Waterfront Cottage Rental - Hardingdale Cottage

Come enjoy the North Shore. This beautiful, fully furnished, two story chalet is the perfect summer vacation get away. Enjoy morning coffee on the upper deck, and sunsets over the dunes! We are located just fifteen minutes from Cavendish, 45 minutes from Charlottetown and 2mins from TwinShores. The cottage has 3 bedrooms. The main floor bedroom has a double bed, the second bedroom upstairs has a double bed and the master has a queen bed. The cottage is fully equipped with; WiFi, Satellite TV, BBQ, washer and dryer, and a full kitchen with everything you'll need including a dish washer.

For some fun in the sun the direct access to the water below the cottage is great for paddle boarding, kayaking or just wading in the warm shallows with the kids. A short bike ride, or an even shorter car ride, enjoy one of PEI's most beautiful beaches, Thunder Cove.

Back at the cottage we have a large lower deck overlooking the water and the upper balcony, located off the master, providing unspoiled views of the sunset over the dunes. Be sure to finish off your day around the campfire pit under the stars.

We hope to hear from you, because we know you will enjoy your stay!

We had a wonderful week in this cottage - the property is beautiful and so close to the water, which our kids loved. The cottage itself is clean, spacious and was filled with everything we needed to make the week even more perfect. The host Carolyn, was very responsive and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend this property!

Amazing view and very comfy space!

We booked the cottage for a family vacation to PEI and instantly felt comfortable as soon as we walked in. The large common area on the main floor had lots of space for us to eat and visit together, and had a great view out onto the water so we could watch fishing boats, birds, and the sky. The cottage is a great location in the middle of the island, so easy for us to get to many different places all over the island, great for our planned road tripping around the island!

Quiet, clean, scenic

My husband, 2 kids and our dog had an excellent week-long stay in late August. The property is clean and quiet and the views are beautiful. Thunder Cove Beach is super handy and is a lovely place to spend the day. If you want to be away from the busy, touristy parts of the island and right on the water (although still an easy drive to all attractions), you’ll love this property. The hosts are friendly and quickly respond to any questions. Recommend!

Beautiful location and properry

Our stay at this cottage was heavenly. It was very clean and comfortable. We were waterfront and used the kayak and paddle boards daily. Great place for the dogs to run and swim and play as the water is shallow and there’s an outdoor shower to clean them up. The bedroom balcony was my favourite to just look over the water with a glass of wine, watch the sun go down and and watch the eagle soaring by each day! Literally a perfect spot for a relaxing vacation

Wonderful cottage

This property is in a great location, with beautiful views of Darnley Basin. The water is very shallow and warm perfect for shell collecting and wading. A short climb down to the water makes it great for families . We loved the kayak and stand up paddle board with the warm shallow water. The cottage itself was so clean and well stocked. It’s a very quiet location with lots of yard to run around in for kids. Lots of space inside for our family if 5 as well. It has a beautiful main suite with the best lookout deck for morning coffee and sunsets. It was about 20- 30 minutes from anything we wanted to visit on the island with two amazing beaches 2-10 minutes away for more swimming (Thunder cove and Cabot beach are both must sees). Carolyn was great to communicate with. We would love to return.

A+ in all aspects. The location is perfect for sunset viewing and access to warm, shallow water. The house is lovely and is in a perfect location for island touring and for access to a wonderful beach at Thunder Cove. The host is friendly and responsive and the check-in process is flawless. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a true getaway in an idyllic spot on a wonderful island. We'll be back!

a sweet getaway to a beautiful place!

We were blessed to be able to come up to celebrate my parent's 50th wedding anniversary on a dream trip. The host accommodated us very last minute, made sure everything was ready and perfect. We enjoyed the rainy day, watching the boats out in the bay. We enjoyed touring around our end of the island on the sunny days. And we especially enjoyed the lovely accommodations. Everything we could want or need was in the house, welcome binder was awesome with recommendations (eat at o'neils, and don't miss teacup rock!). With the lupin all along the back yard and some of the most spectacular sunsets I've ever seen, these memories will last a lifetime. We can't thank you enough!

A great PEI cottage experience!

We loved our time in Darnley. The cottage matched the description but was way better looking than the pictures. The situation on the bay is beautiful and we loved the view from the upper deck off the master. A small issue with the aging dishwasher was promptly fixed by Steven and his brother in law. Kudos!

Clean, well-equipped & quiet waterfront country cottage

We rented this pet-friendly cottage for a quiet fall (September) getaway. The cottage and yard provided a nice waterfront base from which to explore the island. The cottage’s bedrooms, bathrooms, and open concept kitchen/dining/living room area were clean, comfortable and well-equipped with everything we needed for the week - including a dishwasher and a full size washer and dryer. We really appreciated the high-speed internet. It was cool and rainy during most of our trip so we were not able to take advantage of the 1st or 2nd story porches but no doubt they would have been a great place to relax with a drink and enjoy the view after a long day of summer sightseeing. Similarly, we did not venture onto the shoreline. The cottage was a comfortable base for 30-60min day trips to Cavendish, Charlottetown, Summerside, Kensington (where we linked up with the Confederation Trail), and our new favourite, Victoria-by-the-Sea.
