Cavendish vacation
Really the best property our family has stayed in - set up thoughtfully with everything you need, great location. We had so much fun exploring the island and this was a perfect home base. Kevin greeted us on arrival and was very responsive. Really nice extra touches like wood for the fire pit, a welcome basket, kitchen was stocked with coffee, tea, basics for cooking. Anyone coming to PEI really should stay here!

Perfect accommodation for our group!
This home is perfect for 3 couples and a couple of kids. It is very well appointed, lots of very thoughtful decorating touches, and easy to cook in (great appliances and ample cookware). The outdoor space, with propane fireplace or wood fire pit are delightful! The host was most accommodating and everything about this property is nothing shy of 5 star! Highly recommended.

A ski trip to remember!
Kevin and Lourdes’s warm welcome and very special home made our PEI ski trip extra special. Such a lovely location! The interior is not only beautifully appointed, it’s well designed for very comfortable living. The exterior offers lots of space to sit, relax, and play. The beds and furniture were not only lovely to look at, they were very comfortable. Everything one could possible need was available. Thanks so much for making this such a memorable ski vacation!

Family getaway
My cousin and my brother and his wife came to explore PEI because our grandmother was born and we visited cemeteries that held our relations . The cottage was the perfect gathering place and the gardens and beautiful features of the house made it very comfortable and attractive . The surrounding area was great to explore . A perfect trip for our family and we hope to return with friends to share the experience . Lourdes and Kevin are exceptional hosts and went above and beyond to make us happy .

Wonderful weekend !
This was our second stay at Island Gales Cottage. Last October we were a group of five girls, this October three of us returned with our husbands. We enjoyed both the outdoor/indoor fireplaces and games. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms provided each couple with their own private space. Kevin and Lourdes take much pride in making their vacation rental a wonderful, clean and well equipped abode. This is a must stay island destination.

Excellent Cottage for our 8 Sisters to Reconnect
This cottage was perfect for our family get together. The cottage was immaculate, well decorated, and had plenty of room for 8 of us. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we could possibly want or need. We highly recommend this property to anyone who wants a get away. The O'Leary's were available for anything we needed and gave us a tour of the place when we arrived, Wonderful people to rent from.. FIVE STARS ARE NOT ENOUGH FOR THIS PLACE!

AWESOME!
This place is so EVERYTHING! The owners live next door, are incredibly friendly, helpful and responsive. The entire place is beautifully decorated, very cozy and comfortable, has everything you could possibly need, and is just so relaxing. We were there off-season (intentionally avoiding the Cavendish chaos of summer) so really enjoyed watching movies, cooking, board games and snoozing. The weather wasn't great but had it been, there are so many amenities and places outside to sit, relax, eat or play. This was incredibly good value.

Stay Here!
The location was lovely. Very close to Brackley Beach, New London, Rustico. Very private. Hosts live next door and were very helpful but only if we needed them. Their property was lovely. We enjoyed their outdoor sitting areas and the home was very well maintained. Lots of space to relax and enjoy one another's company. Highly recommend this property for adult getaway or families with children. Lots of amenities close by.

Amazing VRBO Cottage in Cavendish
There were 7 of us stayed at this beautiful cottage in Cavendish to celebrate our 30th reunion and it couldn’t have been any better! The cottage had everything we needed and more including 2 beautiful sitting areas, comfortable beds, a fire pit, electric fireplace and was stocked with plenty of towels and amenities. Lourdes and Kevin are amazing landlords and were there to accommodate us whenever we needed anything. We are spreading the word about this beautiful cottage and location and hope to be back again soon. 🙏💕

Our stay at the Island Gales Cottage was perfect!! Kevin and Lourdes are exceptional, thoughtful hosts, and their generous hospitality and warm welcome were much appreciated. Kevin’s orientation to the property upon our arrival was very helpful. The cottage and surrounding property are beautiful and in a quiet, relaxing setting. All of the amenities are excellent, which can be attributed to Kevin and Lourdes attention to detail. They have thought of everything and more that will make a stay at their cottage extra special.

Wow!
What an incredible find! A great cottage for a getaway! Our group of women met at University (many years ago) and have been getting together annually for over 20 years. This is easily the nicest, best equipped cottage at which we have ever stayed. Kevin & Lourdes have thought of every thing one could possibly want or need & more. We were greeted with a lovely welcome basket of garden veges, a well stocked kitchen & pantry including coffee , tea, basic herbs, spices, etc. There were 7 very comfortable beds, plenty of towels, and extra blankets for cooler evenings & nights. Lots of comfortable seating, inside & out, perfect for chatting (& maybe a little wine). The only deficiency we could find…there was no rocking chair😉 😉!!!! This is a great place to stay….we will certainly consider more visits.
