About this property

Honeycomb Cottage - bright, airy and spacious sanctuary with water view!

Nestled in the cozy cottage community of MacIntyre Shore in Donaldston, PEI (Mount Stewart postal district), Honeycomb Cottage is close to many beaches, and a short drive to Charlottetown, Cavendish, golf courses, the National Park, and many outdoor activities. Honeycomb Cottage is winterized too, so it's a great weekend getaway perfect for snowshoeing or winter hikes. There are large front and back yards, a wrap-around deck with BBQ (in summertime), a well-stocked kitchen for cooking, and there is a playground just one lot over from the cottage. Honeycomb Cottage is a perfect vacation home for families, couples or friends. Tourist Establishment License # 2202909.

The main living area is in the centre and has a large, high hexagon-shaped ceiling (hence "Honeycomb Cottage"). The main bedroom and ensuite are off one side of the main living space, and the "guest wing" with two bedrooms, laundry and bathroom is off the other side. All bedrooms have closets and dressers not seen in the photos.

There are some stores nearby with some food and convenience items, but to fully stock up on groceries you will most likely need to go the a big grocery store in Charlottetown (Superstore or Sobeys). Local stores (seasonal) include Jewell's Country Market in Marshfield, The Shore Market at Covehead Harbour in the National Park (really awesome!), and Lily's Convenience and Irving and Ultramar Gas Stations in Dunstaffnage, Scotchfort and Mount Stewart are open year-round.

There is an "info sheet" with more pertinent information, brochures and suggestions of things to do. There is a TV, no cable, but there is Chrome Cast so you can stream from your phone or tablet.

Cancellation Policy: Travellers who cancel at least 30 days before check-in will get back 100% of the amount they've paid. If they cancel between 14 and 30 days before check-in, they'll get back 50%. Otherwise, they won't get a refund.

Our house rules: primary renter must be 25 or older, no smoking, no parties or events, and maximum of six people staying/sleeping in the cottage. Pets are permitted for a fee.

Perfect Retreat

The cottage is absolutely as described. The indoor and outdoor living space is great for a group and just a short walk to the water. The property and cottage are clean and inviting. Bedrooms on either side of a large open living room/dining room/kitchen give just enough separation. The weather was just starting to get cooler and the furnace kept us toasty warm. Thank you for a wonderful space to relax and get comfy.

Beautiful pei home!

Really gorgeous home. Drive along vibrant red dirt roads to get to this beautiful place. Unique design and truly gorgeous decor. You can tell this place is well loved. Check in was easy (and early!) which we appreciated. It is so quiet and the screened in porch was perfect for coffee and reading. Bathrooms were stunning and the master just gorgeous. Loved the open concept honey bee theme.

Great well equipped cottage

Enjoyed our stay. My elderly mom would have preferred to have some “ regular “ TV , so my only suggestion would be to add satellite TV. Did see a few eurwiges in the kitchen but I know this is common for cottages without a basement. Loved the separation of the sleeping areas. Overall would highly recommend it to my friends

The host was amazing. Very prompt with replying and gave good instructions. Great value. We enjoyed our stay in the winter. It was very quite and isolated. I can only imagine how beautiful it would be during the other three seasons.

Perfect Getaway

A spacious bright comfortable cottage. It was a perfect layout for 2 couples with it's 2 separate wings and would also work well for a family. Well equipped. Close to all the popular tourist spots. Unfortunately we had to leave this beautiful property a day early due to Fiona but hope to return soon. Thank you Dianne for everything!!

I am from PEI, work as a self-employed Counselling Therapist, yoga teacher, and cottage owner :-)

Why they chose this property

The peace and quiet, water view and closeness to natural beauty like the woods and the ocean. Donaldston is very close to the part of PEI where I grew up, and is the community where my mother was raised.

What makes this property unique

The hexagon shape, and I love the spaciousness, light and high ceilings, as well as the location.
