The house was cute and comfortable. Location was fairly central and allowed for easy travel around a large part of the island. There were few minor “country living”issues with the house, but nothing that made the stay any less enjoyable. Very responsive hosts.

Thank you for your kind review. We're delighted to hear you found the cottage comfortable and enjoyed its central location for exploring PEI.
We appreciate your understanding of the occasional quirks that can come with country living, and we're glad they didn't take away from your experience. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we're happy to hear our team was able to assist you promptly when needed.
Thank you for choosing to stay with us. We'd love to welcome you back on your next visit to the Island!
Great location, great accommodation! Super close to the water and the perfect place to relax. Love that it was pet-friendly and was able to bring our entire family here. Would stay again 100%!
The view was amazing. The cottage was really nice. The location was Great. The main issue we had was with the laundry. Guests are required to put their used bedding beside the washing machine and start a load of towels. The laundry is in the basement. Definitely a safety issue: steep stairs to a cement basement with very low ceilings -- I'm guessing 5 feet clearance where the furnace ducts are and less than 6 feet for the rest of the ceiling. Perhaps suggest that guests leave the bedding and towels in a pile on the main floor?

Thank you for your feedback and for staying with us. We're glad you enjoyed the cottage, the location, and the view.
We appreciate you bringing up your concern about the basement access. The laundry request is simply a recommendation to help our cleaning team prepare the cottage for incoming guests and is never mandatory. If guests are not comfortable using the basement stairs, they are always welcome to leave the used bedding and towels upstairs and send us a quick message. We would be happy to take care of it ourselves.
Your feedback is valuable, and we'll review our guest instructions to make this option clearer for future guests. Thank you again for your comments and for choosing our cottage.
Great location with a spectacular view and open to pets. We went in September and although the property could use a deep clean (oven - laundry area) after the busy summer season, the sheets were clean and the beds were comfortable and everything else was great.

This property is situated in a beautiful spot right on the water. It was so lovely to sit on the deck in the morning and watch the sun rise across the water as the birds were busy fishing for their breakfast lol. Love North Rustico and a short drive to cavendish and Charlottetown.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and would love to host you again!

Disliked: Check-in, communication
This is a wonderful place to stay! Great views, location, clean and spacious. We had issues checking in unfortunately and would have liked more communication from the host. Otherwise I recommend!
Good rental in good location. I wouldn't describe to as oceanfront. Its really more ocean view. Kitchen is a bit dated and disorganized but otherwise a great rental for our family and good location for exploring the island.
Wonderful stay over July long weekend.
Stunning views, enjoyed the firepit and bbq!
Very well appointed, it’s so nice to have the thoughtful little extras (foil, garbage bags, dish tabs)
Great communication with hosts.
We will be back for sure!

Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and would love to host you again!
The view was outstanding. The house was well equipped. It was in a quiet location but also just 5 minutes to North Rustico harbor and an excellent central location for exploring all of the island.
We enjoyed our stay at this cabin/cottage. The location is perfectly located close to the North Rustico harbour and the beach, with Brackley being only a further 15 minutes away. There was enough room for us and having laundry on site was a perk.
Our only suggestion would be to have a fan in each room as it can get quite hot.
It was a great stay overall!
This North Rustico Gem is even more picture perfect in person!! Right on the water, the house offers comfortable beds, kitchen with lots of pots and pans, grill, fire pit, great lawn for games. Our first time to PEI and we couldn’t have been happier with the location! Close to good restaurants and shops locally, also nearby attractions in cavendish and a short drive to Charlottetown and other parts of the island! Friendly neighbors and hosts were very responsive and easy to communicate with. Fun for the dogs and kids! Would recommend 10/10 and would like to come back!
We enjoyed our stay-only issue was some difficulty unlocking and gaining entrance-mastered it eventually. Very peaceful,good view of "harbour",excellent food in area( Pedro's was fantastic).Only reason for not planning an immediate return is desire to see other parts of our great country.Weather was fantastic!
This property was beautifully situated for exploring all the amazing beaches, hikes, and restaurants in the are and also ideal for just relaxing by the water. Generous bedrooms, super comfortable beds, fully fitted out kitchen with everything you could wish for. Lovely wrap around deck for morning coffees and evening meals. Fire pit in the yard. We loved it! Host was super responsive. Exactly as pictured.

Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and would love to host you again!
Beautiful view . Sat on deck and had coffee looking at the water and listening to birds. House was clean and good communication with owner. There were some technical difficulties. No directions on how to lock the back door or how to run washing machine. Could not hook up to internet until wonderful neighbor helped us out . But all in all, a wonderful time!
We had an incredible stay and it was perfect for our family. Plenty of space (indoor and out). They had everything we needed there and more including firewood for the fire pit. Clean quality linens. Provided pots, dishes, BBQ utensils, etc., even had many condiments in the fridge if needed. Owners are wonderful and went above and beyond for us. Communication from booking through leaving. We felt like they cared about us having a wonderful stay. Pictures and description are accurate - honestly it was even better in person. Words/pictures don’t describe the feel or the view. The waterfront was amazing- it was peaceful and the kids loved it too. A We would love to find our way back to PEI again one day and will not hesitate in reaching out to R and S to book this North Rusico gem again!
