Enjoy the relaxing beach life at our ocean-front cottage on PEI's Northumberland Strait, which has the warmest ocean waters north of the Carolinas!

Our wonderful summer home is situated on 7 private acres directly on the water's edge with a beautiful red sand beach and warm, shallow waters, with spectacular long-range views of Egmont Bay, Cape Egmont lighthouse, Mont Carmel cathedral, the Confederation Bridge, and the distant shore of New Brunswick.

The cottage is newly renovated and is turn-key with all needed equipment provided - you only need to bring food, beverages, personal items, and consumables for a great time!

The beach is composed of very fine, soft, red sand, with virtually no rocks or pebbles after the shoreline. June-August the water temperature often is in the high 70's (~24-25 C) meaning you can spend all day wading and swimming in the water without getting blue lips or chattering teeth. The shallow waters extend out hundreds of feet, at which point they are still only waist-deep, making the beach perfect (and safe) for young children.

There is an extensive lawn around the cottage for kids to run around and play games.
There are stairs leading down to the beach from the lawn for easy access by young and old alike.

Hey guys, out of our 3 stays, this was the best. The weather was good, you guys checking in on us the first day meant so much. Being here reminds me of my childhood summers spent at my grandparents cottage. Looking forward to seeing you again next summer.

Thanks a bunch for such a great break!!

Shawn, Margie, Kay, Tank and Teddy!!

We truly enjoyed the incredible view and cottage location. We had plenty of space for 4 travelers and a dog. E-mails were answered promptly. There was one concern and the ongoing discussions with the owners made that concern more significant (hence the average rating). The owner requires that guests dispose of all garbage at the end of their stay. PEI has strict garbage disposal rules to encourage composting and recycling (we agree with these rules). We were only advised about the garbage disposal rules after the final payment date passed (as well as the cancellation date). These rules would not have been a problem had we been just two of us with plenty of time to deal with garbage (and to drive 15 km to the waste site) during our stay. We were four adults and a dog with a very early departure time we could not change. We shared our concerns with James and Carolyn. The answer was not satisfactory. We encourage James and Carolyn to modify their rental information to explain their garbage disposal rules. It should be up to guests to decide if this significant garbage disposal task is something they can easily handle during their stay.

Owner response:
Thank you, Johanne, for your positive comments about our cottage and for sharing your opinions and suggestions. We're glad you had a good time.

This was the first year we implemented the new trash policy after many years of problems dealing with removal of guests' trash. Frankly, we did not see this as a major issue (it is now common in the home rental business, and commonplace on PEI due to the complexities of their recycling program and the limited garbage pickup in rural areas).

As you discovered, the waste transfer station is directly on the Trans-Canada highway on your way to the bridge off the Island. It takes 5 minutes to drop trash off and costs $5.

It seems that your major pain point is that the policy was not communicated in advance during the booking process... so starting next year we will send our cottage information bulletin to guests immediately upon making a reservation.

We are sorry that you feel that our very detailed email to you explaining the need for the trash policy was not adequate. For the benefit of anyone reading this, I am repeating part of our reply to you here:

"The municipality picks up trash weekly - alternating between compostable material and recyclables every other week. This means compostable (stinky) food trash is picked up every two weeks.
The municipality takes a VERY hard line on sorting of trash and recyclables... the proper clear bags must be used, and sorting must be 100% correct.

The garbage truck workers inspect the trash bags as they are taking them out of the bin.

If the rules are not followed, on the first offence they will not take the trash and they tag the container with an infraction notice. On the second and subsequent offences, they again refuse to take the trash and impose a $75 fine per offence, which we must pay as the property owners.

The onus for the complexity of the sorting compostable materials, recycleables, and waste falls on the guests, who may or may not be used to the rigours of such rules and regulations.
There are three consequences:

1. Someone now needs to sort guests' trash after they have departed.
2. It is now another two weeks before the compostable trash will be picked up by the municipality.
3. We incur a $75 fine.

We do not think it reasonable for anyone to have to sort someone else's trash. We leave it to your imagination to ponder the visual and smell of four-week old garbage (think lobster guts) rotting in the hot plastic garbage container in the July sun. Besides being disgusting, it is a health hazard and we cannot afford to expose guests (and pets, since we are pet-friendly) to this sort of thing.

We have investigated getting a roll-off dumpster for garbage disposal... but the same rules apply to garbage dumped in to roll-off bins...it MUST be sorted and in the proper bags or the whole bin is rejected."

The best solution we have is to have guests deal with their own garbage when they depart.

Beautifully appointed cottage with all the amenities in a fantastic location! We had a wonderful week. Steps away from a gorgeous natural beach with red sand bluffs. Owners are responsive and quick to answer any questions we had about the cottage. We would definitely recommend this cottage to friends or anyone visiting PEI!

Trish, thank you for your kind words! We appreciate the time you took to write a review. We are so happy that you had a great vacation week at our cottage. We hope that you will choose to stay with us again in the future.

Kind regards,

James

It was an amazing week. The cottage was far more than we expected and the beach is literally just steps away, with soft sand bars you could walk out forever on during low tide. Will definitely be coming back the next time we are on the island! Highly recommend for anyone visiting the island.
