What differentiates the PEI oyster is a clean, salty taste that finishes sweet – a combo unique to the Gulf of Saint Lawrence – and it becomes arguably even more succulent when the temperature drops. That's because as the ocean cools, the oyster's adductor muscle, which holds the shell together, grows stronger, adding a little bit of sweetness to the taste.

The oyster is also at its plumpest right when the cold weather hits, having filtered up to 189 litres of water a day while feeding on plankton until the waters drops to four degrees Celsius. Over the winter, the oyster lies dormant until spring.

Everything was clean and the AC meant that we were comfortable even during the hottest days.The home was stocked with books and board games that helped keep our kid occupied.The location itself was very central to the places we wanted to see including Thunder Cove and everything related the Anne of Green Gables. There was also a grocery store, pharmacy and restaurants within walking distance which was nice. Would visit again."

"Our group of 12 had a wonderful vacation. This house was perfect for a bigger group allowing each family to have a separate sleeping space while still having a common space to cook and spend time together. The kids loved the ping pong table and the paddle boards. This house was ready to stay in, with all the needed amenities and more. Paul was wonderful to us and we are looking forward to returning next year."
