| Being born and raised on Prince Edward Island I was looking for the best possible location to stay at. We wanted the best views , close to Golf courses and the best food spots on PEI . Desired haven was able to check all the marks on this request . This cottage was absolutely spotless on the inside . When I arrived the owner was still scrubbing the floors to ensure everything was perfect. Our first sleep was amazing as you can hear the waves crashing on the rocks of the red beach ( south shore ). I also love to cook and the cottage was equipped with everything I needed from a beautiful BBQ , lovely brand new oven , all the utensils and tools needed to make a lovely meal . Another thing was they supply fire wood for your fire pit that saves so much money so you don't have to buy bundles ! Ruth and Alan made me feel like I was home again and will be returning again next year without a doubt. I give this place 10/10 stars .

| The cottage we stayed in was clean and comfortable. We were there with our dogs for a week and the grounds were well looked after and maintained. The cottage had everything we needed as well. Only thing we were disappointed with is what was portrayed in the pictures for the beach is not what it was. To access the sand you have to go across a lot of rocks that are treacherous and slippery so we opted not to do that where one of our dogs was blind and I have an issue with my knee. We booked based on the beach access so it was not what we were expecting. Also we were suppose to be out for check out at 10 am and the owners along with 4 other people were there at 9:40 am.!! 10
Minutes before check out and we felt like they were rushing us out of there. This made it very stressful and I had to rush and get my dogs in the car in a hurry and out of their way so they can go in and clean. I never got to recheck to make sure I had forgot anything. My husband went back in when they were there and checked and I had stuff still in the fridge. Had I had the 20
Minutes until 10 am that would not have been there and I would have had time to sweep the floor and clean like I always do. Other than these two issues things were great with the cottage but perhaps just something to consider for the future if you need people out earlier than 10
Am check out , maybe mark down 9:30 am instead of 10am or maybe just wait until 10 before you try and go in. Thanks.

| We've just returned from PEI and staying at these cottages with family. We all loved our stay and found the cottages to be sparkling clean and efficient as a base from which to explore PEI. We really appreciated the AC as the weather was extremely hot when we visited and the kids liked that the cottages had wifi. The beds are comfy and had crisp white linens. Plenty of towels were provided. Basics like cleaner, dish soap, toilet paper, paper towels and coffee filters were already there which was welcome as we had travelled a long distance to get to PEI, less to pack. The beach area was the best. You have to go down a steep set of stairs to access but we all managed. We spent hours finding starfish, crabs, shells and even sea glass. Just a few minutes away from the cottages is Argyle Shores Park with a beautiful sandy beach as well. The hosts were lovely and easy going. Ruth helped us find where to buy lobster and a birthday cake on short notice for a family birthday occurring the day after our arrival. We all had a great vacation and would return to these cottages again.

| This is my my second at Desired Havens and I have to say these cottages will not disappoint. Located on the south shore on the beautiful Northumberland Strait. You can walk the sandy beach for miles. My favorite part was the shelter fire area. A great area to spend time with family and friends!

| The grounds are so well cared for, exploring around the paths in the woods around the property is a pleasure. The view from the cliffs is breathtaking and the sandstone below make for beautiful pictures. Perfect location for capturing on film! The hosts are gracious and very hospitable and friendly.
