AWESOME!
This place is so EVERYTHING! The owners live next door, are incredibly friendly, helpful and responsive. The entire place is beautifully decorated, very cozy and comfortable, has everything you could possibly need, and is just so relaxing. We were there off-season (intentionally avoiding the Cavendish chaos of summer) so really enjoyed watching movies, cooking, board games and snoozing. The weather wasn't great but had it been, there are so many amenities and places outside to sit, relax, eat or play. This was incredibly good value.

A ski trip to remember!
Kevin and Lourdes’s warm welcome and very special home made our PEI ski trip extra special. Such a lovely location! The interior is not only beautifully appointed, it’s well designed for very comfortable living. The exterior offers lots of space to sit, relax, and play. The beds and furniture were not only lovely to look at, they were very comfortable. Everything one could possible need was available. Thanks so much for making this such a memorable ski vacation!

Our stay at the Island Gales Cottage was perfect!! Kevin and Lourdes are exceptional, thoughtful hosts, and their generous hospitality and warm welcome were much appreciated. Kevin’s orientation to the property upon our arrival was very helpful. The cottage and surrounding property are beautiful and in a quiet, relaxing setting. All of the amenities are excellent, which can be attributed to Kevin and Lourdes attention to detail. They have thought of everything and more that will make a stay at their cottage extra special. As you can tell, our stay at the cottage was the best!! We definitely want to return some day. We highly recommend the Island Gales Cottage!!

Wonderful weekend !
This was our second stay at Island Gales Cottage. Last October we were a group of five girls, this October three of us returned with our husbands. We enjoyed both the outdoor/indoor fireplaces and games. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms provided each couple with their own private space. Kevin and Lourdes take much pride in making their vacation rental a wonderful, clean and well equipped abode. This is a must stay island destination.

Wow!
What an incredible find! A great cottage for a getaway! Our group of women met at University (many years ago) and have been getting together annually for over 20 years. This is easily the nicest, best equipped cottage at which we have ever stayed. Kevin & Lourdes have thought of every thing one could possibly want or need & more. We were greeted with a lovely welcome basket of garden veges, a well stocked kitchen & pantry including coffee , tea, basic herbs, spices, etc. There were 7 very comfortable beds, plenty of towels, and extra blankets for cooler evenings & nights. Lots of comfortable seating, inside & out, perfect for chatting (& maybe a little wine). The only deficiency we could find…there was no rocking chair😉 😉!!!! This is a great place to stay….we will certainly consider more visits.

I think this is the nicest, cleanest place we’ve ever booked for a family vacation. The hosts went out of their way to make sure we had anything we could need! They even had a little welcome basket and tourist information waiting for our arrival. Would definitely recommend!

Perfect accommodation for our group!
This home is perfect for 3 couples and a couple of kids. It is very well appointed, lots of very thoughtful decorating touches, and easy to cook in (great appliances and ample cookware). The outdoor space, with propane fireplace or wood fire pit are delightful! The host was most accommodating and everything about this property is nothing shy of 5 star! Highly recommended.

This has been the best place we've ever stayed at. Plenty of room, clean, comfortable beds, great location, well-stocked with just about anything you'd need for your stay! We didn't need to bring/buy anything extra. Hosts were very quick to answer any messages. Kevin came over the evening we arrived and showed us around and answered any questions we had. Highly recommend!! We hope you stay here again in the future!! Thank you 😊
