Cavendish Beach Cottages Review

Location, location, location. This compound of about a dozen closely spaced cottages is located on a grassy rise within PEI's lovely national park (the area where the best beaches are), just past the gatehouse to the park. The pine-paneled units come in one-, two-, and three-bedroom configurations, and while they won't win any prizes for design each does have a queen bed (most add another double bed or two, as well). And all of them feature direct ocean views, cable television, air-conditioning (not that you'll need it), kitchenettes with microwaves and dishwashers, and outdoor propane barbecue grills. Some have tubs while others have showers only, but generally speaking these are a great choice for couples and families -- all the more so, since every cottage is no more than a 2-minute walk from the beach. The swingsets, playhouse, and picnic tables are the capper. There's also easy access right onto Gulf Shore Drive, where you find some of PEI's best walking and biking trails. No pets are allowed in the cottages, and all units are non-smoking.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
