The old Winsloe House is a 120 year old country home that has recently been refurbished and modernised. It is located on the coast in Guernsey Cove, 20 minutes from Wood Islands ferry on Route 18, and 5 KM from the in nearby town of Murray Harbour.

As with all VRBO homes, this is an entire house rental. We have hosted many happy guests here, however as of last year my wife and I are living in a completely separate building on the property with our two dogs.... we are _very_ guest concious, and respectful of privacy, and to date the only complaint we have had is for not seeing enough of us! If you have any questions about this please do not hesitate to ask!

The house is furnished to Canada Select 4-star standards and contains 4 charming bedrooms each with en-suite bathroom with shower/mini bath, WC, washbasin; satellite TV. The house also has wireless Internet access for guests. Although a country area you are close to the small fishing town of Murray Harbour, golf courses, The Confederation Trail for hiking and biking, seal & whale watching, fishing, lighthouses, a winery, restaurants and shop.

The larger town of Montague is within 30 minutes drive, and the province capital Charlottetown within an hour.

Nature lovers will be well rewarded by coastal views, and the opportunity to see whales, seals, dolphins, porpoises, herons, pelicans, cormorants to name but a few.

First off, the hosts were excellent. They stay to themselves but are quick to respond. Two tips that are more to do with the area than the specific property: bring more bug spray than you think you need, and be prepared to spend time driving (and associated fuel costs!). The house is ideal for a large group with four bedrooms and five bathrooms. It easily accommodated our group of four adults and four children. The kitchen is well equipped with more than enough dishes. The mosquitoes really come out by early afternoon, so we didn't spend much time at the fire pit or the beach, but enjoyed the brief times we did make it out. While there are a few restaurants, a gas station, and a general store nearby, the town of Montague is not too far and has most things you might need (including two decent breweries). All in all, a beautiful taste of rural PEI.

Nice Quiet Stay

The property was nice. Very quiet and relaxing. A bit of a distance from many of the provincial attractions but the island being relatively small, most were drivable in under 2 hours. The host was very responsive and mindful of privacy. Recommend especially for two families as each room has its own bathroom and TV.

My group and I had a wonderful stay at Paul's cottage. Paul was a very kind host, making us feel very welcome. Whenever we needed anything, he went far beyond what we needed. The cottage was clean, convenient, well-equipped, and comfortable. I would most definitely visit again!

Great stay!! Highly recommend!

The home is lovely!! We were a family of 5, traveling with grandparents to make 7 total. The 4 bedrooms each with a full bath and 1/2 bath downstairs was amazing!! Large kitchen, dining room and open living room gave plenty of space for us to gather. It was a short walk down path and stairs to a rocky beach, found lots of sea glass, interesting rocks and made dirt shirts!

The property is located in a beautiful and quiet part of the island. The rooms and bathrooms were perfect for our group of 7, which included our pup. We were able to climb rocks along the coast and explore in the backyard of the property. We were able to walk 1 minute down the road to Guernsey Cove, which is a beautiful and quiet beach. Paul was great to communicate with, and the house came with everything you would need to have a comfortable stay. It was easy to get to the more popular areas of Charlottetown and Cavendish, but there was plenty to see and enjoy right by the home. We loved it, and plan to go back to PEI another time.

Absolutely perfect

Paul and Satu’s property in Guernsey Cove is an absolute gem. Spacious, bright, and immaculately clean, the place could not have been more perfect for our group. The rooms were fantastic, each with its own bathroom. It’s clear that Paul and Satu have given careful consideration to every detail of the stay. We hope to be back!

A unique century property in a beautiful location. Spacious, well equipped. Close to beaches, shopping, restaurants. The beach area is beautiful, rock formations, great for finding sea glass. The view over the Northumberland Strait is magnificent. We enjoyed watching the cruise ships sailing in and out of Charlottetown. Our hosts, Paul and Satu,were wonderful. Quick to respond to questions. They live nearby with 2 dogs but you’d never know they were there. Very respectful of our privacy. Would highly recommend.

