Our family of 4 had a 2 week stay. The cottage was well big enough for us, very clean, and came with all the anemities that we needed for our stay. It's a two bedroom, upstairs/downstairs, with a pull out couch.
Chelton Beach (2k)is an amazing beach, with a wonderful sandbar. The days we were there, there were no jellyfish, or seaweed. The jellyfish in Cavendish on our first day made swimming immpossible. We didn't see any jellies at Chelton, or in front of the cottage. YMMV of course!!
The community of Bedeque is under 5 minutes drive from the cottage. It is very small, and very friendly. We made some friends with the people at the corner store, the owners of the breakfast Cafe, a couple of people at the church. I would go thte corner shop every day for at least "something", so it was convenient to have it close by. We attended a fully packed Ceilidh on a Tuesday night at the United church in town. It was good. We went to two others on the island, and by far and away the best was Mike Pendergast and Tom McSwiggan. Even the kids were loving the music, and the banter between songs. Get there early, and get a seat. Fantastic show.
Travelling the entire Island on any given day and without a plan was fun. To drive 90 minutes to the North Cape, or east Point is not a big deal. The location of the cottage is very good considering the Bridge, and Summerside. Charlottetown is about 45 minutes. I did find myself going to the North side of the island pretty often, simply because of the stuff to do up there (mostly for the kids I guess). But it's not even a 30 minute drive.
We ate a tonne of shellfish. Sharkey's in Summerside has a great reputation, but they close at 7PM(!)-even on Friday and Saturday nights, so we never made it there. The Deckhouse on the peir was pretty good, Skip's Fish 'n Chips had excellent fish and chips. Our best meals were in Charlottetown and then a few other random restaurants around the island. The Pearl in Rustico, New Glasgow lobster suppers was pretty good (mostly experience really), Sydney and Victoria St's in Charlottetown.. There is no need to eat out so much however, as the cottage itself is fully equiped kitchen and BBQ.
Finally, a HUGE thanks to Diane for consistenly answering my many many many emails with patience and accuracy.
Diane was a huge help from beginning to end, and although I've never met her, it would have not been the same experience without her guidance, reassurances and general expterise on the Island.
