About this property

The Glowbug Cottage

This cute 2-bedroom cottage is set on 5 acres of seclusion minutes from two beautiful white sand beaches. It is connected to Nature Space Resort and shares all of the amenities at the resort including a meditation walking labyrinth, a sauna, the lake and private dock, kayak/paddle board rentals, a yoga yurt space for classes or your private practice and trails throughout.

The beaches are within walking distance (10-15 minutes) or a short drive (2-3 minutes), and you are only 5 minutes drive to the Village of Morell, and less than 20 minutes drive to the Mysa Nordic Spa and Greenwich National Park. Conveniently located only 30 minutes to Charlottetown, and the rich arts and culture scene the Island's Capital has to offer, while being imbedded in the "Natural Capital" of PEI surrounded by nature, wildlife, and the natural history of the St. Peters Harbour area.

Come back to rest after long days at the beach, or a day of adventure to this tranquil spot - a marvelous space to take in our spectacular starry nights and have a campfire and unwind! For added comfort, the cottage has high-speed starlink internet, a smart tv, and air conditioning. This accommodation is pet friendly.

Saturday-to-Saturday 7-night minimum rentals from July 1-Sept 9. Shoulder season rentals are a 3-night minimum.

We always pick different areas to stay on our PEI vacations, but this year we stayed at the same location as last year - Glowbug Cottage. We like the location, the amenities and staff/owners. They were very accommodating for our pets and provided everything we needed. For a vacation that has the right amount of rest, relaxation, fun and adventure - I'd recommend this place!
Safe places for the animals to have some fun.

Absolutely love it!

Had the best vacation! The entire family loved it. The cottage itself is very nice and we loved that it was private. The beach is breathtaking. Truly the nicest beach I have ever seen in the maritimes. Was too far to walk to the beach with the kids but it’s a super short easy drive. Will definitely be back again!

Love This Place

The location was perfect for a family getaway. Accommodations and staff were welcoming and provided everything we needed - even bathrobes and dog bed. The local beach was one of the most beautiful we've seen in PEI and had the most amazing sunsets. The guided kayak tour was the highlight of our stay and well-worth the cost. The tour was lead by the resort owner who was extremely personable and provided a history and nature lesson while we enjoyed the peacefulness of being out on the water. This place is a little hidden gem in beautiful PEI.

About the host

Hosted by Jarrod Gunn McQuillan

Host profile image
Heather and Jarrod Gunn McQuillan run Nature Space Resort, a boutique glamping resort in St Peters Harbour PEI.

Heather is a yoga teacher and a veterinarian who is passionate about forming meaningful connections. She loves to help guests learn about the flora and fauna here at the resort, and she loves working with individuals, families and groups on their personal wellness goals.

Jarrod is an advanced kayak coach and guide, and was the oyster biologist for the province of PEI for over a decade. He loves leading individuals and groups on the water and helping them connect to the ecology and natural history of the area.

Why they chose this property

This resort is located at PEI's "Natural Capital" where nature and history intersect. Our ocean lagoon is designated as an Important Bird Area (IBA) and has an important history for both the indigenous people of the area and the French and English settlers who came later. The water, the skies, the land....you are truly immersed in one of the most special areas on Prince Edward Island. Time runs a little slower here, so that you can spend lazy days at the beach, or on the water connecting to this incredible space and with each other.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is set away from the resort, so you have the privacy of 5 areas, but can simply stroll over for a yoga class, a sauna, a ramble through the trails, to rent a kayak or SUP, or take a tour with us.

The beaches are pristine and private. They are locals beaches, so away from the hustle and bustle of the big beaches at Cavendish or Brackley, but the same beautiful North Shore, white sand beaches without the crowds.

One of the beaches has an historic lighthouse making for beautiful scenery and photo opportunities. The beaches also show the history of the area as you can find the old pilings and wharf structures from the 1800's when this was a bustling shipbuilding and fishing community.
