Couldn't ask for better

Review Submitted: August 25, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2011
This cottage was fully stocked with everything you require (even a bread maker and eyeglasses wipes!) and it is beautifully decorated. Eugene is extremely responsive and provided great customer service.

It is about a 10 minute drive from the closest town with amenities (Kensington). It is a 2 minute drive to a white sand beach- you could walk but I wouldn't recommend this with young kids (we have a 3 and a 6 year old).

Favourite activities- Avonlea village, the "bottle houses" at Cap-Egmont and the Evangeline trail, renting bikes at Brackley-Dalway national park.
I have no hesitation in recommending this property.

Amazing Restful Retreat at The Dunes

Review Submitted: July 25, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
We just returned from an amazing stay at The Dunes. We were thoroughly impressed with the cottage and found it had absolutely everything we needed we needed. The Dukes were very helpful in providing a lot of information about the local area. The cottage is beautiful and super clean. Our kids enjoyed running around in the vast open spaces in front of the cottage and there are 2 beautiful beaches within walking distance of the cottage. It is also in a great location and within 30 minutes of local attractions in Cavendish and 20 minutes from Summerside. We highly recommend this cottage!

Relaxing place!

Review Submitted: August 1, 2010 Date of Stay: June 2010
What a relaxing place this is, great view from the deck, fully equipped kitchen, everything you would need. The cottage is comfortably decorated and very clean. We enjoyed the peacefulness of this place and long walks along the beach. The owner gave us a lot of infomation and answered all our questions promptly. The Dukes did a great job of making us feel welcome. We would highly recommend this lovely cottage.

Fabulous - Felt Like Home!

Review Submitted: September 16, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We stayed for 2 wks @ the beginning of August and we lucked out with the place we picked and the excellent weather.
It had everything you could ask for from decore (lovely pine wood throughout, Beautifully decorated, family feel, cottage/beach feel put with country class), amenties (toilet paper, laundry soap, dish soap, all appliances, towels but good ones etc...) It was clean and well maintained. It felt like home!
The other great thing was the deck overlooking the Basin was just perfect meaning the outoor furniture was nice and comfortable and the deck had a perfect view with no obstructions. Many beautiful nites so we had great use of the fire pit/fireplace outdoors.
Your not right on the beach but darn close with the camp ground right next door which many mornings I would walk through to the beach and it only took 10 minutes and you can get a nice walk along the beach if you can not walk around the Basin.
Lots to see and do it all depends on the weather and the 2wks we were there it manybe rained 1 day!
Excellent and great customer service. We would recommend this cottage to anyone because it is just worth the money but don;t pick our 2 wks :)

as beautiful as the photos appeared

Review Submitted: September 2, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
what an idyllic site! we loved the location of being sandwiched between 2 shores--the constant light seabreeze was like something from a novel. the nearby beaches were glorious--great walking, great family time and frolicking. our dog had her best vacation ever! we discovered a hidden dune in walking distance--great to jump and slide and have an evening BBQ. our whole family enjoyed themselves. and the inside of the cottage was truly exquisite--immaculate and new and elegantly appointed. we had everything we needed right there. one of our best family vacations ever. we will certainly return to PEI. thanks!
