About this property

Our spacious 3 bedroom cottage is situated on a 1-acre lot overlooking Boughton Bay. This cottage was newly built in 2019. Sandy's Beach on Boughton Bay can be accessed directly from the cottage lot. This beach is great for swimming, walking on low tide, clamming, and hunting for sand dollars.

The cottage features an open concept kitchen, dining and living area with cathedral ceilings. Our kitchen will offer all appliances including a dishwasher and features a large island for entertaining. As our family loves to cook and entertain, you can be sure we will have a fully equipped kitchen. Large windows and patio and garden door allow for beautiful water views.

We believe the added bonus to our cottage is the attached screened in sunroom which has ample seating for the whole family and leads out to our large open deck. While sitting on our deck, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Boughton Bay. You can enjoy sunrises, sunsets or star gazing at night. You can watch fishing boats sail in and out of Annandale Harbour. Bird watchers can enjoy a variety of birds including herons and Canada geese. Our outdoor features include deck furniture, fire pit, outdoor shower, propane barbeque, and outdoor games.

The cottage includes other amenities such as washer and dryer, iron and ironing board, internet, satellite TV, DVD player, DVD movies, board games, and books.

Sally's Beach Provincial Day Park which is great for collecting sea glass is a 5 min drive.
Golf enthusiasts can enjoy a round of golf at Rollo Bay Greens (18 min drive), Brudenell River & Dundarave (29 min drive), or Links at Crowbush Cove (45 min drive)

First time out east

This place is perfect for families that have small kids as they have room to run around. Inside was clean and had a good amount of room for 7 people (4 adults, 3 kids). The property is nestled in a quiet & picturesque part of the island (a hidden gem). Especially given some of the parks nearby (Greenwich & Basin Head).

A Little Piece of Heaven

From the moment we arrived, we knew the stay would be perfection! The house was immaculate, and extremely well laid out, the beach was beautiful, and by the end of the week we didn’t want to leave! Beth and Paul were extremely hospitable and available! Our kids played hours of baseball in the yard and searched the beach for numerous sea glass, shells and when the tide went out, sand dollars! Souris, the town 20 mins away was perfect for all of our needs. The cottage was a perfect location for day trips to Greenwich, Basin Head for beaches and to Georgetown for deep sea fishing with Captain Perry! We had an amazing time as the cottage had something for everyone! We will for sure be back! Thank you again Paul and Beth!!!

A Perfect Vacation

We had an amazing time at Escape at the Cape. From our first view of the beach house driving up the lane, to being greeted by a beautiful bouquet of flowers on the table - it was love at first sight. Paul even drove down to welcome us. The cottage was clean, bright and spacious lacking nothing for our family of 5. The rooms are very comfortable. The fire pit was also a perk. We spent many hours walking the beach, finding a variety of shells and seaglass. The Cape is close to everything. Cavendish is an hour drive. Souris is 20 minutes. We enjoyed a wonderful seafood platter at Clam Diggers. Captain Jeff's Deep Sea Fishing was also an awesome experience. We cooked many of our meals in the fully stocked kitchen. I enjoyed reading in the side porch during the evenings. The boys enjoyed the board games, my husband the TV. We were lulled to sleep by the ocean. Beth and Paul have created a beautiful spot. We feel truly blessed to have been able to find such a special place to experience PEI. pictures do not di this

The Perfect Spot

Fantastic 8 nights despite Hurricane Lee. The house and location were ideal and private. The open concept one floor layout was cozy and spacious. The owners were wonderful and easy to talk with...and took great care of us with the Hurricane threat. The location was beautiful on all days....from cloudy to rain to intense sun! The front deck was great to relax and watch the sun rise and set and on a clear night to see the immense sky and stars, and the screened porch was ideal when the mosquitoes were a little too much for us. The area because it was September was quiet and it was such a privilege to be able to feel like we had the area to ourselves.....It's a great location to get to Charlottetown (1 hour) Souris (1/2 hour) Montague (1/2 hour) or Georgetown (15-20 min) It's also very close to Michael Smith's Bay Fortune Inn/Fireworks Feast and Rollo Bay and there are many lighthouses along the eastern route. Tv/Internet/Satellite/DVR were all top notch, the kitchen was well stock with equipment and utensils, the beds were very comfortable, and the bathtub was deep and great for soaking. The amount of windows and the light in the open concept floorplan with the large island was an artist's paradise and Randy enjoyed painting from just about every window including the screened porch! Thank you Beth and Paul and Katie for being so kind and welcoming to us on this trip. You were great!!

