About this property

Homeport “Crow's Nest Lookout” Quiet & Private. Ferry to Nova Scotia - 2 KM Away

Tourism license number: 2300273
During Peak-Season, Crow's Nest Lookout is Monday to Monday. Homeport cottages are down a completely private lane on a 20 acre parcel that faces the Northumberland Strait on the southernmost tip of P.E.I. Crow's Nest is tucked in by the woods about 500 feet from the water. The South Shore has the warmest water and calmest seas on the Island. The cove is shaped like a big horseshoe, and we are right in the middle. Enjoy beautiful sunrise/sunsets. The property has a beautiful 1000 foot long white and red deep sandy beach, and sandbars go pretty far out at low tide. The cottages are well spaced apart (600-1000 feet) and they have their own separate access to the secluded beach, with lots of room for everyone to have their own privacy on the beach. You can search for bar clams, rock crabs, sand dollars, and hermit crabs on the sandbars at low tide, as well as walk for miles and explore in the tide pools or just relax on the warm sand and look for sea glass and other treasures along the shore. Great for swimming and and fun for kids building sandcastles. There is plenty of room on the beach and lots of large umbrellas with wooden tables, and chaise loungers to catch some shade on hot afternoons. Seals can be spotted on the rocks sunbathing near the lighthouse.

Crow’s Nest

The Crow’s Nest cottage was great. It is set back with a view of the ocean from the porch. We loved watching the tides come in and out. The cottage has everything you need for a super enjoyable stay. It is clean, well stocked, and has comfy beds. The location is wonderful and exploring the beach each day is the reason to go for us. Darryl is a super attentive property owner and makes sure you have everything that is needed. We look forward to coming back again.

Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022

Fantastic

We've stayed with Homeport twice now, once with Portside and once with Starboard and Portside. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience both times. Quiet and private on a fantastic beach with a great amount of exposure at low tide for ankle OR knee deep exploration. It's very clean and well maintained and Darryl is a very friendly and attentive host, Great guy! Never met Leslie but I'm sure you're a gem too It's P.E.I after all and everybody seems happy to see you. It's located on the quiet end of P.E.I but there's still plenty to do without all hubbub of the center Island vacationing crowd. We LOVE that. We'll definitely be going back, thanks for everything!

Wonderful place!

My family stayed here for 10 days this summer. Leslie went over and above and was the best host we have ever had in all our VRBO experices. The cottage was immaculate, comfortable, and you could tell that everything was done with so much care and attention to detail. The beach is gorgeous, although more for exploring than for swimming. Thank you Leslie for teaching us how to go clam digging, then digging for us, cooking it with/for us, and showing us how to eat it (he also helped us cook lobsters!) We would have never figured it all out! Our friends also came to stay and we enjoyed exploring PEI and having fires at night. I didn't know much about PEI when I booked this, and I'm so glad we chose the beautiful Woods Island as our home base. Make sure to bring LOTS of bug spray as the Mosquitos were intense.

Cottage Rental - Burlington, Ontario

We rented the Starboard Cottage for a week. It was nicer than even the pictures showed on the internet. So clean, bright, with lots of windows and all the amenities you could want. Ocean view from the combined living room dinning room as well as lighthouse views. Quiet & peaceful with steps to the ocean. When the tied is out it is great for walking, digging clams or for small children a great place to dig & splash in the ankle deep water. We had a fire almost every night, wood was provided. It is not in the hub of things but that is what we wanted. You can easily get to all areas of PEI. The owners are wonderful, thoughtful and kind people. Golf courses near by, two wineries as well. Fresh fish/lobster just down the road, fresh veggie stand a short drive away, what more could you want. I can't say enough about this cottage & property. I would definitely return and have no hesitation recommending it to anyone.

Sixth year in Starboard cottage

We are returning this July for our sixth summer vacation in Leslie's Starboard cottage, at Homeport by the Sea! We enjoy the view, the private beach, the cosy cottage decor, (washer and dryer),the large sunny kitchen, the hummingbirds. Our daughter's family has stayed in Port cottage, and loved it also.Leslie and her property manager, Darryl are onsite, and work very hard to look after everyone's needs, big or small. We highly recommend this beautiful beach property, no air conditioning needed!
