About this property

Homeport "Portside" Lighthouse Views. Firepit. Minutes to Ferry - Nova Scotia

Tourism license number: 2300273
During Peak-Season Portside rents Sat-Sat mostly in high season. Portside cottage rests 75 feet from a 1000 foot long deep clean red and white sandy beach. The cottage faces the Northumberland Strait on the southernmost tip of PEI, with the warmest waters and calmest seas on PEI. We have 3 cottages on 20 acres and a completely private lane. You will share the beach with one other cottage whose property borders near Portside. If you love the beach, you will be right at home here. There is a big change in the tide every day. At high tide you can swim or walk along the shore and search for sea glass and other treasures. When the tide is low, you can swim, and take advantage of all the sea life on the sandbars and tide-pools. You can walk for miles on the bare sandbars at low tide or dig some bar clams. There are plenty of chaise loungers, small wooden tables, and umbrellas on the beach to catch some shade on hot afternoons.

Portside is a 2 bedroom cottage with cathedral ceilings in the open concept kitchen/living/dining rooms. One bedroom has a queen-size bed, and the second bedroom has a single over double bunk-bed. We offer a single blow-up mattress for any extra guests. There is a view of the Wood Islands lighthouse from all points of the shore side of the cottage. Portside has a 3.5 star Canada Select Rating.

We are 1 km from Plough Through The Waves visitor information center with a liquor outlet and shops. Service stations, banking institutions, and grocery stores are located in Montague, a 15 minute drive North. Two golf courses are within 15 minutes. Tbere is also a trail system that starts there.

Island Haven
Loved this cottage on the beach of PEI- amazing place to enjoy the tides and tidal pools! Quiet location with all the amenities we required - felt like it was our own little secluded haven! Easy access to everywhere else we wanted to explore on PEI! Great seafood close by to be able to cook on our own!

Gem on PEI!
Absolutely wonderful location, steps from the beach with tides changing the sandbanks and tidal pools daily! A beautiful cottage, clean, well stocked and well maintained and a lovely home base for island exploration. That said, the location was so perfect, we soon put away our guide books and plans, choosing instead to simply enjoying the beach and spectacular scenery! A perfect spot to unwind and recharge!

Amazing week. Wonderful rental. Spectacular view from cottage.
We enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It met all of our expectations. Darryl was a great host. We especially enjoyed watching the tide come in and out, playing on the clean sandy beach, watching the ferries come and go and watching the seals. At low tide we could walk to the lighthouse. It was a great rental to have our 18 month old grandson at as the beach area was so clean and safe and there was a great outdoor play area and a large grass that he could run and play. We would definitely recommend this rental.

Comfortable, clean and minutes from the ferry.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Homeport by the Sea. The cottage was very comfortable, clean, and the view was great. At low tide it was fun to go out on the beach and check the tide pools. Darryl (and Chase the dog) were wonderful hosts. We enjoyed learning about lobster fishing on the island. Darryl was able to supply us with the freshest lobster we had ever eaten. So glad we visited in lobster fishing season! I recommend this property without hesitation. Wish we could have stayed longer.
