This is our third year staying here, and we absolutely love it. The peacefulness of sitting on the porch watching the fishing boats in the harbour and all the sea birds sustains me through the long, cold winter. Perfect location.

We had a wonderful time as the house is next to Cavendish Park and lots of activities. Enjoyed walking on the boardwalk to town for fresh baked goods, fresh fish, and ice cream. Very relaxing place to enjoy coffee in the morning on the front porch.

Wonderful Week

We loved Harbour House as it felt just like home. Spotlessly clean, comfortable, windows all around to soak in the top notch harbor views, well stocked with kitchen and dining needs, and located a 5-10 minute walk along the harbor to restaurants, fish market, grocery store, bakery and other assorted businesses in the village. We easily explored PEI as all was within a 1.5 hour drive from Harbour House. It's not modern flashy, but fits perfectly like your favorite pair of shoes. We were sorry to leave and would love to return!

Home comfort and Ocean views

A very tidy, well presented, comfortable house perfect for a weeks stay. Walking from the door includes a round circuit of 5 k, access on foot /bike to the national park at the bottom of the hill, a bistro bookshop. grocery store, ice cream parlour and some restaurants. 30 mins from Charlotte town and an excellent base for exploring the whole Isand. even North Cape is under 2 hours away. The hosts were very helpful and welcoming and solved an issue with tripped switch really quickly. A lot of places locally were closed as we were a week ahead of most opening times however, the up side was that we virtually had most places of beauty for walking to ourselves. Thinking about families staying here they have even provided a handy trolly to pull everything to the beach ( 15 min walk) and outdoor cushions. we saw Sea eagles fishing from our front deck and as we are early risers watched the fleet come and go. The Dunes Gallery near Brackley has a cafe in season, and local Village eatery Pedros is simply SUPERB! So glad we booked this lovely house

Lovely spot

I stayed at Rustic Harbour House in early May. The home was impeccably clean, the bed was comfortable (always important), and was steps from PEI National Park and the beach. I enjoyed daily walks along the shore and the park's multi-use path.The house is 30 minutes from Charlottetown Airport and about ten minutes from Green Gables. There is a grocery store, liquor store, multiple restaurants, an ice cream shop, and in-season tourist shopping - all within walking distance. The house is also on the trail of The Island Walk.I hope to return and would strongly recommend this home.

Lovely home by the bay!

We are home now after a week’s stay at this cozy and tidy home. The views were marvelous as was walking the boardwalk across the street for exercise and meeting friendly folks along the way. Everything was at our fingertips when preparing meals. Wonderful memories were made and we will highly recommend it to all.Thank you, Cathy!!

Perfect spot for us!

The Harbour House is a real home away from home! We especially loved hanging out on “The Porch” - the deck - every day (many times during the day 😎). I think we ate every meal and snack out there (breakfast included)!! The location was perfect for us. Very relaxing. The boardwalk was just across the street and we were in walking distance to the beach, a bakery and a number of spots to eat. Big thank you to Cathy and Les for making us feel welcome and being only a text away when we had a question. We’re hoping to stay again in the future!

Emplacement stratégique avec vu sur la baie

Nous avons aimé le site près de tout, poissonnerie, épicerie crèmerie, plage, restaurants et surtout la marche sur trottoir de bois . La maison est propre mais la cuisine aurait besoin d’une mise à jour car nous aimons faire la cuisine. Pour l’ambiance la décoration est chaleureuse et confortable. L’accueil de la proprio était bien gentil vu notre longue route. Merci