Beau chalet, propre et tranquille. Nous n’avons pu profiter pleinement de la mer en raison de la température et, en même temps, nous avons adoré notre séjour. Il manquait de rien. Merci à Paul et Beth

Paradise

We can't say enough wonderful things about our stay at Escape at the Cape. The hosts were very friendly and very responsive if we needed anything. In fact, they checked in with us during our stay. The property was absolutely stunning inside and out. It was so bright and cozy and my little ones really felt at home there. It had everything we needed for the week. We enjoyed daily swims just meters away, sea glass hunting, bonfires each night, and relaxing out in the sun porch. We had such a wonderful family vacation. Thank you Paul and Beth for being such gracious hosts and opening up your property to us.

Had such a great time. The location was just perfect. A rural setting which was great for privacy with direct access to the water and still close enough to other towns for activities and groceries. The cottage has everything you need. Thank you Paul & Beth

Avoid this cottage – Dirty - Unresponsive and irresponsible hosts

Unhygienic and dirty conditions during a pandemic • Arrived to find feces in toilet as well as what looked like the contents of a dirty mopping bucket • Hair on the toilet seat • Hair all over the bathtub • Brown stains on several light switches • Hair all over bathroom counter top and floor • Bedding with hair • Hair on apron in kitchen drawer • Dirty barbeque; dripping tray full of grease of food residue • Crumbs in dishes including platter on counter • Numerous common surfaces that once cleaned by us showed, black, brown, or pinkish residue evidencing that they had not been cleaned or cleaned properly in a long time • Cobwebs on lampshades and in other places • Dead bugs Facilities not as advertised • No wifi for half our stay despite hosts knowing this was an issue from previous guests; despite our requests for wifi prior to confirming booking; and despite repeated emails and phone calls to the hosts for 4 days; the owners finally sent family members to come by and it took them as few minutes to fix the issue remotely by simply calling their service provider • Broken patio umbrella so it was not possible to eat on the deck on sunny days Unresponsive and irresponsible hosts • The hosts did not answer our calls the evening we arrived. We first tried to call because we had difficulty locating the property in the dark and there was no response. Once we arrived, found feces in the toilet, and saw that the bathroom was filthy, we were alarmed and did not want to stay in the house considering it was a pandemic and cleanliness is of utmost importance. The standards were below what we had ever seen even pre-pandemic. There was no answer from the hosts until the next morning. They had decided to ‘go away for the weekend’ and according to them, leave the cleaning staff unsupervised for the first time. • Our children were so disturbed that they did not want to sleep or stay in the house. As we had arrived at 10:30 p.m. and we were in a remote location without other options, we had to spend hours disinfecting the house, including cleaning the toilet and entire bathroom, kitchen, all surfaces, washing all bedding until 2 am in the morning. It was a very stressful and disturbing experience. • The property owners have refused to return the full cleaning fee or provide compensation for stay that was not as advertised. • Our family has a 5 star rating with other rental companies.

Staycation 2021

What an amazing location. Beth and Paul’s cottage was everything we hoped for and more. Waking up to the sound of the water, the sunrises and sunsets were so calming. The Escape to the Cape was the perfect place to unwind and relax and forget about work for a while. It was just what we needed. Beth and Paul thought of everything and along with their personal touches, which made our vacation so enjoyable. We will definitely be back and highly recommend their place as your next vacation spot!

Dream Cottage Vacation by the Water

Let me start off by saying what a gorgeous cottage it is! The view is spectacular. This is exactly what I wanted to book when first looking to rent a cottage in PEI. Paul and Beth thought of everything when they built this cottage. The only thing we needed to bring were our clothes and food. The beds were also very comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need to make some nice meals. Bring your bug spray. The mosquitoes are plenty! Thankfully we could enjoy being "outdoors" in the screened-in porch. We also took full advantage of the water which was a short walk down from the cottage. When the tide goes out you can walk out a few hundred meters. We will definitely be back. Paul and Beth were wonderful hosts that made sure we had everything we needed.

A repeat destination for sure!

Paul and Beth thought of everything! The cottage was thoroughly appointed with everything you could need! They were only a text away to answer any questions. Our group of six had ample space and slept in comfy beds! Many hours were spent in the ocean as the tide went out. Great house, great location, great people. We will definitely contact Paul and Beth theme t time we return to PEI!
