We loved our stay at Kevin & Lourdes rental home. It was extremely comfortable. The location is great in the middle of Cavendish, there was plenty of room for our family to spread out, and the hosts were super helpful with recommendations. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Perfect Getaway
Awesome place to stay for a group. Very clean, very accommodating, so much provided to guests - even tons of beach towels/toys! Yard was the perfect hangout spot, lots for the kiddos to do. My only comment is the road is quite busy because it’s the same road to KOA campground. Kiddos brought their bikes but we always walked with them , and first thing in the morning as it seemed to be the less busy time. Would be fine for older kids tho! Still a 5 star rating for stay.

Wonderful Vacation!
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful cottage! We had 4 adults and 5 children (under 10) and it fit us all perfectly. The cottage was stocked with literally everything you could need for comfort, cooking and even for beach days (chairs, toys, etc). It was clean and spacious both inside and out. The yard is fairly private and it's located off the main road, so it's pretty quiet. Traffic is just from the campground down the road. Close to everything - walkable to most attractions in Cavendish or a short 2 minute drive. Would 100% recommend for larger groups. Hope to visit again next year! Thank you, Kevin & Lourdes!

Incredible Place to Stay
Without a doubt the nicest and well thought out place we've ever stayed from VRBO. Hosts were very friendly and communication was fast and easy. Amenities covered everything which made our stay so much more comfortable. The place itself is beautiful, the pictures in the listing don't do it justice, we were all amazed and loved our stay. Beautiful decor, very well kept including the incredible landscaping around the property. Located right in town with easy access to everything. Hard to imagine a better place to stay in PEI!

A Family Vacation Extraordinaire.
Nine of us enjoyed this delightful cottage immensely. It was beautifully furnished, landscaped and provisioned and had every amenity we could have possibly wanted. The hosts were friendly and helpful and respected our privacy. We made many wonderful family memories in our one week vacation. The walls are still ringing with the sounds of teasing and laughter and conversation. Beds were comfy, plenty of towels and dishes and cookware and many spots to sit outside including a fire pit under string lighting. A magical spot. A unexpected delivery of fresh baking, a bouquet of flowers, a bottle of wine and a welcome sign greeted us. Many thanks to Kevin and Lourdes.

My siblings and I brought my mom to PEI for her 70th bday. This house was magical. My mom especially loved the sun room area…she wanted to bring it home with her. These people have some incredible decorating skills and the house is so comfortable. Anytime we texted Kevin he was right there and so helpful. We loved our trip here! Thank you for all your attention to the little things!

AWESOME!
This place is so EVERYTHING! The owners live next door, are incredibly friendly, helpful and responsive. The entire place is beautifully decorated, very cozy and comfortable, has everything you could possibly need, and is just so relaxing. We were there off-season (intentionally avoiding the Cavendish chaos of summer) so really enjoyed watching movies, cooking, board games and snoozing. The weather wasn't great but had it been, there are so many amenities and places outside to sit, relax, eat or play. This was incredibly good value.

A ski trip to remember!
Kevin and Lourdes’s warm welcome and very special home made our PEI ski trip extra special. Such a lovely location! The interior is not only beautifully appointed, it’s well designed for very comfortable living. The exterior offers lots of space to sit, relax, and play. The beds and furniture were not only lovely to look at, they were very comfortable. Everything one could possible need was available. Thanks so much for making this such a memorable ski vacation!

Our stay at the Island Gales Cottage was perfect!! Kevin and Lourdes are exceptional, thoughtful hosts, and their generous hospitality and warm welcome were much appreciated. Kevin’s orientation to the property upon our arrival was very helpful. The cottage and surrounding property are beautiful and in a quiet, relaxing setting. All of the amenities are excellent, which can be attributed to Kevin and Lourdes attention to detail. They have thought of everything and more that will make a stay at their cottage extra special. As you can tell, our stay at the cottage was the best!! We definitely want to return some day. We highly recommend the Island Gales Cottage!!

Wonderful weekend !
This was our second stay at Island Gales Cottage. Last October we were a group of five girls, this October three of us returned with our husbands. We enjoyed both the outdoor/indoor fireplaces and games. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms provided each couple with their own private space. Kevin and Lourdes take much pride in making their vacation rental a wonderful, clean and well equipped abode. This is a must stay island destination.

What an incredible find! A great cottage for a getaway! Our group of women met at University (many years ago) and have been getting together annually for over 20 years. This is easily the nicest, best equipped cottage at which we have ever stayed. Kevin & Lourdes have thought of every thing one could possibly want or need & more. We were greeted with a lovely welcome basket of garden veges, a well stocked kitchen & pantry including coffee , tea, basic herbs, spices, etc. There were 7 very comfortable beds, plenty of towels, and extra blankets for cooler evenings & nights. Lots of comfortable seating, inside & out, perfect for chatting (& maybe a little wine). The only deficiency we could find…there was no rocking chair😉 😉!!!! This is a great place to stay….we will certainly consider more visits.
