Great place!

Our family enjoyed this cottage for our week on PEI. We enjoyed the deck for outdoor eating and sunset evenings. The cottage was cozy and homey as listed. The PEI artwork was a great touch. The neighborhood is a private street with few neighbors for a quiet and peaceful getaway.

The cottage was great, clean and well equipped - was quite private and great to come back to after exploring the busier towns and beaches - great for walks, biking kayaking - would definitely recommend as a convenient yet private location to explore much of the island

a lovely stay

We had a lovely stay here. The location was perfect, there was so much to do within just a 30 minute drive to get a real feel for PEI and enjoy some truly amazing food. We stayed with our 3 children (4, 6, 8yo). The cottage was cozy and quaint. The 2 upstairs bedrooms suited our 3 children perfectly while we used the main floor bedroom. The kitchen was well stocked for its small size. The living room space was awesome, and hosted many cozy family movie and game nights. We loved watching the sunsets, and made use of the kayaks and yard games that were available. A lovely place overall for exploring PEI!

Beautiful setting

Superb location: beautiful shoreside views from patio & master bedroom deck topped off by a family of bald eagles nesting in the backyard trees (amazing!). Wonderful, not-at-all crowded beach (all sand & not a single sharp rock or shell in or outside the water!) that is a v easy walk from the house. Multiple excellent restaurants/fish markets/bakery/coffee shop within a 15 minute drive of the house in multiple directions; & national park with beautiful (though more crowded) beaches a 30 minute drive away. The house was very clean & comfortable for our family of four & enjoys a shoreside breeze that keeps it cool even on hot days & the owner provides nice amenities (3 bikes, 2 kayaks, board games, TV with “guest” Netflix account, etc) for indoor & outdoor recreation. The main town was more of a distance (35-min drive to the charming downtown neighborhood) & features many excellent restaurants, but we were seeking seclusion, scenery & relaxation and so were happy to not go into town more than 3-4 times in our 9-day stay anyway. Checkout procedure is extraordinarily detailed & somewhat onerous compared to other places we’ve stayed (wash all sheets & towels, make all beds, ensure all light bulbs are working, etc) as owners usually have a cleaning service in between renters and also because a broken dryer made it impossible to get everything done by the 10am checkout time, but that was a minor annoyance in an otherwise PERFECT stay.

Thank you so much for the detailed review. I am happy to see you enjoyed many locations and amenities at the cottage and area. It is somehow strange that you were under the impression any of the checkout or cleaning items were meant for guests, since NONE of those things are meant for guests to do in order to check out. Our cleaning team does all the linens, deep cleaning, functional review of all items in the cottage, etc. Goodness! Our sincere apologies about this misconception. We will look forward to making it up to you somehow in the near future and would love to communicate with you again about how we could do that. Kindest regards to you and your family.

About the host

Hosted by Geraldine MacDonald

Host profile image

Your hosts, Geraldine and Onofre, have been 'Islander wanna-bees' since first stepping on the red sands roads of PEI. Setting down roots on the island is a dream come true. Plans for the future include retirement to full-time 'Islander status'; meanwhile, a cottage is the perfect mix of holiday getaway and permanent connection to the island we love.

Why they chose this property

Riverview Drive ticked all the boxes for us as a family: location, location, location. We love the peace, water views, beaches, and rural towns and landscapes, but we also love the proximity to the lovely city of Charlottetown. Dinner, theatre, musical events and 'too many other amenities nearby to list', give this cottage proximity to everything we love about PEI.

What makes this property unique

Character and charm. Privacy yet perfect proximity to North Rustico, Cavendish, Anne's Land, Brackley Beach, Charlottetown, etc. The location and the 'cottage feel'. Did we mention the water views? The glorious sunsets? The serenity? Did we mention there appears to be a family of bald eagles nesting on the property?
