Featuring views of Covehead Bay, a stay at Bayview Abode in Stanhope is like the long exhale you didn’t know you needed. This 2 bedroom, year-round cottage was completely overhauled in 2020, and today is the ideal place to relax, play, explore, and even work during your PEI holiday.
Containing vaulted ceilings, natural light, and brand new finishings throughout, it’s a short walk or drive to National Park beaches, trails & attractions, tasty dining, world-famous golf, and a 20-minute drive to Charlottetown. No detail has been spared in this 900 square foot cottage that punches above its weight. It was renovated and (re)designed by two native Islanders, one an experienced home builder and the other an author & content manager in the tourism industry, in 2020.
The decor takes inspiration from the natural environment that surrounds it, which can best be described as "contemporary-coastal", giving it a very relaxed feel. Think natural woods, clean lines, rattan furniture, locally-made artwork, greenery, soft materials in linens, towels & furniture, and soothing beach tones with tasteful pops of colour.
Open concept kitchen, living room, and breakfast nook with vaulted ceilings and stunning natural light throughout. Down the hall, you’ll find a spare room with a luxurious queen bed. At the back of the cottage is the primary bedroom with views of the surrounding spruce trees and a walk-in closet. The modest bathroom contains a brand new tub & shower and washer & dryer.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher and island for prepping, dining, entertaining and, of course, shucking oysters! Brand new heat pump offers air conditioning for those hot summer days and plenty of coziness for a winter retreat.
A huge deck spans the front and both sides of the cottage, with the east side making a perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee in the sun. The large lawn off the deck offers an ideal space to have a bonfire, play lawn games with friends & family, and enjoy the outdoor shower!
There is never a dull moment in the coastal area of Stanhope... unless, of course, you want there to be! Everything you need to enjoy your vacation is within walking distance or a 5-minute drive, and the capital city of Charlottetown is a quick 20-minute car ride.

We were two couples doing a quick visit to PEI and this was the perfect place for us to tour from.Everything was spotlessly clean - beds were super comfortable - lovely views and a quick walk to the beach. All in all, a wonderfully cosy and well equipped place to come home to after a day of touring. We would definitely stay here again!

Thanks so much for your kind words, Linda! So glad you enjoyed your time at our place and had a great time touring the Island! We’d love to have you back anytime :)
Great location and clean cottage with everything you could ever want. We stayed for a week and decided we will book here again for our next visit to PEI. We have stayed elsewhere in previous trips but this is now our favorite cottage.

Thanks so much for your kind comments, Gordon—and glad you’ve found a new favourite place to stay here in Stanhope! Appreciate you leaving the cottage in such great condition as well. We’d love to have you back anytime :)
Very easy access to the north shore thru the Provincial Park (owner provides park pass). Well equipped home. Would definitely stay here again.

So glad you enjoyed your time here at Bayview Abode, Bill! And thanks for leaving the cottage in such great condition—much appreciated! Please come back anytime :)
We had such a wonderful stay here. Everything was perfect! It was exceptionally clean, exactly as advertised and great communication from our host. We’d love to return!
Wonderful stay at the cottage. We had two wonderful weeks. The cottage is very clean and has all the necessary equipment for stay on PEI. We love the outdoor shower after the beach and the bikes that were at our disposal. Finally, Ellen and Brandon are available at all times. Merci encore pour votre accueil!
Our first visit to PEI was perfect. We were 2 couples at the house, with great accomodations. Although the cottage is compact, it had excellent provisions, allowing us to cook in a few nights with more than adequate equipment ( including an oyster knife!) the location is conveniently located with walking access to the seashore, biking paths and infinite beauty. Our golfers explored multiple courses within 5-40 minutes of the house. We dined out several times, both within 5 minutes ( Finfolk and original Richards) and towards North Rustico (Blue Mussel and Dhalia) all were excellent. We met our host on arrival. Ellen was charming. Give this a five star trip!
This property exceeded my expectations. This place had everything I could ever need for my 6 week stay. Ellen and Brandon were also very thoughtful. I stayed during the winter time and they told me to notify them if I had any issues with the power shutting off. Honestly have nothing negative to say. I would 100% stay here again and recommend this property to my friends.
