Piece of Paradise!

This rental was everything we hoped for and more. Quiet, private with superb views. Beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. The cottage also has an attached screened in porch with a table and chairs as well as patio furniture for when the bugs are out. The hosts are wonderful, responsive and went out of their way to help us with anything and everything we needed to make our stay unforgettable.

Star Award near Souris

This property exceeded my wife and my expectations! We simply could not have been more relaxed if we had been at home. Red door was like home. I loved going out when the tide was out, great experience. Short ride to town. Neighbour very helpful and friendly. We would return every year if we lived closer, just fantastic !! Dave

East coast slice of heaven

The cottage was so cute and cosy. Had everything we needed for our stay. Can’t say enough about low tide and those wonderful sand bars. Our dog love running around out there. Fans were much appreciated in this crazy hot weather and we loved the screened in porch. Basin Sands beach is a must visit and Souris has all your shopping/restaurant needs. Thanks so much for a wonderful time.

Special Place

The house is perfect for a summer vacation. The kitchen is well appointed, the dish clothes are crisp, and she even left us coffee for our first morning. The screened-in porch is wonderful as is the deck. Beds were comfortable, linens lovely, and the shower had good water pressure. And the location -- so quiet, with the beach right there. My 5 stars are all legitimate!

Idle by the bay is perfect for idling

My dog and I spent the week doing day trips, but she really preferred staying here and playing and beaching and there was no real need to leave. The ocean, the view, the sunrise, the great blue herons, the osprey, the Eagles, the singing birds.....I will be back next year!

As described. If a cottage is what you’re looking for then you will find it here. Cathy and Dave are wonderful owners. Very helpful. Hurricane Lee came through during our stay. Cathy made sure we had extra water and preparations in case we lost power. Luckily it didn’t happen but we’re grateful for their assistance. We hope to visit again soon.

Family vacay

The cottage was awesome, clean, well equipped with anything and everything you would need. I rented this place because of the quietness and large property for my 3 year old grandson to run around without a care. However, due to the mosquitoes being so bad even during the day this was not even an option for him….other than that the stay was very relaxing and enjoyable and your screened in sunporch was a well appreciated. This is a beautiful location and an incredible cottage, thank you Cathy for everything

perfect for us

This is a beautiful spot to stay with a gorgeous view. Just a few minutes to Souris if you needed to grab anything in town (lobster rolls at The Lobster Shack in Souris were so good). It was nice to have the screened in porch as an alternative spot to hang out. We had everything we needed. It was a short walk to the beach and there were lots of birds to watch. I have to say, it was the quietest spot we have ever stayed, which was perfect. The neighbouring cottages are at well spaced distances. I would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful idle by the bay

It is EXACTLY as portrayed in the listing. Beautiful, quiet bay off the front porch. We had breakfast out there and watched the fog lift (and then come back. Lol. And then lift again) every day. When the tide is out, you can walk along Fortune Bay and collect shells and sea glass. We saw blue herons every day and as we were leaving, some seals or maybe porpoise came to say bye. The cottage is spotlessly clean and has everything you could need. Very comfortable beds and soft bedding and towels etc. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans, even measuring cups if you feel like baking something. But why would you when there are excellent bakeries on PEI. We had a lot of rain, so we would sit in the screened in side porch and we could still enjoy the view of the bay. A great place to explore the east end of the island. Little harbour Beach and Basin Beach have soft white sand with red cliffs. Looks exactly like the travel brochures. A bit of a drive to Cavendish Beach and North Rustico, but it gives you a chance to enjoy the rolling hills and to see the interior farms of the island. The town of Souris is small but has everything you need: grocery store, bank, interesting shops, pretty harbour and lighthouse. It is a wonderful spot away from the noise and crowds of the larger, more touristy areas. Cathy provided suggestions on local sites and restaurants etc. We are already talking about when we are going back. Thank you for sharing this wonderful spot with us.

Great place for families with Kids and dogs

The location was very nice. The view excellent. The beds were comfortable and the cottage well equipped. My only recommendation would be that it is not suitable for older people or people with walking problems. Access to the beach is difficult for any one with mobility issues. The stairs at the front of the building should be replaced or removed as they are difficult to navigate. The cottage however is aptly named " Idle at the Bay" because it does make you want to just sit with a beverage of your choice and a good book.

Stunning view from the porch. Very quiet and secluded cabin with dark night skies and spectacular sunrises. In warmer weather we would have walked/waded to the beautiful secluded beach every day. As it was cool, we drove. Only 20 minutes to stores in Souris.
