This cottage was were well supplied with all the necessities required for a week. The location was also very convenient to a number of beautiful beaches as well as interesting towns e.g. Cavendish, Kensington etc. Highly recommended.
Everything about our week stay at the cottage was excellent. Clean! Thoroughly stocked with all the necessary items in the kitchen, bathroom and family room. Lots of games!Close to Cavendish and Kensington.
The property is very well-maintained and feels practically new. It was spotless! The hot tub was large and in pristine condition, the rooms were nice and well-designed, the bed was comfy, the bathrooms were spacious, there was plenty of storage that was well-planned, and there were plenty of amenities in the kitchen and closets. The location was perfect amd access to the beach was very easy. The host was super-friendly, accomodating, thoughtful, and responsive... This was probably the best VRBO experience we've ever had! Definitely recommend this place and would stay here again if we return to PEI!
This beach cottage is fantastic! So well laid out and perfect for our family of five. The kids had their own wing with the two big kids in the bunk beds (which they loved!) and the baby in his own room. We really appreciated our primary suite too. Property is beautiful and cottage is close to the beach and close to a bunch of attractions. 10/10! Would absolutely stay here again!
Absolutely exceptional accommodations in the heart of PEI. Everything was so well thought out in the home and just a small walk to the beach. Take the time and check it out, this is an incredible place to stay!!!

Great cottage! Loved the quiet location super close to the beach. Loved the clean, well appointed interior. Lindsay was very attentive & helpful. Hope to return next year.
Spectacular. Cottage was just as presented and proximity to beach was wonderful. We enjoyed visiting in the area with plenty to do. Great clean hot tub to relax after a vigorous day enjoying the countryside. Did get to see some colorful leaf changes.
Five stars isn’t enough! Perfect location in a quiet neighborhood close to the most beautiful beach in PEI. Cottage was beautiful, super clean and with all the amenities we could have wanted. And our host was lovely and very helpful and responsive. We hope to return again soon!

This is a wonderful cottage. New, clean, well laid out and maintained. We were 5 adults and never felt on top of one another. Great amenities (hot tub, bbq, beach chairs, etc). It's a great location, a beautiful part of the island.

This was a lovely property, well deserving of 5 star rating. Location was great as it was midway between Cavendish and Summerside, lots to do in the area. Very well stocked and the hot tub was an awesome touch! We travelled with 4 adults and 1 child, Lindsay has thought of everything, right down to the beach chairs to use at a beautiful beach close by. Thank you for sharing your property with us!

It is a joy and privilege to share with others and hear they have made meaningful memories with their families!
Little sandy cottage was the most perfect place for my group to stay during cavendish. We had a group of 6 people, and all had more than enough space to move around and sleep comfortably. Sean and Lindsay were super helpful and would respond right away when I had a question. The hot tub is a lovely addition especially on the chillier nights by the ocean. Amazing place to spend time and explore the island!
The cottage is brand new, immaculate and wonderful. The local beach is just a few minutes walk. The hot tub was so relaxing. The furnishings and bedding are very comfortable. The kitchen is perfectly equipped.
Definitely one of the finest places that we’ve stayed

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cottage by the sea. The home was immaculately clean and well laid out for a quiet and relaxing stay. The beach was absolutely beautiful and just a very short walk from the cottage. The hosts were very helpful and provided great dining and shopping suggestions. I highly recommend this vacation rental unequivocally and give it the highest possible rating. Many thanks to the helpful gracious hosts that made our stay a memorable one.
Great short walk to a sandy beach that was perfect for the kids (7yrs) to swim, play and make castles. Was able to have a beach bonfire in the last night which the kids thought was just the best. Enough to do around (30mins drive) for a week of entertainment (water park, amusement park, butterfly garden, etc) that was a change from the beach when needed. The house is divided into two sides for sleeping which was great to have one side for the kids. The hosts were super responsive and the property was pristine.

We loved having your family visit! Little Sandy is for families and memories! Sending you our best!
Good or bad, I never leave reviews as I don't want to be the one to unintentionally mislead a vacationer however I felt this property and owner deserved one. We have rented many VRBOs in the past and this is the only time that the description and condition of the property is exactly as promised! The house was immaculately clean, tastefully decorated and fully stocked & organized. From the moment we stepped in until leaving, we felt comfortable. The hot tub was clean and we used it twice a day. The beach was stunning. Our only regret was not staying longer. Lindsay was a great host and communicated immediately. We very much appreciated the fresh cinnamon buns and coffee....nice touch!

Thank you so much for your generous review!

I will try to find the NHL legends information for you earlier if you return so you can see a childhood favourite!
11/10 stars! It was beautiful. Perfect. As soon as we arrived the home/cottage was clean and ready for us. Kitchen was fantastic with all utensils and some wraps (tinfoil, bags for snacks etc) as well as basic cooking items (salt, pepper, olive oil, butter). Rooms were fantastic and central air to keep them cool. Walking distance to beach. 10-15 min to anything you might need from a store. Will definatly be back. You can really tell this cottage is cared for with love from the owners :)
Absolutely beautiful cottage. Worked really well for an extended family trip (4 adults and two children 4 and 2). The cottage set up worked well to give everyone space. The little kids loved to walk to the beach and having parking available was great for bringing stuff and getting home quickly if kids were cold. Beds were very comfortable and kitchen well equipped. Comfortable seats both inside and out. Would definitely stay here again.
