Excellent stay...nicely equiped property. Highly recommended. Lovely views!
5.0 / 5.0
The property is located within the perfect location of PEI. All the amenities you can think of for your stay was well provided. All necessary beach supplies were made available. The hot tub was great. If you're a cyclist like some of us, Brackley Beach is the perfect spot to cycle and explore. The host was great and quick to respond when needed. I highly recommend this location for your stay in PEI.

The Dunes Drift was a total gem. The location was central, in a very nice little neighbourhood and right on the water. The views were incredible. We loved sitting out first thing in the morning, and in the evenings while the sun set. It was so peaceful and quiet. Even though you can see the neighbours, it felt secluded. The grounds around the cottage were very well maintained and there was a nice hot tub and kayak to use. Inside the cottage was extremely clean and very nicely decorated. I have never stayed at a rental with such a well stocked kitchen. It had everything we needed, and more. The bedrooms were all a good size and it was really nice to have 2 bathrooms. We will most definitely be back again!

We had a great time staying here. The house was exactly as pictured and the view was great. The home had everything we needed and even a welcome basket which was so nice. We were a group of 3 couples and there was enough seating and dishes for all. Loved our stay and will be back

My cousin and I stayed three nights. The water view is outstanding. The house had everything we needed, and it was very clean. Host Sheila was always quick to respond via text, including restaurant recommendations. PEI is small enough that the location was the perfect base for days trips across the island. I would definitely stay here again.

The photos of this property do not do it justice, they look nice but it is far better in reality. Provides everything you need and well located, we had a great stay despite the weather.

My wife and I stayed with a few friends, beautiful view of the water from dining room, living room and hot tub. Conveniently located being only a 10 minute drive from national park and 20 minutes from Charlottetown.

Loved the open concept, cleanliness, hot tub and view of the bay. They have everything organized extremely well and we couldn’t think of anything that was missed. The house is in a quiet, well kept small community that is central to the whole island and a quick drive to Charlottetown.

We had a wonderful week enjoying your beautiful cottage with all the conveniences of home. Great location for so many reasons; quick trip into Charlottetown, beaches, golf, local shops, restaurants and in our case visiting with friends close by. Highly recommend!

A perfect spot for a family getaway! We loved our week on Brackley Bay - the well-appointed house made it so easy to just relax. We had plenty of space, and appreciated the kayak, life jackets, sand toys, etc. Being right at the waterfront was a real treat, and we enjoyed the hot tub every night while looking at the stars. Highly recommend this property!

Property was excellent. Mike and Sheila know how to do it right. Everything we need was provided at the house. Thanks again for an excellent stay (we lucked out with the weather - not always the case).

My family had a great time in Brackley Beach. The view is beautiful from this property with large windows to enjoy it! The beach is within 5 minutes and is not very busy. Great soft sand and surprisingly warm water.
We also did all the Anne of Green Gables sites from here. Everything we wanted to do was within a half hour.
We would love to stay here again.

Our stay was great. The host responded to emails quickly and check in process was easy. The pictures did not do the house justice- such a nice view and was easy to access the areas of PEI we wanted to see. Welcoming touches and a fully stocked house were much appreciated. The parks pass was a nice bonus and we used it most days. I wish I could have stayed a week longer!

We had an amazing time staying at Dunes Drift. Everything was perfect: lots of comfy and beautifully finished spaces to spread out and enjoy the sunsets over Brackley Bay and the kitchen was fully stocked with all we needed to cook our meals!

A great rental unit with all the premium extras that make a visit go from good to great. The location is a close drive to amenities and attractions. Just a beautiful spot and great facilities - was our friends first time to PEI and they fell in love with it. Would definitely book again for a future getaway.

Was really impressed with the stay as the pictures don't do the property justice.
Every evening we would sit in the hot tub and get a free show as a bald eagle would fly back and forth ( assuming there was a nest nearby)
A cute touch was the small rubber duckies that were in each bathroom that we let have a swim in the hottub...🙂
The place was not lacking in any amenities and it made the feeling of being away from home a lot easier.
Would highly recommend

We loved our time at the waterfront cottage! It was absolutely beautiful! Very clean and had the most beautiful waterfront view! 10/10 recommend this property!

