About this property

Honeycomb Cottage - bright, airy and spacious sanctuary with water view!

Nestled in the cozy cottage community of MacIntyre Shore in Donaldston, PEI (Mount Stewart postal district), Honeycomb Cottage is close to many beaches, and a short drive to Charlottetown, Cavendish, golf courses, the National Park, and many outdoor activities. Honeycomb Cottage is winterized too, so it's a great weekend getaway perfect for snowshoeing or winter hikes. There are large front and back yards, a wrap-around deck with BBQ (in summertime), a well-stocked kitchen for cooking, and there is a playground just one lot over from the cottage. Honeycomb Cottage is a perfect vacation home for families, couples or friends. Tourist Establishment License # 2202909.

The main living area is in the centre and has a large, high hexagon-shaped ceiling (hence "Honeycomb Cottage"). The main bedroom and ensuite are off one side of the main living space, and the "guest wing" with two bedrooms, laundry and bathroom is off the other side. All bedrooms have closets and dressers not seen in the photos.

There are some stores nearby with some food and convenience items, but to fully stock up on groceries you will most likely need to go the a big grocery store in Charlottetown (Superstore or Sobeys). Local stores (seasonal) include Jewell's Country Market in Marshfield, The Shore Market at Covehead Harbour in the National Park, and Lily's Convenience, Ultramar & Irving Gas Stations in Dunstaffnage, Scotchfort and Mount Stewart respectively, are open year-round.

There is an "info sheet" with more pertinent information, brochures and suggestions of things to do. There is a TV, no cable, but there is Chrome Cast so you can stream from your phone or tablet.

Cancellation Policy: Travellers who cancel at least 30 days before check-in will get back 100% of the amount they've paid. If they cancel between 14 and 30 days before check-in, they'll get back 50%. Otherwise, they won't get a refund.

Our house rules: primary renter must be 25 or older, no smoking, no parties or events, and maximum of six people staying/sleeping in the cottage. Pets are permitted for a fee, but must not be left alone in the cottage due to separation anxiety ("accidents" on the floor, barking, etc.)

Cozy clean home that was a perfect location to tour around. We wanted to see the Anne of Green Gables properties and had a sunny day for our tours. The kitchen had all the utensils and pots for cooking a good meal. There is a peak a boo view from 2 windows of the Tracadie Bay from 2 windows. It’s an easy walk to the water. The house theme is bees and honey and that is so appreciated for the environmental thoughtfulness. This was an enjoyable experience. Thank you so much!

Thank you Irene for your lovely review, and for taking such good care of my property. The minimal cleaning required after you left was greatly appreciated, especially since I sprained my thumb a few days ago making most chores painful and time-consuming! Thanks again 😀 Dianne

We had a wonderful time on PEI and Honeycomb Cottage was excellent. Location worked out great since we had family also staying in the vicinity. We have been on the island a number of summers and this cottage was far and away our best experience. We hope to be back . Thank you Dianne !

The property is nice and pretty clean. Just a heads up: make sure you sort all your trash, compost and recycling properly. After we left we received this message from the Host: How come you didn't sort the waste and compost? This is a significant problem for me now. You didn't sort, and then put waste and recycling in the green/compost bin. Now, because of this, the black bin is full, plus one extra bag there is no room for; I will have to take it to my home. There is now no room in the black bin for my guests this week to put their garbage. I find this unaccepta le. The house rules clearly state that garbage and waste must be properly sorted.I did reply that we apologize and saw the flyer on the fridge on our third day there and started sorting trash. (You’ll need to open the utility room behind the kitchen to find where the various trash shorting bins are)
Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 31 August 2026
PEI regulations for sorting garbage are clearly stated in the Cottage Info Sheet; also, there is a guide developed by Tourism PEI specifically for tourists posted on the fridge, which MUST BE POSTED for Tourism PEI inspection. There is no reason for anyone not to sort, or claim they didn't know. It's 2026, sorting garbage is normal.

Perfect location, perfect space

Well located, and well laid out, this was perfect for us for a few days on the island. Nice and close to everything we wanted to do, and the layout of the space itself was thoughtful. Everything we needed was available, and we were very comfortable, including on a rainy night with nothing to do but sit and play cards at the kitchen table. We would definitely stay here again!

The living area was very impressive! The kitchen was well stocked and easy to find anything we needed. The vaulted ceiling in the living room was so beautiful and gave the feeling of airiness & space. The master br was lovely. The deck with mums & pumpkins was very lovely. We wish we could have used the screened in porch, but didn't have the opportunity.
