Welcome to Sand Dollar Beach House!

******July & August bookings run from Saturday to Saturday******

One of best parts of Sand Dollar Beach house is the beach! When you walk out the front door of the cottage the beach is about 15 yards away. It is a private beach, accessible mainly to the cottages in the immediate surrounding area. We have the most beautiful beach on the South Shore with the warmest waters north of South Carolina. When the tide is low there are sandbars (1.5km!) which makes a for a giant playground for children (and adults!) and a great place for long walks. Stroll through the tidal pools, dig for clams, or beachcomb for sea glass, sand dollars and other ocean treasures. At high tide the width is approx 30 feet and at low tide 400 ft. Unlike the Cavendish Atlantic waters, we have no undertows and the shallow waters extend out for hundreds of feet, at which point they are still only waist-deep, making the beach perfect (and safe) for young children. This is a great beach for families! (Beach chairs, towels and toys are provided.) Rinse the sand off in the outdoor shower before heading into the beach house to relax.

The Sand Dollar Beach House has room for 8 guests. Please note that two single beds are located in a LOFT area. It is accessible by regular stairs but is open to the main living area. There is not a door separating the loft from the other areas. The loft bedroom is equipped with a TV and DVD player. This would be a great room for kids or just a space to sneak away from the vacation chaos.

The cottage has a screened in porch accessible through a patio door. This lovely area is perfect for balmy summer evenings. Listen to the waves crash while chatting with family and friends. After you watch the sunset, (and this is one of the best I have seen!) head out to the campfire pit to roast a hotdog and have a s'more.

There is a large lawn around the cottage for kids to run around and play games.

The main area is open concept. Relax on comfortable furniture that looks out to the beach and an amazing view ocean view. Cook up some seafood or other local fare in the fully stocked kitchen. Lobster anyone? There is a seafood co-op less than 5 minutes up the road that sells a variety of fresh seafood straight off the boat.

If you need a break from exploring, the beach house offers satellite TV, wifi and a DVD player. There is a small selection of movies, books, puzzles and games.

You will be in the heart of L'Acadie! This area of Prince Edward Island is still unspoiled (not overrun with other tourists!) and will provide a truly authentic Island experience for those looking for something a bit out of the ordinary! This is an Acadian area, where the people are incredibly friendly and speak both English and French. The Western part of Prince Edward Island is incredibly laid-back and easy going. You might be the only person on a sandy beach that stretches for miles!l

Close to the cottage:
*Fish market at a working fishing wharf is just down the road.
*Just up the road a few Km is a nice bakery/restaurant called Le Gallette blanche with has a wide variety of Acadian dishes and sweets such as meat pies and rapure.

Nearby:
*Wellington (10 minutes) is a small village with any and all amenities you could want.
* Summerside (25 minutes) is a bustling small city with tons to do, see and eat.

If you choose to head further up the western part of the Island you will find miles and miles of shoreline to explore, lighthouses, and quaint villages that are worth taking an extra look.

Cavendish is always an option, as well as bustling, sophisticated Charlottetown. They are a bit further away but would make a great day outing. I can provide a more in depth "curated" list of the Island's best tourist hot spots AND hidden gems known only to the locals.

Fully equipped kitchen

A cozy 3 day autumn stay

After a little difficulty finding the cottage when we arrived in the dark, Kim was quick to respond with clear directions. The beach house was very clean, with modern decor, comfy beds and plenty of warm blankets for our autumn stay- we appreciated that! Waking up to the view was like a dream. Red sand, blue skies, white waves. We walked the beach each morning and collected shells. A few things that I missed: morning coffee and a hair dryer! Aside from that, a fantastic stay!!

Simply amazing!

Kim delivered on all her promises! Everything she described in her add was accurate with even more +++. it is not surprising that her cottage is very popular and almost always rented!! The cottage has one of the best location in the whole area of Maximeville, directly on the beach with a spectacular view in general and breathtaking sunsets! The cottage itself was really clean, cozy, well equipped and beautifully decorated. We were only 2 but could have easily fitted the whole family of 5 no problem! Located in an Acadian region, people were so welcoming and willing to connect and answer our multiple questions! They showed us how to harvest our own soft shell clams and quahaug! We bought lobster 🦞, scallops and bar clams all within 5 minutes of the cottage, and hate fresh seafood all week! Sooo delicious!😋 We easily give this cottage and their host a 5 ⭐️ stars and we hope to be back soon! Thank you Kim for everything!

Best. Vacation. Ever.

Our three kids are in their mid-twenties but it was like they were 8 again! We had the time of our lives in this cozy, casual, spotless cottage with spectacular ocean views and beaches that go on for ever. Easy, scenic drives to Cavendish, North Rustico, the North Cape and Summerside (for our daily runs to Holman's Ice Cream)! Sand Dollar is only about an hour and a bit from YYG, but it's remote enough that we only saw three people on "our beach" the whole week. Last but not least, Kim is the perfect host. She had a fully equipped kitchen, about a dozen board games, fantastic recommendations that only a local would know, and she answered our texts within minutes. We just wish we could have stayed longer.

Fantastic views on a never ending beach in a perfect cottage!

Have stayed here many times now and it never disappoints. A sand dune away from the ocean on a beach, when at low tide, you can walk for hours on. The cottage is perfect for families, the beds are comfortable, and the views are spectacular especially the sunsets! It’s a perfect Oceanside cottage that’s quaint, has everything you need including great internet for streaming, and the owners are responsive to our every need. 10/10!

A Little Piece of Paradise

The cottage was just as the pictures showed. We loved the location. My favorite spot for my afternoon naps was the screened in porch. We were pleased that the cottage had Netflix and liked the large table in the kitchen. We can see why this property is constantly booked. One suggestion: When we arrived it was raining and the cushions on the furniture in the screened porch were wet. It took a couple of days for them to dry out properly. The look is nice when you walk in; however, if there is rain, maybe the cushions could be taken off the furniture for the next people coming in.

Fantastic Beachfront Vacation

Perfect spot for long walks on the beach where when the tide is out you can walk for hours barefoot looking for sand dollars of which there are many. The cottage has everything you could possibly need and is large enough for 2 families. Kids would love the upstairs loft room! The property is large enough for our games and still room for an outdoor fire pit although we’ve just gone to the beach to build a fire. Neighbours are awesome and quiet but would help anyone if asked. Lots of fans for when it’s hot and ceiling fans everywhere! Nice, open and airy seaside house to hang your hat and nicely decorated for when you want to invite friends over for dinner and cook some lobster that you can easily pick up just down the road where the fishing boats come in. The screened in room and the huge veranda are excellent for watching the unique sunsets that are breathtaking every year we go! The owner is super and always accommodating especially through our many COVID reservation changes. Thanks Kim!

Wonderful Cottage

Our family of three had a great time at this cottage, though there is room for many more. The beach was fantastic, especially at low tide. Our seven year old spent hours watching the hermit crabs and digging for clams/sand dollars. The cottage was exactly as advertised and we would absolutely stay here again.

perfect family vacation!

This location and property are amazing -- especially for a family with two young children (ours are 5 and 3). The beach is just at the end of the drive over a small sand dune. The kids LOVED exploring the tidal flats every day... and I can't imagine a safer place for them to do so! And the sunsets were amazing! The cottage is so well equipped and comfortable: we had plenty of space for four adults and the two kids. The kids also loved all the books, games, art supplies, and movies. The location of the cottage is great for day trips too. Everything felt like it was no more than an hour away!
