About this property
Honeycomb Cottage - bright, airy and spacious sanctuary with water view!
Nestled in the cozy cottage community of MacIntyre Shore in Donaldston, PEI (Mount Stewart postal district), Honeycomb Cottage is close to many beaches, and a short drive to Charlottetown, Cavendish, golf courses, the National Park, and many outdoor activities. Honeycomb Cottage is winterized too, so it's a great weekend getaway perfect for snowshoeing or winter hikes. There are large front and back yards, a wrap-around deck with BBQ (in summertime), a well-stocked kitchen for cooking, and there is a playground just one lot over from the cottage. Honeycomb Cottage is a perfect vacation home for families, couples or friends. Tourist Establishment License # 2202909.
The main living area is in the centre and has a large, high hexagon-shaped ceiling (hence "Honeycomb Cottage"). The main bedroom and ensuite are off one side of the main living space, and the "guest wing" with two bedrooms, laundry and bathroom is off the other side. All bedrooms have closets and dressers not seen in the photos.
There are some stores nearby with some food and convenience items, but to fully stock up on groceries you will most likely need to go the a big grocery store in Charlottetown (Superstore or Sobeys). Local stores (seasonal) include Jewell's Country Market in Marshfield, The Shore Market at Covehead Harbour in the National Park, and Lily's Convenience, Ultramar & Irving Gas Stations in Dunstaffnage, Scotchfort and Mount Stewart respectively, are open year-round.
There is an "info sheet" with more pertinent information, brochures and suggestions of things to do. There is a TV, no cable, but there is Chrome Cast so you can stream from your phone or tablet.

We loved the property. The location was beautiful and very peaceful. The cottage was very spacious, clean and had all the amenities.
The living area was very impressive! The kitchen was well stocked and easy to find anything we needed. The vaulted ceiling in the living room was so beautiful and gave the feeling of airiness & space. The master br was lovely. The deck with mums & pumpkins was very lovely. We wish we could have used the screened in porch, but didn't have the opportunity.
Drove all the way from Ontario and it was well worth it! Cottage was spacious and clean. Great location close to national park. Also really enjoyed the honeycomb theme as a bee keeper.
Great place to stay!
This was our second stay at the Honeycomb and it was wonderful. The cottage is clean, has everything you need, and the communication with Dianne was clear and prompt. We will be back next year!
We were 6 adults, 1 child and 2 dogs. Lots of room to spread out. Well equipped lovely cottage. Enjoyed the screened in porch. Close to beaches and restaurants(less than 30 minutes). Owner was always quick to respond to emails. Would definitely rent it again!
The cottage is absolutely as described. The indoor and outdoor living space is great for a group and just a short walk to the water. The property and cottage are clean and inviting. Bedrooms on either side of a large open living room/dining room/kitchen give just enough separation. The weather was just starting to get cooler and the furnace kept us toasty warm. Thank you for a wonderful space to relax and get comfy.
Really gorgeous home. Drive along vibrant red dirt roads to get to this beautiful place. Unique design and truly gorgeous decor. You can tell this place is well loved. Check in was easy (and early!) which we appreciated. It is so quiet and the screened in porch was perfect for coffee and reading. Bathrooms were stunning and the master just gorgeous. Loved the open concept honey bee theme.
The communications with the owner were excellent throughout especially for our arrival - especially as there was a power outage in the vicinity. When we arrived all was fixed and the cottage was beautifully inviting. The space was exactly as in the photos, clean, lovely and has everything you would need. And the fact that we could bring our dog was a wonderful bonus. The kitchen was fully equipped and had all items you might need during your stay. The bedrooms were comfy and cosy and the living room very relaxing. There were books, games, puzzles, etc available for your use. And I loved the screened in porch which make relaxing without mosquitoes so enjoyable. The area that the cottage was located in was a small grouping of homes and cottages but very quiet and relaxed. Also it was fairly centrally located on the Island for wherever we wanted to go. Although nothing is really far on PEI. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it. While it was just the two of us the bedrooms would easily sleep two each and there were two bathrooms for use. We hope to be back. Sandra, Paul and Elroy (dog)
We had a wonderful time on PEI and Honeycomb Cottage was excellent. Location worked out great since we had family also staying in the vicinity. We have been on the island a number of summers and this cottage was far and away our best experience. We hope to be back . Thank you Dianne !
Well located, and well laid out, this was perfect for us for a few days on the island. Nice and close to everything we wanted to do, and the layout of the space itself was thoughtful. Everything we needed was available, and we were very comfortable, including on a rainy night with nothing to do but sit and play cards at the kitchen table. We would definitely stay here again!
