We are a small family owned business and have a short rental season here in Prince Edward Island.  You are buying the time available in the cottage, essentially you “own that time slot”.  Shortening your stay is not only affecting our calendar, it also takes time for our office staff to alter reservations.

Shortening Reservations

  • You can not shorten a stay less than our nightly minimum (3 Nights May, June, September, October – 7 Nights July & August)
  • NO REFUNDS will be offered if while staying, you decide to shorten your stay.
  • Shortening your stay 30 days prior to arriving will result in an administration fee of 50% of one-night/per cancelled night.
  • Shortening your stay less than 7 days prior to arriving will result in an administration fee of one full night reservation/per cancelled night.

We provide clean towels for all our registered guests staying in our cottages. Please refrain from taking light colored bath towels outside the cottages, as we offer separate darker beach towels for these areas.

In the event that towels are stained with non-removable stains, torn or lost a charge of $20 per towel may be applied. Additionally, any damaged or stained bedding will incur a charge of $100.
