Thank you Cathy and Leslie for another lovely vacation in North Rustico. Lots of walks on the boardwalk, fresh fish every day from the fish market, and pastries galore from the bakery. Also thanks for ALL your help with our check out.

Total Relaxation!
Everything just clicked. Fabulous location and the house has everything you need for a relaxing holiday - the photos don't do it justice. Location is great, a short walk to shops & restaurants. Comms with the owner was easy - would thoroughly recommend.

The most wonderful view!
My sister and I loved every second of our stay at this lovely cottage. We ate our meals out on the deck watching the boats in the harbour and the peaceful water view. The cottage is central to everything we wanted to do and it was lovely to stroll down into the town to the bakery and grocery store. Such a lovely spot! Cannot wait to return next year!

PEI vacation
Great location across street from boardwalk and view of No Rustico Harbor,great for walks and exploring including town and direct access to beach area.Cottage very comfortable with a coastal theme. The only issue we had was with slightly malfunctioning plumbing,including toilet,shower and kitchen sink.Owner responded but issues weren’t completely resolved but they are very nice and would certainly rent from them again!

Lovely!
The cottage has a lovely outlook over the harbour, and is a short walking distance along the boardwalk to all the local restaurants (and the theatre, beach etc.). The hosts are very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. We hope to go back, which says it all, really.

The best holiday
The house had a perfect view of the bay where the lobster boats came and went. This is a house not a cottage, which was so clean with plank flooring, lots of seating in the living room, full kitchen, lovely dining area, one bedroom with a King bed, the other had two twins. There was a washer and dryer in the basement. The back deck was wider than the home and has a gas bbq. The back lawn is extensive and has a fire pit. If you are considering staying here, you will not be disappointed

Perfect way to discover and get a good feel of PEI
We loved our stay in North Rustico. The house is a short drive to Cavendish, PEI National Park and only 30 minutes to Charletown. The boardwalk in front of the house is awesome. The boardwalk takes you to the Wharf, restaurants, the beach and more. The house is in a perfect location for a true PEI experience. From eating mussels/lobster to deep sea fishing. The house was perfect for our little family and well equipped with everything needed. Our host was awesome. Thank you again. You made our first experience in PEI a memorable one.

Canceled due to Mother Nature-
So disappointed that due to the extensive damage to PEI by Hurricane Fiona we were unable to make it to Cathy's lovely property in North Rustico. Was glad to hear from Cathy that they suffered no damage and hopefully all of PEI will recover in the near future. Cathy communicated regularly during this difficult time and was very responsive to our concerns. When it became apparent access to the island was limited, she didn't hesitate to issue a refund for our stay. Our hearts go out to all on Prince Edward Island. Please note, I was unable to submit my review unless I indicated ratings - obviously since I never stayed, my ratings are based solely on the listing information.

Lovely home by the bay!
We are home now after a week’s stay at this cozy and tidy home. The views were marvelous as was walking the boardwalk across the street for exercise and meeting friendly folks along the way. Everything was at our fingertips when preparing meals. Wonderful memories were made and we will highly recommend it to all.Thank you, Cathy!!

Perfect spot for us!
The Harbour House is a real home away from home! We especially loved hanging out on “The Porch” - the deck - every day (many times during the day 😎). I think we ate every meal and snack out there (breakfast included)!! The location was perfect for us. Very relaxing. The boardwalk was just across the street and we were in walking distance to the beach, a bakery and a number of spots to eat. Big thank you to Cathy and Les for making us feel welcome and being only a text away when we had a question. We’re hoping to stay again in the future!
