Family based house

Great 2-storey house. Huge well-supplied kitchen. Nice living space. A/c works really well on main floor but never touches upstairs bedrooms. Lovely front deck, great for sitting and watching the sun set. Good location, close to lots of activities. Would stay here again.

Très bel endroit

Nous avons loué cette maison pour notre voyage à l'Ile-du prince Édouard et nous avons adoré! Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l'emplacement. Elle avait aussi toutes les commodités essentielles, qui nous a permis de passer un très beau séjour. La maison était propre et très chaleureuse. Merci beaucoup!

Excellent family location

After three years of waiting, we had the pleasure of enjoying two weeks at this property. The location was ideal for the activities we had planned, yet was very private with no neighbours (save the cows). The unit itself was very clean and well appointment. (The kitchen was of the best equipped we have seen in a rental) Communications with the host were excellent - throughout the lead up to the stay, and during.

Home Away From Home

A great experience at this roomy, yet cozy home. Very neat and clean as well. The 7 of us would greet one another each morning around the large kitchen island. Returning from the nearby beaches & tourist hotspots we'd prepare dinner together and recap our adventures around the family style dinner table before having a few nightcaps on the front porch amidst the moon & stars. Sounds ideal... and it was. Wifi was a bit weak but that was the case more or less on the whole island. Owner of house went above and beyond to help strengthen it which was really sweet and appreciative. Laundry machines worked well. Didn't really use the smart TV but it was there. In general, the whole place is well appointed and helped our family have a wonderful time enjoying all the island has to give. Special thanks/note to the powers that be for 7 days of GREAT weather!!! ~Los Angeles

From Sunrise to Sunset

The house is perfectly located for our lifestyle. We have the privacy and comfort we need with the beach and almost everything else only a short drive away. Wake up in the morning to observe the sunrise while seeping our coffee. In the evening the sunset is absolutely beautiful. In one word the house is located in the 'picturesque' part of PEI. Vickie (the host) was super awesome and very resourceful. And yes we are going back.

Fantastic location!

We were blessed to spend a week in beautiful PEI with two of our three daughters, a son in law and three granddaughters . Not knowing the lay of the land, we saw Vickie and JP’s house on VRBO and liked what we saw. It was beyond our expectation. The location was the best. We enjoyed a magnificent view from the front porch of beautiful green pastures and the ocean beyond. We were minutes to two beautiful beaches and five minutes to the town of Kensington. We were 25 mins from Summerside and the same to Cavendish, many little places in between to buy fresh seafood along the way. Charlottetown was about 35 mins away......a perfect location. We all loved our family time together there. We would definitely go back and I recommend this property to anyone who is looking to spend time in beautiful PEI, you will not be disappointed,. Vickie and JP were very attentive to our wants and needs while there. Great hosts!

We had a wonderful time at your cottage. It is well equipped for a family and centrally located!

We really enjoyed being surrounded by those lovely farms with such a great view of the land and water, and within easy access to everything! The house is very well equipped and very comfortable! We will definitely come back !

Excellent place to stay!

Stayed here with my family, and my brother and his family in July 2017. The house was large enough to accommodate us very comfortably and was exceptionally clean. Vickie and JP were very helpful, kind, and accommodating during all email conversations. This property is very tidy and private. Lots of room in the yard (we enjoyed playing games with the kids and flying kites in the yard). Well stocked kitchen, plenty of bedding, and toiletries. A short drive to Kensington and you will find all amenities. Also a short drive to Cavendish where you'll find many tourist attractions and kid friendly theme parks. The house itself was a minutes drive from Cousins Beach which is gorgeous! We were very impressed and super happy with this vacation home! Couldn't have found a better place! Highly recommend!

Perfect family vacation home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rooms were large. The kitchen was extremely well equipped. The porch and its view were fantastic. Vickie was very friendly and helpful. There was loads of things for families, from books to games to sporting goods. We would recommend this home to any vacationing family.

About the host

Hosted by Vickie and JP Sharp

Host profile image
I grew up exploring the beaches and hills of pei. When I left in 1983 I always knew I wanted to return.
My husband grew up in Montreal. We met in Nova Scotia married in 1989 and had 4 children. Every year we vacationed on PEI.
We moved to southeast Ontario in 2003. We desperately missed the east coast.
Every summer we would travel back to the east coast for 3 weeks. Best times were in a cottage close to the north shore of PEI.
Iguess we always knew we would move back and we started to look for our home away 2015.

Why they chose this property

I grew up exploring the beaches and hills of pei. When I left I always knew I wanted to return. When we were looking for a house on pei I knew this was the one the minute I walked in the door. Centrally located, friendly neighbours, a view of rolling hills, and the ocean.
I love to enjoy my coffee while I am entertained by the antics of the calves romping and playing in the field
My husband and I live in southeastern Ontario. When the heat and humidity hit we know where we can go where there will always be a lovely breeze. Long walks on the beaches, lobster dinners, or bringing the seafood back to enjoy out on the deck. There are lots of restaurants within 6 to 15 minutes. Kensington is 6 or 7 minutes for groceries and the walking trails

What makes this property unique

We are centrally located. 2 mnutes from one of my favourite beaches. There are so many other beaches to explore and hunt treasures that are within 5, 10, and 15 minutes from us. Lots of restaurants if you want to explore the different cuisines. The best place to be
