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!

Cosy and quiet spit
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.

Excellent location, cabin is older, with an old cabin smell. Does not have AC, but maybe we missed that in the listing. Owners are very nice and helpful. Cabin has everything you need, except a Keurig :) , and was clean

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.

Everything was simply just perfect! So many things to do around and people from the area so warm and welcoming! The kitchen was complete and view astonishing! Lots of bugs at night but it didn't really matter since so many birds were happily singing their joy of living in such a rich healthy environment!

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.

Cozy, private ocean/beach front cottage with spectacular views is how it was described and is exactly what you get. We were three girls (4 for one night) and two dogs and while we enjoyed touring the area, we would have been just as happy to stay put the entire time and enjoy the outdoor deck, screened in porch and beach. Cathy was a lovely host and you will make a good decision to stay here.

Great Island Getaway!
Extremely clean and welcoming—well appointed with everything from beach towels to travel information. Host was very welcoming and responded immediately to any questions including arranging to pickup, cook and deliver lobsters when asked where to purchase them. Beautiful grounds with space for our French bulldogs to run and play. Great place to stay and explore the east end of PEI.

From start to finish it was a very easy pleasant experience and I highly recommend anybody wishing to escape to the country in PEI this checks all the boxes. Not only was the cottage idyllic and a home away from home but the owner is Very accommodating, caring and conscientious to one’s needs.... I would have to rate this 10+ for sure 😊

Great spot!
The cottage was exactly as described. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to be back sometime! The views from the cottage were stunning, you could see all the way across the water towards Souris. My 2.5 year old son enjoyed the large yard and outdoor toys provided. The hammock underneath the big apple tree was a nice touch and provided a relaxing area of shade. There is beach access from the property but you need to walk through tall grass. We appreciated the option to be able to walk to the beach but we didn’t end up going too often as it is quite the trek with kids.