Century home delight

Beautiful spacious century home! We loved the big kitchen and that every bedroom had its own bathroom. We were a little surprised about the length of walk to the beach but it was still a lovely spot to enjoy a bonfire by the sea. The deck could do with updating as some boards are a bit soft but overall it’s a great house and very peaceful. Thank you for letting us stay!

Perfect place to relax

We had an absolute amazing week at PEI and staying here was perfect for us. While a bit big for our family of 4 (2 teenagers) everyone really enjoyed having their own bedroom & bathroom with plenty of room for the dog. The kitchen and other spaces gave us plenty of room to make dinners, play games, & relax with a good book. While the owners are next door above the garage I can honestly say we hardly noticed. In fact when I had an issue with my vehicle they were more than happy to lend some tools to help out!Other reviews are accurate about the beach and short walk. We found this nice as we liked taking the dog down there with a cup of coffee and just enjoying the sights and sounds.

Beautiful Home Away from Home

It was exactly as it was shown on the site. We appreciated having our own bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen was awesome!! The internet was strong. It was great to have a washer and dryer. All appliances were top notch. We were two grandmothers, a mother and two kids — 8 and 11. Even the kids often said “this is a great place”. The beach was a great exploring beach. Very rocky which added to the adventure. In the pictures, the beach looks closer to the house than it is, but it’s a short walk out the back. We hated to leave and would love to come back.

Lovely house with fantastic private oceanfront

Old Winsloe House is a grand country home with a modern Maritime vibe. Sparkling clean, even bigger than we expected! There is great living room with plenty of really lovely comfortable furniture, a large sunny dining area, and spacious well-appointed kitchen. All bedrooms with en suites a real bonus. The deck invites you to sit and enjoy the outdoors any time of day. We appreciated the groomed path through trees and fields to the private and beautiful beach area. We hadn’t realized the owners live within steps of the house, sharing the driveway and parking area. This is ideal if there are any issues and they made an effort to be unobtrusive. This is a wonderful property particularly if you are travelling with friends or family. We loved it and would return in a heartbeat.

Beautiful Location in eastern PEI

Overlooking Nova Scotia this 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom 100 year recently renovated seaside house was a perfect place to stay for a family of 8. Great big fully equipped kitchen, big dining and living room and each bedroom had there own bathroom. There's a small private rocky beach about 100 yards from the house. But If you want to go to the great beaches in PEI it's only 30 minutes to 1 hours drive. There's a fully equipped gas barbecue, cable TV, Wi-Fi, etc. laundry facilities, big deck and lots of patio chairs to see the ocean in morning with a cup of coffee. The property manager Paula (thanks for everything) is only a phone call and she will take care of the problem.

This is a beautiful, tastefully renovated century old home.

The home has been renovated while maintaining the charm of the era when it was built. There is a four piece bath in each of the four bedrooms. The kitchen is very large and extremely well equipped. The home would be well suited for four golfing couples. There are lots of great courses within an hours drive. The shore is on the property and extremely beautiful but really not that suitable for swimming. A nice addition to the shore area would be a gazebo. This place is beautiful and well equipped but not so pretentious that you don’t feel as though you can vacation comfortably in it. I recommend it highly.

Fantastic getaway!

My family and I just spent a week at the Olde Winsloe House and could not have had a better experience. The house is located on a very large, quiet lot and the house is superb. Every room was bright and immaculately clean. Each bedroom had very comfy beds and lovely bathrooms. The kitchen is very large and equipped with beautiful appliances and accessories that surpassed all our needs. The property manager, Paula, is very helpful and responsive if you have any questions. There is a lovely little beach down a short path on the property and a bigger, beautiful sandy beach only a four minute drive away. The cottage is a perfect location for sunning on the quiet deck or going to play in the waves. We could not have been happier and will be sure to return.
