Small but sufficient. Perfect spot for our family getaway . Traveled with our daughters 7&9 and our bulldog. Loved the easy access to the water and our daily low tide strolls right infront of the cottage. Small town of Souris is just a short drive away with all the amenities you need.
Loved everything about our stay. Location is incredible! This part of PEI is rural and quaintand quiet. Next time we will stay longer. Cottage is immaculate and well stocked. Yard is LARGE and ends at the water. The town of Souris is lovely. The Tipsy Farmer is great for lunch or dinner, casual and friendly with great food. Great hosts!
Lovely propery with a lot of privacy, very dog friendly. Love the layout of the cottage, perfect zones set up for evryone to hang out or to easily find ones own spot for peace and quiet on their own. Highly recommended!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Idle by the BayâCathy and Dave are wonderful hosts and the cottage had everything we needed to enjoy a quiet week recharging. Close enough to amenities, but truly a peaceful setting. Cathyâs list of local attractions was perfect and guided our day to day activities. Our dog Dolly enjoyed the beach walks several times a day, and the large lawn to play frisbee! Having a washer was truly a perk!Would definitely consider returning!
We loved our time here - we really felt like we were away from everything! The kids loved exploring the beach, which was full of shells. I loved looking out at the water. The house was plenty big for our family of 4 as the second bedroom contained 2 beds. I really appreciated the list of area attractions Cathy sent us before we arrived. It really helped us plan out what we would do during our time on the island!
Property is surrounded by trees on three sides, with a view of the beach and Rolo Bay and Eglington Cove. Nice, clean cottage with all amenities you may need on your vacation.
We had a wonderful time there and hopefully will be back.
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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 !!
