Darlene and Wade have one of the best cottages for privacy with more amenities to allow for a restful and active location. Each day you are greeted by birds and other local wildlife while sipping coffee or tea. The cottage is large with a sitting area on both levels. Amenities with cottage include baskets of toiletries, telephones, plenty of towels, great appliances (most are almost brand new and work well), easy to use grill and lots of room with comfortable furniture. Deck allows for easily grilled meals and screen porch is just a bonus. The view is great offering both beautiful sunrises and impressive sunsets. The area is quiet and peaceful with an outdoor fire pit (great for s'mores, hot dogs, fish and the like) along with another bench sitting area. Plenty of room for little ones to explore and play. We traveled one day to Montague/Georgetown area and met with friends. Another day we traveled to the Souris and Basinhead beach (including the fisheries museum). We also traveled to see the horses in the ocean at Tignish, the Potato Museum in O'Leary (be sure to eat here as the lobster stuffed potato, chili fries, grilled cheese, French fries and other items are great luncheon fare). Had a day with the Anne of Green Gables, Cavendish and Brackley Beach area. Did not have time for the Brackley Beach drive-in but this is something for us to do another trip. Don't miss eating at Breakwater in Souris (either lunch or dinner) as this is great gourmet food with reasonable prices. While in Charlottetown, we stopped to have lunch twice at a new place called the "Chip Shack" and this is definitely great for poutine, lobster rolls, fish/chips, apple chips (great dessert!) and the beloved PEI French fries. Returning from all of our travels to the cottage was like living a dream vacation. The convenience of traveling only about 15 minutes to Charlottetown and 5 minutes to North Rustico for essentials just adds to the benefit of the location. There is a small bakery in North Rustico (small yellow building) has the best bread, rolls and sweets - across from Fisherman's Wharf. Can't recommend Fisherman's Wharf as our meal there before was really poor but New Glasgow is a better choice for "lobster supper". Both restaurants are pricey but lots of new eateries are now located in Avalon Village (Cavendish) about 7-8 minutes away. Thank you Darlene and Wade for the great cottage and your welcome to us while staying at Blue Heron Cottage.
