Darnley Cottage | Sandcastles Beach House - Duneside: On PEI's Best Beach!

2 Bedroom Cottage in Darnley

With Sandcastles Beach House a mere three minute walk along the path to the finest beach on the island and our beach's sandy, broad expanse and gentle slope it is perfect for relaxing and unwinding. You can walk for hours and never run out of beach. From your deck you can take in our spectacular dunes and you'll see the surf conditions so you'll know if it's a smooth swimming or a boogie board kind of day. In addition, we are in the enviable position of being the only rental having MacKay Pond border its lawn so you'll see eagles, herons, osprey and cormorants all day and end it all with blazing sunsets dancing off our waters. No neighbors separate you from your view of the dunes. Staying at Sandcastles is like having a series of natural works of art offered up to you all day long.
Sandcastles Beach House is a beautifully finished pine beach house with two independent units: Duneside and Meadowside. Each unit has two bedrooms, a full bath, washer & dryer and a fully-equipped kitchen, including dishwasher.
Sandcastles easily fills the needs of everyone from individual couples to groups of up to 14 celebrating reunions of families or groups of friends. We can customize in this way because we have two units which are adjoining and yet fully private and self-contained. So you can rent just one side and soak up all the beauty our location offers. Or, if you are with a larger group you can rent both sides, sharing meals and good times when you choose and yet still have the freedom to enjoy the privacy of dining and relaxing in your own unit. If you wish to book Duneside, please do so here. If you wish to book both Duneside and Meadowside, please book Duneside here and Meadowside on our other listing: "Sandcastles Beach House - Meadowside: Special Springtime Offer!"

Sandcastles Beach House is minutes from 8 golf courses, deep-sea fishing, fine dining and galleries. You'll be pleasantly surprised with our prices. Our rates are in Canadian dollars and include taxes. We do not charge extra for additional guests (up to 7 per side). So....be sure to check the final cost of other sites when comparing.

Summary: Visiting PEI has been on my friend's bucket list for years. Having beach access was lovely. This location meant nice drives to various sites, so we got to know and see the island.

Summary: We had a great vacation a couple minutes walk from one of the best beaches on PEI. The cottage also overlooked a pond so we could sit on the deck and watch the cormorants, herons and gulls. Very helpful and friendly hosts. We plan to return!

Summary: We really enjoyed our stay in Darnley. The beach was quiet, and absolutely gorgeous. It was our favourite beach on the island. The property is charming, and equipped with everything you need. You can even walk barefoot to the beach from the property! With views of the sand dunes, decks overlooking the pond, an eccletic collection of board games and movies, we really felt spoiled. Brian and Jane were the perfect hosts and we would definitely reccommend this place to anyone!

Summary: amazingly comfortable and homey, with lots of space and very very clean. The owner is a very attentive, informative, personable guy who always responds to your questions in good time. Views are spectacular and proximity to the beach is wonderful. being on the shores of a pond with hundreds of birds is a bonus. Loved the area and so much to see within a 150 mile radius. Fresh Seafood abounding nearby and so close to grocery stores, coffee shops and local restaurants with great food. Would highly recommend this rental.

Summary: We stayed September 26-29 which is at the end of the shoulder season on PEI. The duplex was spotless when we arrived. Nice location and friendly owners. The ocean was a short walk over the dunes. Excellent vacation.

Summary: This property was everything we imagined and more! Sitting on such a pretty pond with hundreds of birds to watch in the morning with Binoculars supplied by the owner. our dog was mesmerized by the birds and sat on the deck all day just watching the activity. at the break in the dunes where the pond is fed by the ocean, you can see the ocean! From the upstairs master bedroom deck, the ocean is very visible in all it's majesty and force, which we saw first hand on a couple of windy days when we first arrived. LOVED it! A short walk over pink sand dunes took us to the pink beach...think Cuba but pink and flat! the expanse of beach and the expanse of soft sand makes this location a hit in my books. Although it was October and we did have a couple really nice days for strolling on the beach, the summers at this rental would be awesome for kids and adults alike. NO way this private beach access for this neighbourhood would ever be crowded as there are miles of beach to explore at low tide in both directions! the Duplex itself is so comfortable, clean, spacious and well stocked including washer/dryer/dishwasher/satellite TV. There isn't a thing the owner forgot. the Property is big and a great place to bring the family and rent both sides of the duplex. The decks outside are wrap around and make a super place to just chill and take in the views that are spectacular. We loved that the location was only an hour or two from any PEI landmarks, national parks and seafood outlets for lobster, mussels and oysters...Malpeque oysters are some of the best in the world and it was only a 10 minute drive. Kensington and Summerside are both within 30 minutes drive and everything you want in groceries, coffee shops and restaurants are there. We ate at a great pub in Kensington called the Old Stone Pub..food was delicious and craft beer on tap. I cannot say enough good things about this rental. I sure hope we can return some day and enjoy the summer in PEI and use the outdoor showers!
