Amazing experience

We loved our stay at the Blue Tin Cottage. Sarah was very attentive all week with excellent communication. The cottage was beautifully decorated, the kitchen fully stocked, plenty of linens/towels and other supplies. The beach is one of our favourites on the island. Just a short drive to many local vendors and restaurants. Can't wait to visit again.

This was the perfect accommodation for our family. We have two little kids (3 and 7 months) and we were perfectly happy and comfortable. The reviews all said it was very clean and they were right, more than right! The place was absolutely spotless which, left us feeling very comfortable and happy. The location is fantastic - the provincial park was close by as that beach was more conducive to visiting during the higher tides (check your tide tables). But the resident beach was very close and easy to get to from the cottage. The layout of the cottage with the 3 bedrooms gave us plenty of space. The kitchen and large dining table were also great. Nice that they had a high hair and kid dishes! The kitchen was well equipped and it made cooking meals easy. All we needed was nicer weather (can’t control that ! 😉) and we could have enjoyed the deck a little bit more - love that water view. The hosts community clearly and promptly. If we are ever in PEI again, we would stay at the Blue Tin Cottage again in a heart beat. We’ll miss it !

Great size, very clean, beautifully decorated. Location good. Loved the layout and safety for my young family. Owners are extremely responsive and polite. Only a few issues: no drinkable water from the tap (only can use for washing things). A good amount of bottled water was kindly provided by the owners, but we ran out, and had to buy more--- a lot more. We have two young babies, who constantly need a source of clean, drinkable water (for bathing, feeding, etc.), so this was a stressful situation for us, and likely would have deterred us from staying here. Wish it was mentioned upfront. This likely won't present as an issue for older guests and those without very young babies. Another issue for us, was the walk leading up to the nearby Chelton beach, and somewhat the beach itself, was very buggy, full of mosquitoes that attacked us and our babies. We went out during the day and tried to avoid dawn/dusk, but still got tons of bites. We had previously stayed at the Hamptons, and this wasn't an issue. Not sure if it's always like this, but speaking to a neighbour, it is. It made our walks around the area unpleasant, trying to swat them away from biting us. But again, maybe for outdoorsy type of people (we're city folk), this isn't an issue. Also, when I'm on vacation, I don't constantly check my e-mail. So I missed reminders sent to us to bring out garbage for garbage day or that the owners were going to come by and mow the lawn. So it was a big surprise to us, when we spotted the owner mowing our lawn and had to make a mad scramble to close the curtains for privacy. My husband also made a failed rushed attempt to bring out the garbage, but it was too late (sincere apologies for this). This was largely our fault for not being more on top of our e-mails, but on the other hand, it's a vacation, and we were trying to relax and stay away from our phones. And to be real, we were just too busy chasing after screaming babies. Probably not an issue for others who have time to be more on top of their e-mails. Other than these things, very nice cottage, very nice owners, made great memories at PEI that I will remember for a lifetime.
