The house was very well stocked with the supplies, the owners thought of everything. I give them top marks. Beautiful location on Brackley Bay, we enjoyed sitting outside on the deck. Location is perfect, 15-20 minutes away from the airport, 5 minutes away from the PEI National Park, about 30 minutes from the Green Gables Heritage Place. We had a wonderful stay.

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.

Dunes View Spectacular

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.

Spotless, well stocked and fabulous location

This place has it all....close to airport, on the water, spotlessly clean, and near many of the prime beaches. The hot tub was a bonus addition at the end of a long day. Great host. Great place. Would definitely recommend!

Perfection!

We had a fantastic stay. The house was 3 minutes from the beach and centrally located to everything else we wanted to do. Very well equipped and the photos are accurate. The house and view are actually better than the photos show. We can't wait to go back next year and stay longer!

Great location!

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!

Fall PEI Golf Trip

We were four from Ottawa playing 8 rounds of golf over 10 days in Sept. 2021. The cottage from Sheila and Mike was excellent and they were great hosts. We cooked a few meals in the cottage and its kitchen was well appointed. The beds are comfy and we all slept great. The views over the bay are nice and we enjoyed star watching while relaxing in the hot tub. Some notables from our stay were: - diner at the Dunes Cafe within walking distance ... best meal of our month long east coast trip and quite an interesting place as well - all 8 golf courses that we played were excellent. I especially liked the four nearby (Glasgow Hills, Eagles Glen, Green Gables and Anderson Creek). - went to a Ceilidh in Stanley Bridge. It was my first Ceilidh and it was a great time. It was nice to hear some local music.

Great location for enjoying Prince Edward Island National Park and the Confederation Rail Trail. Attractive decor and comfortable furnishings with spectacular water (and sunrise) views. Well supplied kitchen made meal preparation easy. Many little extra touches like a snack basket and beach supplies. All topped off with evening hot tub time! A delightful stay at Dunes Drift!

We loved the location near Brackley beach and waking up to the sunrises on the bay! The cottage had everything we needed and more. The tv was not a Smart tv which would have made a difference for the evenings and/ or better game selection ( of course these are small quibbles). It truly was a perfect place to stay!!

WOW beyond expectations!

Good communication with Sheila, who was very friendly and attentive to our needs. Special attention was paid to us upon arrival with a welcome note and a basket filled with goodies.The view of the bay WOW! The hot tub beautifully located with a view of the bay a very nice bonus!Very clean, very comfortable. The kitchen facilities exceeded our expectations, just like at home, no worries, everything is there. Same for the bathroom, with a small basket of soap, lotion, etc. Pretty much everything you need for outdoor and indoor activities. Easy access and a short drive to Brackley Beach National Park.Great internet access. We have rented several properties around the world and this one is at the top of the list. The only downside, which is beyond the owners' control, is the mosquitoes. Finally, we would have really appreciated being able to check in after 2:00 pm instead of 4:00 pm.Highly recommended. We would definitely go back.

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.

Great Location and Lovely Home

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.

Spectacular!

This property is not your ‘typical’ PEI cottage. I would more accurately describe it as a waterfront vacation home! It is spacious, beautifully decorated and spotless!! The kitchen is well equipped and all the extras left us wanting for nothing. Location was fantastic, was peaceful in a tiny waterfront community. Sheila was very responsive if we needed anything at all. Highly recommend this home with stunning views and a perfect host! Thanks Sheila for everything. If able to I would have rated 8/5!

Awesome Property

The property is located within the perfect location of PEI. All the amenities you can think of for your stay was well provided. All necessary beach supplies were made available. The hot tub was great. If you're a cyclist like some of us, Brackley Beach is the perfect spot to cycle and explore. The host was great and quick to respond when needed. I highly recommend this location for your stay in PEI.
