Darnley by the Dunes - oceanfront walk to beautiful beach - great for families

We had an amazing stay at Darnley by the Dunes in PEI! The location was absolutely perfect — just steps from a stunning beach that felt like our own private getaway. The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay for me, my girlfriend, and our two friends. Melanie was a fantastic host — friendly, responsive, and made sure everything was just right. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to unwind. Highly recommend!

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage.Nestled in among the Darnley Dunes, it was everything you could wish for in a vacation home. I would highly recommend this rental and we look forward to returning.

Lovely house, gorgeous locationWell equipped and very comfortable! Would visit again in a heartbeat

Property was very clean, just as presented. So convenient to everything we planned to do. And talk about easy beach access…to a PERFECT beach. We will absolutely stay here again next time we visit :)

Everything was exactly as described on the website. The house is really big and perfectly clean. The view over the dunes was so beautiful and with only a few steps over you are right on the beach. If you are an early bird you can go see the sunrise. Overall a lovely place that we would recommend to anyone looking for an intimate spot away from the crowds.

We selected this cottage because it was adjacent to the dunes. They form a beautiful drift of bayberry and sea grass that ruffled in the breeze and they are all that separate the property from the beach. The house itself had everything we could ask for and was immaculately clean. I particularly enjoyed the porch, from which there were beautiful views. Despite the cooler Autumn temperatures we would facing east in the morning and west in the afternoon and were very comfortable reading. I also loved the way the kitchen/dining room and living room were lined with large south facing windows. In terms of practical matters the beds were very comfortable and there were a lot of them. Three separate seating areas, two with large TVs, and three bathrooms. This would be a great place for a larger family. Melanie and Clifford were very responsive to all our questions and concerns. And there were a couple because we were there during tropical storm Dorian. During the storm it was really nice to have a finished basement to recede into. It wasn’t something I had sought or thought about when booking but we were very happy to have it. I would highly recommend this cottage.

Exactly as described. Great location on the North shore with easy beach access
