    Was at the office several times and no one was there, the walls in the cottage were a little dirty, we couldn't get firewood for our stay but other than that, it's a beautiful place

    The cottage was nice

    Poor ventilation. Supermarket is 20ks away. No advanced information about distance to shops and restaurants. No welcome kit (no supplies of tea, coffee or milk). Which was upsetting because we had to drive back 20ks to get supplies. Laundry is a mess.

    The shower was great. It was quiet. The beds were comfortable. When asked for air freshener and ant killer Sunny supplied them very promptly.

    A decent place to park yourself for a few days to hit the beaches.

    I would think that a cabin like this could be stocked a bit better. Some paper towels, napkins, perhaps some coffee packets. The frying pan was poor, rounded bottom and the non-stick surface was not non-stick. I meant to leave a note that the frying pan handle needs screwed in. It's loose. And the front door lock set needs tightened up or replaced.

    You can cook your meals there. The grill was decent. Cabin was clean and was just a short drive to several beaches in the National Park. (You need to pay a fee, but it's worth it if you are going to be there for a few days.) Two excellent (but pricey) restaurants were close: Delvay by the Beach and The Dunes Studio Gallery & Cafe--gorgeous places.

    The bed was no accessible, we stripped it down and used the pullout couch.

    Location was great, but basically a cabin in PEI, not much more.

    Some things in the kitchen are too old and oven needed to clean and the shower curtain needs to be changed. However we didn’t feel a major problem at all.

    Cottage had most of things we needed. Internet and TV was great to kill the time and pool was clean and nice. My twins had a great time there.

    This was a great end-of-season find. A three bedroom cottage for the daily price of a hotel room. The facilities were clean and everything was there, including a dishwasher and laundry facilities next to the office. The main thing was that the cottage was close to all of the National Park beaches and only twenty minutes drive from Charlottetown.

    Dated bathroom had mould

    friendly staff very responsive to questions. needs to be updated as steps and bathrooms weathered. Had some mould in the grout but didn’t tell the owners until check out and they were going to clean and treat at our check out. Would be nice to know that kayaks and bikes are available for charge I had thought was included but we didn’t end up using anyway. Location is great nice and quiet. Good for families. Thanks Sunny!
