So nice to meet real honest people that care for you and there property. Would love to go back soon. And this is after i totaled my car in New Brunswick on the way home!
My dog and I spent the week doing day trips, but she really preferred staying here and playing and beaching and there was no real need to leave. The ocean, the view, the sunrise, the great blue herons, the osprey, the Eagles, the singing birds.....I will be back next year!
My daughter and I had a wonderful time at this lovely cottage in beautiful setting. Cathy made sure we had all we need, communicated, and went the extra mile to bring over a cooker and pot for a lobster boil. Awesome family memories đ
The cottage was so cute and cosy. Had everything we needed for our stay. Canât say enough about low tide and those wonderful sand bars. Our dog love running around out there. Fans were much appreciated in this crazy hot weather and we loved the screened in porch. Basin Sands beach is a must visit and Souris has all your shopping/restaurant needs. Thanks so much for a wonderful time.
The house is perfect for a summer vacation. The kitchen is well appointed, the dish clothes are crisp, and she even left us coffee for our first morning. The screened-in porch is wonderful as is the deck. Beds were comfortable, linens lovely, and the shower had good water pressure. And the location -- so quiet, with the beach right there. My 5 stars are all legitimate!
We loved this cute cozy cottage with its beautiful view! Having a fire under the incredible stars was such a great experience at night. Not to mention being able to have our dog with us. Cathy had great suggestions for things to do and was great to communicate with.
Excellent location, cabin is older, with an old cabin smell. Does not have AC, but maybe we missed that in the listing.
Owners are very nice and helpful.
Cabin has everything you need, except a Keurig :) , and was clean
Cozy, private ocean/beach front cottage with spectacular views is how it was described and is exactly what you get. We were three girls (4 for one night) and two dogs and while we enjoyed touring the area, we would have been just as happy to stay put the entire time and enjoy the outdoor deck, screened in porch and beach. Cathy was a lovely host and you will make a good decision to stay here.
Stunning view from the porch. Very quiet and secluded cabin with dark night skies and spectacular sunrises. In warmer weather we would have walked/waded to the beautiful secluded beach every day. As it was cool, we drove. Only 20 minutes to stores in Souris.
This is a beautiful spot to stay with a gorgeous view. Just a few minutes to Souris if you needed to grab anything in town (lobster rolls at The Lobster Shack in Souris were so good). It was nice to have the screened in porch as an alternative spot to hang out. We had everything we needed. It was a short walk to the beach and there were lots of birds to watch. I have to say, it was the quietest spot we have ever stayed, which was perfect. The neighbouring cottages are at well spaced distances. I would definitely stay here again.
Everything was simply just perfect! So many things to do around and people from the area so warm and welcoming! The kitchen was complete and view astonishing! Lots of bugs at night but it didn't really matter since so many birds were happily singing their joy of living in such a rich healthy environment!
As described. If a cottage is what youâre looking for then you will find it here. Cathy and Dave are wonderful owners. Very helpful. Hurricane Lee came through during our stay. Cathy made sure we had extra water and preparations in case we lost power. Luckily it didnât happen but weâre grateful for their assistance.
We hope to visit again soon.
It is EXACTLY as portrayed in the listing. Beautiful, quiet bay off the front porch. We had breakfast out there and watched the fog lift (and then come back. Lol. And then lift again) every day.
When the tide is out, you can walk along Fortune Bay and collect shells and sea glass. We saw blue herons every day and as we were leaving, some seals or maybe porpoise came to say bye.
The cottage is spotlessly clean and has everything you could need. Very comfortable beds and soft bedding and towels etc.
The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans, even measuring cups if you feel like baking something. But why would you when there are excellent bakeries on PEI.
We had a lot of rain, so we would sit in the screened in side porch and we could still enjoy the view of the bay.
A great place to explore the east end of the island. Little harbour Beach and Basin Beach have soft white sand with red cliffs. Looks exactly like the travel brochures.
A bit of a drive to Cavendish Beach and North Rustico, but it gives you a chance to enjoy the rolling hills and to see the interior farms of the island.
The town of Souris is small but has everything you need: grocery store, bank, interesting shops, pretty harbour and lighthouse. It is a wonderful spot away from the noise and crowds of the larger, more touristy areas. Cathy provided suggestions on local sites and restaurants etc.
We are already talking about when we are going back.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful spot with us.
This rental was everything we hoped for and more. Quiet, private with superb views. Beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. The cottage also has an attached screened in porch with a table and chairs as well as patio furniture for when the bugs are out.
The hosts are wonderful, responsive and went out of their way to help us with anything and everything we needed to make our stay unforgettable.
This property exceeded my wife and my expectations! We simply could not have been more relaxed if we had been at home. Red door was like home. I loved going out when the tide was out, great experience. Short ride to town. Neighbour very helpful and friendly.
We would return every year if we lived closer, just fantastic !!
Dave
Spent a week with my sister at this tranquil cottage. Quiet and very relaxing.
Very well maintained by Cathy and Dave. They have thought of everything.
I shall remember sitting and having my coffee looking out onto that amazing scenery.
The cottage was awesome, clean, well equipped with anything and everything you would need. I rented this place because of the quietness and large property for my 3 year old grandson to run around without a care. However, due to the mosquitoes being so bad even during the day this was not even an option for himâŠ.other than that the stay was very relaxing and enjoyable and your screened in sunporch was a well appreciated.
This is a beautiful location and an incredible cottage, thank you Cathy for everything
