Our family of six spent a week at the Breakers Beach House last summer and would dearly love to return. We arrived late at night, and could barely believe our eyes when morning revealed the idyllic location of this well-appointed home! An expansive deck leads to a private lawn above sandstone bluffs overlooking the very private Cove Beach. Seals bobbed in the water, much to the delight of our youngest, who set up a folding chair in the little patch of piney woods fringing the lawn to keep watch. In the evenings, a family of foxes tumbled in the grass. The house boasts beautiful views of the sea, as well as headlands and farm fields in the distance. A sandy beach with kid-friendly water is accessible via a short walk down a private lane and a steep set of steps (not a problem for our family, but something to consider for folks with mobility issues). We often had the beach entirely to ourselves, and our children loved climbing on the sandstone formations. The house itself is beautiful, bright, and more like a family home than a typical beach rental in its thoughtful decoration and amenities. A glitch with the wi-fi was quickly remedied, thanks to the attentive local property manager. The owner is very friendly and quick to return calls. Souris Beach, a short drive away, is a great spot for hunting sea glass and spotting bald eagles. The town is small, but has grocery and liquor stores, and several good places to eat. Several in our party enjoyed an afternoon of biking along the Confederation Trail from the Elmira Railway Museum, about 20 minutes from the house. We made several trips to Charlottetown (about an hour’s drive each way) where the shopping and dining options are more numerous and varied, but we were always happy to return to our quiet retreat away from the crowds. We would highly recommend the Breakers Beach House for anyone seeking a relaxed getaway in this beautiful and largely rural area of PEI!
