This was a great home base for a group of 4 adults exploring some of PEIs golf courses.Check-in was flawless. We were greeted by Kevin who gave us a brief, helpful orientation as well as a few goodies. . The property was very clean and well appointed. The kitchen and laundry facilities were very good
What an amazing place for our family to stay while attending a wedding nearby. Kevin and Lourdes have thought of everything! The home is gorgeous, beautifully decorated, and well-organized with the perfect outdoor space rain or shine. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!
Beautiful house in a convenient location. Hosts were very friendly, helpful and generous. This property had the best stocked kitchen we’ve ever stayed in!
This was an amazing property, well thought out and absolutely stunning grounds, beautiful garden combined with kids playground, adult seating and fire pit. Close to beach and entertainment for children like water park etc. Thanks for everything, Constance and Peter
This property was much more than we ever imagined it would be. It was by far the most clean and well stocked property that we've ever stayed in. The owners were thorough and generous and attentive and so very kind. We'll always cherish our time on PEI, and a large part of that is because of this home.
Highly recommend Island Gale! Kevin and Lourdes are very welcoming and friendly. Cottage is beautiful inside and out! Very well maintained and clean. They provide you with anything you could ever need during your stay. Cottage is very close to Cavendish boardwalk and beaches. We look forward to our next visit! Thank you so much!! 5 stars
We loved our stay at Kevin & Lourdes rental home. It was extremely comfortable. The location is great in the middle of Cavendish, there was plenty of room for our family to spread out, and the hosts were super helpful with recommendations. Would highly recommend to anyone.
This was a great location for friends to reunite .
Centrally located , the rental was very clean , comfortable and relaxing . The hosts are readily available if needed ; very kind and accommodating , with great attention to detail and thoughtful touches .
This property was perfect for our family to come together on PEI . The cottage and property are jaw dropping beautiful ! The hosts, Kevin & Lourdes are exceptional and have provided everything thing possible for a luxury stay. We had an excellent visit and would definitely recommend you come and enjoy every minute !
Our home away from home! Owners Kevin and Lourdes created a cozy, welcoming and beautiful place to host PEI visitors! Our family of five absolutely loved staying here! Minutes from the national park and ocean, restaurants, Anne of Green Gables museum, and so many attractions, what a perfect spot! The cottage was very clean, comfortable and had plenty of space. The owners had dishes, appliances, blankets, dish soap, laundry detergent , etc all well stocked. Our boys loved playing in the backyard on the climber and swings. And we enjoyed the board games and puzzles in the evening. Kevin and Lourdes were easy to communicate with, and responded quickly. We recommend staying here!!! And hope to stay here again in the future!! Thank you Kevin & Lourdes!!
Without a doubt the nicest and well thought out place we've ever stayed from VRBO. Hosts were very friendly and communication was fast and easy. Amenities covered everything which made our stay so much more comfortable. The place itself is beautiful, the pictures in the listing don't do it justice, we were all amazed and loved our stay. Beautiful decor, very well kept including the incredible landscaping around the property. Located right in town with easy access to everything. Hard to imagine a better place to stay in PEI!
This home is perfect for 3 couples and a couple of kids. It is very well appointed, lots of very thoughtful decorating touches, and easy to cook in (great appliances and ample cookware). The outdoor space, with propane fireplace or wood fire pit are delightful! The host was most accommodating and everything about this property is nothing shy of 5 star! Highly recommended.
Kevin and Lourdes have thought of everything and provide guests with more than we have ever seen at a rental property. Their home is beautiful, clean and thoughtful details are found throughout the home. Good quality kitchen utensils, appliances, plenty of serving dishes, glasses, cutlery etc. We were all so relaxed the moment we walked in the door. Kevin and Lourdes have created a little haven here. We would highly recommend!!!
