We loved the location! When you come from the prairies and are land locked it is so amazing to see and hear the tranquility of the water. Beautiful and relaxing, quiet neighborhood.
My mom wanted to see the setting of Anne of Green Gables, and this home provided us with the perfect location. It was a short drive to the LM Montgomery sites, and the close proximity to the beach gave us the opportunity to also have some relaxation and fun in the sun. The house had everything we needed, and the hosts communicated with us throughout our stay. There’s lots to see and do in this area, and this home which is only about a 20 min drive from the airport was the perfect place to stay for our adventures.
Our stay at the Dunes View house was exceptional. The hosts thought of everything and we were very comfortable. The highlight of the property is the view that is hard to grasp just from the listing. At one point we watched a bald eagle catch an eel in the bay. We biked to the beach, kayaked on the bay, and admired our surroundings daily from the hot tub and inside the house. The host was always quick to respond to any questions we had and we hope to be able to rent again in the future. It was only 20 minutes from Charlottetown which was perfect to take our daughter to hockey school and enjoy the beach or the bay before and after we had to drop her off. It's also not far from Cavendish so we were able to spend a day at the waterpark before she had to start hockey camp. We would highly recommend this vacation rental to anyone who wants to share their vacation with family- there is something for everyone.
The photos of this property do not do it justice, they look nice but it is far better in reality. Provides everything you need and well located, we had a great stay despite the weather.
We had a great time staying here. The house was exactly as pictured and the view was great. The home had everything we needed and even a welcome basket which was so nice. We were a group of 3 couples and there was enough seating and dishes for all. Loved our stay and will be back
Hot tub was awesome. Overlooks the water and is easy to maintain. Very clean and had everything we could need on our trip. Very quick responses from the host.
My wife and I stayed with a few friends, beautiful view of the water from dining room, living room and hot tub. Conveniently located being only a 10 minute drive from national park and 20 minutes from Charlottetown.
We had an amazing time staying at Dunes Drift. Everything was perfect: lots of comfy and beautifully finished spaces to spread out and enjoy the sunsets over Brackley Bay and the kitchen was fully stocked with all we needed to cook our meals!
Perfectly located for beach days, and has everything you may need for your stay. Sheila was a wonderful host and communication was great. Will definitely be looking into a repeat rental next time we're on the island!
We had a wonderful week enjoying your beautiful cottage with all the conveniences of home. Great location for so many reasons; quick trip into Charlottetown, beaches, golf, local shops, restaurants and in our case visiting with friends close by. Highly recommend!
The hosts here were so kind and I can tell from my interactions with them how they’ve earned so many great reviews. They very kindly let us drop our bags off a few hours early so we could go explore without hauling our stuff around.The location is wonderful for beach access - truly a three minute drive and you’re there. We enjoyed driving through the park with the complimentary pass, both for beach access and to drive along the coast and see the nearby lighthouse. The neighborhood is very cute and the house is right on the water of the bay. When I stepped outside one morning, it was so quiet it was almost like being in one of those sound deprivation tanks. A welcome respite from my five kiddos at home, haha.Looking out on the water from the big wall of windows was so lovely, and the hot tub was a dream on a few chilly spring evenings. I grew up visiting my grandparents’ lake house in Texas and staying here gave me some nostalgia for those times - the house is unfussy and homey, the beach towels a mishmash of patterns, the living room closet stocked with games and paperback novels. It feels like visiting the home of friends or family, and there’s something very charming about that. You’ll be in good hands if you decide to enjoy a stay here!
We had a fantastic time. Beautiful spot, impeccably clean, tons of amenities, wonderful owner to deal with. First time in 7 years we had a family vacation! Weather was awesome!
A great rental unit with all the premium extras that make a visit go from good to great. The location is a close drive to amenities and attractions. Just a beautiful spot and great facilities - was our friends first time to PEI and they fell in love with it. Would definitely book again for a future getaway.
We loved our time at the waterfront cottage! It was absolutely beautiful! Very clean and had the most beautiful waterfront view! 10/10 recommend this property!

Great vacation home with lovely views
The house was wonderful – very well appointed, comfortable, peaceful, and with a beautiful view of Brackley Bay. The location was great, very close to the National Park beach and an easy drive to Charlottetown. The owners were responsive and helpful with any inquiries.
We would not hesitate to stay here again.
