About this property

Crooked Cottage on Kildare Capes

Make the most of your trip to PEI by spending your vacation in our completely renovated 1 bedroom cottage that overlooks the majestic Kildare Capes and the Atlantic Ocean! Situated on 3 acres, enjoy the peace & quiet of PEI with the sounds of the ocean at your doorstep! Perfect for 2 - 4 people, the 'Crooked Cottage' has everything needed to simply relax and unwind! The covered porch is the perfect place to start your day and enjoy the sunrise, while the fire pit is the place to be if wanting to see a million stars!! A perfect place to sit & enjoy the ocean views up close, a newly built covered bunkie sits atop the Cape for you to enjoy!

We have also added a custom built bunkie that contains 2 single beds and a porch to enjoy the sunrise, or to simply sit near the firepit and see the stars.

Situated between the towns of Alberton and Tignish, we are minutes away from local amenities & incredible beaches. A short drive along Highway 12 will take you past several working harbors where fresh seafood is readily available! Drive to the end of the island to see the North Cape lighthouse, enjoy dinner or simply relax and enjoy some of the most incredible sunsets in the world!

The property is licensed by Tourism PEI (Licence # 2101283) and is inspected on an annual basis!! Like most rural properties on the Island, our water is supplied by a well that is located on the property. Although tested annually by the Province of PEI, filtered and safe to drink, some guests may prefer to use bottled water for drinking/cooking. Bottled water as well as a water cooler are available for you to use while you stay at our cottage

*Note No direct beach access from our property, but a short 5-minute drive will get you to the beautiful and private St. Felix beach.

Quiet and dark location. Perfect for watching the stars. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. Beds were comfy,lots of towels. perfect for two people, but three would’ve been a tight squeeze. Place was very clean.

Great little cottage in a quiet corner of PEI. It was clean and well equipped - appreciated the mosquito coils for sitting out on the porch in the evening.

I want to begin by saying the owner/host is lovely and kind. The location is fantastic! And the cottage, as a whole with grounds and outdoor amenities is really good. We came with a large dog who loved the big green in front of the house and having the fire pit was fun, as well as, the front porch with chairs and table. The inside of the cottage is quaint and sweet. We had everything we needed; the cottage is well equipped. However, I think there are a few things that would be helpful to know. The bedroom is very nearly 100% filled with the bed (which was a nice bed). That's not necessarily a bad thing, but maybe would have been something we would have considered with our dog who is accustomed to laying beside me on the floor. As well, the water supply is well water which again is not a "bad" thing, but would have been good to know in advance. Sadly, the bathroom was quite lacking in cleanliness - particularly the shower - and the sink drain was nearly completely plugged. I would recommend this property for those who are "all in" with the whole package.

The Crooked Cottage

A very beautiful, relaxing location. The cottage was fully equipped and so well stocked with everything we could imagine or ever need on a stay. Loved the view from the covered deck of the water and the local animal life {rabbits, squirrels and several species of birds including a couple of raptors.

Lovely little cottage

The cottage was a great place to stay and relax and unwind. Great ambience. It’s well provisioned for summer with lots of cookware, bedding, candles, bbq ietc. and is located on a lovely piece of property above the red sandstone cliffs. Other than challenging cell coverage (but good WiFi) it was a great place to stay.

Great Getaway Stay

We really liked Crooked Cottage…it was a nice location,vey peaceful and relaxing. The cottage had everything we needed for cooking our own meals. Short drive to a nice beach and grocery stores in both directions.The veranda on the cottage was great…a nice place to sit and soak up the view. The owner Catherine was easily accessible…checked with us to see how things were going… We would definitely go back as it was a most enjoyable spot.
