Beachfront Cottage Located In Amazing Thunder Cove

*Discount of $500/wk for booking 3 or more weeks during the shoulder season (May, June). Contact the Property Manager to book this deal!*

The Sand Castle is located on PEI’s scenic north shore at Thunder Cove beach, considered by many locals as one of the best beaches on PEI. This spacious and modern cottage was built in 2018 and is the perfect spot to unwind and take in the sea breeze, play in the sand or use as a base to explore all that PEI has to offer.

The cottage sleeps 6 comfortably in the 3 spacious bedrooms, each with a queen bed. Two of the bedrooms have patio door access to the front deck. You will find 2 bathrooms, one with a modern soaker tub with a view to the sea. Lots of linens and beach towels provided. The fully equipped kitchen will leave you wanting for nothing, including herb/ spices and a lobster pot ready for your own ‘surf and turf’. Get your fresh seafood at the local fish house, just a 5 minute drive up the road! The open living space, with a vaulted ceiling, has bright windows to take in the breathtaking view. Walk through the patio doors onto a 50’ deck, with an unobstructed view of the sea, to sit and relax with a cold beverage, play a game, read a book, or dine al fresco. Grab your flip flops and head to the beach, just a few steps away on a well traveled path down the sandstone cliff. Explore the ever-changing caves, unique sea stacks, dunes or walk the beach for as far as you can see. Take in the cotton candy sunsets and gaze at the Milky Way at night.

Only 12 minutes away is Malpeque Bay which is world famous for their amazing oysters. Cabot Beach Provincial Park is a 14 min. Drive or head East along the Green Gable shore to find Cavendish Beach National Park (30 min. drive) or Charlottetown (60 min. drive). You will find many beaches, golf courses, restaurants, entertainment and shopping nearby.

Peaceful Serenity
We enjoyed our week stay in PEI at this large well appointed home on the cliffs of Thunder Cove. Arrived to a clean and organized home. Including everything you would need for the beach and meal prep. It was very hot and humid so the ceiling fans and extra fan were helpful. Newly built steps to beach access very nice. Beds and bedding were comfy. Beautiful mornings on the deck and evening sunsets spectacular. It is a large island and all towns you have to drive to We explored with our Bronco most of the island. GPS did keep putting us on unpaved roads so be cautious because you can get everywhere on the main paved roads. Biked on Confederation Trail in North Rustico along the shoreline and Kensington inland. Golfed and dined out several times. Recommend Richard’s in Victoria just after crossing the bridge into PEI absolutely the best Lobster Roll!! Many wonderful spots in small fishing marinas to explore and dine. Recommend the Dunes Studio Gallery where we had lunch and walked the lovely gardens and viewed wonderful local artist works. Thanks for the memories!

Lovely house in a kick ass location
The house is beautifully situated on the ocean with easy access to the beach. We loved the floor plan and the location in a quiet part of PEI. The layout of the house is great including the easy access to the deck. The furniture is first rate. The beds are comfortable if a bit small. For such a luxury property, we do have a few suggestions. The kitchen needs more Serving spoons, kitchen towels, steak knives, more mixing bowls, and a sheet pan. The grill was filthy. We had to clean it to use it. There was no wire brush for cleaning. The third bedroom could use a small chest of drawers so there is enough space to unpack. One of the windows in that bathroom needs repair. But these are minor suggestions to make your magical property even better.

The Perfect Holiday
My family and I stayed at The Sandcastle for 2 weeks and couldn't have had a better time. The place was just perfect for us - a lovely view of the ocean, only a minute to the sandy beach, comfortable rooms and living accommodations and a fabulous kitchen which we used often to enjoy the local seafood! Special touches include the ocean-view soaker tub, comfortable beach chairs and coastal decor touches. We can't wait to return!

We spent so much time on the deck which had an amazing view of the water and is in the shade for most of the day. Swam everyday and took photos of the sunset at night. Loved this place.

You Need NO TV for this scenery
We could have spent our entire day on the beach or simply looking out over the ocean from the deck. Listening to and looking at the ocean all day way much preferable to electronics. A peaceful, beautiful location, offering quick access to Ch’town or the North Coast. We will plan another stay!

Beautiful summer spot at the beach
This was such an incredible spot to spend 2 weeks with family. Beautiful view, incredibly clean and well equipped house, right next to the path down to the beach. Absolutely wonderful! The only thing I would flag is that it can get hot in the house even with the lovely ocean breeze, so anyone that is sensitive to heat may find it uncomfortable (eg babies, folks with health issues, etc.). But again, just an amazing experience overall!

PEI Paradise
We recently spent a week in PEI and this property made our vacation special. Everything we could possibly need was included and was of a high standard. This is one case where the actual location was better than the photos. Also, any questions we had were promptly dealt with by the property manager.

Beautiful location
This is a very nice cottage located a stones throw from the ocean. It was clean and modern. The only drawback that I found was the furniture in the living area was not all that comfortable. The chairs are on the small side for an adult male. Other than that all was very good.

Beach Access
Excellent home, clean, fully equipped , great view. Access to the beach was very challenging, this would prevent us from returning, basically a path, with some rocks, very steep, and dangerous. We talked to a few owners in the area, who identified this as a concern, they got what we were saying

Sand castle beautiful setting
Beautiful location, beautiful accommodations. New, clean, comfy beds, ample cooking supplies, spices and and utensils. Friendly quick staff. We had no propane and they were right out to swap the tank. Hard to criticize such a nice spot. The only thing I would change is cutting more grass to have a little more room to play some yard games, it would make the property look better as well. That Boeing said, it is a very minor detail as you mainly rent this for beach time and beautiful vistas. Rent with confidence.
