About this cottage rental

With Sandcastles Beach House a mere three minute walk along the path to the finest beach on the island and our beach's sandy, broad expanse and gentle slope it is perfect for relaxing and unwinding. You can walk for hours and never run out of beach. From your deck you can take in our spectacular dunes and you'll see the surf conditions so you'll know if it's a smooth swimming or a boogie board kind of day. In addition, we are in the enviable position of being the only rental having MacKay Pond border its lawn so you'll see eagles, herons, osprey and cormorants all day and end it all with blazing sunsets dancing off our waters. No neighbors separate you from your view of the dunes. Staying at Sandcastles is like having a series of natural works of art offered up to you all day long.

Sandcastles Beach House is a beautifully finished pine beach house with two independent units: Meadowside and Duneside. Each unit has two bedrooms, a full bath, washer & dryer and a fully-equipped kitchen, including dishwasher.

Sandcastles easily fills the needs of everyone from individual couples to groups of up to 14 celebrating reunions of families or groups of friends. We can customize in this way because we have two units which are adjoining and yet fully private and self-contained. So you can rent just one side and soak up all the beauty our location offers. Or, if you are with a larger group you can rent both sides, sharing meals and good times when you choose and yet still have the freedom to enjoy the privacy of dining and relaxing in your own unit. If you wish to book Meadowside, please do so here. If you wish to book both Meadowside and Duneside, please book Meadowside here and Duneside on our other listing: "Sandcastles Beach House - Duneside: Special Springtime Offer!" (also found under Darnley, PEI).

We supply all modern conveniences including Wi-fi, a 55" 4K UHD Smart TV with Chromecast and satelitte, and we have a convenient, fully private outdoor shower. Sandcastles Beach House is minutes from 8 golf courses, deep-sea fishing, fine dining and galleries. You'll be pleasantly surprised with our prices. Our rates are in Canadian dollars and include taxes. We do not charge extra for additional guests (up to 7 per side). So....be sure to check the final cost of other sites when comparing. Our guests tell us that Sandcastles is "enchanting" and our location is "breathtaking". We hope that you'll visit Sandcastles Beach House and create memories that will last a lifetime.

close to the beach

close to the beach

My mom and I stayed 3 nights in September 2019. We enjoyed being so close to the beach. There were people in the other half of this rental. The walls are very thin and we could hear their conversations and the TV. It would be a great place to stay if both halves of the rental were on a holiday together (eg. a family reunion) but a lack of insulation between each unit was an issue.

Exceeded our expectations

Exceeded our expectations

We arrived at Sandcastles on the recommendation of a good friend who had stayed there before. Right from the first evening, we were hooked. A very short walk to one of the most beautiful beaches I have eve seen, and the sunsets there were just out of this world. The next morning, I saw a bald eagle visiting the tidal pond as I sat on the porch with my coffee. We had a great time on PEI with activities such as the potato museum (fun and great food!), bicycling, deep sea fishing, and a lot of great food. The house itself is well run, and has everything one needs including beach towels, and even two older bikes. We heard our neighbors through the wall a little bit at night, but the kids slept well, they must have been tuckered out. As I had to work, I was glad for the wifi which worked flawlessly even through videoconferencing. I was a little concerned about the temperatures getting cooler in the end of August, and some of the days were cool, but the water temperatures were so pleasant in the ocean, the kids had a blast playing in the waves. Brian and Jane checked in with us during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. We look forward to going back to PEI and when we do, we'll definitely book Sandcastles again.

Great bird watching, Beautiful beach!

Great bird watching, Beautiful beach!

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in Darnley on the edge of a salt marsh w immediate access to a beautiful beach. Despite heat, the house cooled off with great ventilation and beach breezes. We watched cormorants holding out their wings to dry and a beautiful egret. Our neighbors were very nice, friendly and respectful of privacy. They even had a sweet dog who got along great with ours. There was an issue w loss of hot water after an area power loss that Brian took care of immediately. He was great at staying in touch and making sure everything went well. We definitely would return, and would also consider renting both sides.

