    The bathroom in the corners/edges could be cleaned better- I always notice bathrooms the most though it was filthy but could be cleaner. private bbqs would be nice.

    I liked the pool, the fact every cabin has their own bonfire pit, the view and a/c / heat. shampoo soap and lotion included.

    Can't think of anything in particular. Although there were neighbors playing loud music at 11 in the night and there was no quiet rule enforcement or education. It was a little far from the city but it was very close to the national park so depending on what you want to do the location will be either great for you or not.

    The cottage was very clean and tidy. It was big and comfortable and had all the amenities I needed. The beds were comfortable and the washroom was clean and big enough. There were ample furniture and kitchen utensils and cutlery etc. Overall it was a pretty good stay

    This cottage is highly recommended as it is a comforting home-away-from-home experience

    The particular cottage we were in - the common area's floors are creaky when walking on. However we slept well especially through the abnormally windy weather for the three nights we were at the cottage, very quiet location!

    The cottage fit very well for our needs for a 3 day weekend trip, it was homey and we were able to cook our foods which has been a boon. A lot of local stores were closed on Sunday, and a lot were seasonal outside the summer (Non-retail). We've been to hotels, motels, RV parks, all over PEI and this one stood out for sure. This cottage is highly recommended for its charm and resilience, especially given how many hurricanes hit the island over the last 5 years. It's not just a place to stay, it's a comforting home-away-from-home experience, not a cookie cutter hotel room.

    The cottage that I was in, was lacking in some kitchen items. There was no cutting board and the knives were not very good. I borrowed from a cottage that another family member was staying in.

    Our family of 16 had four cottages side-by-side. It was wonderful to be all together. The kids enjoyed the pool and the playground!

    Be sure to call the resort to pick your cabin. We had two, one was great, with a bathtub and dishwasher but the other just had a shower stall and no dishwasher. For children there is an opportunity to improve the playground: there are swings, a small slide and a hammock.

    Quiet,friendly, nice pool. Owner/staff very helpful and attentive.

    A decent place to park yourself for a few days to hit the beaches.

    I would think that a cabin like this could be stocked a bit better. Some paper towels, napkins, perhaps some coffee packets. The frying pan was poor, rounded bottom and the non-stick surface was not non-stick. I meant to leave a note that the frying pan handle needs screwed in. It's loose. And the front door lock set needs tightened up or replaced.

    You can cook your meals there. The grill was decent. Cabin was clean and was just a short drive to several beaches in the National Park. (You need to pay a fee, but it's worth it if you are going to be there for a few days.) Two excellent (but pricey) restaurants were close: Delvay by the Beach and The Dunes Studio Gallery & Cafe--gorgeous places.

    Some things in the kitchen are too old and oven needed to clean and the shower curtain needs to be changed. However we didn’t feel a major problem at all.

    Cottage had most of things we needed. Internet and TV was great to kill the time and pool was clean and nice. My twins had a great time there.
