We had a truly wonderful stay at Sunshine Beach House in Belle River. The communication between our host, Tracy, and me was exceptional from beginning to end. The home provided the perfect setting for a peaceful and relaxing week.We especially appreciated the thoughtful booklet with information about Sunshine Beach House, along with recommendations for things to do and places to visit and eat in the surrounding areas. It was incredibly helpful and made exploring the area so much easier.Thank you, Tracy, for making our stay so comfortable and enjoyable. We would not hesitate to book Sunshine Beach House again!
Great location on the Northumberland Strait. House has everything you need. Quiet spot for rest and relaxation. 45 minutes to Charlottetown (Gahan House for lunch or dinner), 30 minutes or less to 4 lighthouses, and just 15 minutes to Belfast Tulips (tulips bloom mid-May to early June) and an excellent bakery called Country Taste (breakfast or lunch).

This property was exactly as described. Absolutely beautiful both inside and out. It had everything you could want, from quality kitchen ware to cozy blankets. So calming! We were only there for a few days, but we intend to go back.

Thanks so much for your kind words. You were wonderful guests, and we are so happy you had a nice, relaxing getaway. We are delighted that you plan to stay again! That is the best complement we can get!! :)
Very well equipped house that has everything (and more) that you need for a beach stay. The kids loved beach-combing & clamming out the front door & spent hours at the Broken Rock Fossil Shop. Even though we visited outside the summer season we found lots to do on the East Coast.

This was such a wonderful stay. What a beautiful home and location with a lovely quiet beach. The kids had a blast exploring the sand and rocks and hunting for clams. The house is clean and inviting and the owners had thought of everything to make our stay perfect. Short drive to lighthouses and restaurants and anything else you would need. 10/10 recommend staying here and we will hopefully be back in the future.

Sunshine beach house was more than we could have imagined! The location, the decorating, the amenities available in the home were outstanding. I loved waking up looking out at the ocean. It was a wonderful haven to return to after the few day trips we went on. Walking on the sandbars was so relaxing. We cannot wait to return!!

About the host
Hosted by Tracy Carr
My roots and heart are in Prince Edward Island. My grandfather was Angus Murchison, the keeper of the famous Point Prim lighthouse, just 20 min away from Sunshine Beach House. I spent my summers on the South Shore of PEI, exploring the beaches and countryside with my family, friends and cousins. As an adult, I had the privilege of duplicating this experience with my husband, Jerry, our four children, and two grandchildren. The South Shore of Prince Edward Island is now part of all of our hearts. The magic and adventure of these red sandy shores at once enlivens and calms our souls. The people here are genuine, funny, and kind. Simply put, it's my favourite place to be, and my favourite thing to do is to share it with others.
Why they chose this property
We purchased our family cottage just a few cottages down from Sunshine Beach House back in 2009. We love the area so much, that we jumped at the chance to purchase Sunshine, when it hit the market in the spring of 2018. Already owning a cottage in this community, my husband, Jerry, and I have loved meeting people over the years who visit and rent cottages in our area. It is nothing short of a dream come true to have a second beach house that we can now both enjoy ourselves and also share with travellers visiting the Island. Jerry and I cannot wait to meet new vacationers and do everything we can to make their stay one that's full of wonderful memories and beautiful PEI experiences.
What makes this property unique
Sunshine Beach House is set in a quiet, serene community. In the peak of the summer, you can count the number of other people you see on the beach with one hand, if you see any at all. If you are looking for parks and attractions to visit, there are many on the Island, and most are just a nice scenic drive away. In our area, we are blessed with our gorgeous shores, red cliffs, expansive farm fields, and country side that is dotted with classic farm houses, barns, horses, cows, sheep, and flower gardens, not to mention the magnificent wild lupins that line the roadways all over the Island in the month of June. Everywhere you turn, it seems, is a photo opportunity. There are lovely restaurants, wineries, mini mills, country stores, gift shops, farmers markets, and lovely harbour towns all within a 20 minute drive of Sunshine Beach House. Sunshine is definitely the place to be, if you want to step out for a little adventure and then return home to utter peace and tranquility.
