Beautiful spot surrounded by nature

The secluded property offers privacy and quiet so the sights and sounds of nature can be enjoyed all day. The house is comfortable, well equipped, and well cared for. My stay was a perfect getaway to relax, swim, and enjoy nature (including at least ten species of birds). The heated pool was lovely!

Amazing and cozy!

This fun and funky house feels like the kind of house you should stay in if you travel to Prince Edward Island. Comfy beds, a pool, a sauna, cool antiques and beautiful art. What more could you ask for?! Highly recommend. We asked to build a fire one night and they brought over all that we would need. So kind. Have fun!

A Solid Five Stars

We had a wonderful week at the Silver Heron House. We loved the unique style of the house, the size of the property and the privacy it offered. We brought our two dogs and I think they enjoyed the vacation as much as we did. The location is very rural yet close to everything we needed. We plan to go back in the future.

PEI

Loved the location and the house and the yard and little beach area on the river/cove. I do think somewhere in the listing it says AC but I don't think there is AC? It was not an issue for us but it is a little confusing. Teenagers/young adults in family loved the property as well. Peaceful and relaxing spot!

Silver Heron House

We stayed at Silver Heron House for a week in August 2024. We completely enjoyed our vacation. Silver Heron House is definitely a gem of a property. We felt totally private and yet close to anything we might need. The house and private pool were outstanding. The amenities and presentation were like an upscale hotel. The host and proiperty manager (Carolyn and Cory) took excellent care of us, and although they weren't needed during our week, we felt very secure knowing they were readily available for anything we may have needed. One small detail we personally appreciated was the extensive collection of original local art adorning the walls throughout the house. We would definitely return. Thanks Carolyn and Cynthia!

Paradise in PEI

This property had all it promised and more. The grounds are beautiful. The walk down to the beach with the view across the water to Charlottetown was wonderful. The cottage is comfortable and homey. The beds were very comfortable. We were supplied with plenty of towels for the refreshing pool. The gorgeous pergola provided shade and a true relaxing atmosphere We all loved it!

AMAZING PROPERTY - with fantastic service!

We've rented properties on PEI five times, but the Silver Heron House was far and away the best. The pool is perfect, but the cottage itself is very clean, and well-maintained and stocked. What isn't really evident in the pictures is how amazing the property is overall, with a beautiful outdoor area that has beach access as well- looking onto Charlottetown. The location is absolutely perfect, minutes from both Charlottetown and a Tim Hortons! The owners and their family that manage the property were so good. We had a strange mishap on day 1- where a squirrel blew the power transformer on the property (RIP Squirrel), but the owners were on the problem immediately and had it fixed by noon on a Sunday! Can't say enough good things about this property- it truly made our stay on the Island unforgettable. Will definitely be renting again.

Paradise in PEI

I booked this vacation spot in March, when we were in the midst of the pandemic shut down, and we were desperate to find something positive to look forward to. The moment the booking was confirmed, I began counting down the days and praying that our trip in August would happen. As we got our first glimpse of the cottage at the end of the famous PEI dirt road, I smiled with relief that the listing had perfectly captured the beauty of this cottage. Nestled on a beautiful slice of Cornwall shoreline, the property feels incredibly remote and private, yet is only 10 minutes away from city conveniences. The cottage is the perfect combination of rustic charm and comfort. It is clear it was designed with the goal of making guests feel welcome, and more importantly, helping them relax. Our days were filled with swimming in the pool, taking walks down to the beach to find shells, or exploring the City. It was truly a magical experience and we hope to visit this slice of PEI heaven again soon.

Mosquitoes, mice, but good service

We arrived to the house being 40 degrees. That’s not the fault of Chris or Cynthia because of the unseasonably warm week but there is no AC so it was a hot week. If you have kids be warned. The mosquitoes are so bad the yard and the beach are not usable. We had to alert Chris and Cynthia twice because of mice and/or rats. They were fast in sending pest control but left poison bait traps all around the house. Chris & Cynthia were very good to respond right away but leaving poison around the house was very worrisome with us having a 2 year old and 5 month old in the house.

Fantastic cottage near Cornwall

Stayed for one week with my wife, two friends, and a small dog. Perfect for a group this size as the larger bedroom is upstairs which allows for some separation/privacy. Beautiful patio with a shaded pergola that overlooks the pool, which was also a treat on a hot day. The cottage provided some pool noodles, lots of towels, and there's a "pool roomba" that helps clean it up day to day that's easy to use. Kitchen was pretty well stocked - we rarely needed something they didn't have but as with all rentals if you have a specific thing/need you should ask. As some previous reviews mentioned negatives I thought I'd address some - 1) Bugs/mosquitoes: Yes, at various times of day the lawn has mosquitoes but it's a cottage, I'm not sure what people expect? Once we applied bug spray we had zero issues. 2) TV/Netflix: There is cable TV but you can't log in to netflix/prime. Again, you're renting a cottage so go for a walk, play a board game, or read, BUT if you have kids and "need" this I'd suggest bringing your own iPad (wifi was great). 3) Heat: Someone previously complained it was hot and we arrived on a seriously hot/humid day but were totally fine with the windows all open and fans on. Plus there is a pool! It typically cooled off in evenings, even on hot days. To be clear - none of these were our issues, just things I read in previous reviews that I thought others could benefit from another perspective. We loved the place and will almost certainly rebook! Thank you!
