back next year!

Excellent location

Excellent location, cabin is older, with an old cabin smell. Does not have AC, but maybe we missed that in the listing. Owners are very nice and helpful. Cabin has everything you need, except a Keurig :) , and was clean

A keurig is an excellent idea. We do new upgrades every year (new roof, septic, sunporch, deck) and had planned a bathroom and countertop renovation this past year but the mess left from Hurricaine Fiona cost so much, that's where the budget went. It's slated for next season. Thanks for your feedback. Cathy

Special Place

The house is perfect for a summer vacation. The kitchen is well appointed, the dish clothes are crisp, and she even left us coffee for our first morning. The screened-in porch is wonderful as is the deck. Beds were comfortable, linens lovely, and the shower had good water pressure. And the location -- so quiet, with the beach right there. My 5 stars are all legitimate!

This rental was everything we hoped for and more. Quiet, private with superb views. Beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. The cottage also has an attached screened in porch with a table and chairs as well as patio furniture for when the bugs are out.

East coast slice of heaven

The cottage was so cute and cosy. Had everything we needed for our stay. Can’t say enough about low tide and those wonderful sand bars. Our dog love running around out there. Fans were much appreciated in this crazy hot weather and we loved the screened in porch. Basin Sands beach is a must visit and Souris has all your shopping/restaurant needs. Thanks so much for a wonderful time.
