Guests
The Master
1 Queen
1 Bunkbed (2 twins)
1 Full Bureau
1 Nook (Office / Crib space)
The Master faces East to great the glorious island sunrise with tonnes of natural light throughout the day and fresh evening breezes.
Located the furthest away from the living area and right beside the second washroom, the room also has a secluded nook, ideal either as a quiet office/work space, or to use with a BYO crib or playpen (not included) making it the best choice for families and/or gangs of littleuns.
The fabled antique Mexican table lamps have accented the lighting and piqued conversation in the beachhouse for generations. We could say plenty more about them, but that would ruin their charm.
The Breezeway
1 Queen
1 Twin
1 Bureau + 1 Closet with shelving
That person in the group that HAS to have the window open at night?
THIS is their room.
South-facing with a whisper-quiet high velocity ceiling fan, the Breezeway room is in between The Master and Crimson Retreat. and is second only to medical grade ventilators at delivering pure oxygen to your soul.
The windows CAN be closed and the blackout shades drawn down if need be, but doing so causes unspeakable heartache for a mermaid somewhere, somehow. Or so the kids have told us.
You’ve been warned.
The Crimson Lookout
1 Queen
1 Dresser
1 Closet
The last of the long summer rays hit this west-facing room, best for 1 or 2 people who tend to take the last watch on any given evening.
Our homage to PEI’s claim to the highest concentration of lighthouses in North America, if you’re staying in the Crimson room it’s tradition for you to ensure all ships are ashore before turning in.
Paradoxically, and quite without reason, the occupants of this room also have historically been the best coffee brewers in charge of setting the next day off on the right foot.
Go figure.
The Fishbowl
1 Glorious View of the Ocean
1 Loveseat Glider
2 Single Rockers
This is where the magic is. You want your morning coffee AND your nightcap in here, and it’s set up to make both equally cozy.
The north + east facing windows bring you the days first light, the sound of crashing waves, the soothing hum of lobster boats, the nighttime serenade of peepers and all-day breezes.
This fully screened in room is completely bug proof and you can open or close any of the window panels to suit your taste.
The fishbowl is best enjoyed with friends and family or alone, with coffee or wine, while strumming a guitar or sitting in silence, with or without a book and before or after a meaningful disconnect from the world at large.
It’s been proven this space is best for daytime relaxation and sun worshipping except by the night owls who have also proven its best as a tranquil and private evening escape.
Who doesn’t love a twofer?