We were so thrilled with this cottage! It was bigger than we expected and the pictures did not do it justice. It has a full kitchen and everything was very clean. The neighbours weren’t too close so it felt very private.

If it was possible to rate this a 6+, we woud do so. Spotlessly clean, cofortable beds, lots of amenities. Hosts provided guidebooks, snacks, drinks, made us feel welcome. Property is convenient to the beach, Charlottetown, and easy driving to a number of activities. When the hosts discovered I left my camera, they notified me right away and went out of their way to have it shipped to our next location.

This place has it all....close to airport, on the water, spotlessly clean, and near many of the prime beaches. The hot tub was a bonus addition at the end of a long day. Great host. Great place. Would definitely recommend!

Property was more than we could have hoped for most well supplied property I have ever rented already thinking about next year

We had a fantastic stay. The house was 3 minutes from the beach and centrally located to everything else we wanted to do. Very well equipped and the photos are accurate. The house and view are actually better than the photos show. We can't wait to go back next year and stay longer!

Had a lovely week in August here, the house is beautiful and has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. Air conditioning works well and there were fans in the bedrooms. I was here with little kids and having beach towels and beach toys at the rental was really helpful. The owner was pleasant and responded to my questions very promptly. Easy check in and check out. You can't get closer to Brackley Beach, and they provide you with a pass to go for free. Highly recommend.

We stayed for a week at the cottage and wish we could have stayed longer. The cottage was immaculately clean and very well appointed...right down to the lobster pot, crackers, picks and bibs! Sheila was very responsive to all of my inquiries, before check-in, during our stay, and after check-out. The very generous hosts provided a welcome basket with snacks, sodas, guest book and even a vehicle GPS system loaded with their favorite spots. They have thought of everything to make your stay as pleasant as possible. The cottage itself is very comfortable and offers stunning views of the bay and the dunes in the distance. PEI is spectacularly beautiful and we cannot wait for our next visit.

Perfectly located for beach days, and has everything you may need for your stay. Sheila was a wonderful host and communication was great. Will definitely be looking into a repeat rental next time we're on the island!

Wonderful Vacation
We had a wonderful time! It is probably the most private lot in that area. We enjoyed the hot tub, BBQ, kayak - so many fun extras. The pictures don’t do the house justice. It was VERY clean and the view was beautiful. Perfectly situated in the middle of Cavendish and Charlottetown. Highly recommend!!

Vacation life at its best!!
When we first arrived, we knew we wanted more time at this amazing location. Sadly we couldn’t extend our stay because the house was already booked!!😢. There was lots to do on PEI. The golfing was good too!! If the good Lord is willing, I’d love to return for another stay!!

Fall PEI Golf Trip
We were four from Ottawa playing 8 rounds of golf over 10 days in Sept. 2021. The cottage from Sheila and Mike was excellent and they were great hosts. We cooked a few meals in the cottage and its kitchen was well appointed. The beds are comfy and we all slept great. The views over the bay are nice and we enjoyed star watching while relaxing in the hot tub.
Some notables from our stay were:
- diner at the Dunes Cafe within walking distance ... best meal of our month long east coast trip and quite an interesting place as well
- all 8 golf courses that we played were excellent. I especially liked the four nearby (Glasgow Hills, Eagles Glen, Green Gables and Anderson Creek).
- went to a Ceilidh in Stanley Bridge. It was my first Ceilidh and it was a great time. It was nice to hear some local music.

Beautiful Cottage - Great PEI location
This is a well maintained and clean cottage with a wonderful water view looking towards Brackley Beach (a State Park with a lighthouse). We enjoyed relaxing in the cottage watching the water and birds and exploring the shoreline.
This property is in a central location in PEI which allowed us to explore points of interest on the North Cape Costal Drive / the Central Coastal Drive / and East Coastal Drive. What a beautiful island!
