Sadly, I didn't actually stay here though it looks like a great house. I was unable to make the trip, and cancelled the stay before the cancellation deadline and received a full refund. After the original dates of the booking, however, I received a notification that the host has left me a review, but I'm unable to see it unless I leave a review of my own, so I'm leaving a review to gain access to that review. I'm sure the house is great, and the host is great, but because I did not stay there, I did not personally experience either, and cannot offer any actual review for them.

Such a character filled, unique little piece of paradise. The views of the bay were absolutely amazing and watching the bald eagles fishing from the couch was a real treat! The location is ideal being only 8 mins from the gorgeous big beaches and even closer to Fin Folk restaurant and another impressive beach. We would definitely stay here again next time we are in P.E.I.! Thanks for a wonderful stay Jeff!

We were three friends travelling together, and while the cottage may not be the most practical setup for three separate people, the location and charm made it absolutely worth it! The cottage itself is full of character and had everything we needed. The beach was great - we spent hours relaxing, watching eagles and other sea birds, and dipping in and out of the water. Evenings were especially magical soaking in the hot tub under the stars. This is truly a special spot and we left feeling relaxed, grateful, and wishing we could come back!

A Slice of Paradise!

We had an incredible stay! The pictures honestly don’t do this place justice—while they are beautiful, the experience far surpassed all our expectations. It was incredibly peaceful, serene, and private, with a lovely little beach that felt like our own secluded paradise.The attention to detail was outstanding, and the decor was both gorgeous and welcoming. So much care has gone into creating a truly relaxing and inviting retreat. I recommend this place to anyone looking to unwind in a stunning setting.

Hi Holly, Thanks for the kind words. It is special but takes the right people to embrace the beauty! With no TV, no super fast internet and no malls close by you need to be a lover of nature, tranquility and sunsets to really get the best out of the place. You did! Thanks!

Peacefull, quiet and dreamy retreat by the sea.

The Fishmonger's Dream truly lived up to its name. We had a wonderful time at Jeff's quaint and charming cottage. The home is beautifully appointed and full quirky and fun coastal details that made it both cozy and unique. Perfect for relaxing and observing Ospreys and fishing boats go by. We especially loved visiting the dog-friendly beach at Finn's near by - a real treat for both us and our dog. All in all, our stay exceeded our expectations and hope to return next year.

Unique and Beautiful Property

My wife and I were celebrating our 40th birthdays with a trip to PEI and couldn't have been happier with our stay here. The location is absolutely gorgeous: We took advantage of kayaking in the bay, walks on the red sand of the private beach, and late summer sunset views over the bay/ocean from the hot tub and back porch. You can also get to many of the major tourist destinations on the island (Green Gables, Charlottetown) in a little over 30 mins by car. We hope to return someday!

We celebrated our 25th anniversary at the Fishmonger's Dream. It was so quiet and relaxing. I loved watching the birds and we made good use of the hot tub when it cooled down at night. Sunsets were amazing, and the stars were spectacular. (I also quite enjoyed the view out the skylight.) Jeff was a great host. Very attentive. What struck me as we walked in, was the smell. It didn't smell like fish at all! But very sweet, warm and welcoming. My only regret is that we didn't understand how the tide worked. (City folks, you know.) When we tried to take the kayaks out - it was far too shallow to get anywhere. But the view made up for it. Love that salty air!! It was a great stay.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff

Host profile image
I was born on the east coast and grew up here. After graduating from university here I left and travelled he world for 20 years. Along the way I got an MBA in international tourism from Adelaides University in Australia, hosted a travel-adventure TV series for 2 years (www.whichwayto.tv), and ran a tourism business in Tokyo, Japan. But I genuinely missed the north shore of this beautiful, simple little island so I moved back to start my family and my television production company (www.hbhproductions.com).

Why they chose this property

I chose this place because it's so beautiful, natural, friendly and simple. It's a little oasis from the chaos and madness of the 'outs' world! I love bird watching, beach walking, sunset bonfires and just enjoying the serenity of this little piece of paradise!

What makes this property unique

This property was built by an American over 40 years ago and was located down the shoreline. When I moved here I bought the old delapidated cottage and dragged it down the shore to this location. Then I spent 3 years gutting and renovating the entire place to the tranquil little oasis that it is today! The incredible views, abundant nature, and mesmerizing sunsets don't get any better!
