There are many updates and such needed for this area to be safe. The porches are falling off the cabins, there are raised and broken cement around pool which is a hazard, and the playgrounds are unsafe and falling apart. for a "Family-Friendly" facility, it is very much lacking in the safety aspects to ensure children are safe playing there. Pictures also do NOT Match the rooms booked. Update needed to ensure customers know what they are purchasing!!!! My cabin was MUCH smaller and a lot less amenities and features then I thought I booked as per pictures and description on the site!! VERY MISLEADING!!!!

This was a wonderful stay for a few days on pei The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I didnt get two of thwm that were help. A woman who checked us in and a man who helped with extra coffee and batteries for a dead remote. I did meet Gloria? Upon checkout. She said they would be more than happy to have us back and we will be back soon.
The table fan was ours from home. A nice comfy bed.

Bring your kitchen equipment.

Il manque beaucoup de petites choses qui pourraient rendre ce petit chalet confortable: équipement de cuisine trop usé ou manquant, pas d’éclairage, manque de surface pour déposer les choses dans la salle de bain, ou dans la cuisine, micro-onde rouillé, pas de louche, pas d’éponge, poêlon fini raide……On a apprécié pouvoir ouvrir les fenêtres et la porte moustiquaire

The room we were given was in a motel type building. It was clean but very dated. The beds were okay, on the firm side. The towels were so thin and some had the stitched side removed so it was frayed top and bottom and literally looked like what you would use for rags. The bathroom door if you locked it was very hard to get unlocked to get out and the hot water was pretty non existent. But the property was very close to everything we wanted to see and staff were friendly. The room did have AC which was amazing since it was over 30 degrees the whole time there.

Perfect location for our visit to Prince Edward Island. Cavendish is a great town with lots to do, and our cottage was conveniently located to everything. Cottage was clean, comfortable and spacious. Floor of the cottage was slightly slanted, but that was barely noticeable. Nice pool area as well on warmer days. Within walking distance of a nice seafood restaurant and a Tim Hortons (for breakfast coffee and donuts), and about a minute drive to the Green Gables Estate. We came to PEI to bike ride, and Shining Watters is about a 2 minute ride to one of the best coastal trails on the island (and short drives to other points along the Confederation Trail.) Loved it!

This is the view from Prince Edward Island National Park, about 2 minutes by bike and less than a 10-minute walk from the cottages.

It was good. Limited Parking (if the place was fully booked and if you had a pick up) but not impossible. 1 pool was closed and the play area could be updated a bit We never asked anyone but was not shampoo in the shower. There was hand soap. Perfect cabin with stove, fridge, dishwasher and table. Was very well equipped to stay. They state walking distance to ocean....its a bit of a walk but all that being said, very nice place. Very close to anything you'd want to do (by car) and very clean. I would recommend this place.

Nice Holiday cabin.

Check in was quick and easy. However when we got to our cabin the key didn’t work. Went back to the office and got another one, that one worked but barely, it was very finicky. The inside of the cabin is slightly outdated but it was clean and plenty of room, the bedrooms were a good size. The bathroom was also a good size. The biggest complaint we had was the issue with the hot water. When showering the water would go from the temperature you set to luke warm then boiling hot. Definitely not safe to let a child shower unattended. It was very frustrating. The playground is run down, the pool was very nice. The BBQ was clean and ready to use.

Nice little cabins, very clean, staff are super friendly. Even with lots of people, it's pretty quiet. Close to everything you'd want to do in Cavendish for attractions. There's an amazing lookout nearby for a great sunset! I'll definitely be back to stay here!