Wonderful location and well equipped

The cottage was as advertised. I had not realized it was a duplex - missed that somehow- but it all worked out really well. The location was fantastic, just a short hop over the dune and you are on the beach. Host was quick to respond and made some great recommendations including the Anne and Gilbert production in Charlottetown. We felt very rested and relaxed after a few days there.

I chose Meadowside for a 4-day get-away in late September/early October. This cottage is cozy and comfortable and has fabulous views of the dunes with the ocean beyond. The beach is second to none. Overall a great trip and a very pleasant time of year to be in PEI.

Beautiful Cottage by the beach

Beautiful Cottage by the beach

The cottage was extremely clean and welcoming. It was just a short walk over the dunes to the beach which to me represented what I wanted to see of PEI. There was a lovely wrap around porch which offered a lovely view of the sunset. Full amenities included WiFi and TV, Dishwasher and laundry and lots of towels for our use. The week we were there, it was very warm and nights without a/c was not as comfortable as we had to leave the windows and doors open. However, it was very windy with a good breeze at all times. We golfed in the area and enjoyed Red Sands (a local 9 hole course) the best. From our perspective, it was not worth the drive to Crowbush. We had our dog with us and he loved the freedom of the side yard and was very comfortable in the house. I would highly recommend the location and this cottage. Thanks Brian.

perfect family getaway

perfect family getaway

Delighted to stay at Meadowside with our three teen/tween kids. The location was perfect - sunset and water views (including a hunting bald eagle!) right off the deck, a few minutes' walk to a beautiful uncrowded beach (go explore the sandstone formations!), easy driving to most of the popular sightseeing on the island. The cottage was well stocked for our needs and very clean with comfortable sleeping. Owner was very responsive. We'd return in a heartbeat!

Loved every minute of our stay!

The cottage was charming and had everything we needed. We loved the peace and beauty of Prince Edward Island and the absolutely stunning beaches. Also, this cottage is ideally situated in one of the most scenic parts of PEI, the middle section on the north coast. We were a three-minute walk from the beach and a close walk to some stunning rock formations. We've never seen such clear ocean water. You are even allowed to have a fire on the beach at night. From our cottage, we saw a bald eagle and even spotted a den of foxes. And it was never crowded. We are looking forward to coming back one day.

Wonderful cottage within walking distance of one of best beaches on PEI!

Wonderful cottage within walking distance of one of best beaches on PEI!

Sandcastles Beach House-Meadowside is a treasure! It's centrally located on the beautiful northern shore of Prince Edward Island. The setting is amazing with a pond filled with bird life right off the deck and then over a short dune walk, you find Thunder Cove Beach, one of the prettiest beaches on the island. The owners are wonderful. They are very accommodating, easy to work with, and anything you could need is provided. We rented both Duneside and Meadowside to have more space to spread out which is a really nice option. Renting both sides would be great for larger families, family reunions, or just to have more space. Just be aware that the cottages don't have an adjoining door inside. But each cottage is very spacious with a wonderful view. Very reasonably priced as well! Highly recommend!! We had a wonderful time here!

Comfortable accommodations with easy access to the beach in a quiet, relaxing setting.

My daughter and I came to Prince Edward Island to experience the natural beauty of the island and to visit the area that Lucy Maude Montgomery wrote about. Sandcastles beach house was very comfortable with all of the amenities of home. This cottage has views of the ocean from the upstairs balcony with views of the pond and wildlife from the living room and deck. Very relaxing. The beach is steps away from the cottage. Our host Brian was very helpful and welcoming, as well as responsive to any questions we had. I would definitely stay at Sandcastles again when I return to Prince Edward Island.

We loved Sandcastles. The proximity to the beach the beautiful views were exactly what we were looking for. As a lover of Oysters being close to Malpeque Bay was super exciting. The tea cup just down the beach was amazing. Kitchen was well equipped. Brian was very helpful with any questions we had. We plan on coming back in the years to come and bringing friends.
