What differentiates the PEI oyster is a clean, salty taste that finishes sweet – a combo unique to the Gulf of Saint Lawrence – and it becomes arguably even more succulent when the temperature drops. That's because as the ocean cools, the oyster's adductor muscle, which holds the shell together, grows stronger, adding a little bit of sweetness to the taste.

The oyster is also at its plumpest right when the cold weather hits, having filtered up to 189 litres of water a day while feeding on plankton until the waters drops to four degrees Celsius. Over the winter, the oyster lies dormant until spring.

"The only down side was the beds were very hard and the hide a bed wasnt able to be slept on due to condition. Otherwise the property was very nice and clean. The kitchen had everything you would need and deck was wonderful to sit on while using the provided BBQ. Management was very friendly and check in was a breeze. "

"This property was perfect for our family of five. The view is beautiful, house is clean and well equiped and gave us the perfect chance to relax. The location is ideal to see the Anne of Green Gables sites (underrated--the Cavendish Post office has a free Anne museum :) ). Honestly can't recommend this place enough. "
