We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this spacious, comfortable home. We were a group of 7 family and friends ages 19 – 67. The private bedrooms for everyone and the several gathering places were perfect. We never felt like we were cramped or in each other’s way. The outdoor deck areas, shaded and unshaded, gave each of us something we liked. We enjoyed using the firepit, the pizza oven, the deck swings, the enclosed porch, and most especially that fabulous outdoor live-edge bar on the deck. Morning coffee at that bar, looking over the bay, was very relaxing. The kitchen island, complete with a live-edge eat-at counter was perfect for preparing pizzas, opening oysters, and spreading out our meals. The kitchen is fully equipped and was easy to work in. We loved being right across the street from the bay and enjoyed exploring the water and playing with the hermit crabs that were in abundance. Sandy was very easy to reach and we greatly appreciated the refund she gave us for missing our first night there because our ferry crossing from Caribou was cancelled and the bridge was closed due to Hurricane Lee. We would highly recommend this home and it’s wonderful private location.

Island House
We were a group of 4 adults and 5 children. The younger children started referring to the property as “Our Island House.” The house was the perfect size for our 2 families, there was plenty of space for us to have time together as a group and also enjoy time to as 2 separate families. There were indoor and outdoor games for the kids and we all loved the out door swinging chairs. If we come back to PEI, we’d definitely consider this place again.
Family time
Beautiful house. Well equipped inside and out. Hosts were very responsive to questions. Sort of out of the way, but nice neighborhood. Quite area. Nice water view.
Big house, lots of amenities
The cottage was the perfect size for our group and was exactly as listed. Everyone had a comfortable bed and bathroom. Sandy was easy to contact and helpful with any problems. The location is close to conveniences like Walmart/Grocery/etc. The screened in porch is a lovely reprieve from nighttime bugs. We were able to rent kayaks and the waterfront was perfect for that, very calm. Thanks for a great vacation!
Great for family gatherings
We stayed here with our family and extended family. There was lots of room to enjoy each other’s company. Sandy and Gord were easily accessible when we had questions and it is clear they care about their home and about ensuring their guests enjoy their stay. Would definitely recommend and stay again!
Amazing family vacation
We just finished an incredible week at this lovely home ( it is too nice to be called a cottage). I had rented it and invited my siblings and their partners to spend time together in a relaxed environment. Boy did I pick the right place!! We were a group of 12 and there was ample room for everyone and lots to do! The kids enjoyed swimming and kayaking, and the veranda spaces were a huge hit with the adults. The pantry and fridge had tons of essentials and the kitchen was a dream for making meals for 12! I have already booked to return next summer. Thank you Sandy and Gord for letting us share your little piece of PEI heaven!! I
This place has it all
Because weather is unpredictable, this place is perfect if what you want is to share time with friends or family you don’t get to see too often. Plenty of room (and then some) for three adult couples – each had their own bathroom as well; well-equipped kitchen; lots of indoor/outdoor seating (covered and uncovered); BBQ; hot tub (sheltered); indoor sauna… this home really does have everything. It is also very tastefully decorated and homey. And although it might not be available for every stay, the weather and full moon rising over the water view was a stunning background to our last night around the fire pit.
The best rental I have ever stayed at!
These hosts have thought about everything! The house has all you could ever need to make your vacation enjoyable. The kitchen is fully stocked; just bring your food. The view is incredible, especially from the second-floor deck! There are plenty of indoor and outdoor games to keep all your guests busy. The hot tub and fire pit are located perfectly to allow the space to spread out and provide water views. The house seems to be bigger than it really is because the spaces have been so well thought out and laid out. Thanks for an amazing stay!
My stay was exceptional
My stay at Cottage home PEI while doing the Island Walk the first of June was exceptional. From the wonderful hosts to the beautiful home and view. The “FootPrints” package for walkers met all expectations. From the home cooked meals and healthy packed lunch to go, to the hot tub. Sandy and Gord leave nothing out. If you’re planning to do the Island Walk, whether you’re going west or going east do yourself a favor….stay at the Cottage Home PEI….you deserve it !!
They go above and beyond!
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Sandy and Gordy’s amazing B&B, and we can’t possibly recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel incredibly welcome. Sandy and Gordy could not be more friendly, helpful, or kind—they go above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect. The location is stunning, nestled right beside a beautiful bay with fantastic views that are simply breathtaking. What sets this B&B apart is how much Sandy and Gordy understand the needs of hikers. They specialize in accommodating walkers, and it shows. There are laundry facilities available, which were such a relief after a long day on the trails. And the best part? The hot tub! It’s the perfect way to relax and soothe sore muscles after a day of exploring. The entire experience felt like a home away from home, with all the comforts and warmth we could ask for. If you’re looking for a place that combines beautiful scenery, thoughtful amenities, and hosts who truly care, this is it!
