We liked our stay at the Guesthouse. The location was great (though the fish factory beside it is noisy and busy during the day), beach and playground were near. Be sure to bring eye mask for a peaceful night since the blinds are scarce. The jacuzzi was a great add-on to relax. We recommand for a short stay in IPE.

Stayed for two nights. VRBO is great but dishwasher doesn’t work, hand soap was low in bathrooms, hottub needs significant cleaning and there were insufficient number of towels for the amount of rooms. Otherwise, very quaint and nice

8.0 / 10.0
We were happy with the location of the house, it’s a lovely area and it was a good size for the 5 people who stayed. Lots of bathrooms and the beds were comfortable.we loved the big table so we could sit together and eat, play games, talk together.
The house was nice but there were a few issues:
-A/C only on the first floor, 2nd floor was a sauna
-you cannot open the windows to get a cross breeze on the 2nd floor as only 2 windows had screens (mosquitoes were plentiful)
-the hot tub was dirty, lots of sand and dirty foam
-many of the items in the cutlery drawer were sticky so we had to wash
-there were 3 forks and 4 spoons for 5 people, we asked for more but were never given more
-coffee maker did not work
-no check in information, we arrived at 4pm sharp and were not told how to get in until we contacted the property.
-only one set of keys for 5 people
-no soap in two bathrooms
-no shampoo in 2 bathrooms
-industrial dishwasher not operable
-no screens in most windows
-railings not installed on deck stairs (hazard)
-no glass or plexiglass in deck railings
-smoke detector not installed
-no escape from second floor
-no mirror in one bathroom
The second floor is only accessed from the spiral staircase, this is not easy with luggage! And many of the treads have loose screws and one was cracked
I would not recommend this spot in the heat of summer due to the AC situation, and I would not recommend for families as it is not child safe.

This property was everything we could have ever imagined for the five of us and a dog. The check in was easy, property manager was very responsive and the property was just as it displayed online. Walking into this property immediately gives the feel and excitement for vacation as the floors were like nothing we have seen before. While the weather did not cooperate there was plenty of room to gather and relax in the main area. Plenty of room for five adults. Very unique and comfortable stay. Will definitely book again.

We came to stay during winter for the Winter Games and it was all it promised to be and more. Great communication, beautiful home and close to the area we needed to be .
Highly recommended.

The layout of the guest house is beautiful. The flooring in the house is amazing. Lots of bathrooms which is always great! The stairwell was beautiful but difficult to get up and down.The location is great if you want to be close to a great trail that you could use to bike/walk into neighbouring areas. Terry was very speedy with his service and was always replying back in a timely fashion. However we did have some issues. The hot tub was never once at the temperature it was set to. When we got there it was at 68 and then didn’t warm up at all on the first night, we did Inform Terry and he came and looked at it but stated it was working. Then the next morning it was at 101 but quickly moved down to 95 when we were in the hot tub. We had to keep putting the cover on it with the jets on to get it to a good temperature but it was taking forever to warm up. It was at a steady 95-99 all weekend with some temps of 101 but that was after hours of us going and turning the jets back on (because they would time out) and not using the hot tub which was also very annoying because we went to this space with the idea of a relaxing fall weekend. We wanted the space to have everything we needed to lounge. So that was very disappointing and brings my overall score down. I was in contact with Terry but it didn’t appear the issue was ever resolved. This is the main reason for my overall rating, had this not been an issue I probably would give this stay a 4/5
The blinds!! They are awful. At night everyone can see directly into your room and they can see everything. And it can be a pretty busy place right there!
This space really needs some better seating in the living room to be able to actually comfortably accommodate 8 people.
Overall, this is best suited for three couples.

Overall we had a good stay but there is definitely room for improvement. Firstly, communication with the property manager was excellent, both before and during our visit. For ex, when the coffee maker died, it was replaced right away. The house is nicely decorated and each bedroom has an ensuite (with enough towels; there are even towels for the hot tub, which was nice and clean) but more attention was paid to form than function. To be clear, it has 3 bedrooms and can comfortably sleep 6 people. There is a pull-out couch in the living room that can sleep 2 more small people (but then you can't use that area; though it doesn't seat 8 anyway). But if you are staying for while, no one wants to spend a week on a pull-out in the living room with no privacy, which is what happened to 2 of our kids. There was also no bedding for it so we took top sheets off other beds and used blankets we had in our cars (needed because the the couch is under the air conditioner, which only cools the main level). It was hot upstairs, which wouldn't be a big problem except that you can't open half of the windows because there are no screens. Also, the blinds suit the decor but they are not functional at keeping out light, nor preventing people outside from seeing you changing/showering. It's a busy area with the mussel farm and the restaurant across the street (it's like being in a fish bowl no matter where you are, inside or out). We had to hang clothing and towels in the windows for privacy or just do everything with the lights off after sunset. RE: the kitchen, there is a leaky commercial dishwasher but it didn't have soap, and not enough drinking glasses, cutlery, or tea towels. And we won't miss the narrow spiral staircase (we'd love to know how the furniture got upstairs). Note that there is a washer and dryer in the basement. FYI, the coffee maker makes a pot or it uses keurig pods. There is also a nespresso machine. Other than screens, bedding for the pull-out and blinds/curtains, the host could consider a second set of keys (we were 2 families and we weren't always together) and a deck box for the patio furniture cushions. All of that said, overall we had a good week and "made do" where things were less than ideal. We mostly just used the house as a base anyway as we were travelling all over PEI. In Georgetown, definitely pay a visit to Shoreline Designs for jewellery (Peter is a gem!), and eat at the Wheelhouse (the vegan dish is DIVINE).

Great place for our family to meet and sightsee PEI
The house was a great alternative to getting separate rooms at a hotel. We were 3 couples within an extended family coming from different provinces so it was great to have the space to share and visit. The kitchen could have been a little more equipped with essentials and the blinds need to be improved for privacy and light. We were able to take advantage of the hot tub one of the nights which was so nice. The restaurant and walking path across the street was very convenient and the food very good. There were a few downfalls to the house like the very narrow windy staircase that was difficult to go up and down to the bedrooms especially with baggage. Also the smell from outside with the fish plant across the street was very strong outside all the time. Overall nice, clean, modern looking inside and the floor was very unique. I would recommend.