My siblings and I brought my mom to PEI for her 70th bday. This house was magical. My mom especially loved the sun room area…she wanted to bring it home with her. These people have some incredible decorating skills and the house is so comfortable. Anytime we texted Kevin he was right there and so helpful. We loved our trip here! Thank you for all your attention to the little things!
My cousin and my brother and his wife came to explore PEI because our grandmother was born and we visited cemeteries that held our relations . The cottage was the perfect gathering place and the gardens and beautiful features of the house made it very comfortable and attractive . The surrounding area was great to explore . A perfect trip for our family and we hope to return with friends to share the experience . Lourdes and Kevin are exceptional hosts and went above and beyond to make us happy .
This was our second stay at Island Gales Cottage. Last October we were a group of five girls, this October three of us returned with our husbands.
We enjoyed both the outdoor/indoor fireplaces and games. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms provided each couple with their own private space. Kevin and Lourdes take much pride in making their vacation rental
a wonderful, clean and well equipped abode. This is a must stay island destination.
Kevin and Lourdes’s warm welcome and very special home made our PEI ski trip extra special. Such a lovely location! The interior is not only beautifully appointed, it’s well designed for very comfortable living. The exterior offers lots of space to sit, relax, and play. The beds and furniture were not only lovely to look at, they were very comfortable. Everything one could possible need was available. Thanks so much for making this such a memorable ski vacation!
Awesome place to stay for a group. Very clean, very accommodating, so much provided to guests - even tons of beach towels/toys!
Yard was the perfect hangout spot, lots for the kiddos to do.
My only comment is the road is quite busy because it’s the same road to KOA campground. Kiddos brought their bikes but we always walked with them , and first thing in the morning as it seemed to be the less busy time. Would be fine for older kids tho! Still a 5 star rating for stay.
This has been the best place we've ever stayed at. Plenty of room, clean, comfortable beds, great location, well-stocked with just about anything you'd need for your stay! We didn't need to bring/buy anything extra. Hosts were very quick to answer any messages. Kevin came over the evening we arrived and showed us around and answered any questions we had. Highly recommend!! We hope you stay here again in the future!! Thank you 😊
There were 7 of us stayed at this beautiful cottage in Cavendish to celebrate our 30th reunion and it couldn’t have been any better! The cottage had everything we needed and more including 2 beautiful sitting areas, comfortable beds, a fire pit, electric fireplace and was stocked with plenty of towels and amenities. Lourdes and Kevin are amazing landlords and were there to accommodate us whenever we needed anything. We are spreading the word about this beautiful cottage and location and hope to be back again soon. 🙏💕
Our group consisted of 8 sisters and sister-in-laws. We gather annually and found this gem two years ago and just had to come back. The house had enough beds to accommodate us all comfortably. The kitchen was very well stocked and the baker in our group made biscuits and cinnamon rolls. The house was so well decorated and the open concept allowed us to enjoy each other's company. The hosts were so friendly and welcomed our first arrival right away. They also had a couple of bottles of wine for us as a welcome gift. Everything was amazing during our stay. I highly recommend this place to anyone. 10 STARS!!
This place is so EVERYTHING! The owners live next door, are incredibly friendly, helpful and responsive. The entire place is beautifully decorated, very cozy and comfortable, has everything you could possibly need, and is just so relaxing. We were there off-season (intentionally avoiding the Cavendish chaos of summer) so really enjoyed watching movies, cooking, board games and snoozing. The weather wasn't great but had it been, there are so many amenities and places outside to sit, relax, eat or play. This was incredibly good value.
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful cottage! We had 4 adults and 5 children (under 10) and it fit us all perfectly. The cottage was stocked with literally everything you could need for comfort, cooking and even for beach days (chairs, toys, etc). It was clean and spacious both inside and out. The yard is fairly private and it's located off the main road, so it's pretty quiet. Traffic is just from the campground down the road. Close to everything - walkable to most attractions in Cavendish or a short 2 minute drive. Would 100% recommend for larger groups. Hope to visit again next year! Thank you, Kevin & Lourdes!
