Words cannot begin to describe the incredible vacation we just had. I have booked several houses on PEI over the past 20 years and this is by far the best! Not only is this a true slice of heaven with its total seclusion, private beach, huge yard, indoor party room and pool, and light house.... Debbie and Scott, our hosts, made us feel closer than family....they made us feel like life long friends!
The drive up the driveway was like entering into our own private heaven. The light house is so warm and inviting, the kitchen begged me to cook, the pool begged me to swim!
each morning the sun came up over the ocean and I took my cup of coffee down to the beach and sat on the rocks and just absorbed the view, the sounds, the smell....I was home! I hunted for sea glass every day and found 3 pieces of the ever elusive blue glass! I swam in the crystal clear refreshing water and rejuvenated my soul.
We stargazed at night and competed to see who could see the most meteors.... it was amazing to say the least!
We ate dinner once or twice in Alberton... I had to have my fill of Poutine! we went food shopping in Tignish, bought fresh lobsters and muscles at the local fish market. We walked along the numerous empty beaches and swam in the surprisingly warm waters. I caught a baby shrimp with my bare hands.. We visited North Cape and walked the cliffs...saw a seal.
Debbie and Scott were amazing hosts! They welcomed us with a bottle of wine and a hand crafted note...gave us a much needed tour of their large home and taught us how to use all of the lights and stereos...the amazing theater system in the pool house... Anything we needed at all, they obliged.
We broke bread together one night and we had so much fun listening to their stories and their jokes! We were lucky enough to share in Debbie's homemade pies... AMAZING! Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer... never in all my years of traveling have I felt more welcome....more at home!
We can't thank you enough Debbie and Scott and we will be back the first chance we get! If you are ever in the Boston area....please come stay with us!
We miss you already! Marilyn and Chris!
