About this property

Honeycomb Cottage - bright, airy and spacious sanctuary with water view!

Nestled in the cozy cottage community of MacIntyre Shore in Donaldston, PEI (Mount Stewart postal district), Honeycomb Cottage is close to many beaches, and a short drive to Charlottetown, Cavendish, golf courses, the National Park, and many outdoor activities. Honeycomb Cottage is winterized too, so it's a great weekend getaway perfect for snowshoeing or winter hikes. There are large front and back yards, a wrap-around deck with BBQ (in summertime), a well-stocked kitchen for cooking, and there is a playground just one lot over from the cottage. Honeycomb Cottage is a perfect vacation home for families, couples or friends. Tourist Establishment License # 2202909.

The main living area is in the centre and has a large, high hexagon-shaped ceiling (hence "Honeycomb Cottage"). The main bedroom and ensuite are off one side of the main living space, and the "guest wing" with two bedrooms, laundry and bathroom is off the other side. All bedrooms have closets and dressers not seen in the photos.

There are some stores nearby with some food and convenience items, but to fully stock up on groceries you will most likely need to go the a big grocery store in Charlottetown (Superstore or Sobeys). Local stores (seasonal) include Jewell's Country Market in Marshfield, The Shore Market at Covehead Harbour in the National Park (really awesome!), and Lily's Convenience and Irving and Ultramar Gas Stations in Dunstaffnage, Scotchfort and Mount Stewart are open year-round.

There is an "info sheet" with more pertinent information, brochures and suggestions of things to do. There is a TV, no cable, but there is Chrome Cast so you can stream from your phone or tablet.

Cancellation Policy: Travellers who cancel at least 30 days before check-in will get back 100% of the amount they've paid. If they cancel between 14 and 30 days before check-in, they'll get back 50%. Otherwise, they won't get a refund.

Our house rules: primary renter must be 25 or older, no smoking, no parties or events, and maximum of six people staying/sleeping in the cottage. Pets are permitted for a fee.

The living area was very impressive! The kitchen was well stocked and easy to find anything we needed. The vaulted ceiling in the living room was so beautiful and gave the feeling of airiness & space. The master br was lovely. The deck with mums & pumpkins was very lovely. We wish we could have used the screened in porch, but didn't have the opportunity.

Family Vacation

We had a wonderful time on PEI and Honeycomb Cottage was excellent. Location worked out great since we had family also staying in the vicinity. We have been on the island a number of summers and this cottage was far and away our best experience. We hope to be back . Thank you Dianne !

Perfect location, perfect space

Well located, and well laid out, this was perfect for us for a few days on the island. Nice and close to everything we wanted to do, and the layout of the space itself was thoughtful. Everything we needed was available, and we were very comfortable, including on a rainy night with nothing to do but sit and play cards at the kitchen table. We would definitely stay here again!

Cozy, sweet retreat outside of Charlottetown

The host was amazing. Very prompt with replying and gave good instructions. Great value. We enjoyed our stay in the winter. It was very quite and isolated. I can only imagine how beautiful it would be during the other three seasons.

Wonderful time at Honeycomb

Thanks so much for the lovely stay, Dianne. The cottage was super clean, the kitchen well equipped, and lots of space for all of us. The screened in porch was terrific as the maritime mosquitos are fierce in the evenings. We made great use of the parks pass and loved being less than 20 minutes from beautiful beaches. Our family fell in love with PEI and we look forward to coming to coming back.

I am from PEI, work as a self-employed Counselling Therapist, yoga teacher, and cottage owner :-)

Why they chose this property

The peace and quiet, water view and closeness to natural beauty like the woods and the ocean. Donaldston is very close to the part of PEI where I grew up, and is the community where my mother was raised.

What makes this property unique

The hexagon shape, and I love the spaciousness, light and high ceilings, as well as the location.
