Wonderful retreat, but close to everything. Loved it!

Lovely property with charming, comfortable, well-stocked cottage. So, *so* much preferable to the cookie-cutter cottage compounds we saw in some other PEI places! Quiet (we could barely see and never heard from neighbouring properties), but still just a very quick drive from swim beaches, the city, FiN restaurant(!), etc. And you don't even need to leave the property for paddleboarding and kayaking, sunset bonfires, morning coffee prowls to view nature...It's great! Owners have thought of everything, and were responsive to our general communications, so we assume they would also be if anything were troublesome--which it wasn't! This is an ideal property for small families (though note it's beside water. Kids need supervision--but they'll love it here!) It would also be superb for an individual retreat--say, a writer. Couples, too, if you want lots of togetherness, with easy access to the wider world for dinners out, etc. Finally, the price was truly excellent for everything the property offers! Thanks!!

Relaxation Plus

The property was perfectly situated for what we needed..peace & quiet. The outlook on the river was beautiful. It was well placed for getting to some of the local attractions. The only thing we would have liked is better sign posting, particularly on locating the house on your first arrival.

Sweet little cottage

We enjoyed our stay here a lot. It's a sweet cottage with a good location. Quiet and simple. Main complaint was that the shower is tiny. Overall lovely and affordable.

Sweet little cottage with lots to do!

We really enjoyed our stay. It was very clean and a beautiful location on the river. We all went paddle boarding down the river which was so relaxing! It is a quick 10 minute drive to Dalvay Beach and the Fish Tacos at Fins 6 minutes down the road we’re delicious! Christina was a great host too. She texted me a few times during our stay to ensure everything was all right. The only thing I would mark stars down for is the road to the cottage is very muddy and the upstairs needed a mirror! I highly recommend this place.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We are a young family with PEI and Ontario family and friends that loves to travel, enjoys beautiful Island summers, and sharing our little hideaway with others!

Why they chose this property

River's Edge Hideaway provides a great, relaxed combination of having what you need, activities right outside your door, privacy, and yet you're close to the fun of Charlottetown, the North Shore beaches, great restaurants and golf courses, and so much more!

What makes this property unique

The Winter River is not only private and quiet for any paddling or swimming you'd like to do, but it's also home to many birds and fish, and full of little nooks and crannies to explore!
