About this cottage rental
Tourism license number: 2300273
During Peak-Season Starboard rents Fri-Fri mostly in high season.
Starboard cottage rests 75 feet from a very large clean deep red and white sandy beach. The cottage faces the Northumberland Strait on the southernmost tip of PEI with the warmest waters and calmest seas on the Island. We have 3 cottages spread over 20 acres and a completely private lane. If you love the beach, you will be right at home here. There is a big change in the tide every day. At high tide you can swim or walk along the shore and search for sea glass and other treasures. When the tide is low you can also swim, and take advantage of all the sea life on the sandbars and tide-pools. Walk for miles on the bare sandbars at low tide or dig some bar clams. There are plenty of chaise loungers, small wooden tables, and umbrellas on the beach to catch some shade on hot afternoons.
Starboard is a 2 bedroom cottage with cathedral ceilings in the open concept kitchen/living/dining rooms. One bedroom has a queen-size bed, and the second bedroom has a single over double bunk-bed. We have a single blow-up mattress for any extra guests. Enjoy a view of the Wood Islands lighthouse from all points of the south side of the cottage. We have a 3.5 star Canada Select Rating.
We are 1 km from Plough Through The Waves visitor information center with a liquor outlet and shops. Service stations, banking institutions, and grocery stores are located in Montague, a 15 minute drive North. Two golf courses are within 15 minutes. Theres a trail system that starts here too.

We had a wonderful visit to P.E.I. Not too far from the airport and easy to get around to all sightseeing spots. Truly beautiful view and quiet relaxing stay. Only good things to say about this rental and friendly host.

The property owner Darryl was exceptionally prompt in responding to all inquiries and assisting with our cottage experience. He's extremely accommodating without being in your space. The property was great for our family with a huge private beachfront, shared with a couple other separate cottage renters, and access to Kayaks, beach umbrellas, chairs etc. Also some pretty substantial grass areas for the kids to play soccer and run around. We had a private fire pit near our cottage at the edge of the ocean / beach front. Plenty of space for each family, with enough distance between cottages to feel private. This area of the island is not a tourist trap. All experiences within 30 minute drive are authentic. We did drive to other tourist destinations, North Rustico, Cavendish, Greenwich, which was anywhere from 40mins to 1hr. Overall we had a great experience at Homeport, and would highly recommend for other families.

We had a lovely time relaxing in the peace and quiet of the house and beach. We loved walking the sand during low tide and finding shells and playing with the razor clams. The location was perfect for visiting the Green Gables portions of the island, one if the msin reasons we came. All in all, a great place and lovely vacation! Thank you, and we hope to come back again!

Excellent house, right on the beach, in an outstanding location in Wood Islands, PEI. My family loved exploring the beach at low tide, and the water was warm in late August. Big kitchen, fire pit, washer dryer, internet, excellent amenities overall. Location is close to Charlottetown and other spots we visited on the island. A fabulous week spent on PEI!

Our family enjoyed our stay at Starboard cottage. We really liked being so close to the water, waking up each morning to the sounds of the surf and the kids loved walking out when the tide was low, checking out the sea life and birds. Saw some beautiful birds and even a seal out in the distance! 20-30 minutes drive to area communities and to explore lighthouses... Proximity to the ferry to NS can't be beat. It was a little buggy but probably just the time of year. Cottage was clean and comfortable, and Darryl offered advice for things to do whenever we asked. A happy stay!

Anyone looking for a place to stay on PEI for their vacation should look no further than these cottages at Wood Island.
The cottage itself is ideally located only a few meters from the beach. Look out from the deck at the rising/receding tides and the Wood Island ferries is a charming feature. The cottage is exceptionally well equipped with all the necessities and more to make your stay comfortable and hassle-free. Patio furniture, a fire-pit, beach furniture, a shed with firewood and even a hose hung to rinse the sand from your feet.
Your host is Darryl and was very welcoming upon arrival. Darryl was very friendly and attentive to anything we needed. Although the place is so well maintained and equipped that you probably won’t need to contact him!
Although the cottage is located on the southeast corner of the island there is still plenty of things to do in the area and only 45 minutes to Charlottetown (should you grow tired of the quiet and serenity of the beach).
We would be happy to stay here again the next time we visit PEI!

Darryl is a friendly and attentive host. The cottage was very clean and in excellent condition. The location can't be beat. The cottage is 100' from the beach and there is a clear view of the Northumberland Strait from the cottage deck. On our first day we were greeted by a Bald Eagle sitting in a tree just down the shore, and we saw eagles almost every day. There were frequent seal sightings and lots of shore birds.

This place is heaven. Low tide is a great time to explore the ocean floor. The cottage is big and extremely clean. It has everything you will need! The deck is large and has lots of seating. If you are lucky Chase the dog will come for a visit. You can ask the owner Darryl for anything and he is happy to help. He brought us some Mackerel and showed our son how to gut it. He will also help you with lobster and clams right off the sand bars!!!
