Enjoyed our time on PEI very much. The house met our needs and was in a good location with a lovely view of the harbour. It was a nice time of year to be there with all the colours of fall and less tourists.

This is our third year staying here, and we absolutely love it. The peacefulness of sitting on the porch watching the fishing boats in the harbour and all the sea birds sustains me through the long, cold winter. Perfect location.

We had a wonderful time as the house is next to Cavendish Park and lots of activities. Enjoyed walking on the boardwalk to town for fresh baked goods, fresh fish, and ice cream. Very relaxing place to enjoy coffee in the morning on the front porch.

This was the perfect location for our stay. Close to bike rental, kayaking, walking path, great restaurants and centrally located to within 30 minutes to all we wanted to visit. A home away from home with super hosts who came by to make sure everything was perfect

Wonderful Week

We loved Harbour House as it felt just like home. Spotlessly clean, comfortable, windows all around to soak in the top notch harbor views, well stocked with kitchen and dining needs, and located a 5-10 minute walk along the harbor to restaurants, fish market, grocery store, bakery and other assorted businesses in the village. We easily explored PEI as all was within a 1.5 hour drive from Harbour House. It's not modern flashy, but fits perfectly like your favorite pair of shoes. We were sorry to leave and would love to return!

Lovely spot

I stayed at Rustic Harbour House in early May. The home was impeccably clean, the bed was comfortable (always important), and was steps from PEI National Park and the beach. I enjoyed daily walks along the shore and the park's multi-use path.The house is 30 minutes from Charlottetown Airport and about ten minutes from Green Gables. There is a grocery store, liquor store, multiple restaurants, an ice cream shop, and in-season tourist shopping - all within walking distance. The house is also on the trail of The Island Walk.I hope to return and would strongly recommend this home.

Lovely home by the bay!

We are home now after a week’s stay at this cozy and tidy home. The views were marvelous as was walking the boardwalk across the street for exercise and meeting friendly folks along the way. Everything was at our fingertips when preparing meals. Wonderful memories were made and we will highly recommend it to all.Thank you, Cathy!!
