Penny’s place is very cool. The self-contained space met all of our needs and it was perhaps the most comfortable bed we encountered during our PEI excursion. The location is excellent for accessing the national park.

Loved our stay at Penny’s place. Beautiful property and a quick walk to one of the most beautiful beaches! My sister and 15 year old nephew shared the room. We didn’t have lots of space, but we had everything we needed and the bed was great, we didn’t spend lots of time inside so it was perfect for us. We woulddefinitely visit again. Penny was a lovely host and our kind of people!

Very nice host and neighbourhood. Cute room, nicely decorated and included lots of thoughtful extras. The one item that we were least fond of was that the shower was shared with the host but it was close to the room.

We had an overall very good experience and our host was very generous with access to shared spaces. We could check-in early, wifi was good snd access to beach area on bike was easy. We did find it cumbersome with the 3 steps up to the bed area a bit tricky especially at night. The kettle tripped the power but it was fixed promptly. The bed was a bit soft for two people.

About the host

Hosted by Penny Macleod

Host profile image
Hi, I'm a long-time Prince Edward Island resident and have proudly called Stanhope home for the past 30 years, where I raised my family. I love the island lifestyle, especially being just a 5- to 7-minute walk from both the beach and the bay, where you'll often find me paddleboarding or kayaking. I'm an easy-going, independent person who genuinely enjoys meeting new people and helping them feel welcome. I also share my home with my three friendly cats—Macy, Charlie, and Judee—who are a big part of my life. I look forward to sharing the beauty and relaxed pace of Stanhope with guests and helping make their stay a memorable one.

Why they chose this property

I love calling Stanhope home, and I've been fortunate to live here for many years. My parents owned and operated Sandpiper Cottages and Suites, just around the corner from where I live, so hospitality has always been a part of my life.

When they retired from the cottage business, I realized how much I missed welcoming visitors and helping them experience everything this beautiful area has to offer. That's what inspired me to open my home as an Airbnb. I enjoy meeting guests from near and far and sharing local tips to help make their stay in Stanhope relaxing, memorable, and truly special.

What makes this property unique

One of the things that makes my property unique is its location. It's just a 5–7 minute walk to Stanhope Cape Beach, located beside the iconic Covehead Harbour Lighthouse. Whether you're looking for a peaceful walk on the beach, a day in the sun, or a breathtaking sunset, it's all just steps away.

You're also only a short walk or quick drive from Covehead Harbour, where you can enjoy a deep-sea fishing excursion with Richard's Deep Sea Fishing or savour fresh local seafood at the original Richard's Fish & Chips.

Golf enthusiasts will love being just minutes from Stanhope Golf & Country Club, one of Prince Edward Island's most scenic courses. If you're looking to relax and recharge, Stanhope Lodge offers yoga classes and a charming café, making it the perfect place to start your morning or unwind during your stay.

For an unforgettable dining experience, Dalvay by the Sea and The Dunes Studio Gallery & Café are both nearby, offering exceptional cuisine in beautiful, uniquely Island settings.

After a day of exploring, relax outside by the campfire and enjoy the refreshing ocean breeze. On quiet summer evenings, when the wind is just right, you can even hear the sound of the waves rolling onto the shore. It's one of my favourite things about living here, and I hope you'll enjoy it too.
